a few updates






There is a new bridge here in downtown Omaha that they just finished building that goes across the Missouri River. It is actually a really cool bridge. Tyler is excited about it because it leads to 100 miles of biking trails. We went up yesterday after conference to check it out.



I gave Parker some ice cream and forgot to take away his bowl from lunch. When I looked over he had both spoons in his hands and he was eating the noodles with the ice cream. Sounds grose to me...but whatever.





This is kind of sad. Tyler and Spencer have been working so hard on this garden for about 6 months now. Weeding, cutting down trees, building fences to keep out the critters...they have done a lot. They were really excited for the watermelons and we had like 15 of them. They were growing so big and we were just waiting to cut one open. Well, the other day we did and it was so delicious...ok, not really. It was actually all yellow inside and horrible. Anyway, in the couple days to follow there was a raccoon that sneaked his way into our garden and dug out all the insides of the watermelons. What a little devil!! So now we don't have any watermelons. But that is ok I guess. Our garden has produced a lot of other yummy stuff that we have been able to enjoy. :)





We went to the rodeo last week with some of our friends.

I'm really glad Tyler tried out his blogging abilities because those pictures and the story was hilarious!! Good job Tyler! Anyway- it looks like you guys had fun at the rodeo! And I'm sorry to hear about you watermelons! I guess the racoon saved you from eating yellow, yucky watermelons huh?:)
