baby(ies) shower(s).

this past weekend renee and i threw a baby shower for dana and her twins! what a special season in her life to celebrate. these little babies are SO loved, it was even more evident by everyone who came to give dana hugs&blessings.

my little attempts at trying to be creative. it was actually a lot of fun!

omaha randoms:

he must really be telling aunt renee an interesting story.

always helping!

lane and grandpa played "high five, to the side, cut the pickle...tickle tickle." by the end, lane wouldn't even go near knowing that the tickling was coming. so fun!

since i'm near the end of my pregnancy, the dr said he wouldn't recommend flying but didn't say "no" completely. so what do i do?...fly with lane on my lap. thankfully he was GREAT on both flights and my water didn't break in air. i am SO thankful we were able to go to nebraska for dana, wouldn't miss it for anything. but...i have been ready to be home. it was really hard leaving everyone sunday knowing that next time i see them i'll be holding a new baby in my arms, that lane will be a big brother, that life is changing. being home means babytime, i guess the countdown is on?

hawaiin flashback.

while packing to go to dana's shower, i thought i should check the weather. -4 for a high!?! instead, i'm thinking of this...

carefree WARM days!

christmas continued.

christmas in kansas! we did it, we went to both nebraska and kansas for christmas. for a grand total of 35 hours of driving time! or over $300 in gas! but we wouldn't trade any of it, it's so important for lane to know both of his grandpa and grandma's homes, to know HIS family. we had a great time in kansas. this sounds so dorky of me but i always think that i'll catch up on my sleep while we are there b/c we are in a small town, on a farm, but nope, TOO MUCH FUN! too much of a good thing is a good thing...including family, veranika, the smell of vance's parents home, laughter, sweet tea, cousins, football on tv (ok, maybe not so much for me), checking cattle, open views, dirt roads, moving cattle, (great)grandpa praying, singing carols, pizza hut, staying up till 3am, singing happy birthday, basketball...shall i keep going?

christmas with all the reimers. always plan to wear a tshirt for opening gifts....waaarm in there!

checking cattle. lane LOVED it! 1. no car seat 2. cows come right up to the pick-up 3. grandpa let him honk the horn

vance said this little toddler cow was lane as a cow. totally true. serious but has a spunk about him.

the big 3-0!! and game day.

a daily occurance, helping grandma bake bread.

opening presents.

by the time lane had three or four different christmas gift openings, he was an old pro. this was his reaction after every gift.
