The Weekend

Casey has been working really hard and doing really well in his classes. He has another big test tomorrow in Anatomy, so hopefully that will be a good score too. We do get to see him from time to time. This morning after church we went to a little lake with a trail and went for the 3 mile walk around it. Izaac biked and Bella rode in the stroller and we stopped half way around for a picnic snack. Very fun!



Yesterday, we went on a "hike" with Izaac's Awana class. It was actually at the same lake we walked around today, but we didn't go all the way around. Izaac is doing such a good job at Awana and learning about 3 new verses each week.



Then yesterday afternoon, the kids and I went over to our friend, Dahlia's house and baked cookies with her and Chealse, whose husbands go to school with Casey. The cookies were delicious and I have eaten way too many!

If you would like to know what we look out at every day, here is a picture of the view from our backyard.


Izaac loves to take pictures with my camera and when it's digital, who cares, right? So here are a few pictures from Izaac...

Hide & Seek and Shoes

Ok, this is not the most interesting blog update, but I have 10 minutes and a few pictures, so why not, right? Bella has been LOVING Hide and Seek lately. She is actually very good and hides somewhere new almost every time. Here are a couple of shots of her hiding under her bed and under the dining room table.
Izaac also learned to tie his shoes a couple of weeks ago. Here is a picture of his first tied shoe :)

Zoo Trip

I just realized that although we did see a lot of real animals at the zoo, I only took pictures of the kids on statues of animals. Oh well, you didn't really want to see the zoo animals anyway, right?

The kids playing Connect 4 together...so sweet :)

A Few Pictures

I miss blogging! We are doing great in our new home in Omaha. Casey is very busy studying, but he is doing well and enjoying it so far. Here are a few pictures to get started again.

Bella is getting to be such a big girl.

Daddy took some time off from studying today to go to the air show with us at Offutt Air Force base, which is about 2 miles from our house. We saw some really cool planes.

Bella was more interested in the babies that we passed by.

Aunt Paige and Grandma came to visit us on Thursday. We spent the day walking, shopping, going to a little learning center near our house and key hunting:). Here are a couple of pictures of Izaac pretending to be a bunny rabbit.

New House

We bought a new house in Bellevue, Nebraska today! It is a little more south than we planned, but it will still be a nice commute for Casey and we just love this cute neighborhood and we can see the green for hole #6 in our back yard. This makes our upcoming move seem so much more real...which is exciting and scary at the same time.

Lots of Pictures

Ok, first I was having a hard time remembering to take pictures and now I am a little addicted and I have A LOT to put on this post, so it is going to be a long one. We are getting started with packing, but still have a ways to go. I can't believe we will be out of our house in just over a week! This will show you a little of what we've been keeping busy with. Enjoy!

Easter morning... Yes that is an M&M in Bella's mouth :)

































Izaac & best friend Hannah at her "Fairy Princess Birthday Party"














Izaac's on his first T-Ball team. His first game is coming up on Saturday.



















The kids having a picnic on our deck with some care group friends.














A great afternoon a few days ago sitting outside blowing bubbles with Daddy.
























































It's hard to get Izaac to hold still long enough to take his picture. He was busy running around with our neighbor boy, but he stood still for a minute and I got him.














Bella is usually busy watching "Bubba" running too.














A few more just for fun.

Bella's First Ponytail

We got some new hair accessories from a friend a couple of days ago and were trying them on. Here's a couple pictures of Bella with her first pigtail and a cute little barrette. She didn't like that as well... Also a picture of Bella and her cousin Keenan getting into the shred bin :) I am not sure if you can see if really well in the picture, but she even has pieces of shredded paper in her hair. I think she likes that accessory best!
