Warhol Wife

We went out to take some fall family photos the other day. We'll post some when we get some worth posting. The boys are tough to coordinate with a timer or camera remote. Anyway, I took one of Katie that was interesting, and then fiddled around until I got this:


Hopefully we'll get some good shots of us all before the leaves leave.

Ambition

As I write this, about 9 hours have elapsed since my friend Brad (see link at left) started the LOTOJA-- the Logan to Jackson cycling race. Not only is it the longest single day race in North America, it's also one of the most grueling. It's got serious hills-- mountains really, it takes place at a high altitude, and did I mention it's really long? 206 miles. Well, here's kudos to you Brad. I came out to support you, but your group went up a closed road just a bit before I found you. Instead, I send on the wishes of this woman (blowing a kiss to you) and hope you have a speedy recovery after you finish in an hour or so.

Kids say the darndest things

So one day after learing the story of Shadrack Meshack and Abendago.....I have Avery in the tub and he is playing with his lego figures and I hear him calling them the funniest names....I ask him "Avery what are their names?" and he says "this is meshack this is moshack and this is to-bed-you-go. He is so funny. He is so so so into dinosaurs right now and we got some books from the library and he is like a sponge he can say the names of the dinosaurs that I can't even pronounce sometimes.

A couple weeks ago we were eating dinner and Everett was being fussy. I in a teasing tone leaned over the table and said "what is your problem kiddo" and he points his finget to Austin and says DAD. It was so funny.

Ballooning

The boys have a thing for balloons. They like them a lot. So we figured if a little ballon makes them happy, why not show them 'the big ones' as Avery would say. The Eden Balloon festival was this last weekend. We left at 5:30 thinking the boys would go back to sleep. Once the word balloon was mentioned though, they had no interest in going to sleep. Even Everett seemed to get it. They weren't disappointed.

Everett wanted to go for a ride

Avery was concerned they were going to come down on him. At times, I wondered about that too.

Small Medium Large

Austin wanted to go for the photography. He wasn't disappointed either.
He said the light beams in this photo are crepuscular rays.

This guy was being taken for a ride by the balloon. I think it was supposed to be the other way.










These of Everett are just too funny not to put on. The one is a teasing grumpy face he makes, it was taken right before he ran and tackled Avery (a game they play a lot). The other face is one that makes me laugh whenever I see it, I have no idea what the captions should read other than "hmmmm how can I get a ride in that balloon"
