WE SAW THOMAS!!!

When we moved to Omaha the first thing on our agenda was to see the
one and only Thomas the Tank Engine.
We got to spend the afternoon with him and his friends.
Here are pictures of our fun-filled day.

They had train sets up that kids could watch.
Owen would have stayed and watched them all day.

They also had a little spray park where Owen got soaked!

Yes, that is Sir Topham Hatt!

Bye bye, "To To"

You should see the other guy.

About a month ago, Owen got attached by the bottom step of our stairs in the backyard.
This is how he faired.

Our Box BBQ

Right before we moved out of our house in Grand Island we decided to have a box BBQ.
Yes, we had all of our friends bring one box (suitable for packing).
Then they had to be ready to eat, drink, and be merry!
There was swimming, mingling, food, drinks, a sprinkler, and much laughter.
We'll miss Grand Island.

Catching Up

Sorry we have not posted in quite awhile.
We moved to Omaha at the end of July and then went to Oregon to see Lane's family.
We are now trying to adjust and get out of boxes.
Here are some photos of Owen with his great grandparents.
Stay tuned for photos from the Oregon trip.

Missing Our Neighbors

Owen and Hayden were really starting to become friends before we moved to Omaha.
We miss him and his family. They were the best neighbors!
Here are some fun pictures of the two boys together.

Saying good-bye

Happy (belated) Birthday, Grandpa Bud!

Lane's grandpa Bud turned 80 this year and we went tanking down the Cedar River
to celebrate the wonderful occasion. Even the S.O.B. (Sweet Ol' Bud) traveled down
the river with us.
It was a lot of fun and Owen did pretty well.

Daddy spent most of his time tank jumping.

Owen helped Papa get firewood.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Bud!!
Happy little guy!

Owen LOVED Lane's uncle Joe's dog, Hershey.
Jordan helped to get Hershey to stand still for a second.

Happy (belated) Birthday, Kaden!!

July 11th marked the first birthday of Mr. Kaden Dean Brown!!!
We were thinking of you all day, Kaden.
We hope you had a great birthday party.
We can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.
