Miranda and I finally decided on our annual vacation and we’ve decided to go to Colorado and the Colorado Springs area. You can view our map of places we’d like to go here. It is my hope that I can blog and post from the road (free interenet access and breakfast are a must with…

On a complete whim, Chris and Greg called and asked me if I wanted to go to Shrevport with them. I initially declined, but then thought that these types of moments slip by me all of the time, i.e. not participating. So we hoped in the car and took off. Hetty behind the wheel. By…

Jenson and Grace make me laugh. Jenson turns two on Thursday, and we had his party on Sunday. The food was good, but there’s two funny parts. The first funny part is when we all sing “Happy Birthday” to Jenson, he gets embarassed and hides his face, and tries to act like no one can…

I am making every attempt to give all of the dogs baths each week. We have fleas and every little bit helps. Needless to say, because Blue has very thick fur, she’s always the first one to get a bath. So I struggle to keep her next to me because she seems to hate the…

Caption to Photo: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) If I had to define validation, I would probably say it is the accomplishment of something that someone appreciates.

My cousin Tim and his fiance of a very long time (I think they’ve been seeing each other since Marilea’s wedding) finally got married. The ceremony was small and really nice. The food was excellent. In attendance was Uncle Charlie and two of his five, Charlie and Melissa, Gene and Ann, along with their son…

The inscription of names of those who died. The granite was originally in the Murrah Building. The reflection pool.

My parents and my wife and I went to Oklahoma City for the weekend for my cousin Tim’s wedding. More on the wedding later, but I knew that if we were going to go to Oklahoma City that we should really try and visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which is where the following took…

We celebrated Ashley T.’s birthday Kaufman-style with a fish fry and intended swimming. I say intended swimming because we all intended to swim, but the weather really didn’t cooperate. It was cloudy for most of the day. Never the less, we celebrated. There were the ingredients for a good time: beer, hot-tub and bikinis. All…

Posting from Picasa is so easy, in fact it’s really easier that posting from my Blogger account. The other nice thing is that it doesn’t take 5 minutes to download the photographs, which is really nice. Here’s Blue on a lazy Saturday. Olive itching. Zoey.
