Happy 6th Birthday Riley

Riley's 1st birthday. I made him a frog cake. Thought this was a good picture of him tho.


2nd Birthday. Grandma made him a John Deere cake. Unfortunately, this was the best picture I could find. Anyone else have a good one of this year?


3rd Birthday.... Tractor tipping, anyone?

4th Birthday. Grandma made this Mickey Mouse cake.


5th Birthday. My friend Sarah made this Superman cake.

6th Birthday. Riley helped me decorate this train cake. He told me it was the best train cake.

Fly-in Breakfast trip

Grandpa attempting to take a picture of himself & Riley.

Flying above the clouds.

Pilot Riley. He sure was excited to get to sit in the front seat of the airplane. Even more so that he got a chance to fly the plane.

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?!
