Geocaching

We went Geocaching with our friends The Patton's today and it was a wonderful day! We looked for 7 cache's or as I call them treasures and found 6. Not to bad for a days work. If you don't know what Geocaching is, it is a fun game of hide and seek. People hide little boxes, film canisters, etc. and give you the coordinates you then plug them in to a GPS system and it takes you to the spot or right around the spot. Some have hints on how to find them others don't but it is still fun. If you have not tried it you have to. Sometimes the container is big enough to leave little trinkets in and when you leave a trinket you can take one, others are just big enough for a piece of paper where people leave there name and where they are from. If you want to try it out TJ and I will even lend you our GPS system so you can find a couple and see how you like it.
Go to www.geocaching.com and type in your zip code and look to see if you have any around you. They are all over the world. Next time we go out of town I want to pull up some and look for them while we are there.

Boy Meets Gravel......

TJ and Julian went to the driving range on Saturday and when they came back home Julian looked like this!






The first story I got was that Julian had gotten into a fight with a kid that hit him on the head with a golf club. Julian had said he won the fight by punching the kid in the stomach (not like Julian at all). My first question was "how old was the kid", Julian said "I don't know", so I questioned even more. "Was he older? Younger?" and Julian said "younger", I was just about to get on to him and then the real story came out! Leave it up to TJ to concoct a story like that....

The "Real" story....
Julian was in the back of TJ's truck waiting for TJ to get finished saying good-bye to his friend. When he was done he asked Julian to get out of the back of the truck so they could leave. When Julian got out he leaped out instead of just stepping over and slipped off the back bumper and went face first into the gravel. We are lucky nothing was broken, just a little scratched up.

Happy New Year 2009

Check out our firework display TJ and our friends put on for us, they set it up in the driveway next door to where we were. Way to go BOYS, it was awesome!!!!!

The Nguyen Family Christmas

We had a busy Christmas this year like we always do.... Christmas Eve we went to my Mom's and Grandparent's house, Christmas Day we went to TJ's Moms for a while and then we headed over to his Dad's house. A very Busy couple of days but well worth it, we got to spend time with everyone that was here in Texas.
