Budding Geek

Ben was chosen to represent his school in the district math contest.


The grade 1's all competed in the Kalah division. Kalah is a strategy game played with marbles and a wooden board. I'm not sure what the rules are but I know I don't stand a chance playing against Ben.


Ben won all of his matches 2-0 and finished number 1 in the district.

White Crane, Sushi and Bullet

Big weekend. Sarah won third place in a local art contest for her drawing called "White Crane".


Then we went to Kemah to ride the rides and eat sushi.


Sarah, Chris and I went on the Kemah Boardwalk Bullet roller coaster.
Ben spent his time in jail and eating dipping dots.



Mama could not partake in the rides due to a neck injury.

When we got home we called Granny to wish her a happy birthday.

Gun Battle

The boys spent yesterday afternoon practicing their hand to hand combat skills. This along with hours of Call of Duty and Crysis and they will be ready to take on the world.





I warned Chris that this move won't work when we move up to real guns.

The Making of Mother's Day

It's that time of year again, time to make breakfast for Mama and roust her from bed hours earlier than a normal Sunday.

This is how it's done.

First you make the strawberries...


Then you whip the cream...


Then you make the pancakes from scratch...



sequester the dog...


Then you pour the coffee...


Plate the food...


Hire a videographer...


Take it to Mama in bed...


Give her home made gifts...


Including photo soap. Nothing says love like photo soap.


Kick the dog off the bed for eating Mama's pancakes...


Everyone climb in bed and eat with Mama...


Then Mama kicks everyone out and goes back to sleep.

Someone's Gotta Ride Bitch

Dan and I shot a rockin' wedding this weekend on lake Conroe.





We were invited to a great after party at a beach house. The bride did some rope swinging.



Dan and I took a few pictures, drank some margarettas and rode jet skis.


I can't believe that we get paid for this!
