Happy First Birthday Jacob...

This is Jacob Friedrich, our nephew. It is his 1st birthday today. If we were to arm wrestle, Jacob would win. No, do not let his curvy smile fool you. He is buff.



A Rail Family Tradition. After cobbler game time.
We love to play games. It has gotten more difficult with toddlers, but we manage. (See how Andrew deftly maneuvers Sarah over his head while playing). Andrew, Tammy and Ez are playing 'Cashflow'. It is a $200 board game...no...educational game. It teaches those who play how to become independently wealthy. Good luck, guys.
One of the least smart things to do with a camera, is, when you must take a once in a lifetime shot (like blowing out the first birthday candle) to try a different setting on your camera to see if it will work better. The setting I chose made the people in the photo have to sit completely still in order not to blur.

They obviously blurred.

Could we blow out his first birthday candle again? No? I thought not.

On a side note, Sarah mastered a front rollover today. I was so proud. However, when I saw her cousins, Olivia and Gwendolyn, I can see where she got her dexterity from. These girls are amazing. Good genes.

The board game is part of the 'Rich Dad' Cult, which is not necessarily a bad thing:)

If you want one, let us know...Andrew loves it, and he bought a couple last Christmas season.

Andrew works at a place where he can buy it for $50 or $70 since they are part of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" coaching. Robert Kiosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" wrote the board game.

The game makes you think differently. You stop thinking like a consumer, but an investor. The object of the game is to 'get out of the rat race' which is relying on our paychecks to get us through, buying 'doodads' such as sunglasses and boats, etc. To get out of the rat race, you must bring more 'cashflow' in through investments, than is going out through expenses.

Anyway, we played it with Dad Bagley once. He destroyed us all, go figure.
