Apple Orchard

Martin's Hillside Orchard is our fave!

How about them Huskers?!

Lincoln is a HUGE football city. Our stadium is packed every Saturday with diehard fans. With that said, this season has been horrible. New coach, new staff and lots of growning pains. Regardless, I was excited to take Declan to his first Husker game. He loved the tunnel walk and the hot dog shooter the best. Even though it was hot and the sugar only got him so far, it was a day full of memories.

I also got the chance to join my friend Katie, our husbands and other friends at a different game. It was literally the most electric I had ever felt Memorial Stadium. I'll never forget the fan/player dance party after a big play. Here's a quick video from that day:

That moment when 90,000 sounds like 900,000.That moment when 90,000 sounds like 900,000.

Saying Goodbye

A few weeks ago, we went through a pretty horrendous time. My boss and mentor lost his battle with brain cancer. The morning of his funeral, sister went home. She's been with us since birth and these last 8 months have been wonderful. She's a blessing. We are settling in to our new normal again. Thank goodness time heals. 

Mahoney 2015

Mahoney is always a highlight! This year the Lovelace/Hustad/Miller family celebrated 30 years of camping together. It's been really neat to see the changes over the years (probably a total trip for the parents to see the changes as our little kids are the same age as their kids were when they first started). 

Our boys were PERFECT ages to soak in tons of activity. Lots of fishing with daddy:

Something possessed me and I took all 3 boys paddle boating. ;)

We even hit the tower as a family. ((shaky legs))

September Moments

Happy 7th!

Just like that, sweet boy turned 7. I love this picture so much. It encapsulates him:

We took Declan lunch which is just the bees knees to him. His crazy little friends had fun too!

That night, with some family and friends, we hit Defy Gravity! Declan's been begging for a Defy Gravity party. I think it's just because he wanted the shirt. Ha!

A little sibling "crawl off"...
