We had a chance to visit my sister and her family in Frisco (just Frisco – not short for San Francisco) this past weekend. We had a good time catching up and the kids had a great time with their cousins. What did we do? I can pretty much sum up the weekend with two words – baseball and swimming. We swam for several hours when we...
For the past 3 summers we’ve been able to make a trip up to Lake Livingston for some fun. The kids fish with Grandpa and he lets them drive the boat. We jet ski and just have an all around good time. Kayla, who is afraid of every single bug on the planet has no problem going 65mph on a jet ski. And Mr. Timid Nathan always starts out...
This is my first post of the new year? What a slacker.
Nathan has moved over to third base this year and is making some incredible defensive plays. We are now 3 games into the season and he already has a pretty good highlight reel going. Just as I’d hoped, he seems to be coming out of his shell too. His best friend from school is on...
Every year Amy and I say we should go to the Wings Over Houston Airshow and every year… we don’t. I’m not a line person – can’t stand to wait in lines. Traffic drives me bonkers. This year we finally just decided to go. I was right about the lines and traffic – both bad. Really bad. Like sit in your car 2...
Kayla has had a loose tooth for weeks now but tonight it was finally loose enough that she let me pop it...
Read MoreNEHBC Band
I had the opportunity to shoot some photos of our church band this past Sun. morning in an effort to help convince some decision makers in the Denver area they are legit. If things fall right, the band will be headed to Denver next year to help plant a new church. Anyway, like 95% of churches, the lighting in our church pretty much stinks but I was able to get several shots I was happy with even at ISO 1600. Here are a few of my...
Read MoreThe Face of a 3 Year Old Boy
Not long ago, Nathan and I headed outside to play ball and ride bikes. Well, of course he crashed and bruised his forehead and scrapped his nose. He cried some but then said he was OK. We played some more and then went in for lunch. He had some grape soda, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and cantaloupe. So, in the course of about an hour, he went from perfectly clean to the picture below. Be sure to click it for a larger...
Read MoreHurricane Ike
We rode out hurricane Ike at Amy’s parents house in Liberty which ended up being in just about the worst spot inland. They don’t have any trees around their house so we thought it would be better than ours which has several trees around it. Anyway, it was rough but we’re all safe.
Read MoreA Little more Summer Fun
We had the chance to head up to Lake Livingston again and the weather was PERFECT! There was hardly anyone out on the water and we had a blast! The kiddos did a bunch of fishing and officially caught more fish in one day than I have caught in my entire life. Grandpa and grandma had about enough of baiting hooks when the day was over. We spent a bunch of time on the jet skis! Nathan took a short ride with me first but then didn’t...
Read More“Pikey” Hair
Every now and then we try to get Nathan to let us put some gel in his hair and “spike it.” His response is usually “I don’t like pikey hair” since he still has trouble with the “s” sound. Anyway, even though his hair is too long for it right now, I convinced him to surprise Amy when she came home with spiked hair and he agreed. I was able to get a couple of good shots that I edited in...
