A Weekend in Pictures

This weekend was no longer then most, but it was packed to the brim with good times and memories. There seemed to be a camera around a lot and instead of writing I figure why not test the age old theory of a picture being worth a thousand words.

Lots more pictures from the weekend on […]

Emily’s Big Debut

Appearing in Cinderella playing the part of Toni the Mouse.

Easter Egg Fun

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad’s birthday and this photo always makes me smile because I know how much he loves a good nap in the great outdoors. This was taken on our trip to the Boundary Waters and there are more pictures here if curious.

I hope you have a great day today Dad and find some […]

Dylan’s First Dinner

A couple of nights ago Dylan declared that he wrote something on the calendar that I had to see. So I looked at it and saw “Dylan making dinner” written in his handwriting. Turns out he got the urge to make dinner and wanted to make it on his own with only help from me […]

The Importance of Family Time

Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows how important my family is to me. I can obtain success in every other part of my life, but being a dad will always be the single coolest thing in the world to me. If that ever changes, then something is wrong in my life and […]

Dead Trees No More

Dad came down today to drop some dead trees we had on our property. Youcan see them pointed out in the before shot below. You can’t tell that on the other side of the red canoe a hill that goes down a good 20-30 feet so they are big trees. Dad dropped them and cut […]

Crappy End to a Shitty Week

This week was not going very well so when I got the call tonight that my Grandmother had passed away it just sort of ended it on a golden shitty moment.
Those who know me well know that above every drop of success, every achievement, every bit of anything else that my family is the most […]

Matthew Ebel Inspired Robot Song

I got a sneak preview of a new song tonight from Matthew Ebel that I think is going to be a big hit with the kids. He hadn’t thought about it, but I can totally see kids driving their parents nuts singing this over and over in mini vans across the country.
Dylan and Emily liked […]

Busy Thursday Morning

It has been a crazy week around these parts. The kids are here and so is Laura. Makes it tough to keep telling the kids “daddy is working” but they are getting use to it.
Yesterday I was on a 4+ hour conference call so I shut the door to my office. It wasn’t suppose to […]

Bridge to Terabithia

Last night we watched the movie Bridge to Terabithia as a family. We ate cookie dough and piled onto the couch to watch it. I knew the kids wanted to see it which was the main reason I rented it.
But, as I watched the movie I quickly began to realize this was NOT the movie […]

Mile Long Check List

Between work and life I’ve got a check list a mile long. A lot of it is the last minute things that have to be taken care of when buying a new house. Lots of phone calls, connecting people and making decisions. Schedules are tight and things are back and forth at a rapid pace.
Add […]

Wedding Weekend

It was a great weekend away for the wedding. A bit stressful at time due to some un-organization, but nothing to get bent out of shape about. It was great all around.
I’ve still got probably 4 hours of post production on photos and uploading to do before I’m done, but I uploaded some tonight and […]

Productive Weekend Makes Me Feel Good

This weekend the sun was shining, the yard was crying for attention and the grill needed to be used! So of course we did it all. Very productive all around. I even recorded another One Guy’s Thoughts while the pork chops were grilling. Click below to watch it.

On top of that I went to [munk]’s […]

Unplugged Day

I said today would be “unplugged” but when I went to bed suddenly last night after feeling severaly off I left my computers on and they were sitting here. Fresh from a haircut for Dylan the kids are watching some TV so a blog post felt right. No checking e-mail, twitter or anything else though. […]
