Vacation!!!

We went to Omaha, NE on vacation this year. Our first stop was the zoo.
It wasn't too hot the day we went so the kids had fun.

Daddy, Trey and Trista petting the goats. You know I wasn't going to touch it!!

After looking at a lot of things that morning we decided to go to the IMAX theatre after lunch to sit in the AC and relax a little bit. Trey was really digging the 3D glasses for the
Under the Sea show.

Man. We are so cool in 3D glasses. :)

After the IMAX show we rode the Skyfari. Trey was a little nervous about it at first so I told him to just wave and say "Hi!" to everybody. So he started doing that and then he said, "Hey Mommy, did you see that lady? She looked really familiar to me." It just cracked me up that he knew the word familiar.
After the Skyfari, Trista decided that she was too tired to walk. Daddy is such a sucker!
So it Trista! We got her to start walking. All we had to do was give her ice-cream!

Mommy and Trista riding in the go-carts.

Trey driving the bumper cars.
We went to the Children's Museum, but forgot to take our camera so no pictures of that!
We were supposed to go to this really cool waterpark on 4th of July, but it was raining and cold so we went to this indoor waterpark. Just as much fun and we didn't have to worry about sunburns! Trista in her swimsuit. The top usually comes down over her belly. Notice how much darker her arms and legs are than her tummy. She love posing for pictures. Can you tell?

Trey loves wearing his googles so he can see under water. I think he looks like a little scuba diver! I had to bribe him to get his picture. He was going through this "I hate having my picture taken stage" the whole time we were on vacation. I was not liking it.



Check out my great hair do!

Lantz is not as graceful as the rest of us on the water slide.

Trista and Daddy
Isn't she sweet! She is watching me type this saying, "My Daddy is holding me. I love him!" As she says it she gives herself a hug. Such a Daddy's girl! I am okay when he is not around. She keeps crying every morning when he goes to work and she wants to go with him. He told her one day that it would be boring and she said, "But Daddy, I could pack some toys." Oh the drama of Trista.

Trey showing off his back floating.

We got to see a really cool fireworks show in Omaha. Grandma Kay always gives the kids t-shirts to wear. Again, Trey is too cool for a picture.
And again, Trista loving to pose!
We had a great trip!

Funny Bathtub

Trey cracks me up! He is always wanting bubbles when he takes a bath instead of a shower and then is always makes a Santa beard. He thinks he is so funny!

Baseball



Trey played t-ball again this summer. He was excited that some of his friends from school were on his team. He is still figuring everything out and it was fun to watch. He kept telling me after he hit the ball, " Mommy, I ran fast like a rocket!" He also took to sliding into home every time even if he didn't need to. I told him that I really liked how he was doing that and he said, "Yeah, mommy because if you slide you get two points." I didn't tell him otherwise!

April's Wedding

April's wedding reception was a lot of fun. Trista wanted a picture with her, but kept giving herself bunny ears. I think she has Lantz's sense of humor! :) April looked so beautiful! I couldn't get a picture of Trey with anyone because he was too busy running around with Nathan all night. He was so tired the next day.
