Happy Boys


They are all growing SO fast! Jett loves to be tickled and laugh and swing not too high on the backyard swing. He's got an abundance of energy and still loves to learn everything he can.

Tucker is just plain cute, mischievous and loving. What a kid...!!

Dallas' personality is really coming out now with "All Boy" actions and trying to keep up with his brothers.

Sunday, everyone came over for dinner and we introduced "GeoCaching".

This is where you go to a web site called - www.geocaching.com and find any of over a million caches that are hidden all around the world. There are well over 10,000 caches hidden within only a few miles of our home and there just happened to be one hidden only .5 miles up the hill from us.
Using a GPS that you download the Cached GPS coordinates to, you just let it take you there and then the fun begins as you try to solve the puzzle or figure out just where they hid the treasure.
This one was at the base of a not so old cedar tree not terribly hard to find but certainly we had to do a lot of looking around in all the "obvious" places.
Of course it's always in the last place you look...
It was in an authentic "GeoCache" plastic container and it had the usual trinkets and sign-in tablet but a REAL treasure that we exchanged was a Compass for Jett. He picked right up on the idea of North/South/East/West...sort of, and later we charted a course out in the field across the street - south by southeast and he found in the tall grass the big critter hole. It was pretty cool.
