On Tuesday, we hung around the house in the morning and Lily took her first nap at home with out her binky. Lucky for us, she had no problem giving it up and now the binky is gone forever!!!! Our baby is growing up! I then took her to Heather's and I got some work done at school. Matt and I were able to have lunch together also. That never happens!
On Wednesday, I did laundry and packed our bags for our Nebraska trip we were going to take. When Matt got home, we quickly loaded the car and headed for Lodgepole to see John, Laurie, Mav and Guire. We got there around 8:30 there time and the boys were still up anxiously waiting to play with Lily. It was so great to see them. They already had it planned that we were going to go eat with them at school.
On Thursday, Uncle Matt took the boys to school. They were a couple minutes late because they HAD to go coyote hunting. The hunters didn't get anything but they saw a couple. Matt, Lily, and I hung out at the ranch and visited with Laurie and then we were off to school to eat lunch. That was so neat to be able to eat with both of them and all of their friends. Their lunch experience is a lot different from my school because K-4 all ate at the same time and there was still room at the tables. ha ha! I wish we could have eaten with Mullen too.
When the boys got home we were able to enjoy the nice weather.
Polo was really good with Lily. I thought she would jump on her or lick her excessively, but she just followed her. It was cute.
Maguire is showing Lily how to dribble.
Now Maverick is showing her, with Polo not too far away.
Lily has never seen a baby calf and since Uncle John has SO MANY of them, we wanted to check them out. In their calving barn were calves that were only a few hours old. The mommas were not too thrilled to have us looking at their babies.

So, we decided to drive around with the other cows to see if we could get closer to some other calves. Polo was following us and then cow after cow started chasing her. It was quite humorous! We were all laughing so hard in the car. Polo did not know what to do. :)
During Polo's chase, she got stickers in her feet. So, Mav and Guire to the rescue!
The boys had wrestling practice on Thursday night so we took them. It was fun to see them work so hard. Lily stayed with Uncle John and Aunt Laurie.
Here is Mav practicing his moves. Way to go!!!!
Maguire practicing his moves!
Wrestling made it a late night for the boys and they were tired when we got home. We had to leave Friday morning, so the boys were already planning their hunting trip in the morning. They woke up about 7:00 and waited for Uncle Matt to get ready then they had about 30 minutes to hunt before making it to school. Again, they didn't get anything, but had fun doing it. We talked with Laurie and John and were then off again for the other side of Nebraska: Omaha!
The lake by Grand Island was full of snow geese. I thought it was gross and amazing. The state patrol was worried people would stop and cause a wreck so five patrol cars stopped on the side (silly I think). It cause a lot of the birds to fly. It was neat.
We went to Omaha to see family and friends. On Friday night, we dropped Lily off to play with Uncle Scott, Aunt Eliza, and the kids. We went to the Cheesecake Factory to eat with Kaycee and Sarah (girls I taught with, but then moved to Omaha) and Asia, Shelley, and Erin. It was great to see those girls. I miss them both so much. We need to get together more often. Our eating experience at Cheesecake Factory was terrible. Over 3 hours later, we were done. Ughhh. We got a few drinks and said our goodbyes.
Matt and I picked up Lily the next morning. She had tons of fun at the Ferzely house! Sydney and her are so cute together.
Caden was jamming out for us. Delanie was at a sleepover and then came home later.
Lily was lucky enough to get a foot massage by Caden and Delanie. Can you say, spoiled? ha ha! We then went out to eat at Chipotle. Matt and I love that place and GI doesn't have one. I discovered that Lily loves tomatoes. :) Then we went shopping for nothing in particular, but managed to get Lily a few things.
We went to Gigi's and waited for her to get back. Virgie watched Lily that night, but Lily was not too fun. Virgie said that she fell asleep about 15 minutes after we left. Sorry Gigi. Matt and I went to have supper together then met some other friends at a bar. We saw Hayley, Colby, Micaela, and Sara and her husband. We hadn't seen them forever.
Hayley, Cala, and I
Aww, how sweet!
On Sunday morning, we were headed to Lincoln for a baby shower. Jodi Genthe (I used to live with her) is expecting in April. So, I got to see Hayley and Cala again, along with Shannon, Beth, and Jodi. I miss those girls so much. Cala got engaged to Eric on Valentine's Day, so we get to celebrate another wedding in November. Congratulations you two!!!
