Peyton is getting this walking thing down more and more each day. He has taken about 6-8 steps at the most, but he will soon be running just like his brother Porter. One of my favorite parts about this video is that Porter is running back and forth between us and jumping. What a goof ball!

MIdwest "Tornadic" Warnings
Rotating Tornadic Clouds
I bet you didn't know that "tornadic" is a word. We didn't either until the other day. The local weather man used it repeatedly while keeping us informed on the state of the crazy weather we were having. Every station had the news on reporting on the threat of more tornados. It was a pretty crazy day. When the area of city it which you live is thought to be in a real tornado threat really loud sirens (air rade like) sound telling you that you should stay inside and preferably in your basement or in a room most protected from the outside. The sirens were constantly sounding in our neighborhood for about 2 and half hours. Most of the time I was outside looking at the amazing clouds and taking a couple pictures/videos here and there. Erin and the boys spent quite a bit of time in the bathroom watching Toy Story II on the portable DVD player. At one point I too went inside because the news man was reporting that Down Town Omaha was in direct line with the next real threat. Since we live down town I thought it might be appropriate to go inside and hide in the bathroom. We were about 35 minutes away from the nearest tornado that actually touched down. We were about a 45 minute drive away from the tornado that went through the boy scout camp. Fortunately for us nothing happened too close to our home. I post a couple of the pictures I grabbed while I was outside. Their not the best, but our camera isn't the best either.

Seen and Heard
Heard- Porter, "Mom there's a tomato!" (Instead of tornado)
Seen- Peyton taking three steps and standing with no help. Hopefully we will have a video posted soon.
Heard- "Mom, the next baby will be a baby girl." (No, that is not an announcement just a prediction from Porter)
Seen and Heard- Peyton banging on the door of the inside of the bathroom and Porter running away. Porter had turned off the lights in the bathroom and shut the door with Peyton in there. Peyton was happy because the bathroom is his favorite room to sneak into.
Heard- Porter singing, "It's too late to apologize, it's too late!" (He's getting quite good at memorizing the lyrics to songs)
Seen- Peyton eating a rolley polley bug, a rock, and a piece of glass off the sidewalk (scary, I know).
Heard- Porter: "Peyton is a misfit" (he had just seen Rudolf the red nose reindeer)

Omaha Royals Game, then the emergency room
On Friday night we went to an Omaha Royals game with a group of friends. It was a double header so we were there a long time. It was fun though. Porter especially like the mascots: KC, Spike and the big peanut. We stayed until it was over and watched the fireworks after ward. Porter thought that they were too loud and continued to plug his ears even after they had finished. Peyton wasn't sure what to think of the fireworks. We think that he liked them when we were plugging his ears. We got home around 11:00 pm. It was a late night already for the kids. Peyton woke up around 1:45 and couldn't breathe very well. He had a bad wheezy cough, so we decided to take him to the emergency room. When we got there his cough had stopped and he could breathe again. The doctor said he had an upper respiratory infection. We went home exhausted and Porter was wide awake, so him and Lynn stayed up and then fell asleep to a movie. What a night!
Mom and Lisa's Trip to Omaha
We had a great time when Mom and Lisa were here. It was the very first time Lisa has come to visit me since I've been married. She finally made it after 5 years! Way to be Lisa. I won't hold it against her. They came because we bought Mom and Dad's old Honda Accord. We are very excited to have two cars now especially on Sundays when Lynn has to go to church two hours early. A day or so after they got here our Nissan started acting up and it turned out that we needed a new Knocker sensor. It's just ironic that it happened right after our new car got here. I think that the Lord was watching out for us there. While Lisa and Mom were her we went to the zoo, the children's museum twice, Elmwood Park, PF Changs, and the outlet malls. Too bad it was raining most of the time they were here because we would have loved to go to the sprinkler park too. Lynn was so nice to watch Micah and Porter and take them to the store while us girls went shopping. Porter and Micah got along pretty good, but at church during the closing song Porter decked Micah in the face with his fist. Micah was teasing Porter and Porter couldn't take it so he punched him. Both boys got in trouble and said they were sorry and were best buds after that. Hopefully Lisa will want to come and visit again. We are so glad they came!
