Trip to NE

We just got home this week from another trip to Nebraska. We first stopped in Omaha to visit my friends and family. We stayed with Casie and Vernon and their daughter Sopia. Will and Sopie had so much fun playing. He was pushing her around in the stroller and playing in the dog kennel. We let our friends know that we would be there and they stopped by to see us. It was tons of fun! I also had the pleasure of babysitting my youngest neice Aleia. She is such a doll and loved hanging out with her cousins.

While we were in Omaha, we received some devestating news that Brad's grandfather, whom lived in Hastings, passed away. We then changed our plans slightly and made a stop for three days in Hastings. We loved visiting the entire family, however we wished they were under better circumstances. I finally had the chance to meet the rest of Brad's family, which was fun. Will and Ady had their first hotel room experience....one we do not wish to repeat any time soon! I think I got, maybe, three hours sleep a night....it was exhausting. Will didn't want to have anything to do with staying there and kept pointing to the door saying, "go, go." Ady was going through a growth spurt that week and was super fussy the entire time....

We didn't have the camera with us, so we took pictures of the kids in their costumes when we got home.

We then finally made it to Alliance and spent a whirlwind weekend. Will and Ady got to spend Halloween with grandma and papa Johnston. It was not the best time ever, but one we will remember....Ady slept through it and Will just wanted out of the stroller to run around. Ady got the cutest baby award from everyone and Will wasn't a far second!! We thought they were both the cutest!! I spent the weekend helping my parents run the Quiv Fortner Memorial Master's Tournament (my grandfather's memorial bowling tournament). Will loved being at the bowling alley and is really into bowling. It is one of his favorite words to say! He had the pleasure of having my cousin's little girl, Bethany, watch him while Brad and I helped out at the tournament. Ady spent her time with us down at the bowling alley. She had lots of "grandmas" to cuddle her!!! It was tiring, but great to see everyone!

We finally made it home and again Will played with all of his toys the minute we walked in the house! Both kids slept like rocks the night we got home and then took over four hour naps the next day! I think they were pooped as well!! We love going back to Nebraska, but we are always glad to be back in our own beds!!
