Zoo 1/3

On Friday we visited the zoo in Omaha. So they let me bring a bunch of animals to see the other animals...and they let me take mine home again. I split these up into a few slide shows. Garrett had the camera the majority of the time. If any one wants pictures of just about every animal at the zoo just let me know I am so glad I had 2 4GB cards for my camera with me, hey we even have a couple of videos. He loves photography.

July 4th Fireworks

Just wanted to share some of the fireworks with you.

July 4th Pre-Fireworks

So we we off to Fireworks after supper. When we got there a man was handing out balloon creations that he was making for the kids. He gave Shelby a penguin that fell in the grass. Boy, did she cry. After he finished making Seth a sword he made he this fantastic monkey. She was very careful with it and it even made it home. The big boys sat in front of us and threw fire crackers etc. It was so much fun being together!

July 4th Pool

So on day 2 Heath had to work so Lois came over and went swimming with the kids. I was not feeling well still so Seth sat with me this time. We went swimming later after the zoo and he went then. We found the green thing Shelby is wearing in one of these for him and I'm glad we did as he had no fear. I have no pics of him swimming as I was in the pool with him so I could not take any pictures. We had the whole pool to ourselves and so Lois brought a jar of change and threw it all over the pool for the kids to find. They had a lot of fun. Kaleb learned the hard way not to dive for money near his sister-in-laws' toes... Then we went off to their house to have lunch and let the kids play Wii. Heath does not have a t.v so thankfully their new house has a huge blank wall in their family room for his projector. Levi really got into it.

July 3rd

Well, we arrived in Nebraska right around the time Heath got off work, so he met us at our motel. We went and bought a bunch of fireworks for the kids and waited for Lois to get off from work. They then took us bowling. It was great since no one else was there we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It was the first time Seth and Shelby had ever been bowling. Seth had a trouble lifting the ball so Lois went and got him a ramp. Obviously, you can tell by the scores, that it helped him a great deal. We need to do this more often, as the kids (and parents) had a great time. Then we headed back to their house to have supper and have our own fireworks show.

Rental House

Ok, Now looking at these I only took pictures of the front and Garrett was working on the same shutter the whole time. Boy, do I miss Kaleb (at camp) but Garrett kicked it up and we got it done! Anyway we needed to do some much needed work on the rental. Anyone know a good reliable renter? We have a 2 bedroom available now....

Graduation

Just a sneak peak. I hope to get some more up yet this weekend. I could not get the boys to stay still so there are more of Shelby with her friends then Seth with the guys. Sorry the grad group is blurry I took it from the back of the church as I helped the kids get ready. I will get a better one from one of my friends.
