Uncle Royce visits the Fleitz Family

Royce came down from his new home in Hagerstown Maryland. He visited for the weekend and had a lot of fun playing with the kids. He took us all out for dinner at Outback Steakhouse as an unexpected treat.
We enjoyed playing in the snow. We got about 5 or 6 inches, and it was perfect for making a big snowman.
Jade got out in her new snow gear and enjoyed the snow.
Royce, Rhett, Preston, Jeff, and Jonas enjoyed the Monster Truck Jam. Jeff is a firefighter in St. Petersburg, Florida, who hopes to get a job with Roanoke City. None of us had been to a Monster Jam before, and none of us will probably be going very frequently. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of fun, and the kids loved it. The exhaust was not good though. I thought it was interesting how as a firefighter I put a lot of work into making sure that my fellow firefighters got diesel exhaust systems put in the stations for the exhaust, yet I paid to sit in the stands at this event and inhale all the exhaust. But I digress, the whole reason we went was for Preston to have fun, and we accomplished that.
The best thing about taking Preston to events like this, is that I have an excuse to go to events like this.

Visiting the Fleitz Family in Nashville

Back in January we made it down to Nashville to visit Grammy and Grampy Fleitz. We were able to celebrate a belated Christmas as well. We certainly do not make it down to Nashville as often as we would like, but we do our best.

Here, Preston is shown at a Model Railroad set inside one of the Mall's in the Nashville area. The model train set was extraordinary. Preston and Jade loved it, as well as Me and Grammpy.
