Oma-HA.

Unless you have heard Jace utter the word 'Omaha', the title means nothing to you. He has some weird way of stressing the final syllable and it sounds really funny. He doesn't do it all the time but when he does it makes Mommy giggle. And then she asks him to repeat it over and over.

As you may have guessed by now, Omaha was the destination last weekend. A little zoo, a little sun, and a smidge of swimming paired with eating and relaxing was a great way to begin summer vacation.

This is becoming an all too familiar pose for this one. The worst part is that she no longer just sits there holding it. Now she rambles a bit and then says, 'ha ha', laughing and talking.



Ah yes. Mommy's child completely. Eating whipped cream. With a pen.
Listen. Sometimes you just gotta make due with what you have.



At the chocolate store. You see a pattern right?



That Jace is a funny guy. Just ask Keegan.



Loving on their cousin.



Donning the swim suits. Please no thigh comments.


Mommy must include a short replay of how the swimming began. Jace (who is becoming more and more comfortable in the water) headed right down the steps toward the approximately 3.5 foot shallow end. Too bad he thought there was an extra step. He ended up under water, arms and legs flailing every which way. So a fully clothed Mommy hauls a$$ to jump in after him and pull him to the side. The good news is Jace decided to take the manly way out and after a short stint of crying ended up playing the whole thing up and acted like he meant to do it. Definitely a male. The other good news is that Mommy got some practice in saving lives in the water. She is gonna need it with Bean.

Doesn't he look good in Coach. Mommy is raising him right.



Uncle Tom will be opening his practice next week. Jace and Lexa received a private tour of the place.



And Daddy received some treatment. It's great having Dr.s in the family. Even if they can't find their way around a zoo. Or take their child's overalls off during each diaper change because they had no idea there were buttons at the bottom.



Obligatory entrance picture.



How many grown Daddy's does it take to maneuver around the Omaha zoo??? Not sure but likely more than 2!



Taking a break. She insisted on walking probably 1/2 of it. That is a lot on those short little legs.



Lookin' Good!



Being silly with Aunt Erin.



Posing. Just like Mommy told him to.



Erin was giving out free piggy back rides. Unfortunately Mommy was not included. There are a lot of hills at that zoo!



Mommy getting her behind beat at air hockey. Speaking of behind.....what is that permanent attachment Mommy has back there??



Jacer enjoying a game of 'hit the monster on the head'. The best part is he never realized the game wasn't working. Talk about cost efficient! Mommy never had to use another token and he had a grand time! And of course he won every game.



Giving a shout out to all of Chuck E's friends.



And that concludes another installment of Jace and Lexa's life of fun!
