A Day Out With Thomas

This train was one of the rides they had there for the kids. Colby was going to ride with Addison but the only adult cart was already taken so he tried to have Addison wait until the next one was available but she threw a fit so he decided to let her go by herself. We thought she would get scared once they drove away and she could not see us anymore but she didn't. She loved the ride and didn't care that Colby and I were no where to be seen.
The kids loved to go to each station they had at the day out with thomas. They didn't have much luck catching any fish.
I told Colby I want to get Addison one of these bouncers for her birthday. She loved jumping on it.

Addison is so brave. she is always suprising me with all the things she is willing to try.
Talon Enjoyed feeding the animals at the little petting zoo they had there.
Talon and Addison really liked the bunny. I think talon would have liked to take him home.
It took some time for the kids to want to touch the goats but with some convincing from colby they warmed up fast and really enjoyed them.

After a long morning of doing all of the activities they had we finally got to go on our ride with Thomas the tank engine.

Me, Addison and Jaxon on the Thomas train. Addison was tired by the time we even got on the train. Once we got going she did enjoy the ride

On Saturday we got to go to Connorsville,IN and ride on thomas the train. We had a lot of fun. And some very tired kids by the end of the day. That's just the way we like it.

Columbus Flood 2008

These are arial pics of Columbus and the surrounding area. This was the largest flood in Columbus since 1913. There was a nieborhood flooded just a few blocks from ours, but we were not affected. There was a lot of damage to the Cummins facilities. The tech center won't be back up and running for about a month.

Addison at the park

Addi likes to walk the trails at our park. It's really pretty in Columbus. This picture was taken at mill race park here in town

Every time we are outside Addi is looking for these So she can blow on it.

Addi is a sneaky little thing as well as a monkey. She is always climbing up onto the counter in my bathroom and getting into the lotion.

Talon wanted a mow hawk so that's what he got. I hope his Aunt Jen likes it.

Talon really only got to have his mow hawk over night then I made him shave it off.

Jaxon 3 weeks old

Jaxon is 3 weeks old already he wieghs 8 pounds 10 ounces and is 21 inches long

We didn't think his eyes would be as big as Addison and Talon's but maybe we were wrong.

Addison loves to kiss her baby brother but then she goes on her marry way . She's not into him all that much. wich helps me out a lot then I don't have to worry about her hurting him

Jaxon is the best baby. He only cries when he's hungry or needs a diaper change. The rest of the time he just hangs out and listens to his brother and sister scream. Or watches them run around the house.

Jaxon loves to snuggle up in his blanket Grandma Renee made him.
