Fall 2010

Jackie, Grandma Johnson, and Mom Brown at Babe's Chicken in Dallas, TX...wonderful!!

Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Day...what an experience! The jumbotron in the new Texas stadium costs more then the construction of the old Texas stadium!! Nicest/largest arena ever been in!

Toronto, Jackie's Wrist, and Rob's 30th=Busy Summer!

Outside our hotel on Lake Ontario. You'd of thought we planned our outfits...!



CN Tower in downtown Toronto. The top has an entire area where the floor is all glass...gut check!
The hockey hall of fame and Lord Stanley's Cup! Notice Cullen's hand??

The excitement from our trip! Jackie broke her left ulna and radius, cracked her head, and got two black eye's all from a "friendly" squash match against her brother in law, Dan! For all the talk about about Nationalized health care in Canada, we couldn't have been more happy with the doctors, treatment, and service received.

The kickboard under Jackie's arm is from the hotel. The courts were outside the pool area and this was our best option at the time to support her arm!
Cullen at the Prestwick country club bar with mom and dad in MI before heading to Toronto.
Choo Choo!
Cullen at the bottom of the CN tower.
Cullen in our hotel room watching the boats and sea planes on Lake Ontario.

Ahh..Grandma..these Bluejays are kinda weird..

The O'Brien's post dinner drinks at Jack Astor's in Toronto.

Rob and Jackie at one of our great dinners in Toronto.


Cullen met a new friend before Toronto. Rob's life long family friend Nicole Ferguson brought Avalyn over to wake Cullen from his nap and go to the pool. Needless to say they were instant friends!

At aunt Debby and uncle Jeff's in Ann Arbor for Rob's 30th birthday and Debby and Jeff's 30th anniversary!

June 2010

Our 5th Anniversary at St. Elmo's Steak House in Indianapolis (Rob had a weekend
conference so the family joined him!).

Rob finally had an early enough hockey game that Cullen got to see his daddy score 2 goals!


It has been hot, hot, hot in Cincinnati this June!! Loving the hose and baby pool on our deck.



Cullen LOVES the "Wa-wa" at our club! They have a "splash pad" that Cullen never wants to leave. When we turn down the street to the club Cullen starts chanting "the wa-wa!"






This picture makes us think of Cullen replacing Tom Cruise in Risky Business!



In Waverly, OH for Rob's Aunt Linda and Uncle Mack's 50th Anniversary.



Of course I have my own pair of Wayfarers!


Pool side with Grandpa in Waverly, OH.



Dan and Kristen got to come back to Cincinnati again for a wedding!




Don't make me throw this water balloon at you!
