A Real Post

Ok, no silly T-Bone vid here, just trying to catch up on sharing some photo albums. Lots of stuff has gone on this past couple months with the boys and family. Another post will come some time soon to share photos and vids of the boys. For now, here are some non-JAG photo albums. Enjoy!

Larissa's 1st Birthday [ photo album ]
My birthday is so wicked awesome that peeps are stealing my day. First my little sister Amanda stole my birthday (born 20 years after me to the day), then my mom got married on my birthday and then Larissa's decided to take the sacred day for her 1st birthday party celebration. We drove up to Oklahoma to share this fantabulous day with our niece. The night ended with Larissa demolishing her bit-sized cakes and rubbing it in her hair.


Mom's Baptizim [ photo album ]
Barely one month later and headed back up to Oklahoma. Mom felt moved to make her own decision in being baptized and accepting Christ as her Saviour! Woohoo!! It was a short weekend, left Saturday morning and drove back Sunday after lunch, but it was worth it.


Raiders vs. Texan [ photo album ]
Very few know this, but we are helpless Raider Nation citizens. We like pain. Like serious self-inflicting misery. Life was good for the Raider Nation up until 2002. Despite the jokes that end with a Raider punch-line, we will always support our team. We don't have to love every player, or coach, or owner...but we will always proudly support the Raiders. As evidence by our trip to Houston last week. Could have enjoyed the 3 day music festival in Austin know as ACL. It was capped off by my favorite band of all time, Pearl Jam...but no...instead I went to Houston to witness in person the horrible accident that has become the Raiders. And still, had a lot of fun with Holly, the boys, James and Morgan. Also got to me Edward...a chef at the cafeteria in James' building at work.


T-Bone's picks will be back though...think the next one will try to use a new method of making his NFL picks. Maybe use the SlingShot Flying Monkey next...

Okie Showers and Fishin'

Spent last weekend in Oklahoma visiting with my mommy and sister, Mari. The occasion was Mari's baby shower. Girl is HUGE! Hope she pops soon. Here she is with Holly...Holly is about 7 months behind Mari here. So the shower was okay...I just ate food and got suckered into taking pictures. Holly won the first 2 games, Baby Bingo and a raffle for bringing a bag of diapers. Heres the photo album for the shower.

On Sunday Roy took us back to our favorite fishing hole in Guthrie, OK. I snagged about 3 Croppie and big Catfish which gave me a great fight. Holly and Roy each reeled in another Croppie. At the end of the day, Roy was bringing in a baited line they leave anchored to land. I thought it was stuck on something, Roy was sure we landed something huge. We had to take the row boat out and trace the line...got right over where it was stuck. I'm 100% sure its stuck on a tree root or something. We both start pulling up on the line and SPLISH SPLASH!!! A giant carp comes flailing out at us, I'm pretty sure it's aiming for my jugular and looking for blood. We get it into the boat, which I thought was a bad idea, but we were able to get it on land. Sucker was...ah man, can't remember now but I'm sure it was 35 1/2 inches. Roy guessed about 30 lbs. and I'm sure he wasn't too far off. Heres the rest of our Oklahoma trip pictures and fishing.
