Omaha Storm

4:30pm on Friday. Luckily, Rod had just gotten home. Siren's were blaring.



Standing on our deck looking southwest. You could hear a low rumbling which Rod told me is the sound of hail coming and being tossed around in the clouds.

This is the view to the northwest from our deck. We were watching that area of cloud on the right coming down. Winds got to 90 miles/hour.

The storm hit our house hard. We could hardly hear each other speak. We had water coming inside through the window frames and under the doors on the back of the house. We were without electricity for 14 hours. Little did we know until later, that the storm actually skipped over us and "really" hit the area's 6 minutes away from us. There were 3 deaths that we know of. Within half an hour the sun was shining. Whew....Crazy weather everywhere!!

Cute vacation video's

Alex loved Tony's b.d. gift from Uncle Phil. Within an hour we were all humming this song : }

We're at Senor Frog's on the boardwalk in Peurto Vallarta. The band was practicing for Friday evening and the boys loved it.

Tony absolutely loved the ocean and wanted to get closer and closer. No fear!

Playing on the plane.

We were so tired and had to wait 'cause our rooms weren't ready. Dad was not a happy camper!

Tony had had enough and conked out on Papa's shoulder as we waited on our rooms.

Time with the Boys

Out for a walk with the family

Tickle-Tickle Alex, the Ganni Getter is going to get you.
Waiting for Alex to finish with the Dentist. Tony warmed up nicely to me.
A quick grocery store stop with, of course, a Starbucks. Alex even gets one now ;) It's really a Tall Kids Chocolate 2% Milk with 1 Pump Chocolate & 1 Pump Vanilla in a straw cup without Ice~ Isn't that funny that he already has his own concoction.
Silly play~Tony tried and tried to get in with Alex.

More Singing With Noni

Tony loves singing, even if it is off tune and with no words =)

Singing with Noni

Alex was very happy to be outside inbetween potty breaks.

Having Fun in TX

I get to spend lots of time with Tony since Alex is getting potty trained by Amanda and he has to stick by her side all day.

He's really good at putting the ball or shapes into their correct spot.
Having fun playing on his musical table. He really likes to go between the table and the musical chair. Alex is exploring Noni's shoe collection. He had to try on every single shoe and walk around.
