Some more pics

As the song goes, "He may look dumb but that is just a disguse, he is a furly dangerous man".

We wanted to watch the NFL today so we set Mady up in our bedroom with her V-tech (very low tech Playstation). Needless to say, she got comfortable quickly.


Hollween costume....She is a princess witch.

Holloween prep..

Good shot to blow up and print out.

AJ's handy work.

Left over summer pics and a holloween preview

Oct 20 update

I want to put a big shout out to my brother who turns 31 on Thursday Oct 22. I hope this works in lue of a birthday card (single income and all). Pretty soon you will be an old man and the very fact that walking around the office will hurt your foot...oh wait, that is me (Same injury as Eli Manning a couple weeks ago).

Sorry no new pics....Too lazy to get the camera. I have a cute on with Mady in an OSU jersey and a witches hat giving a scare pose...real cute.... you should see it.. oh ya...I am too lazy.

So, I am a month late

If you are wondering want this pic is, it is where my parents live. All the little black dots are where the big, tall wind farms are going next summer. For you city people, each white square is 1 mile by 1 mile.

See below for comments. The goofy guy is Chris, Eve and the little one is Greyson

Mady's birthday

We went to Chucky Cheeses for Mady's 3rd birthday. The pic quality is due to her new Mickey Mouse camera.

Nashville 3

We also went to about 6 civil war sites. The best tour that we EVER had was at the Carter House (Battle of Franklin). The guide was a preacher (2nd job) and looked like Steve Irwin (croc hunter). His 90 minute tour was awesome. This is also a must see. The building below has 206
bullet holes in it and it has the distiction of most bullet holes in a building that is still standing.





Here are the little statues in the Parthanen

See our excitement!!!!!

Actual trip was great. I would skip Mammoth Cave Historic tour and hit some of the caves outside the park. They actually have stalagtites and stalagmites and other cool things. However, there is plenty of stuff to do outside the cave (you could spend a week there...there is also a life size dinosaur exhibit right off the highway.

Also, if you want to blow a lot of money in a mall and never really buy anything, go the Opry Mills. The place is huge and has water massages, sort of bungy jump thing, Imax, a resturant surrounded by a huge aquarium with sharks, huge merry-go-round, a 50's diner, Bass Pro shop, and we only walked about 20% of it.

Nashville2

Nashville 2. We did go the Grand Old Opry. See Charlie Daniels, Dirk Bently, Rocky Mountain Express (Rocky Top). No pics of this however.

The other awsome thing we saw was the parthanon... No, we didn't discover a time/space portal and travel to Greece. For some reason, Nashville has a exact replica of the Parthanon from like 400BC (you know, before people in 1682 stored gunpowder in it and somehow it went blammo).

For scale, the little person that is being held in the hand is 6 foot tall. The photos do not do the statue justice (actually the photos make it look FREAKY). Actually it is very cool. Tons on detail on the statue, shield, snake, and they actually had replicas of all the little dudes that you see on the outside triangle of the building. Definate must see to appreciate.

Nashville Trip

So Kerry and I got rid of the kids and took a trip. Where....Mexico, Vegas??? nope Nashville.

Kerry at Andrew Jackson's home

Back of Andrew Jackson's house. (In case you are wondering, he wasn't home)...Don't know who he is.....study some American History


Abe Lincolns birthplace....really....ok, there is a log cabin in the monument but that is not really his actual home either. Wonder what is real here....got me. The new pennies are awesome.

Kerry thinks she sees a Dino footprint at the Falls of the Ohio. CRAZY!!!!
