Monster Jam 2007

Last Saturday we took the boys to Anaheim Stadium to the Monster Truck Jam.
The sights and sounds were overwhelming for Gavin. We would try to ask him a question and he wouldn't hear us... he was so focused on the trucks. We had pretty good seats, about 20 rows back, so it was really loud and you could feel the energy from these ridiculously large machines. There was also some motorcross freestyle and Rhino racing.

Michael, Ginny & Jack
Michael grew out his handlebar mustache for the occasion


Covering their ears when the trucks revved their engines.

Never a dull moment...

Gavin is always jumping off things... seeing just how high he can jump from



And Miles is trying to keep up with his brother. Here he is wearing Gavin's shoes and his pirate outfit.

Christmas in New York... last year

Okay... it has been a few weeks since Christmas but I thought I'd share some photos of our fun time in the East.

Christmas Eve dinner was fabulous... well, every meal was fabulous. Ann and Randy sure know how to entertain.


...hanging out with Papa...


The jacuzzi felt nice in the cold weather... it would have been more fun to be in if it was snowing though


Miles and Papa became buddies this trip


Gavin was born with all the rock star guitar moves... I'm serious, you should see him with this thing


We took a road trip to Philadelphia. Here we are at Independence Hall.

...and on a carriage ride around the city.


The highlight of the road trip was stopping at the Chocolate Factory in Hershey.


Gavin had way too much chocolate that day... can you tell?


We also went to Lancaster county to see the Amish lifestyle.
