Omaha Safari, who knew?!

We enjoyed an outing to the Wildlife Safari Park. The idea is that you slowly drive your

car around this beautful area and there are native animals in large habitats. Jules got 

a little sick of sitting in the car but thankfully when she got bored she pulled out her new doll, Erika, that uncle Joe bought for her for giving up her cici!

Heading up to see Elk

Elk crossing

The elk got so close to the car, no worries about humans.

The family--look at that face!

Bison

We had a good time, missed out on some animals since it was sweltering that day. Most animals sought out shade making it hard to see. I guess they are smarter than us :)

A Tea Party

Julia is very lucky that she has a great family ( me included *tee hee). On a recent visit her wonderful Auntie Jaci and uncle Joe ( Jo-Jo) joined us for a tea party! A great time was had by all!

Lemon Tea and Cherry Cake

I call FASHION SHOW!

Jules' Gramps and Gram stopped to visit on their way through town. They gave her a lovely bag of fun stuff!

I asked her to try on the coat to see if it fit and she accessorized the look.

She kept asking, "Do you like my costume?" Costume comes out more like "cos-cumb"

The Noodles!

When you are young, rice can be tricky so I ordered noodles at Panda Express for Ms Julia

this last time we ventured out. I left her to see if she could figure it out. I thought about cutting the noodles up for her but we had way too much fun doing it this way...or rather she had fun doing it and I laughed while she did it!

The Twist

Several attempts to consume all that was on her fork

"heebbeb" or CHEEESE. 

After some instruction she got better at grabbing a few noodles and learned to bite what would fit into her mouth and let the rest fall. We will work on etiquette when it is not longer cute.

Jules 2.5

For Father's Day I took Julia to get her pictures taken. They turned out great!

Zoo and Fathers day!

My sister Jaci and her good friend Mindy came to town to visit us, so fun! Here are some photos from those adventures:

Ultrasound of Nugget

Julia has ever so graciously allowed me to post Nugget updates on her blog. I asked if she could share her blog with the baby and she said, "what's a blog?" So there ya have it! This shall become more of a family blog to keep all our family far and near up-to-date!
