New Years Eve

The boys received hockey tickets from Santa to go watch the Evansville Icemen.

 This is Brody & Riley with Blizzard the Icemen's mascot.

 Riley, Brody & Eric watching the game. The boys enjoyed their free noisemakers.

 Riley all excited because the Icemen finally got a goal!

Brody is excited too!

Icemen didn't win the game, but the boys got to see a hockey game.

Christmas Program & New Kitties

Brody (in the blue shirt) singing "Jingle Bells" with his pre-kindergarten class.

Riley (in the suit) singing "The First Noel" with his 3rd grade class.

The boys with their new kitties. They wanted to skip the Christmas program last night to go pick them up. Unfortunately for them, they didn't get their wish. We picked the kitties up this morning. Thanks Erin!

Lynn family chowder

 Pete stirring the kettle while Randy, Ray & Eric watch.

 Proof there is a kettle behind the tin. 

Kettle of chowder. It sure was good soup!! 

Muddin'

The boys wanted to go riding this weekend. Riley got a lil muddy. Especially when we had to tow him through the creek. He & his four-wheeler had to have baths when we got back.

Brody....

has learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels. He's been riding without them for over a month now. He sure does love riding his bike!

Birthday Cake

I decided to make my own birthday cake this year. It is a big hockey puck with the Saint Louis Blues logo on it. -Eric

Michigan trip

Riley working on lowering the jack for the camper.

Brody threw a fit the first time we visited the beach. This is his second time at the beach and he decided he liked it.

All of us in front of the lighthouse at South Haven, MI. Some nice fisherman offered to take a picture for us.

A "pirate" boat we saw heading out into the lake.

 Riley, Brody & Eric with a sheep at St Joseph, MI. They have a public art display every year. This year it was Barnyard at the Beach. Brody really loved all the animals painted & decorated on the sidewalks. 

Riley, Audrey & Brody at the lighthouse in St Joseph, MI.

Eric's "blue moon" ice cream in a waffle cone from Kilwin's of St Joseph. I had the turtle cheesecake ice cream. Both were okay, but we'd try a different flavor next time..... if there is a next time. The ice cream was a tad expensive!

Chocolate truffles that I bought from The Chocolate Garden. I had another two-pack that Eric and I shared while camping. It was the Lago Rosso truffles. So far we've only tried the white chocolate. Honestly, it isn't too spectacular. For more pictures of our trip, visit my facebook page.
