Goodbye July

Happy Father's Day to Matt. This is a little old but I loved the picture so I had to put it up. This was Matt's first offical Father's Day. We started the day with breakfast and gift number one. He loves to grill and smoke meat but all of our aprons are my size and a bit girlie. He is always saying how he wants an apron that actually fits, so that is what he got for Father's Day.
He also got an electronic shaver but I don't have a picture of that. We went to church then had a Father’s Day dinner.































Literally the world's UGLIEST pie. For dinner Matt wanted peach pie. After making the crust I started putting it on the top and ran out. I just started putting the strips on and this is what happened. Luckily when it cooked it all formed together, but it was so awful to begin with I had to take a picture.














The Missouri River continued to rise through July. This is the flooding by my work.

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

We had a great holiday. We started the day with a breakfast at Dave and Dahlia's house. This was the only picture I got of Dahlia and Chelsea’s very patriotic nail polish. Our friend set up a huge slip and slide across the street from our house. It was quite the spectacle. I didn't dare go down with the baby, but it looked like a blast. We ended the day with a bbq at our house. Matt made his famous ribs then we all watched fireworks. Good times.

This is about the closest we have seen to a tornado in Omaha. The sirens were going off and the clouds were swirling but that is all that happened. The storms out here are something to see.
