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...
Did I mention it’s been hot in the previous post? Goodness, there is no let up. Today it was 101 with a heat index that felt like a sauna. We went to James and Tiffany’s house to celebrate Kyles birthday today and had a blast. 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...

Keeping Cool
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...
Read MoreOn the way to the post office
So, on the way to the post office in Humble, we pass by a driving range. Today Nathan asked “how many people do you think is practihing.” I said that since it was in the middle of a hot day, I guessed 2. He couldn’t believe I picked such a low number and said “no way, them be more than 2!” I said “OK, how many do you think?” He thought for a minute and said… “3”. It was worth a...
Read MoreMemorial Day
We headed up to lake Livingston for the first time this year and enjoyed a day on the water. The weather was great and it wasn’t nearly as crowded as I had expected. I rode one of the two jet skis almost all day which I’m reminded of every time I get up to walk. Kayla rode with Amy or I quite a bit while Nathan needed some coaxing. Once I finally got him to ride with me and he was enjoying it, I asked him why he didn’t...
Read MoreWater’s Edge
I recently shot some couple/pregnancy photos for a friend of Amy. One of my favorite places to shoot is at the entrance to a neighborhood called Water’s Edge. Grass, fountains, columns, nice brickwork all in one spot. Very handy for local photographers. Before Amy’s friend arrived, I had a chance to shoot...

Well, at least he was honest about what he wanted.
Read MoreJellystone (again)
Back in March we went to Jellystone park again, but with some friends this time. It was too cold to go in the pool although it was open and there were kids in it. We tested the water and… uh uh. There were plenty of other things to keep us busy and I think all of the kids had a good time. We adults stayed up way too late just talking around a “charcoal only” fire (because of a burning ban at the...
