Summer in Nebraska

Here are a few pictures of things we've been up to this summer.


Jordan is taking swimming lessons and has made some big improvements.




Jordan lost one of his best friends - Michael - after his family moved to South Dakota.

It's been REALLY hot and humid the last few weeks, so on one of our hottest days of the year (100 degrees without the humidity, but near 115 when you added it in) we decided to go to the splash park near our house. The boys both had a ball.



Joseph and his trademark smile.

Jordan holding our first zucchini, which came out of our garden this last weekend.

Here's our garden. We've had quite a battle with the rabbits this year - hence the fence. But after putting down some special fertilizer that keeps them away, I think we won the fight.

The side effect of the fertilizer is that it's like steroids for the plants. So our zucchini plants got HUGE in the last week or so.
