First Tooth!






Tristan lost his first tooth!! He was excited then scared after it came out. About 9:30 last night he came running down telling us his tooth was very loose. After some checking we told him to relax and go back to bed it wasn't coming out tonight. Rather than going to bed he went to the mirror and wiggled his tooth until it came out. He came running down with great big excited eyes and a huge smile. Which turned to nervous excitement as there was still blood in his mouth which freaked him out a little. I'm sure the next three will happen soon as his front three teeth are quite loose also.

To the farm we go

Tristan and Colin had a couple days off of school and Greg had taken those days off os work so we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Schulz's farm. We had fun exploring the farm, riding the four wheeler, helping to harvest some beans and playing games. Greg really had fun with the four wheeler. The boys just had fun running around and just being boys. Enjoy a few pictures from the weekend.

Pizza and a movie

It has been awhile since we made our own pizza at home. It's been about three weeks since I have wanted to cook anything more than mac-n-cheese or reheating something in the oven. I've been worried that it would smell bad for potential buyers, but I wanted to cook with the boys tonight so I went for it. They had so much fun and really enjoyed their creations. And all is cleaned up and smells okay! Then we watched Race to Witch Mountain. I remember liking Escape to Witch Mountain when I was a kid. It's a bit different with the Rock and modern technology. Still pretty fun.

Back to School

Tristan and Colin were back to school today. Tristan is in second grade and Colin is in first grade this year. They have started at Crestridge Magnet School. It'll be closer to our house when we move. We are very excited about the new school it has an emphasis on foreign language and international studies. It's crazy the paths life takes you. Years ago Greg went to school at Crestridge for a few months in third grade. So now our children have attended schools that at one time or another their parents were students and teachers Kind of fun. I can't wait to hear about their day.

We have been very busy over the past month. Grandma Towey moved in with my parents, my Mom, the boys and I went to Colorado where we met up with Krista, her children and Papa. While in Denver we went to the Museum of Natural History and Science and the Botanical Gardens. Two great places. The museum was having an exhibit on Health. We were able to do many experiments. Tristan, Colin and Liam had so much fun. The next day we went on a Dino hunt at the garden. They had dinosaurs hidden among the plants. All three boys had fun searching for them. Krista's family arrived and we drove to Colorado Springs. We spent a day driving up to Pikes Peak while Krista was at a conference. All the children were able to climb the mountain which they loved. We had lunch in Old Town and finally found an ice cream shop.(we had been telling Tristan and Colin we'd go to one for three days) The second day we toured the breath taking Garden of the Gods. It is a truly beautiful place. We drove through the park and found a place the children could climb and play. Our next stop was Kearney, Nebraska where we toured the Gateway Bridge. It is also a neat place to see and again the children enjoyed every moment. Once back in Omaha we had fun playing with our cousins and visiting with the many family members who stopped by. We went to the zoo, a spray park, Krista put together art projects for the kids, and enjoyed a fun filled Fourth of July. We had such a good time with Krista's family. There are many pictures included in this entry, they give a glimpse of the fun we've been having!
