Ryan's sister and her family recently made a trip back to Nebraska for a fun family weekend celebrating cousin Tyler's graduation. On Friday, May 24th we met up with them at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo. It was Kylie and cousin Noelle's first zoo experience.

That evening we all went to Ryan's aunt and uncle's house for a delicious steak and lobster mashed potatoes dinner. It was my 31st birthday, and since I am just one day younger than cousin Neil, we celebrated together with singing, cheesecake, and key lime pie!
I had a happy birthday visiting the zoo, getting to meet my newest niece, seeing our goddaughter, and spending lots of time with family. I am grateful for all the blessings of this past year, and look forward to what's ahead. The 30's are pretty great!
Oh, and a quick look back at what a difference a year makes...
Yay for hanging with Melissa and family! Glad you had a happy birthday - I agree, the 30s are the best yet. :)
