Catching Up

I thought I should post some photos on this blog before getting too far behind. So here are some random pictures from the last 6 months (or is it 7? Maybe even 8)

Cancun: A Week In Pictures

This might be the biggest post in the history of this blog. We took over 600 pictures and I've tried to cull it down to the best.

Colton falls asleep on the flight to Houston.

My new nephew, Alex, a pretty good hockey player, turned 18 just two days earlier and he got to enjoy Mexico's lower drinking age. Before we left for the evening I had to wrestle him as a rite of passage. It ended in a draw, but he had the advantage. I expect a rematch in about 3 years. I may have messed up my right shoulder. It still hurts a little bit a week later.

Just Because

Cooper was sitting in this chair and demanded that I take his picture, so I got up and got the camera and took his picture

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing - Photo Books

He really played it up for the camera. Colton on the other hand was camera shy today. He didn't want me to take his picture.

Blogging At A Regular Pace

Strange things are afoot this evening in our household.

A Few More Photos For Good Measure

We went to the park tonight but the gate was locked, so we played in the backyard.

One thing of note: Cooper has started a songwriting career. His first song which we might call "The Potty Song", goes "I go poo-pee in the pot-tee. I go pee-pee in the pot-tee." That's pretty much it, but he'll sing those two lines over and over and over.

A Couple More Photos From The New Camera

Two photos from playtime in the backyard this evening. Gotta get my money's worth out of this camera.

An Evening In The Park

I go months without posting and then suddenly I post two days in a row. It's the new camera, I suppose. I want to put it to good use.

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing - Photo Books

Everytime we play at the park, Cooper wants me to get up on the playground equipment with him, because there are sharks on the ground that are out to get us; They can't get us if we're off the ground. It's funny to watch his imagination grow and run wild. It must be great to not have a care in the world like that.

With the brown jackets and their hoods up the boys kind of look like the Jawas from the movie Star Wars.
