In the shopping cart.

Luke has now made it to the big seat in the shopping cart.  His new nickname is "GrassHopper". 

New to us desk.

This weekend we found a good roll top desk. Ana needed more work space for tax season. Rachael has given her more clients and thus more papers to file.   

The Hunt

On Sunday and Monday joe and I went on a Nebraska doe hunt.  Very nice area with lots of public CRP river land.  The season opens up again sept 1st for more does. Well worth the five our drive. 

Wedding Time

Last sat was Joel and Samantha's wedding. Very nice and a good time seeing old friends.  Probably a wee bit  more expensive than ours ;).  

A rehearsal dinner

Tonight was Joel and Samantha's rehearsal dinner.  A bunch of people. I am the attached husband to Ana as she is a bridesmaid but I was able to make some new friends. 

A shelf and a gun

Last night Ana went to help Samantha with some wedding details and sanity and Luke and I completed a project of building a garage shelf.  Very nice to have  things a little more organized. 

Then tonight I sighted in the rifle at our new indoor 100yrd range. Very nice to be inside and to push a button and the target comes all the way back. Hopefully those Nebraska deer stand still long enough to get a shot off. 

An early anniversary dinner

Thanks to the Hutchisons we went out to eat Mexican for an early anniversary. Three years going on four. Luke even came to celebrate. Many more good years to come. Always fun to think about what and where we'll be in a few years. 

A birthday dinner

Last night Ana and I went to a very nice resturant. It was fondue at the Mona Lisa I had the wild game selection which had elk, duck, fish, and some other kinds. We had a good time and fun to et dressed up. Happy birthday babe. Love you. 

A Hike

We recently went on a hike with our new pack for Luke he is now just big enough to fit in it. I can already invision some longer hikes this summer 

A Few More Pics From Christmas

I

Luke's First Christmas

What a great season we had with Christmas. We went to allot of parties and connected with some new people. Now the new year is upon us. 

Coffee Choices

If Ana and I admitted we had a vice it would be coffee. I got up this morning early to study for finals and got our third choice out for making coffee.  There is actually a fourth choice not shown.  Each coffee maker does have a  taste to it. It's been my fuel lately. 

Getting Certs Done

It is coming to a close for this fall semester. It has been a big push to work, have family time and take five classes.  But it is rewarding to get two certs so far. There are many more to come and one big one next month.  The fatigue is all worth it.  

Christmas Tree Hunting.

This weekend we went on a deadly Christmas tree hunt.  We came out succsesful.  I'm not sure if Luke knew what was going on but he was entertained by all the colored lights.  However even if he isn't excited about Christmas at least his parents are excited for him.   

Cool Luke.

Today after church we had lunch with Aaron and Bobbie Joe and Luke was the star of lunch.  

A perfect helper.

Yesterday on the job sight I had a little helper from the homeowners. He loved the ladder.  

Wortham at the park

Yesterday we went to Denver and meet up with the Wortham family.  It was fun to catch up and see each other's family.  Aaron is in full time computar programming school. Fun day. 

A Hike to Devils Head

Today Ana, Luke and I went west of castle rock and hiked to the last fire look out that is maned in CO it was one of the coolest hikes we have been on. Luke did great all the way up, with a few milk breaks of coarse. It topped out at 9700ft

An evening hike.

After a nice long day of work we ended it with a hike on the trails next to our place so so nice to live next to a preserve.  I have a beautiful son and wife. Am blessed 

Luke graduating to the Bumbo.

Early this morning we put Luke into the Bumbo for the first time  He did very good. What a little man we have.
