The Zoo!

There is an awesome Zoo here in Omaha, within walking distance of where we live. We went for the first time last week. We got a season pass, so I'm sure we'll be going often. Joe loved it, especially the aquarium (which I didn't get pictures of).

All tuckered out after a long day at the zoo. What a cutie!

To the Dad's in Our Lives...

Happy Father's Day! We love you!

Millions of Peaches

Joe is quite the master stair climber, and descender? We didn't have stairs at our apartment in Poky and he is loving them!


So, we had the missionaries over for dinner the other night. I had to take the fruit bowl off its home on our kitchen table to make room for the food. However, with one side of the sink covered in clean, drying dishes, and the other side covered in my dinner mess, I had no counter space on which to put the bowl. I put it on the floor. Conveniently, it kept Joe entertained for most of dinner. Later that night we trapped Joe in the kitchen so Zach could paint the family room. Zach hears Joe slurping something and discovers Joe had helped himself to a peach from the bowl. For some reason we thought it was hilarious. But really, isn't he just the cutest?

This is my sexy, intelligent, (I could write plenty more words here, but I will spare you) hubby. He's twenty-five today!


What would I do without him in my life?!


I love you, Zach!

Home, this is Home

For those who are interested, here are a bajillion pics of our townhouse. We're loving it and feel very fortunate to be living here. There is still some decorating I would like to do, but we're in no rush.

Upstairs Living Room

Laundry Room, complete with mountain of clean laundry


Living Room


Our Room (sorry for the crappy photo, I'm too lazy to take another)


Basement- this pic makes the paint look super bright, it's darker in person.


Basement again


Guest/Storage room- normally there aren't boxes all over the bed, but yesterday I had to get to our food storage which was, of course, at the very back of all our storage... clearly, I have yet to put back the boxes.


Kitchen

Joe's Room - yes, it's purple. It actually matches his bedding really well, and I don't think he'll be old enough to care until around the time we move again.

Bathroom- possibly the greatest upgrade from our pocatello apartment to here. I love not being embarrassed to have someone use our bathroom!
