Tornadoes

We saw on the news a huge storm coming. It had already had 7-8 tornadoes in the 30 mile area toward us. It started to get cloudy and then it started to rain really hard. Then the sky got dark and VERY green. Then the tornado siren went off (means there was a tornado spotted near you). The closest tornado in our area was over 7 miles away, but that is pretty close. The videos color of the sky fades from green to blue, but the green you see is the real color. It was so green.

Fun day!

Dave got some free tickets from work to go to the air and space museum, so we went! The planes were cool, but my favorite part and Lizzy's too, were the inventions of Leonardo DaVinci! They had built his machines from his original plans and drawings. They were amazing! It was a really neat hands on exhibit. I knew the man was brilliant and had invented so many things, but to see them and use them was really something else.

We finished the museum early enough in the afternoon that we had time to go back to the zoo (courtesy of a year pass-totally worth the $40) and try to see some of the exhibits we'd missed before. The aquarium was incredible! They had a shark tunnel like they do at Sea World! They also had some live coral reefs! It was so amazing!

Another one of DaVinici's inventions. I think this one was an armored car.

Dave's grandpa was one of the head engineers for designing the C-47.

Omaha Zoo

We went to the Omaha zoo yesterday and it was so much fun! It is such a great zoo! We were there for over 4 hours and still hadn't seen everything. Here are some of the highlights.

Life in Omaha

We moved to Bellevue, Nebraska on Easter weekend. It's so good to be here So far we really like it! Moving here was a bit of a disaster, well, it could have been much worse. Thank goodness my parents came out to help us! I don't think we could have gotten everything done!

Lizzy loves it here. The other day we were driving to the store and she said, "I just love it here!" We asked what she liked so much about it.
She then said, "I like our new house. And I love it here because of the trees and it's so natureful." I love that. She's still loving it here and has a little friend that she plays with on occasion. It's so nice.

Dave is loving his new job! He really likes the work he's doing and the people he works with. His schedule is fantastic! He can work pretty much whenever he wants, just as long as he gets his 8 hours in daily. He usually goes into work by 7 and is home by 3:30 in the afternoon. It's perfect for us, because then we go out and enjoy the rest of the afternoon somewhere.

I'm doing well. Still pregnant. I had an appointment today and things are going well with the twins. They are growing and getting more squished everyday. I think they like to wrestle. Those kids are all over the place! Good thing I only have 8-10 weeks left.

I too am loving living here! The weather is great! And we are closer to both families. It's really nice. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post right now, I can't find the cord to the camera.

Baseball Game

On the 15Th we went to a Dodgers/Diamondbacks baseball game. The Angels play in Mesa which is 3 hours from our house so I didn't want to go up there. They also played in Tucson on a Wednesday and I didn't want to take work off to go. So we settled for the Dodgers. The Diamond Backs spring training stadium is about an hour from our house.
At the game I told Lizzy that I wanted the Dodgers to win because I was from California. She said, "well I'm from Arizona and I want the Diamond Backs to win."
