Kezzi saw the picture of the other girls at the zoo and said, "Where's me?" So here is Kezzi pointing out an elephant (you have to look for it). 

Here's another photo I found of Tori and Fowler that I thought was good.

Finally!!! An UPDATE!!!!!

Well, I know I've been promising posts to all you fine people for a couple of months now. It's not for lack of pictures that I haven't posted. I have 216 just from May alone!!! (That's when we took our trip to MO and IL.) I just keep thinking I have to have a huge block of time to sit down and post. Then I realize that if I post everything at once, nobody will be able to look at it all at once, anyway.

So I decided that since I'm up early (Tori's going to the doctor this morning), I'd post just a couple of pictures, maybe just ones of the girls with the alligators. Well, I did that quickly, and thought, maybe I'll do a couple of Fowler (my sister Franki's baby born in February... we stayed with them one night in Kirkwood, MO on the way to Grandmother and Pop's). Well, as a result, there are 12 photos posted, and now I have only 30 minutes to dress myself and get the girls up and dressed to go to the doctor.

I have a ton more pictures I want to share, so check back again (those of you who haven't already given up on me!). I have pictures of the St. Louis Zoo with the Neeleys, fun and family in IL, visits from Nana and Papa, Uncle Jesse, the Wolheters (who had pictures of their visit on their blog way before me!), and Pop, and much more!

Love to you all... thanks for your patience! Holli

We finally meet Fowler Neeley! What a sweetie!!! And so cute! 

Big girl Kezzi holding big boy Fowler! 

Tori, ever the poser, with her cousin Fowler. 

I think Abbi had me take 10 pictures of just her and Fowler! 

My middle girls, their Aunt Franki and Fowler all cheesing it up! (Okay, so Fowler isn't really a master of the cheese, he's wondering when the photos will end!) 

While we were in St. Louis with the Neeleys, we enjoyed many fun things. Maybe I'll post our Krispy Kreme photos later, but here's a picture from our night out at the arch. I love this picture because it's crazy. We were standing at the base of the arch as it was getting dark. I practically laid on the concrete to get the shot. Kezzi was asleep in the stroller, or she'd be in there, too.  

We visited Meramec Caverns on our way to visit the Neeleys and Grandmother and Pop. Tori took this picture of me, and since I rarely post photos of myself, I thought I'd use this one from the caverns. We enjoyed the caverns, and spent the night there, too. (In the very retro motel, not in the caves themselves!) 

The next 5 pictures are at the RiverSide Reptile Ranch, just outside of Meramec Caverns. We weren't sure what we were getting into when we went, but it turned out to be a great place to visit! They had everything from lions and emus to tortoises and alligators. The guy that lead us around let the girls touch and hold some interesting stuff.

Here is Abbi holding one of the snakes they got to touch. It was especially cute when Abbi held the snakes, because she cradled them like a baby!

I was really impressed that Abbi (Tori and Emmi, too) actually held the alligator. The reptile ranch guy was standing just outside these pictures. He would count to three, jump out of the picture, and jump back in when I had snapped it. 

Emmi cheesing it up with the alligator. 

Finally, here's Tori and the alligator. 

This crazy look is as close as Kezzi got to holding the alligator.
