Family Vacation Part 2

We all went for a walk in the Glen Miller park. There some nice trails around through the woods.

Jason decided that pushing Eric in the stroller looked like fun.

Ryan leading Nathan up the "trail"

Nathan!!! Are you coming?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Jason was too tired to push Eric so Christopher had to step in for a bit.



This downhill part is pretty easy Grandma.



Grandpa will carry me now....I am so excited I can barely keep my eyes open.

The end of the trail and the end of anything resembling seriousness from any of this herd of boys.



Daddy??? I walked a long way, can you carry me now?



Jon, Linda, all the boys (except Eric) and I took a side path down by the river to skip rocks. Here Ryan has a serious throwing rock. Not sure that it skipped so well.





After a long day on the trail Ryan passed out for a much needed rest.

Eric in his usual position.

Family Vacation

Vacation with Jon, Linda and the boys...we all met somewhere in Ohio right on the Indiana border. Our hotel was actually in Ohio but just a few blocks away towards the city we crossed over into Indiana.

Here is Nathan, Ryan and Christopher playing some sort of boy thing. ;)





Ryan and Daddy reading books.

Uncle Sean will read books, maybe we should all join in.

Forget books, wrestling is so much more fun!!!!

Ryan and Jason were instant best friends.

more random

Somewhere there is a picture of me in an outfit not all that much unlike this one. I will see if I can drag it up.

Random Ryan and Eric

Ryan getting ready for soccer season...there will be more soccer soon.


What can I say? A proud dad with a kid that is just as cute as can be. ;)














If this doesn't make you smile you are no longer a human.



Little guy on big brother's skateboard.

Look at me I am so cooooool...

Why are both my boys so photogenic in places like the highchair??? In a normal setting where they should take good pictures, they don't.

Better Birthday Party Pictures from our personal family photographer...Bonny :)

Yay!!! Bonny had a bunch of pictures from Ryan's birthday party. Apparently we were so busy keeping the party going to we did not take too many pictures ourselves.

The bouncy house was the big hit of the day.




Trever showed up in a shirt and tie. But soon we all discovered his suit was a velcro front as he ripped off his suit and underneath was Spiderman!!!


Eric got lots of attention from his family too. :)


Look Mommy!! Motorcycle.


OOOOOHHHHHH CCCCCOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!! SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!


Batman was the "theme" for his party and here is the batman cake.




Preston Daniels and his chubby cheeks.


Colton says "Where's the cake?"

Ryan's Birthday

Well at least this year it wasn't as hot as last year!!!. Unforunately we didn't get too many pictures. It was a crazy and hectic day. Enjoy the pictures of the bouncy house and the water and sand table.




Colton got swallowed up in the bouncy house. The boys all thought it was pretty funny if we turned it off so it would collapse on them, then turn it back on and it would lift them right up.
