All-American Picnic

Well, we made it back from Cincinnati in time for the guys to go kayaking on East Fork at the All-American Picnic.

On your mark. Get set. Go!!!!!!

The winners by a long shot were Randy and Eric.

10 year wedding anniversary

Since we've been married 10 years, Eric decided we ought to take a trip by ourselves for a few days. We went out to Cincinnati. We went to several stores and ate way too much food. Our first night there, we decided to hit this putt putt place. It was quite interesting. You worked your way up and then down the mountain. As you will see, it was complete with a water obstacle.

Here I am attempting to putt my ball down the narrow green. Unfortunately, my ball went in to the water. 

See my purple ball in the water?!

Thankfully, it kept floating down and towards the hole. Nope, didn't get a hole in one. :(

The next day, Eric decided we should check out Newport Aquarium. Here he is with an ugly looking fish. Don't ask me what it is!

Brody's Birthday

The birthday cake. 

The birthday boy with his cake. He made Mommy blow out the candles for him. I think he had a good time playing with his cousins & friends.

Cory's Recital

Here is a YouTube link from Cory's piano recital today.  He played by memory as his teacher knows Cory would rather play like that then read.  He had a few hiccups, but I think he did great.  Of course I am partial to him.  Ya'll enjoy....

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.
