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...

Lots of birthdays around here recently. Nathan turned 5. Kayla turned 8. Amy turned thirty…….something. I can hardly believe my youngest is now FIVE. For some reason it seemed like he was three for a long time but it seemed like he was 4 for about three months. The time is flying by! Nathan recently learned how to tie his shoe and he couldn’t be more proud. He also started back to T-ball – this time here in Huffman...

Nathan really enjoys the music at church and as the photo below shows, he pays more attention than we realize. A couple of the guitar players in our church band (Randy and Micky) wear headphones and sometimes use a capo (I just had to look that up – it’s the clamp thingy that lets you easily change the pitch of the guitar). Anyway, sometimes Nathan will just disappear into another room and soon we’ll hear him strumming...

We celebrated the New Year with friends in Buffalo (Buffalo Texas, not NY). We had a ton of fun playing ping pong, pool, air hockey, video games, and shooting fireworks. We sat around a nice hot fire and had good conversation with friends. Good memories. While there, James, Tu and I walked down to James’ deer blind and just as we arrived, James saw some coyotes crossing the dirt road about 90 yards ahead of us. While he claims to...

Really impossible for me to choose a top 10 but this is what I came up with. I’m sure if I tried again tomorrow, it would probably be a much different list. In no particular order (click them for a larger version): _________________________________________________________ This is Jacob (the son of some of our friends) at a pool party. I was lucky to get this shot because I wasn’t even looking through the viewfinder. Good...

We had a fun Christmas day in the Cobbley house. As Amy said, it looked like Santa’s sleigh exploded in our living...

Man, I’ve been a blogging slacker again lately. We had snow in Houston for the second year in a row. It was coming down pretty hard for a while but never stuck to the streets. You’d think we were having a blizzard or something with the way this city starts shutting things down when the smallest amount of snow falls. Schools letting out early. A bunch of stuff canceled. Pretty funny for a guy that lived in Colorado for 9...
