This little ladybug turns ONE today and I have never been more aware and thankful for how blessed Aubrey and I are to have her in our lives. She is a little ray of sunshine who brightens up every room she is in. Happy Birthday Adele!! ...

‪Some sights from the Rowden house today. You might think this was an abnormal day...but you would be wrong. ‬ ...

‪She stole my hat 🤷🏼‍♂️‬ ...

‪#TeamRowden had an awesome time at the #MIZ108HC Parade this AM. Always great to see so many friends and supporters! Now it’s time to go beat up on Ole Miss!‬ ...

Final preparations being made for tomorrow’s #MIZ108HC Parade. The #VictoryVan has a new pic on it (welcome to #TeamRowden Adele) and lots and lots and lots of candy is ready to be thrown out! We’ll see you tomorrow #MIZZOU. ...

‪Really great to hear from Chancellor Alexander Cartwright this morning as he gave his “State of the University” address. #MIZZOU is strong and getting stronger. ‬ ...

It was an honor to stand with a great group of men and women yesterday, Republican and Democrat, to celebrate the beginning of the process of building a brand new Rocheport bridge. This wouldn't have happened without everyone from the local level to the federal level working together, recognizing what a major issue the bridge had become, and working together to find the best solution -- a brand new bridge and not rehabbing the existing bridge.

This wouldn't have been possible without the push from Governor Mike Parson to focus on critical infrastructure, as well as Senator Roy Blunt for his efforts to bring more than $80m of federal money into the project.

This is a huge win for the 19th Senate District, but is an even bigger win for the state as a whole. Proud to have been a part of this and excited to see the finished structure. ...

My current view 👀 ...

‪Was honored to speak to some awesome @cafnr students today about #Ag policy, my role as Senate Majority Leader and public service. Some great future leaders! #MidMOForward ‬ ...

I was honored to be able to tour Unlimited Opportunities/Boonslick Industries yesterday in Boonville. These men and women are doing great things in their community. A really fantastic Cooper County resource. ...

‪It was great to present the WK family with a Senate resolution today in Boonville celebrating 100 years of service to #MidMO. A well respected, family owned small business!‬ ...

‪What a great night launching my reelection in #CoMo. Grateful for all the support and even more grateful to have an awesome family by my side for this campaign! Excited to talk about continuing to move #MidMOForward to the people of Boone and Cooper Counties in the coming months.‬ ...

‪Final preparations 👀 Join us tonight from 5:30p-7p at the Atrium (10th and Walnut in downtown #CoMo) for Caleb’s campaign kickoff! Going to be a great night! #MidMOForward ‬ ...

‪Sometimes you just have to use the cat as a pillow 🤷🏼‍♂️‬ ...

‪Beautiful night & big crowd for the 2nd Annual Rock Bridge Lions Club Picnic benefitting @welcomehomevets. Thanks to @logboatbrewing for hosting & a huge shoutout to @columbiahonda for donating a car that was given to a deserving veteran. This community is AWESOME! #MidMOForward‬ ...

I am not sure who this all-grown-up kid is, but there’s no way he’s my little Willem! ...

Had a great time at the #CoMo Police Foundation Trivia Night. Willem joined me (in his pajamas). Everyone in attendance got a sneak peak of the “Back the Blue” license plate @saraformissouri was able to make happen this year! ...

‪September 11th was a day marked by evil. People attempting to shatter our foundation of liberty & freedom. But the American spirit endured through this tragedy & will continue to endure.‬ ‪May God continue to bless the families of the men & women who lost their lives that day. #NeverForget ‬ ...

Some sights and sounds from this Labor Day weekend. I often fail to really let it sink in just how blessed I am to have two awesome, healthy kiddos who are vibrant, smart and generally amazing. Willem is absolutely too smart for his own good, and Adele is the happiest camper just about every second of the day. Aubrey and I are truly blessed! ...
