New Shirt

I saw this shirt at Kohl's while Christmas shopping and just had to get it. On the front, it looks like he's got his binoculars all ready to go. On the back, it looks like he's wearing a backpack.

Christmas

Riley helping Brody with the new airplane he got. Airplanes were the theme this year for Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa Lynn's house.
Riley showing Aunt Jennifer his new train track.

Brody opening his gifts at Great-Grandpa & Grandma's house with some assistance from Mom.
Of course, Christmas isn't complete without the story of Jesus' birth. Brody got to play baby Jesus again this year. Riley didn't want to be a shepherd this year. Sarah & Nathan were Mary & Joseph. Kyle, Blake & Katie were the Shepherds.

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope everyone has a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Black Friday

You thought Black Friday was for shopping, right? Well not when you have a little boy and his Grandpa that are itching to fly.

Riley has been ready to go flying for a while now. He just loves to take plane rides. Grandpa decided the weather was just right today.

Hmmmm, was it a bad take off? Or was it a bumpy ride? No, I think it was just Eric goofing off with the camera.

Just before sunset

Eric and Ray so serious in this picture.

Geocaching Flash Mob

Headed to Evansville today to do a little geocaching plus a flash mob event. This was a bring your own umbrella type of thing. The more zany, the better. So guess which umbrella Eric chose.


Yep, that's right. He's got the umbrella for our patio table. Several people snickered.... alright, they laughed quite loudly. He didn't win the "best umbrella" prize tho. :(

Eric & I with our umbrella. Mine was a borrowed Hannah Montana umbrella from a co-worker. I was going to make Eric use it, but I didn't want to lug around that huge patio umbrella.

Group photo of all the geocachers at the riverfront for our flash mob event. Gee, who is that with the huge umbrella in the back?!

Fall

Family picture taken at Red Hill State Park. We weren't the only ones with this idea today. There were 2 professional photographers taking pictures of families there as well.


Brody & Riley. This was the best picture I could get of them. Brody kept trying to come towards me.

Isn't Brody cute?!

Riley wanted to stop and see Alexis' new glasses today. Nolen & Brody

Cache Slash Fest 2009

This ultralight dropped off our coordinates. Probably too cold to be up there today, but they did it anyways.
Here is what was dropped. It was a big tootsie roll wrapped with the coordinates. Then it was wrapped in aluminum foil & held together with rubber bands.This is one of the geocaches. Eric thought it was pretty interesting.
Sarah moved before I got a picture of her on the railing. Eric & Sarah were looking for a geocache at this bridge.
Sarah & I eating our supper. She had to have hot chocolate. I wouldn't let her have coffee. Might turn her feet black :) We had a really good time. Too bad it was cold outside!! This was the last time for this event. The hosts sure do an awesome job tho!!
