So we're at a park with the boys. And this helicopter starts circling overhead - VERY LOW. We (Mary, mom, and I) were wondering what in the heck was going on with this helicopter?

A guy runs right by us, while we're on a pier on the lake, and unbeknowst to us, he's one of several suspects in a drug deal gone bad who is fleeing police! Then into the park (through the woods) come plain clothes and uniformed police officers on foot, some with dogs. Next, police cars came flying into the parking lots.

All of the suspects were apprehended. This was the scene outside of the park when we left. There were at least 15-20 police vehicles involved. You can see the suspects' red car in the ditch on the left side of the picture. We found out that they crashed, then fled through the woods into the park. THANKS MOM FOR AN EXCITING DAY AT THE PARK!

The boys on the pier.

We stayed after the drama, since the police said it was safe - probably a lot safer with dozens of officers surrounding the park!

Taylor, Kristin and the boys

Brody snacking at Granny's

CamBam eatin' too

This foot was one funny fake appendage - the boys just couldn't figure out how this foot was getting tossed around the room!

Cam afraid to touch it! Check out that look on his face.

Taylor kissing his beautiful chick!

Brody tranformed into an old lady...is this freaky or what?!

Mid-December and the boys were playing with a new water toy from Uncle Johnny in his backyard

Kickin' a ball around with Uncle Johnny

All of us on River Street in Downtown Savannah

No, our boys aren't that small. That's one big bench!

Cam helpin' Granny rake leaves

Brody rakin' like he's done this before!

Of course, they did a lot more playing than raking! They don't get to do this in Denver - with the 2 trees on the Front Range!

Granny getting in on the action

Brody and Jason playin' around

They had lots of fun!

We visited Uncle Jason, Aunt Melissa Cody, Courtney and Kylee in Jacksonville, FL. The boys had lots of fun jumping around on their trampoline.

Brody, Cam, Courtney and Kylee

We attended the girls' recital while we were there. Here's Brody, Kylee and Cam.

Cam making sure Melissa gets a great view of the dancing!

There's Kylee on the far right. Sooooo CUTE!

Penny and me...can you say "skittles"?!

The DJ announced one of Justin's ex-girlfriends was at the wedding to see him and Brody came walking out dressed in that freaky mask with the gray wig and a little girl's dress!

Brody sleeping at Granny's

We spent some time at Aunt Rebecca and Uncle David's with Maddy, Ethan and Adam. Here Maddy is playing with her Baby Playset that we got her for Christmas.

Pink Caddy? They liked it!

Cam couldn't sleep, so I put a movie in for him.

When I was a kid, we used to eat oatmeal cookies from Byrd Cookie Company, which was founded in Savannah in 1924. Granny thought it would be fun for the boys to see them making cookies and I had to get them some oatmeal cookies to try.

They were winners!

Brody playing around in the mall.

Another pink vehicle?

Granny treated them to these cars rides...more fun with Granny.

"Daddy, make sure you read the emergecy procedures."

He was serious!

Brody was doing the fun thing - checking out the Sky Mall magazine on the way home.
