Red Robin

For Kate's birthday we went to Red Robin for dinner and had a really fun time!


A pretty good size group of employees came out and sang a birthday song to Kate. They had balloons, a sundae and fruit snacks for her. While they were singing she was trying to figure out what the heck was going on, it was pretty fun. By the way...Red Robin takes care of you on your birthday, we couldn't have gone to a better place.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE- WE LOVE YOU!




Kate Turns 2

Kate turned 2 on August 15th and we had a garden party for her! This little girl is happy, very busy and full of life!! She is constantly making us laugh and makes friends where ever she goes. She is the best at giving kisses, even to people she just meets. She is best friends with Davis and I can't imagine the two of them not having each other. We love her so much and are so thankful for her in our lives!!!

Kate loved her pinata and I thought it was so cute I had a hard time seeing it go.



Lincoln Zoo

A couple of weeks ago the zoo had a fundraiser where you could take unlimited trains rides around the zoo for free. We met our friends, the Keippel's (so glad you guys are here we have a great time hanging out with you) and rode the train and looked at the animals!



Children's Museum

Lincoln has the most amazing Children's Museum. It is 3 stories and filled with so many creative things for children to play with. We spent almost 2 1/2 hours on the bottom level alone. The kids and I met my friend Bonnie and her children there. The bottom floor has a fun water station that the kids just loved. Needless to say this will be a great source of entertainment in the winter time which is why I am getting a season pass!!



Antique Tractor Show

Just outside of Lincoln we went to an Antique Tractor Show where we met up with the Keippel's, some friends of ours here. The kids had a great time with each other playing on the tractors!

Davis and Mark playing in a tractor game they had for children. They had to "race" around the cones, pick up hay and load it in the trailer, and drive backwards. It was funny to watch.

Davis and Kate on the little tractor, they spent forever on this thing.

Lincoln, Nebraska

So we finally made it to Lincoln!! This is our house (the first home Mark and I have lived in since being married)! We have so much more room than our little student apartment in LA. We have 4 bedrooms and 3 baths so all of the kids including the baby who is on his way, all have their own rooms. We have a basement and a fenced backyard which are great for the kids. We love Lincoln! The community here is great and every thing is so family friendly, this place was made for families! We enjoy all the many parks they have, the zoo, awesome children's museum, water parks, bike trails, etc. We have also made some great friends. More than anything we are excited to have made it through dental school and are that much closer to being done with school in general.
