Great Aunt Shirley is in town for a visit and we enjoyed the beautiful weather today at the Arboretum. Chloe was all about having her picture taken...Parker was not!

Chloe and Parker's Picture Taking
The kids obviously got a hold of the camera.
At least they aren't taking pictures of the floor or furniture, which is what I ususally find on the camera.
Lovin' the self portraits
Tried to get Beau in this one!

Pimped Out
Ray just got done making our golf cart the official Nebraska cart of the neighborhood. I think he's pretty proud. Now if he can just get the turn signals to work!
Cabo!
I was lucky to tag along with Ray to a work conference in Cabo San Lucas for a few days. His mom came to stay with the kids and I'm not sure who had more fun!
Cabo is absolutely amazing. The water is beautifully clear but more blue than that of Cancun. The rocks are treacherous though - I have a large cut on my foot to prove it! You could see really colorful fish swimming right up to the beach.
I went shopping with some other wives on Monday and we stopped at Senior Frog's for lunch.
This is the view from our 5th floor hotel room. Magnificent!
A new Beau
After many trial names and much debate, I think we settled on Beau as a name for our new cat. We call him Bo Bo for fun. I have been looking at cats since May but just hadn't found one that seemed perfect for our family. A foster the humane society in Frisco had this guy and as soon as I read her description, I knew he'd be perfect.
She said he loves kids and dogs and is used to a very busy household - she was right! Beau loves the kids and will let them pick him up and carry him all over the house. He's still a little cautious around the dogs but he's already shown that he's willing to stand up to them if they invade his space. The kids are thrilled to have a cat that will play with them!

Home Updates - June
Our newest piece of furniture: a bar cabinet. Ordered in January, received in MAY!
We just hung our curtains last weekend!
We had 4 more trees removed this week. One was taken from where I am standing and another was between the playset and the pergola, a.k.a the grilling patio.
View from the secret garden, where it's quite a bit more sunny!
The pond. We ordered a new pump, which is badly needed as you can see from the moss. Hope it gets here soon!
From the patio, looking out at the secret garden. We got rid of two willow trees, one on each side of the arbor. Everything will be much happier now, we just need stuff to grow as we can see neighbors now!
Our martin house is full of baby martins. The parents work so hard bringing fresh bugs to the babies all day long! You can see one baby out on the deck.
