Geocaching!!!

I'm hooked on geocaching. Basically, geocaching is treasure hunting with a handheld GPS. There are over 1,500,000 caches worldwide, with one in at least every country of the world. I started doing it as an opportunity to get outside and spend time with my family. It has now blossomed into a ministry tool as I've taken multiple kids from the youth group. A few weeks ago I took my high school guys RIOT group caching.
Gideon enjoys treasure hunting with me and so today we made a quick stop on the way home from an errand to grab one (while Kathee and Hope stayed in the car).
To date I've found 80 caches, but more are on the way!

Gideon Dancing

So I have had the song Slumber, by the band Needtobreath stuck in my head for two weeks, it seems. Gideon asked me to play this song five times in a row on Friday (not sure why it's stuck in my head). Here he's dancing to it. Had I been quicker I'd have gotten way better dancing footage. I suppose this is what I looked like when Mom played the Ricky Tanner record with The Wells Fargo Wagon- I couldn't help but dance. I love our boy!!!

Hope Springs Eternal

I took these pictures on Saturday before the Huskers played. I think she's pretty cute!

Gideon Goes Grocery Shopping

Yesterday Gideon said he was making a grocery list. Asking what was on the top of his list, he responded, "going to HyVee to get a small decaf coffee and a large iced latte." Wow, this can't be a good state of affairs?!
