Nebraska Visit

Our annual summer trip to Nebraska was a lot of fun, especially for the kids! From swimming in uncle Todd and aunt Eudora's pool to doing the same in uncle Steve and aunt Tara's, they were pretty worn out by the end of the trip! I only lasted one day. The Weller boys and their requests for "throws" did a job on my body!

Chapman Tornado-1 Year Anniversary

Here's how our town looks one year after the tornado. A lot has been done, but there's a lot still left to do. Sorry for the poor quality on the video. Google Video no longer allows you to upload videos. I'm not really sure why that is, but I had to settle for blogspot's video upload.

Mackenzie's T-Ball Debut

As you can see, she really got into her first hit, so it looks like she's going to be a "natural." The only bad thing was the Parks and Rec guys were pretty upset about the lights.

The new summer blockbuster superhero movie:

"Naked Batman With Woman's Sandals" (sorry that you can't see his mask, but this is the only PG picture of the bunch).

Pillow Fight!

Sometimes as a parent you know what you're doing is wrong, but it's just too good to pass up. It's kind of like the time when I rode in a dryer in college. Nothing good was going to come out of it, but I was having too much fun to care.

Such was also the case with this idea.

Because all of us are high school heroes in some way, shape or form, we attended our first ever adult prom thanks to some friends who set it up. There was even a prom king and queen (which was actually won by two guys...don't ask).

Out of respect to everyone else there, we won't post their photos without written consent. However, we don't care if we look stupid.



Me putting on Nichole's "corsage." Mackenzie is taking the pictures. Isn't that ironic! I think we should show these to Mackenie on her prom night. She would be so proud!


Nichole's dress was purchased from a $20 and under prom dress store in Grand Island. My jacket was my grandpa Weller's, and the bow tie was Nichole's grandpa's. Everything else (including the white women's dress pants) was a Goodwill special.


I went with the spiked hair look. Notice the backdrop in the background. Nice touch by the hosts!

Chapman Tornado Update-Day 275

Here's the latest video on the Chapman rebuilding process after the June 11 tornado. It's about six minutes long. By the way, I do plan on putting all of these videos together on one DVD when the schools are finished.
