the last month or so.

The last month has been...

Weird.

!!!!!.

But, a few fun things have happened. Spence turned 15, the kids started school, I finished summer clinic (fun) and started fall clinic (not), jess got a new car (pic to come...sometime.), spence got braces, the boys have been basketballing/soccer-studding it up...and yeah. just keeping busy with the same kinda' things...

Birthday boy

lunch at the Chicken-shack

his "birthday lunch"

me. pretty much.

always encouraging!

the pretty-boy gone metal-head

the published evidence of Spence's mad skills

still my best thing

jess. planking after inspiration from The Office

Driving to the school one night, I was just noticing how nice Vegas can be sometimes.
Right...?

All together now class: "Sell-Out. !!!"

Something that actually brought a solid smile to my face in the clinic one night!

oh, and my new k9-nephew, Cooper! (I think I get to meet him within the next month or so, but via text pics, he's one of the cutest darn pups I've ever seen!)

I'm working my way out of a solid funk. I haven't been or felt tremendously well in a minute...but I'm working on it. I'll hopefully get some of my thoughtful/witty/creative juices flowing soon here...but until then, bare with me and these less than mediocre posts, please!

kthanks! :)

Still..

Saw this little gem at sea world and was inspired (http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/).
The pep talk: "okay guys, we've got to cheese the hell out of these pics, ok? OK!"
And I'm seriously pleased with the results. Best $30.00 I've spent in a while!

I'm going going, back back, to Cali Cali

It all started when...

I needed to get outta Vegas. The weekend I decided this needed to happen conveniently coincided with the same weekend Clayt&Jen were in Cali.

Celeste and I took the boys away for a few days, did Huntington, bowled, did sea world and ate well...



I forgot to consider how cold it gets at/near/around the beach, so I/we didn't have appropriate evening wear for the climate...
Therefore, we were forced to find an indoor activity Fri night...

BOWLING!
(which I haven't done in 10+ years....no lie)

I obviously didn't pack socks.
(hadn't planned on needing them)
Luckily, there was a sock vending machine at the bowling alley (swag) and Jen treated us to some real gems!

Form:
A+

C

A++
(most effective as well)


A


A+++
