homaha.

in the middle of may we went to omaha for baby hendrix's birth.   renee & tom gave me pretty much one of the most absolutely amazing gifts ever, to be in the room when he was born!   baby hendrix will forever hold a special place in my heart.   and how could he not?!  he is just so handsome!

i have yet to completely work through all the birth pictures and not sure its my story to tell, and its quite a story!

big sister penny!

outside hanging out.   we didn't do too much the entire time which was exactly what we wanted to do.   stay home & love on that new baby.

gage is so sweet with him.   when he'd start to fuss gage would say, "shhh, shhh" or "mama's got ya, mama's got ya."  he's heard that a few time ;)

my baby:)

the sweetest ever!!!

right next to mom and dad's house there were fields with these awesome yellow flowers (weeds?).   they were calling for a pictures!

the boys would spin their arms round & round, pretending to be combines.  ha!

nebraska, trough my dirty windshield.

in the trees behind mom & dad's house.

logan waving to grandma in the window.

and the highlight of the boys' trip.  fishing with until tom.   they still talk about it daily and tell everyone about it.  

lane tells everyone, "i caught a fish this big!!" and does his hands about 2 feet apart.  

when lane is happy or feeling special, he clearly is lovey.   he was just happy to be fishing with his uncle tom.  

penny dressed in her best fishing attire.  

looove them.

lane wanted me to take pictures.  "i'll pose mom!"

photos with the yellow flowers round 2!

penny, so adorable!

my kids weren't into it.

the oldest & youngest grandchild.   5 years and 1 day apart!

happy happy!

celebrating lane turning 5!

gage and his bucket of "soggies."  ...froggies :)

the van egdoms and our trip overlapped by 8 hours.   totally a bummer to only see them for such a short time!!!

weston.  the happiest little guy!!

EIGHT grandchildren.   amazing!

logan was in happy overload with all those little babies.   i think she thinks she is completely confident on taking care of one on her own.   natural little mama.

grandpa BUILT bird houses for all the grandchildren to paint together.  what fun!! grandpa of the year award!
