Nebraska "The good life" Trip

We headed back to Nebraska June 4th for a baby shower I helped host for one of my bf's Kasey Hopwood. It was a great time. It will be one of my most favorite trips back to NE.

NACHO GRANDE-Sometimes I still think about how great they were.


Meighan, Me, Kasey, Emily, Laurie, Linsey & Kyla at Roja for the morning shower.



Kasey and Josh and another shower that night at their house in Omaha. We had a great time. Kasey made Laurie and I a cake for our 30th birthday's, a ridiculous cake with an old picture on it. I had so much fun just spending time with such great people.

When we were at Grandpa and Grandma's in Tekamah, the girls found a new love in push up popcicles, WHO WOULDN'T! They just loved sitting on that front step eating, watching Justin mow that yard =-)

When we got to Laurel we got to go to one of Grant's T-Ball games.
It was SO CUTE! He's a little stud.

My sister in law Sarah brought my little niece Sophia up to Laurel so she could play with her cousins. They had a great time, I was so happy I got to spend some time with her. She really liked Justin, it was pretty cute.

Lute took Mallory out on a horse back ride. She LOVES horses, so they had a great time. It was really neat to see her love that so much. Thanks Lute!

Grandpa Jim watching Mickey Mouse Club with 2 tired little girls =-)


When we got back to Tekamah Grandma Lou, Grandma Jo and I took the girls bowling, it was cute. I'm not sure how I feel about the pictures below =-) They loved the pole more than bowling. LOVE the kids Nebraska curls.

We went to the Cottonwood Winery Friday night, it was SO GOOD! If you live near Tekamah, get out there and enjoy that! We a glass of wine, it was great. I loved the Pelican Rouge FYI

Lou and the kids at the winery.

THEN my sneaky husband and sister in law had a surprise birthday get together for me! Ah it was great! They had my friend Amber & Tyler come to Tekamah, and my brother Jono and sister in law Sarah showed up too! It was perfect because I was missing my brother so bad! Tears were flowing. Thank you for everything Justin and Christine, I love you both more than you will ever know! So fun!

Christine & I.
LOVE YOU!

My brother Jono, (wife) Sarah, and Josh (Justin's brother)
It was so great to hang out with my brother again.
He is one of the best people in this world! Love you.
