The Cooler


The Day After Thanksgiving, we went with the Josie Family to "The Cooler" to burn some of those Thanksgiving calories Ice skating.


Best Buddies!!!



Brooke and Summer helped Jack get the hang of it!


After a few falls he got a little steadier on his feet.


By the end of the Skate Session, Jacks behind was a little wet.




Connor, Craig & Alec












They're not too Cool to Skate!
The Girls---Brynn, LeAnn and Lisa.


After a few falls and minor bumps and bruises, we had a great time~not sure we burned all those tastey Thanksgiving calories, but it sure was fun trying!!!

Britt Ryan Cushman

WOW! 25 years has flown by.......I can remember these first few years like they were yesterday.....

You were such a sweet baby, I rocked you to sleep for every nap and at bedtime, the time was precious to me I knew it would go by way too fast!!

You really were as angelic as you looked!











Sorry No Kermit the Frog This Year!!









You had a Soccer ball at your feet before you could walk, Dad made sure of that!










A preview of what a handsome Groom you'd make!










What a beautiful day! Brittany was the perfect choice, our family wouldn't be the same without her, she brings a brightness to our family, that we didn't know was missing...now we can't imagine our family with out her.
Craig says Brittany is Ryan's Bling, bling.....she sparkles!!!


Raising you has been pure joy, the memories are bitter~sweet....we miss the sweet, blond little boy, but are so proud of the man you've become.
We couldn't have asked for a better 1st born.............You're a great example to your brothers and sisters.....you're Kind, respectful, great sense of humor, hard working, and dedicated son and husband!
We Love you Ryan!!!! Looking forward to what the next 25 years will bring!!
