Mason is fascinated by the camera when it is set to self-timer. He has learned to push the button and then come stand in front of the camera. However he stands right in front of the lense causing the focus to be blurry sometimes.

We just threw this muffin mix away over the weekend. It was best used by 7/14/06. That means we at least bought it when we first moved to Virginia, but maybe as early as when we lived in Provo. It has managed to make it through our move to Chantilly and Herndon, the birth of Mason and Beckham and almost all the rest of my nieces and nephews, my jobs at FEA, Applebees and American University, Jen's jobs at Applebees, Cheesecake Factory, and the County Courthouse, 4 Christmas's's'es and....Janica's wedding whose birthday the mix expired on. I remembering going through my parent's cupboards and seeing some of the old spices that they had and have heard this is quite common to have expired stuff in your cupboards.

I'm getting pretty good at this photography thing...capturing everyday moments of our children's lives.

I really like this silhouette of Mason. As I changed the hue of the photo the clouds turned out nice.

2010-05-24T19:22:00.000-07:00

Mr. Skipper. I stopped by the industrial park over the weekend where they have a bunch of empty new buildings. I ended up stayin there for almost an hour while Mason entertained himself in the big empty parking lot. He would go around gathering rocks like the one in his right hand.

2010-05-23T18:34:00.000-07:00

Sometimes he just likes to yell.

2010-05-23T18:30:00.000-07:00

He gets a little crazy sometimes. Yesterday he just started putting jen's robe on his head and run around and then biff and repeat.

2010-05-23T18:28:00.000-07:00

Jen made some great tacos this week.

2010-05-23T18:16:00.000-07:00

Jen and I had our wedding reception here. It is a funky looking place designed by Michael Graves, that guy that has a line of kitchen tools at Target.

2010-05-23T13:56:00.000-07:00

This is one of our favorite places to eat at in Morgantown. They have great chicken fingers. I'm serious and the price is reasonable/cheap compared to similar places.

2010-05-23T12:19:00.000-07:00

This little delectable dessert was inspired by our friend Matt Ratto about making strawberry shortcake with Twinkies. This one includes a Twink (no not me), strawberry, banana, and vanilla ice cream, served on a steaming bed of sweet sugar rice (just kidding about the rice).

2010-05-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

Throw a fit equals throwing himself on the ground where ever he is. Here it was the concrete, today it was the church floor.

2010-05-21T20:41:00.000-07:00

I love it when Mason laughs. It makes being a parent more pleasant.

THe NOva GOt SOLd

Here she is in her last moments of life with us and the auto shop. Waiting for her $940 in repairs.

Instead we sold her for $400 bucks. Jen was sad for a little while, at least until she got the cold hard cash in her hands.

I was so happy my face it made my face explode.

2010-04-29T18:03:00.000-07:00

A photo for the ages.

2010-04-26T18:02:00.000-07:00

I smothered my own burritos this time and saved my self a dollar. I felt like I could eat this all day long plus I think I'm addicted to green onions.

2010-04-10T19:21:00.000-07:00

I was trying to come up with some photos that Jen and I could print out for Mason so he could start learning people's names that he was related to and came across this gem that I was considering for "papa duke".

2010-04-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

One more blog before the night is over. This beauty is entitled cyclops.

2010-04-09T22:07:00.000-07:00

Maybe I shouldn't be blogging at 1 am in the morning while jen is sleeping next to me on the couch. I'm sure she would tell me not to post this little gem that I came up with from her twilight stickers she got from one of "dem dare buks of hers". Time to go to sleep.

2010-04-09T22:02:00.000-07:00

If only Bella would have taken a bite out of a peach instead. She would have realized that "Life's a peach, and then you die". Jen and I were messing around some time ago when I took this picture.

2010-04-09T21:29:00.000-07:00

Takin' it easy. All you really need in life is a box, a tie and some sox.

We spent Easter weekend in Motown, West Virginia again with the Jones'. Often times they have a great view of the sunsets from the front porch.

2010-04-05T19:49:00.000-07:00

Mr. Squatter. I'm impressed with Mason's chunky little legs that he can just walk somewhere, stop, and squat down without ever touching the floor.

2010-04-05T19:39:00.000-07:00

At this point in the game it was tied 1-1 in Daddy Vs. Mason. Right after this part though Mommy cancelled the match.
