A Visit to My Sister Breanne's in O'Fallon

This is at Bryce's Preschool graduation, Next year he will be in Kindergarten!



Breanne, Avery, and I went to pick strawberries at Echert's farm with her Neighbors Marci, Harper, and CJ. The Strawberries were delicious!






Saturday was Bryce's Soccer game and he did great!

Just goofing around with the avery, what is not shown is this photo was the hour long facetime converstaion that Bryce had with his cousin CoCo back home in Utah. It was hilarious to listen to! They are both 5 years old and were scheming about what pranks they were going to play on people in the house when they saw each other. They also decided they need a hole in the ceiling at my parents house so that they could jump on the trampoline in the basement and jump through the ceiling into CoCo's room. 


Avery trying on my shoes... I don't think they are on the right feet even...

London Sightseeing

 London Baby here we come! We were lucky enough to get the lay down seats in first class for the new direct flight from SLC to LHR. It was so great!

When we arrived in London we rode the tube from the airport to the westminster stop and walked across the bridge to our hotel.

After checking in the hotel we got passes for the double decker buses to take us around. So worth it!

Clock tower and Big Ben

St. Paul's Cathedral

Tower Bridge


London Hotel Views

We were able to stay at the Marriott located at the London County Hall building (which is directly next to the London Eye and across the bridge from the clock tower/big ben and houses of parliament. We had a fabulous room and even more fabulous views! Would definitely stay there again!













London Dungeon

In the County Hall Building where we stayed was an attraction called the London Dungeon with rides and fun actors. A fun to do if you visit London.






London at Night

 We rode the double decker bus on the night tour and it was truly breathtaking!









London Adventures


Today I flew solo as I sent Henry and his buddy off on their own to be boys. Which was a bit freeing I must say... sorry honey, you know I love ya!

Just got back from a river cruise to Greenwich which didn't occur to me until the tour guide pointed out that is where time is based off of...and a guided tour of Westminster Abbey! So incredible. There aren't words.... And I took one picture from inside before I learned that it wasn't allowed... Ooops... And of course I would find a Saint Bernard across from the clock tower well just because... and then you really can't be a true tourist without one of these fun hats!!


River Cruise Photos

Tower Bridge (not called London Bridge I was told by every tour guide in London)




Shakespeare Globe Theatre



Tower of London

In Greenwich





After the river cruise and while walking over to Westminster Abbey I came across this beautiful saint bernard! Of course I would find one!



Westminster Abbey! I went on a 2 1/2 hour guided tour that took me to places in the Abbey that those on the self guided tour with the audio headset were not allowed to go. It was incredible!!! If you ever take a tour pay the extra 5 pounds and go on the guided tour! So worth it!




I took this photo inside the Abbey before I learned you are not allowed to take photos in there.. But it was sure gorgeous!



As icing on the cake I went and saw Wicked which was utterly incredible! And rode in the famous black taxis too and from the theater.



And of course I had to pick up a souvenir along the way!
