This is Mason playing catch with Brandon in the pool.

In pure defiance of his parents...or at least his mother.

AU Campus Beautification Day 2010. This photo makes me look like I was actually working.

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

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.

Sometimes he just likes to yell.

Mason helping dad carry the camera bag after the photo shoot.

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.

Jen made some great tacos this week.

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.

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.

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).

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

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

In the spotlight.

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.

A photo for the ages.

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.

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".

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yesterday I got my much anticipated LED lights in the mail from Hong Kong. Tonight I got to test them out with the camera and made my wife this special little treasure by light painting in the dark with the LED. No photoshop here this time.
