Just a warning to those of you thinking of having kids, once you get to the three kids point, a date will be a minimum of $100.
$50 of that is just for the baby sitter.
The rest is just a meal and a movie.
It’s just depressing. So if we want date night once a week, that’s [...]
Being that today is my birthday, I had a wonderfully eloquent post planned about my 28 years on this earth. Instead I have to finish a huge project before 10 this morning and then go shoot a wedding until midnight.
So, all you get is some pictures of Cody in his hobo hat with a harmonica…which [...]
Yesterday we had a security system installed.
So my question is, how do you feel safer without scaring the crap out of your kids? Of course with kids, they ask a million questions during the install. What we settled on was “if you ever hear the alarm go off, immediately get under your beds and don’t [...]
My time these days is incredibly limited. Because of this I’m having to work extra hard to make time with the boys special.
Last night I put all the kids to bed about 9:30. After 15 minutes I woke Colton up and told him to put his swimsuit on. We went swimming at 10PM then headed [...]
This evening the neighbors and Colton decided to skateboard a little. I had almost as much fun taking pictures of them falling on their faces as they did falling on their faces. And I didn’t use the long zoom lens so I really was pretty close to having the boards hit me in the face [...]
Apparently all it takes to be a zombie in our house is pulling your shirt over your head and making zombie noises. All morning we’ve had zombies roaming the house, randomly attacking things.
After about 10 minutes of them trying to scramble up my office chair and clawing at me I said, “Go try to eat [...]
Last December I got to follow my Dad around at work for a day and take pictures. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. You can see some of my favorites below or view the rest of the set here.
I’m writing this on Father’s Day but honestly could write it any day. [...]
I’m sitting here at 12:30AM in the hospital. Becca is recovering nicely and hopefully we’re about to get a few hours of sleep before being discharged in the morning. In case you are wondering, I’ll be sleeping on a recliner made for a person half my height.
Having a surgery is always high stress for everyone [...]
It seems like every area of my life is causing growing pains right now.
The business is going through growing pains.
The church is going through growing pains.
The kids are going through growing pains.
Growing pains are a pain. But at least it’s all because of growth.
Sometimes I really enjoy Sunday afternoons.
On tap for today:
Playing with the boys.
Cooking hot dogs on the smoker.
Cleaning the office and hanging some photos on the wall.
Editing a few pictures I’m behind on.
Doing some billing (which I’m also behind on).
Doing a lot of dreaming about the future.
Resting.
Last week was kind of crazy and this week promises [...]
This morning, the kids decided they wanted to play. They also decided I was to be Grimlock, the Transformer pictured above. So basically I would stoop down, pretend I had short arms and was a 50-foot-tall robot dinosaur.
Your typical Saturday morning with three sons.
I was stomping through the house, growling and occasionally picking a boy [...]
I’m pretty sure everyone at my house is taking crazy pills.
First thing this morning I woke up and strolled in to the office. On my way in I noticed Colton in the game room playing Halo.
“Colton, are you allowed to play video games before school in the mornings?”
“No, but Mom said I don’t have to [...]
I very badly needed a relaxing weekend and this turned out to be a good one. A lot of relaxation. Cooked out on the new smoker. Bought a ton of stuff to fix up the back yard. Had my parents over.
A few pictures of the boys to remember the weekend.
Today Conner and I were driving to eat. He looked at me from the back seat.
“Dad, what happens to a car when someone is driving and gets arrested?”
“They call a tow truck to and the person who was arrested can pick it up later,” I answered.
We drove farther down the road, passing by lines of [...]
For my brother Cody, who insisted my blog needs 100% more Carl Weathers than it has now.
It’s an inside joke. Move along. Nothing to see here.
