Foreign Visitor

This was a visitor that stopped by to say hello this morning. For a full backround on this little guy click here. It is always nice to have visitors...

I love Lamp.

Okay, I admit... I have always wanted to start a post with a quote from Anchorman, and now I have. Now, on to the reason I am posting. It is time to unveil a sneak peak at mom and dad's little project that has kept them quite busy over the past 9 months.

They are finally going to have a house to call their own! Here are a couple of pics to get ya'll excited about coming down for your next visit!

Pontoons, I guess they can be cool.

Well, we knew it would happen someday.


My parents finally got their first pontoon boat today. It is kind of a rite of passage into retirement when you purchase one of these bad boys. A pontoon is all about relaxing, enjoying a cool beverage or two, listening to good music and taking as much time as possible to reach your destination. Unless of course your my dad. This pontoon has a little 250 HP Mercury outboard on the back and we were able to tip the speedo's at just over 42 m.p.h. Not too bad for a an old fart boat...





Anyway, this is the most relaxing comfortable boat I have ever ridden on. So, I hope this encourages all friends and family that read this blog to head on over for an evening cruise with some cool beverages and great music.

Ohio, Trevor and Chelsey

This Past weekend we were out in Alliance, OH for Trevor and Chelsey's wedding. Trevor is Jenn's cousin and we had a chance to visit Uncle Mic & Aunt Phil's beautiful lake house. We hung out with family and friends for the 4th of July so here are a couple of pictures of our home made fireworks show...It was a fantastic opportunity to see a large part of Jenn's extended family.

Mic Cain, Trevor's father, was the Officiant for the wedding and held a moving and emotional ceremony as he married his youngest child. They brought in a huge tent and held the ceremony and reception overlooking the lake. It took a lot of restraint not to grab my camera and shoot a couple of hundred pictures. The weather couldn't have been better and everything about the day seemed to fall into place. It really was a perfect day. Here are a couple of pictures of friends and family from the evening.. And I would alos like to say a special hello to Trevor's friends Aiden and Johanna who traveled all the way from New Zealand for the occasion. Click here for a quick slide show...

Washington DC

Everytime Jenn and I get a chance to visit our nations capitol we have fantastic time. Of course it doesn't hurt to family there. :-)

Here are a couple of pictures from our weekend. We went to the Mall to see the Cultural Festival. I As you can see, it was a great time to have a super unhealthy hotdog and take in the sights.

I hope my brother in law Dave appreciates the excellent use of condiments... lol.

This is a Jeepny and is a fantastic way to get around in the Phillippines. Jenn used to ride one of these all the time. I just think they look cool. :)
