Uncle Dick

My uncle Dick came in town on Suday from Phily!!!! He totally suprised everyone. Hes amazing. I saw him everyday he was here. Sunday we had dinner with him and my parents then on Monday he came over when I was at my Aunts house and then we had a party with him last night (tues) It was so good to see him. The last time I saw him was In September of 2002 after my uncle passed. So it was great to see him again. I have pictures on my camera but its sitting in my truck and I haven't uploaded them yet. Ill do that tomorrow. We are going to The Twin Cities on Saturday to stay with my BIL and to see a friend of mine at the mall. So that shall be a blast!!!

Sunday Adventures

On Sunday we went back to Edinburg, IL where we lived 4 years ago. Joe used to work in the oil fields there. It was a blast we visited our old neighbors Marvin and Alice and they are amzing Love them. Here are pics from the day.

The famous Route 66


We used to see this all the time we were in the middle of nowhere




My favorite mail box made out of the rail road crossing bars the X was missing though :(


This took up the entire road.


We finally reached the wells


Tank battery. Many a hours spent here.




A new well










One of the oldest bridges in Illinois. Goes over the Sangamon River












Coming up to Edinburg town of 1200 people

We had a great Sunday. It was beautiful down there. 80 degrees and perfect. Slight breeze. I hope you all had a great weekend as well.

Halloween Fun

We went to Wallaces with my mom and dad today and it was super fun. The boys had a blast. They had a haystack maze and a blow up slide for the kids. We got their early enough so the boys didn't have to wait to long in any line.

Heres the pics



















































Hope you enjoyed.
