I recently posted a photo of me throwing Nathan in the air and was asked if it was Photoshopped. It wasn’t, but the comment did give me a couple of ideas and the kids were more than happy to help out since it meant Kayla would get to shoot the photos while Nathan would get to fly.  Here are photos from back in 2007 (Nathan has always liked to do this), a couple of days ago and...

Last week I successfully put a huge hole in the water inlet on the kiddos slip and slide. So when Amy and the kids came home with a new one, Nathan wanted to try it out as soon as possible. And try it out he did! If I were to dive on that thing the way Nathan did, I’m pretty sure I’d be in the hospital right now with assorted broken ribs. He could not have been happier.

Mostly played in the lake (which nearly felt like the world’s largest hot tub) and I shot a ton of photos. James and I conspired to dump a bucket of water on the ladies and capture it in photos...

It’s been brutal hot here in Houston for the past couple of weeks. At least 95 every day with a  heat index well over 100 pretty much every day. Hot, muggy and nasty. The kind of heat that makes me want to move back to...
