The little guy was getting some hair in his face... So we went to get
a haircut... He did great!

Tucker's first. Football game!

Tonight, t man and I went to our first high school football game. T
man says "I like it. And our team is called the wild cats."

He thinks this would be a pretty cool school !

rainbow in the rear...

so i'm driving down the highway and I see the MOST amazing rainbow in my rear & side mirror.
What do I do? Of course I risk my life by driving at 70MPH down the highway trying to take a picture of it...

well.. I lived to tell about it... thank you for allowing me to live another day...

They rode the train... By themselves.

I took them for a bike ride at the park and they rode the train all by
themselves. Chloe did a good job taking care of her brother.

Helping her brother...

After she got off her carousel horse, she helped her brother down...
She's a good big sister.

Tucker is a runner!

I took the t-man to the track this Sunday to hang out. We saw some
pole-vaulters and then Ruck decided he was going to run around the
track.. Three laps later and some orange Gatorade he was done. I'm
tellin' ya, this kid is a runner!

School pictures are in!!

Tucker got his pictures today.

Fun at the Aquarium

Tuck and his class buddies had fun at the aquarium. here's some more photos. We had a total blast. It was a little hectic getting all the kids to where they wanted to go, but we had our moments.

i'd do it again in a second.

A picture for dad...

I get into my car this morning to find a nicely folded paper taped and
labled 'dad' ... And inside was a very nice picture by Tucker...
It's fun being a dad.

After volleyball today Chloe and I ran some errands and went to lunch
at CPK. One of her favorite restaurants.
Later we'll wash the cars and paint the garage.

with sat. Morning joggers. Tuck and Chloe both did a good job with "on
your left"

It's going to be a hot day...

Tucker's first day of kindergarden

Today was the day that tuck started kindergarden...

Struck by the light

I can now respond to the light the moment I see it. Of course, it is
even more beautiful than this picture suggests...

Yummy, crab!

Dinner at the crab shack

Tonight we have dinner at the crab shack

A day at the beach

We rested after a couple hours at the beach today. Family reunion in
Ventura ...

Tuck gets a haircut

I spent the afternoon with the t-man today running errands. One of the
things we did was get the little guy a haircut.

My first iPhone photo...

a favorite bowl... the war bowl

I've been waiting for a chance to purchase the 'war bowl'. ever since
I saw it, i was fascinated by it's beauty and it's creative genius.
It's created with a series of melted plastic toy soldiers. The one I
saw was originally in blue. I had wanted white. I'm glad I found
one...

I'm reminded of beauty, light and in a small way... it allows me to
honor those fallen, from time past that served their country, whomever
they are and wherever they may be.

If you're interested in one of these, they can be found at Thorsen Van Elton

The artists name is Dominic Wilcox

Designing T-shirts...

I spent some time on 'Threadless.com' yesterday learning about their community and their site. Turns out that *anyone* can submit ideas for t-shirts and the community votes on the ones they want made.

I (humbly) entered my own selection... see here:



  



I had fun doing this. It was great. As with all communities, there are the 'hard-core' people that always win... but it would be cool for a newbie like me to get a winning design. 'Hey, I did that'

He sets off on his own...

I remember the day when Chloe went on two-wheels on her own.
On saturday (May 24th, 2008), Tucker decided he wanted to ride his on
his own two wheels...

Way to go buddy!

sundae night...

we usually combine 'movie' night with 'sundaes' -- the kids love it...
particularly when it is super hot out. We had a series of really hot
nights lately. kids had a hard time going to sleep.

Lori was smart to get the little dishes... it makes the ice cream taste better.

She's 8... and is super funny

Every day I see more and more of Chloe's personality come to life.
She's now 8... which means that she hears more, says more... and is
becoming an independent spirit. She laughs when she wants to, she
shows her distain when she wants to.

I love this young lady she is becoming.

On this day in Los Gatos, it was HOT, and her cheeks were red. She had
been chasing her brother around the playground. She stopped and had a
conversation with mom as dad and Tucker threw the frisbee.

A special mother's day program

on this day, T-man sang a bunch of songs to the mothers. Each mom got
a special rose. We can't thank our mothers enough...
