home is our haven.

Crazy fun we have had the last few weeks. Tired now, but as always, it was worth it. We made a last minute decision to drive to omaha and then on to minneapolis. Yes, we are crazy. But we love our family and needed some time with the grandparents. The first leg of the trip to Omaha was a doozy. We then wised up and borrowed my brothers portable dvd player. Dream come true. Veggie tales is still playin a tune in my head. I learned a lot about how to entertain a 1 year old while keeping him strapped down to the seat. If he got fussy I simply sang along with bob and larry, or opened the windows to blur out the screaming. The crowd pleaser though was throwing tennis balls at daddy while he was driving. That seemed to do the trick every time. Oh well. We made it there and back. And it was worth it.

Getting ready to leave.

Jeff and Jenn's Shower!
Such pretty scenery to celebrate their upcoming big day. Notice the wheelbarrow of gifts.

Uncle Blake.

Twin Cities.
Glad to be with auntie and uncle

Como Zoo
Joel and I miss the cities as people call it. After all, we fell in love there....So many happy memories. Grandma and Grandpa make it quite fun to go back and visit though. They took a few days off work so we could all enjoy being together. And enjoy we did. Joel and I even got an afternoon to ourselves.

LOVE.

Cuteness.

Cheese!

aaand back in Omaha.

I wish Jack could enjoy the horses everyday. Not to mention the birds and trees. Poor kid, it's like he's never seen a bird before. Chases them everywhere. Maybe this weekend we can plant a tree.

And the morning after that, was it. Back home in Colorful Colorado. Flowers are still alive and everything still smells like home. Thank goodness.
