Happy Birthday Mom!

It's hard to believe your finally 25!!

They shoot canoes...

...now I understand why. We went camping with our Church group this weekend and we brought the kids aboard. It was a little hot for camping, and the water was a little low for floating, and the current was a little non-existant, and Alec was a little less than chipper, but we still had a blast. Harold and Freida took some pictures that they graciously gave me so now you can see the beauty that is: The Buffalo River just outside of Yellville, Arkansas (infamous hometown of Justin Florio).

Story-Friend Album Pages

So I finished up the Story-Friend wedding album last night and today I took an actual nap since I was up so late. It was one of those weird disorienting naps that make you confused about what day it is and whether it’s morning or afternoon. Actually, that can be a little fun sometimes. Anyway, I can hear some drama from the kiddos in the next room so I’ll wrap this up. Click anywhere here to see the wedding album.

Cody

Just so you know, you can now go back to the old posts in case you want to. For awhile now you couldn’t go back and see stuff that was too long ago like this post but now you can. Yay.

Jenny and Adam

I've had the pleasure of meeting Jenny and Adam who are planning their wedding the smart way.....early. They are a terrific couple and I know their wedding will be a lot of fun! You will hear more about these two down the road...

Signs

Some of you may have noticed that I like signs. I think it's really funny to see signs out of their context and maybe in a totally different context or juxtapositioned by something else that changes the meaning. I know it's kind of silly but it cracks me up.

Exotic Animal Paradise

Last week we went to feed some water buffalo, elk, deer, donkeys, zebras, camels, ostriches, longhorns, bison, sebu, gazelle, emus, and other critters. If you get a chance to go, go soon…they are closing for good Oct 1…golf is more popular than fat lazy deer around here.

Mr. and Mrs.

Congratulations Casey and Marquita! Your wedding was very cool....even though it was a scortcher!

Tigerlilly

I think this is a tigerlilly...anyway, it's one of the cool flowers that we inherited without doing any of the work when we bought the house. The light was hitting this one just right this morning and I had to snap this shot.

Redheads

I took this shot the other day and I thought it was neat how the pump and little Nathan's hair are the same color. It's one of those shots that's not technically perfect but I keep going back to it and looking at it. Anyway, I thought I'd share it. It just needs a good caption....any ideas?

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday Pop! Love you a bunch! (Don't worry, I won’t tell anyone how old you are, they'll never figure it out!)

Love

My buddy Adam is going to be sad today, his sweetie-pie Jillian is out of town again. (They're both crazy, but good crazy).

Look at that hair

We saw the fireworks last night and had a great time and the kids really loved it. It's been a good week having Pam and Kari around. Today I shot a wedding at Chateu on the Lake with Preston and it was wonderful. Sunset wedding under the giant tent with the lake as a backdrop....what more could you want in the Ozarks? The other day we were in Branson at the outlet mall and Alec put a Buzz Lightyear toy phone in his pocket while we were in the store...I noticed at the gas station and I had a big talk about how we don't just take things and I was thinking, "Maybe he's understanding this..." and then after all that I noticed a bulge in his other pocket...the little criminal had stolen 2 phones, not just one. When we returned them and he said "sorry" in his softest voice he cried and didn't understand why the store people had "taken his toy". So I launched into a big speach about free trade and macroeconomics and how their is a butterfly effect from the act of stealing just one item that ends up hurting shareholders returns...so there really isn't such a thing as a free lunch. I'm pretty sure he understands now. What does he care, his Grandma bought him a Tommy shirt.

Watching Big Brother

Pam & Kari

My Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law are in town and they've brought some much needed house energy. We've hit a wall a few months ago as far as painting goes so it's nice to have some serious help.

Big Spider

The other day I took the kids hiking and we stumbled upon this guy. Actually I think I tripped over it...I'm not used to big spiders like that....Anyway, today was Krista and Preston's wedding but I'll talk about it tomorrow....I'm am completely wore out! 

Last Sunset

This is the last sunset Preston and Krista will see as single people. These guys are so cool, I can't even tell you. Preston reminds me a lot of my best friend in high school, Leon, and Krista reminds me of somebody but I haven't figured out who yet. But anyway, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's wedding and I'm sure the pictures are gonna be really special.

I work too hard

Sometimes I think I should have stayed at the flight kitchen making airline salads at 3:30 am. Look at what's become of me...
