Life Lately........

A couple of weeks ago now, we made a quick road trip to Colorado.  We were overdue for Lane's 3rd birthday.  While there we went to Boulder and Buffalo Bills grave.  The boys had fun running.  Here's some pictures.....  Lane collecting pine cones

Mr. Gage

This is what 13 weeks pregnant looks like!!!!!!!  Poor Celine,  looked for any bench to lay down.  But a big CONGRATULATIONS TO VANCE, CELINE AND THE BOYS.  The baby is due December 24th!! Our prayers are with you as you carry this precious baby and into your loving arms.

So funny...Lane going down the hill backward.  He was afraid he was going to fall.

Grandpa and Gage playing around.  (this is a typical grandpa Jim thing to do)

How many people does it take to clean Gage after a sucker??

Lane playing in the water....both feet off the ground running.   Such a boy

The quick birthday party. 

Love this little silly guy

THEN....last week Vance had to be in Omaha for meetings, so Celine and the boys came along.  Such a wonderful fun time to have family at home.  Here's grandpa and lane playing cars.

Slip & Slide  BURRRRRR

Celine and Lane---the water was so cold

Grandpa on his 4-wheeler.  a thanks to Vance and Tom for your help getting it running.

Lane LOVES his pick-up.  Learned from his daddy to keep it clean.

THE FLOOD!!!  It's the topic of conversation.  Amazing to see that much water and the force behind it.  My sister Nancy and Tom were in town this weekend so we walked over the bridge from Omaha to Iowa.  Unbelievable

Tom, Renee & baby Penny

I was on the bridge when I took this picture with flood water below me.  The new baseball stadium!!  In spite of humility, hot days, flooding, I still love Omaha.
