Birthday / Father's Day Celebration

We had a great Father's Day / Mary's Birthday yesterday. Sorry you had to share it Mary, but I appreciated the breakfast in bed, and I hope you liked your birthday dinner. Mary gave me a great picture to put on my desk at work, thanks Christin for taking it. Now, if only we could get Anna to smile once in a while.

The Babies In Our Outfits


Some of you might remember that we dressed Jack in one of Christian's baby outfits. That is Christian on the left and Jack on the right. I think there is some good family resemblance there. Well we did the same with Anna when my Mom sent down one of my old dresses. We don't really look all that much alike in these baby shots but then again, I don't look much like my old baby picture anyway.

This is me


Anna was not really thrilled about his photo shoot. Couldn't really get her to smile but she makes a good serious baby model :)

Moab Bike Trip 2009

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures of the bike trip I went on at the end of May. We rode the White Rim Trail, the same ride as last year with the same group of guys from work and had a blast. I won't post a ton of pictures because they look a lot like last year's, but we had a great time, and this year no one broke their collarbone! Yaay.


Here's a picture of a little bike project I've been working on. I've started taking the bus to work, and the bus stop is about 1.5 miles away from our house. I got tired of walking to it, so decided to get an old clunker that I could ride to the stop and load on the sketchy bike racks that the busses have. I found this sweet old road bike from DI for $20, and have cleaned it up, stripped off the derailleurs, cables and junk and replaced the handlebars, pedals, crank. I also recovered the old black seat with some matching white vinyl , and painted the white parts on the fork and rear chainstay. Now I just need a new rear wheel with a fixed gear to complete, but so far she works great! I've spent around $65 so far, which isn't bad.

Goofy Kids




Jack typically wears a pajama shirt to bed, but he only wanted the shorts on and then proceeded to get his hat and boots. We'll have to work on his fashion sense at some point!
