Dinner with Fam

July 23, 2015 - This evening, we ate dinner at a BBQ to celebrate Sandy's 77th birthday!

FCM Conference 2015

May 5, 2015 - Wow, this is a long time coming...better a month late than never I suppose?

I scream!  No, I really almost do when it comes to ice cream!

This little mid-break snack was melting all over me.

Random.  Granted.

But it's not everyday that you see Bruce Wayne out for a drive.

There are always good times waiting in the lobby of the hotel during conferences.

This place has holds some great memories from over the past 7 years:

2010

2012

Chatting with friends and solving the world's problems.

Time for Dutch Blitz!  This card game is a bit of an annual tradition.

This has got to be the biggest game of Dutch Blitz I've ever played.  There were close to a dozen people (in teams.)  As if Dutch Blitz wasn't crazy enough.

Silver Dollar City

May 26, 2015 - Thank you very much to the Jones family for getting these photos while we were at the park!  I brought my camera, but not the SD card, so this visit was grossly undocumented on my part.

Welcome to Silver Dollar City

Almost feel bad for kicking a poor girl and an old guy out of the way so we could get this photograph.

Almost.

We three kings of Orient are...

Checking out Powder Keg before we get in line...

...and only the very brave few still got on the ride!  Oh, brave and also patient.  There was a 45 minute line.

I wish that my face before we blasted off at 50-something mph had been captured! :)  Let your imagination go wild. 

The guys.

Properly spaced and positioned so that none of us are touching.  And so that I look short.

The ladies on the other hand...

...didn't get the memo about the no contact thing. ;)

Baby-B-Q Shower!

April 18, 2015 - Time for another baby shower!  This time it's a Baby-B-Q for little Easton.

Now, to be honest, the majority of this post consists of photos of complete strangers that you've never met or never will meet.  But, hey, some of you find people really interesting, so I hope that you enjoy.

"Welcome Easton"

Cake and cupcakes

This chandelier over the bar is so cool

That chalk board design looks familiar

Everyone visiting - oh, and lemons

Time to eat, y'all!

I love my midwestern BBQ

My Uncle Joshua and Aunt Rebecca, the expectant parents

My cousin Charlie 

(who didn't bite my finger)

My cousin Isaiah...

..enamored with the balloons.

Sweet Sue

Kate

Richard and Becky

Chris and Bethany and Kate

and Keira

Talking with Richard about the upcoming 2,000,000,000th Bible being distributed by the Gideons

It took 93 years (1908-2001) to distribute their first billion and 14 years (2002-2015) for the second billion.

My grandmother...wait...why did I say that?  I never call her that.

This is "Grandma."

Formerly known as "ma-ma." ;)

Sweet baby Keira

Woa, she's "chunking" up!

Congratulations Josh and Rebecca!

We look forward to meeting Easton in the coming months!
