Pioneer museum

Here is the last of the lost vacation pictures

It's hard to believe this is Nebraska, which I think of as very flat. Mountain! And uncovered wagon.

Man, they all loved that horse

Ice cream

This is in Nebraska at the pioneer museum. Ice cream faces!

Wyoming

More Wyoming! This is Jackson lake and a month out I can't believe this is a real place.

This is Casper mountain. The snow piles were Tessa's favorite part of the whole trip. I'm not sure what the pose is about.

There are never enough pictures of my dad holding my kids' hands. Never! UPDATE: Justin says this is, in fact, him. I like that too.

Wyoming

We found some more vacation pictures.

Old faithful

Casper Mountain

Nora is a kindergartner

It was Nora's first day of kindergarten this week. She was very proud. After a couple days it seemed less exciting, but we got that first day pride.

VBS

The four big kids went to vbs last week and sang for the church on Sunday. Well, 3 of them did. It's like where's Waldo.

Tessa reads

Tessa was reading a book to us and everyone wanted to listen.

Tessa’s smile

I took this picture to show how she'd damaged her front tooth, but I love it because it shows her gorgeous huge smile.

Exercise

Daddy was exercising and kids can do it too 

Strong max !

Chick fil a

Free chick fil a for  costumed cows

Tessa

This costume we got when she was 1. And those aren't her goggles. But Lucy's been giving her ballet lessons.

Bonus: Batman!

Potty book

I got Max a book of car pictures to make sitting on the potty less boring. He's a huge fan.

And he has company

Also, someone to read the names of 100 trucks

New potty user

Max ditched the diapers this week. He's doing ok with it, and he has some enthusiastic helpers.

This one cracks me up. He wants to go play and so does butterscotch.

New dress

Hanna Andersson had girls' dresses for $10 and I couldn't resist. This is such a good color for her.

And here's Lucy's. She lost a tooth in it! While camping with Cecelia!
