Nana and Dave came over for Lily's birthday luncheon. Lily requested tacos for her birthday lunch. She had quite a birthday. We went to a local restaurant for her birthday dinner where she got her presents. We spent a night in Omaha for her birthday. That's what she wanted to do. We went to a water park and went to the zoo. We had a nice time. I took my camera but Kent and I had a misunderstanding about the batteries. So, we had to use Abbey's camera. Not sure how to download pictures from her camera. I'll have to wait on Kent to do that!!! Anyway, Lily had a great birthday! Can't believe she will be starting preschool this year! Happy Birthday Lily! We love you!!

Nana's Birthday

Lily and Nana

Nana, Gracie and Abbey. We made lunch for Nana on her birthday. Then, we had cake and slushies. We also made hot tea for her from the tea pot that brews hot tea from a flowering bulb. It was pretty cool and we all had a good time.

Gracie with her instructor, Mrs. Smith before going out on the trail.

Nana gave Gracie a riding lesson for her birthday gift this year. She got to spend the morning learning about the horses and then rode the trails at Girl Scout Camp to all the different camp sites. Then, they had their lunch out on the trail. She had a great time and learned a lot about horses from Mrs. Smith.

HAPPY JULY 4th!!!

Ready to go to Mimi's for the 4th of July!

We went to Mimi's for the 4th of July this year. We had great food and a great fireworks display by Uncle C.F. and Kent. It was nice to spend time with family. The girls had fun playing with Beau and Lucy and Colby, who is here for the holiday week.
