Happy Birthday Andy!

Andy is twelve years old!
Andy is "Mr. Personality"
He was even trying to give us a SMOOCH in his newborn picture in the hospital!

Andy finds fun wherever he goes.

Andy can do AMAZING things!

He has earned his STAR rank in boy scouts already!


That's why we call him AMAZING Andy!


We love our Andy BOY!

Treasure Hunting with a GPS!


Geocaching - Has anyone tried it?


My brother introduced it to us a few years ago and we've been running around with a GPS ever since. Check this site out if you want to learn more: http://www.geocaching.com/

Abe and I like it because it takes us places we wouldn't otherwise find, AND the kids like it because of the cache (treasure)!

Once you find the "treasure",
then you get to make a trade: one of theirs for one yours.



The kids and I thought this "last one" would be
a quick stop and grab -
but Abe left out a few details:
mosquitoes, poison oak, and a 2 mile hike (in flip flops).
But everyone agreed it was worth it when we found the treasure!


Try it, you'll be hooked too!
