Yes, I have turned 40!  I know you are thinking, he doesn't look 40 at all but yes, it's true!  This picture is what my lovely mother and wife managed to put in the front yard.  Click on the picture to see a few pictures of what someone did to me at work.  Pictures of me as a little kid and as a senior in high school plastered all over the walls at work requires payback!

A friend sent a couple of these pictures the other day when the Shuttle was in town.  He had on base access!  The other three are when Natalie and I just happened to be driving by about two minutes before it left town.  We pulled over on the side of the road right about where the runway ends.  The three of it taking off were with my phone and I couldn't take pictures very fast!

Caden has been in Cub Scouts for a little bit now and they have done a lot of things for achievements and awards but the badges take a little more work.  This is a few pictures of Caden getting his Bobcat Badge at their Christmas Party.

We were in Arkansas on the 12th for a gym meet.  Click on the picture above to see more pics and see what Caden does at these meets.  Natalie's best events were the beam where she took third and the floor exersize where she took first.  This helped her get fourth overall and her group get first place in the tournament.

Caden was so excited when he got to spend money at the Santa Store at school.  he bought a few gifts for folks in the family and ran to his mother's class saying he had to have more money.  He was so excited because they had this jazz band that he had to have.  If you know Caden, you know he loves music and folks that perform.  For some reason Stephanie said she would have liked to have a picture of my face when he got them out of the box to show me what he was so excited about!

I thought this was interesting.  It would be nice for this to turn out to be as good a thing as these folks think.  What do you think?
