On The Move!

Look out world! Liv is on the move!

We spent last weekend at the lake with the family, and Livia is officially all over the place! She crawls at breakneck speed and is pulling herself up. She is even trying to stand up from her crawling position. It won't be long before she's cruising with help from furniture and then walking! She's growing up so fast!

Dog Days of Summer

Summer rolls on! With so many hot and humid days lately, we have been spending more time inside and running the AC day and night! Summer is such a tough time to try to keep Piper busy. It's no fun being outside playing with her, and it has gotten too hot and humid for me to run with her outside, but we make sure we get a walk in everyday! I'm still keeping up with my running, but I've been going to the gym instead of running outside. I'm not a huge fan of treadmills, but you can't beat running in air conditioning when it's hot out! Plus I've started lifting weights again, so hoping I keep getting myself into better shape!

This past weekend, the whole family was at the lake to celebrate my dad. It was a celebration of his birthday, Fathers Day, and his cancer remission. It was so much fun to have the whole family together...we were just missing Roz (but I think he hates us anyway). The weather wasn't the best, but we still had a great time! And I got in a lot of Livie time of course!

We have some fun weekends coming up in the next few weeks. This weekend kicks of the College World Series, which is always a great time for Omaha residents! Brent and I always make it to a couple of games, and we have friends who come in from out of town for the festivities. I'm sad it's the last year at Rosenblatt, but we will make the most of it!

Zara arrives for a visit on Monday! We are so excited to see her and spend time with her...she will be here for almost a whole month! We are planning to take her up the lake next weekend, and spend a lot of time with Brent's family. Kaitlyn, Preston, and Kamryn love Zara so much...when the four of them get together, it's like she never left...they don't miss a beat!

July should keep us busy as well! We will be at the lake for the weekend of the 4th, which is always a good time! Then we have the weddings of my cousin Leah and my friend Molly...unfortunately they are on the same day, at the same time, in different cities. So we will go to Leah's wedding in Griswold, then head to Des Moines for the middle/end of Molly's reception.

Baseball is going well for Brent. The Massena Red Sox are currently 5-1 on the season! Brent has pitched well and has been hitting well, as always. It helps that they have quite a few young guys who have been interested and shown a lot of promise this season! And it's always a good time to hang out with all the baseball guys...they are so much fun!!!

Hope everyone is staying cool and having a great summer!

The Many Faces of Livia

Here is a small sample of some pictures I took of Livie at the lake last week...I seriously took more than 50 pictures of her in a 30 minute period. :) These pictures just show you how many funny faces this kid makes! Hope you all enjoy the many faces of Livia!

Summer is here!

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, summer is officially here! I had to work Saturday through Monday of Memorial Day weekend (the joys of being a nurse!), so we were at the lake Thursday and Friday. I literally can't remember the last time we were at the lake for Memorial Day weekend and had such beautiful weather! It was in the upper 80s and sunny the whole time we were there...perfect! We are excited to spend as much time as we can at the lake this summer!
