Ahhhh! The Husker Game!

I was privileged to get 2 tickets to the Husker game today.  I brought my mom along and we had a great time.  The seats were AWESOME, the weather was BEAUTIFUL and WE WON!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Encounter With A Stick Bug

Last Saturday when Meighan and I got home from getting groceries, I stopped to see if we had any mail.  Tony had gotten it already but I noticed a stick bug on the mailbox!  I hurried to pull the car into the garage and get Tony and my camera so that Meighan could see a stick bug!  She was scared of it when it was moving but then when it was time to go back to the house, she wanted to stay out and watch it....  So, here are the pictures I got of it.

This is where it was when I first saw it -- in the shade.

Touchdown!

Just after Nebraska's first touchdown tonight!

GO HUSKERS!

Tying Shoes

Look what I found in Meighan's room tonight!  She worked on this after we got home tonight.  They are so perfect!  She suddenly had interest in learning to tie her shoes when she started school a few weeks ago.  She learns so fast!  I think they are even double tied because that's how we tie her shoes!

 

 

Pony Ride

During the summer there is a Farmer's Market not too far from us on Sundays.  Part of the time (early and later in the season due to the better temperatures) there is a guy that comes and sets up pony rides.  He wasn't there during the hotter weeks but he was there again today and we had time today sooooo.....  After lunch we told Meighan we were going to take her somewhere for a surprise.  We got to the market and started walking toward the ponies but she was looking at other things.  Finally, she saw the PONIES!  She said "I want to ride one!"  I told her "That's why we're here!"  So the owner put her on a pony and buckled her on (with an actual seat belt!) and put 2 other little girls on and off they went!

I think she liked this surprise!

 

 

 

 

 

At one point, the owner stopped the ride because

Meighan's pony "did his thing"

(I caught it in the act--see the previous picture).

 

...so he had to clean it up.

 

Then they were off again a couple more rounds.

We're Ready!

Go Big Red!
