Little Bro Has Grademuwated!

Two weekends ago, we made the long and boring trek to Lubbock for my brothers graduation, so I thought I would share a few pics.

Little Bro


This one took a little setup (I sent him a text and said look here for me)


Doesn't he look happy to be out in the real world...


The night before we swung by his Fraternity Lodge after some Moe's Burritos!


And Abby got in a little hoop action


And then she got a little help from Uncle Steve


Even Emily was all smiles at the graduation


Then I have to share a little of Abs personality... taken a split second apart in our hotel room.



Then another of Ems, since Abs had more... Just chillaxin and waitin on some dinner!



Congrats on your Graduation, Hoss!

Happy Mothers Day

Just a quick Happy Mothers Day to my Mom and of course my lovely wife.

My Mom
(When she's not smiling for the camera)


and Mom (with camera smile)


Then of course my lovely wife (actually all my girls minus the dog)

In case your looking for gift ideas...

My birthday (Tax Day) is rapidly approaching and I thought I would give everyone some hints, I mean gift ideas. I'll be a little over 30...that's all I'm saying!

Blackrapid photo strap (cuz I use the hand grip and this mounts to the tripod nut)!


Of course, these are always good too! (Buy Red when you can)



Or these...



And of course after all those healthy drinks, this would come in handy (Buy Red when you can)


When used with one of these...



and you can never have too many of these...


Just in case I have some Sugar Daddy blog stalker that I don't know of... you can get me these.

Happy Birthday to my Lovely Wife!

Yes, I have a wedding on my wife's birthday... but I did ask before hand if she really wanted me booking on her birthday and she said as long as got a good gift! We celebrated a little early and went to Cantina Laredo (yummy) last night and then ate some Sprinkles Cupcakes (if you haven't tried the St. Patricks Day cupcake with Belgian chocolate and Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting, you only have two more days) for dessert. Here's a pic of my beautiful wife (although, she always turns the frown face when I point the camera) so I decided I will just post those and maybe then she will smile for a few!

A little texture play...

Sprinkles Cupcakes which also does Cupcakes for weddings!!!

A few weeks back

My wife gave me a kitchen pass on one of my free weekends to go hang out with the guys and do some fishing! We all grew up together and went to high school together, so it's a lot of fun to still hang out with them and relax. Although, they almost all still smoke and about choked Jason and I out of the cabin! Worth the stink and the cough for some fun time I guess. Oh, and I fell in the river once... ok twice but it was the same fall kinda.

Here's the cabin in Beavers Bend

Just a stump outside the cabin

A little slow shutter on the moving river

The cool reflection of the trees across the river

The valley from above the dam


Miguelito showing off his beverage of choice

Austin was sick all weekend

Chef Bart (cookie) on the grill

Just in case you don't catch fish... you gotta bring the turf

Although we caught plenty of surf too



My old roommate Jason, I told them we needed some river shots and they turned into Cabelas models... what can I say?

Justin sporting the page 9 wader pose

Justin and myself (pic from Jason) holding some rainbows

This one cracked me up, they wanted a serious and Justin held it about half a second

Take two on the serious pose

Here's the whole gang in front of the dam

Merry Christmas

Last year I gave you Mele Kalikimaka, but since I didn't have a X-Mas song to share this year, I bring you Abby Montana!




Abby made out on the Hannah Montana and Disney Princess stuff while I raked in the iTunes gift cards, a GPS so I don't get lost on the way to your wedding, a whole slew of new duck calls and a new DVD Printer to print all your discs! Abby and Emily got a swing set for their big gift from Santa and brother elf and dad elf helped put together all day Sunday. Anyways, Merry Christmas and enjoy the video of my little toots!

Give Thanks

It's Thanksgiving, while I am always thankful the Cowboys play every Thanksgiving, I thought I would share some more Thanks!

First of all, I am so Thankful for my two lovely little girls!

I'm Thankful I have a lovely wife that understands I live on this computer in my lap! Did I mention she hates her pictures, so I have to sneak them like this...

I'm Thankful for the best family ever, my Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister!


And of course, a big Thanks for great friends! Even more so, the ones below that fed us for weeks after Emily was born. I'll see if I can remember all the meals...
Stuffed Apples! Yummy

Meatloaf and Chicken Fettucine!

Chicken and some yummy hashbrown stuff!

Some chicken spaghetti that was deelish!

These two brought brownies and Ziti!

The only picture I could find of Alicia was in the background of another pic...

I'm so Thankful for my great Family and Friends and of course the Cowboys winning!
