Uncle Eric's possum cake for his birthday!
Wesley, Harrison, and Ben in September 2005 (our last visit to Monett)
We had a wonderful trip to Monett this past weekend. Ryan's oldest brother Eric (Rebecca, Wesley, and Harrison) live there. It only take us 7 hours by car to see them (this is a big improvement over the other places they have lived). One thing I can say about our trip, it was COLD!!! It snowed most of the time we were there, plus it was freezing!!!!! The little boys did a great job of playing inside together with the cars and train. The big boys did brave the cold to go on a goose hunt and a little fly fishing. The possum cake above was Eric's birthday cake. I thought it was pretty cool looking. Eric told Rebecca he wanted a red velvet possum cake and she found it. When we went to pick it up, we couldn't believe it. Rebecca and I had a great time catching up and visiting the little towns around Monett. We are looking forward to visiting them again, just not when it is that cold!!! By the way, snow is not impressive to me anymore. I am ready for the Texas heat. Bring on the 100 degree temps!

My goodness...the boys have grown up so much...Wesley and Ben look so different.

That cake is frighteningly realistic!
