a few weeks back (man, i'm way behind!) the boys & i flew to omaha for a few days. i'm not sure who was more excited...lane or me. lane packed his suitcase for weeks, he packed everything from lotion to jello. for weeks he talked about driving his pickup and called papa neal daily to make sure it was charging or getting some 'juice.' i was excited to be home...with my mom and penny...and renee too:) ah, loved all our time there...so much fun and so many pictures.
first things first...lane HAD to drive his pickup.
at b&g's for some lunch. yum-o. the boys thought they were hot shots sitting at the counter. (thanks renee for taking some pictures of us!)
this is how lane wanted to take a pic...
girls cousin night at anna's house. SO fun to see britney in omaha and to talk with her about life at grace. oh, the memories!
i was surprised to walk in the kitchen to see that we had all left the babies. ha, they didn't seem to mind.
andrea sat down to eat so the babies (when will i stop referring to gage as a baby? when new little baby is here?!) thought they should too. anna, thank you for the awesome meal!!! you make a mean apple crisp!
playing at papa and grandma gwen's.
buddies.
met up with a dear old friend jessica for a donut date. so fun to be pregnant together, really, we are due within days of each other! and as in old friend...we've known each other for what, 17/18 years? wow!!
darling elle.
getting to work. washin the pick up!
while we were there i had my 29th birthday. it was so special to be home...my mom made my ultimate favorite and most requested meal, chicken noodle soup & dumplings. happy birthday to me:)

while we were there i had my 29th birthday. it was so special to be home...my mom made my ultimate favorite and most requested meal, chicken noodle soup & dumplings. happy birthday to me:)for my birthday my mom asked what i wanted to do, i said, "take the boys to scheels for a ferris wheel ride." ha, what!?! i'm so boring! i knew it would bring lots of smiles for the boys...which brings me lots of smiles. lane loved it...the whole he was screaming, LOUD, like the whole store could hear him:)
gage on the other hand only made it one loop before he got off.
i convinced aunt renee to give penny a taste of frosting. she's a ferry, she has a natural sweet tooth. welcome to the club penny:)
gage showing penny the ropes of an activity mat.
my little gagers. (he is looking SO much like vance to me these days. everyday he reminds me more and more of his daddy and when i look at vance i see so much gage.)
my crazy boys...and this was BEFORE any birthday cake.
bring on the sugar...
doing morning chores with grandma.
lane's other new love at their house...the 4 wheeler. he wanted to go on rides ALL THE TIME!...and so he did go on rides all the time!
more playing...
LOVE this picture. (might be my most favorite one of the week!)
precious penny, she has the best expressions!!
one big thing i wanted to do while there was go to the pumpkin patch. (here is 2008, 2008-2, 2009, 2010) this place holds lots of fun memories...the ferry girls & herrick girls circa 1990.
this year didn't disappoint. once again, SO MUCH FUN!!!
lane...
wasn't so sure...
about this pick-up. it had a skeleton driving it & smoke coming out of the engine. that night he woke up multiple times crying and mumbling something about smoke & engines. oh lane!
pony rides. $5 a kid...really!? i gotta stop having kids, outings aren't cheap!
the corn pit, quite possibly our most favorite part.
