Our Trip to Omaha!!
At the end of July we took a trip to Omaha, Nebraska. We decided to fly out there which made this the first time Luke flew on an airplane. The moments when he was asleep were the best. :)
Those moments, however, were few and far between. On the way out was the worst. We had a layover in Denver which made it even worse. He cried all the way from Denver to Omaha. His crankiness wasn't all his fault, though. We missed our flight on the way out. We knew that we were cutting it close getting to our flight. We thought we could still make it until we saw that they closed the ticket desk 45 minutes before departure. We were there 35 minutes before and they would NOT let us get our tickets. We were SO mad! They made us re-book, and the next available flight was 10 hours later! So instead of flying out in the morning like we planned, we had to fly out in the evening when Luke is typically his crankiest. We did NOT miss our flight on the way back and thankfully he was a lot more manageable.
The rest of the trip was a lot less dramatic. We got to see a lot of extended family on Gregg's side. His Mom is from Omaha, and her 4 sisters, brother, and Mom live there with their families. Susan is the only one who moved out to Utah! So it was awesome seeing all of them, and her sister Nancy was gracious enough to take us in for those 4 nights we were there :) While we were there we went to Collin and Judy's belated wedding reception/baby shower. They're expecting a baby boy mid-September and got some practice with Luke :) We also spent time on Mike and Robin's boat out on the Missouri River. Their pontoon was so fun! Luke did really well on the boat. We also had a fun dinner party at Nancy's one night. We filled the rest of our time up with shopping, eating, and spending time with the family! Here's some pics of the trip!

This is too funny! Ryan is with the other twins in the family and they look like triplets. Gregg feels like the odd one out compared to them.
