The Sunday following prom, Jentry and her classmates snuck away to Johnson Lake for an overnight of fun, sun and memories made. They also got to skip a dreaded Monday of school.

Prom 2026
Jentry selected a hot pink dress for her Senior Prom and she could not have looked more beautiful. Her date was Lincoln Grantham from Giltner. The group of friends gathered at our house for pictures before boarding the limo for an unforgettable evening of fun.

Zoo Day
On a cool, breezy day in April, I got to join Tucker and his 2nd grade class at the Lincoln Zoo. I was charged with these two monkeys for the day.

Meet Jetta
On March 4th, Jentry was rear-ended in the school parking lot. No one was hurt and there appeared to be only minor damage to her back bumper and truck.
Unfortunately, the damage was more extensive and expensive to repair than the value of the vehicle so we had to say goodbye to the 2017 VW Passat (Polly) and start shopping for a new car.
Jentry and I did some online searching and found a few options in Omaha. We test drove four vehicles at three different dealerships. In the end we purchased our first pick at Woodhouse Bellevue.
Bob was easy to work with and was quick to call us back accepting our offer after we walked out of the dealership. ;)

Newsies
Jentry spent countless hours preparing for the school musical this year. She was responsible for all the choreography and it was a significant undertaking. Despite her stress and doubt the show was a huge success.
