  • OMAHA CHILDREN'S MUSEUM


    3/23/07


    The closest temple for our church is The Winter Quarters Temple located in Omaha, Nebraska.  When we make a trip to worship we usually stay the night and reserve part of the day to treat our children to a little activity.  This month we went to the Children's Museum, we have been before, but Garrett (and recently Logan) love it.

    The ball area is always the biggest hit...it has all these places that you can place the balls in and it takes it to a holding bin in the center of the room.  When the bin is full enough, it releases and all the balls drop out on the kids.  They love it, we spent a good hour in this room alone.

      This is how our car rides are spent.  Garrett has become quite the singer lately, he is constantly singing or humming or making some sort of noise!


     


    EASTER


    4/7 - 4/8


    The Saturday before Easter we got together with friends for a lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt.  Normally we do it outside of our townhomes, but it was so cold this year that we had to move it up to our churh.  It was a rotten weekend to anticipate having outdoor events.  The children were miserable at the city hunts and at our townhouse hunt.  We managed to have fun b/c candy was involved, but being outside was not enjoyable.

    Later that same day, we had another Easter Egg hunt here at the Townhouses

    Our good friends Kendall and Kelley had their new baby.  I took the twins for their first visit to see their brother the day he was born.  It was fun to see them acquaint themselves with baby Talan.  He is a cute kid!

    I had a good time for my birthday with friends and neighbors.  It was kind of a goodbye also as we are leaving Kansas City in 1 week.   Stan also suprised me with a flight over the city at night.  It was awesome.  We went with a fellow from our church and flew from here to Topeka, had dinner and flew back.  It was awesome.  Stan even took control for awhile (at which point my stomach starting feeling quite "interesting").
