1st Nebraska Game!!!

We took Ryan to his first ever Nebraska game last Saturday. It was the Spring Red/White game for the Huskers...a record crowd or 80,149 people! Ryan had a great time...enjoyed popcorn and dip'n'dots and time with his friend Izzy!

The FamThe wooly'oserus'!

Grandpa and Great-grandpa Smith

Two fabulous role models for Ryan...so thankful for the time he gets to spend with these God-following men!

Elvis has left the building!

Let me just say that the first time your little man or lady gets their hair cut it seems to grow them up like five years in just a few short minutes. It might be enough to make a mama get misty-eyed.

About a week ago I decided that it was time to get Ryan's hair "trimmed". Paul had nicely been suggesting this for quite some time but it takes longer for the mom to give in some times. So, we were out shopping at a cute little kids boutique and relaxing at The Mill and Emily's new shop is sandwiched right in between the two so I thought I'd stop in and say hi. When I asked her if she did little man cuts she had me come back in a few when she finished a color. He was totally flirting with the lady getting her color done...she took half the pics cuz he kept smiling at her! I must say she did a fantastic job...way better than I would do for sure!

No more Elvis sideburns for Ryan! OH Yeah...my hair is different too! I'm totally loving having a style...Emily cut it too.

Ride 'em, Cowboy!

Mid March we took a trip back to Broken Bow to see family. Ryan experienced quite a few firsts on the farm...see pictures below. First horse "ride", first time petting a kitty and a chicken, first with baby calves and fish, and the first time playing in the grass!
