The Last Three Weeks

It has been three weeks since my last post.  In that time a lot has happened.  Jay Jay had his last week of school which included his first and last Spring Choir Concert.

"It's Alright"

With Mrs Worden.

The concert was excellent!  This is a very talented group.  The boys sang "It's Alright" accompanied by Mr. Austin.  It was awesome.  Pierce Tindall was the lead.  At the start of the concert they recognized all the seniors with their parents so we had a brief appearance on stage.

Next up was the commencement on Thursday evening at the Birch Run Expo Center.  This was a very exciting day.  The south side of the expo center was nearly filled to capacity.  Unfortunately we did not get any pictures of Michelle and I with Jay Jay at the end.

Michelle and her boys.

Jay Jay and I.

Grandma and Grandpa.

Really wish dad could of been here to see this.  Mom did not come out, would have been to much walking for her and hard to seat her at the center.

After this it was all about preparation for the graduation party.  It was non stop with painting and cleaning.  We put new mulch in the landscape and really cleaned up the yard.  The entire first floor of the house was painted as well as the garage.  The party was great with perfect weather.  The food was excellent and everyone had a great time.  We did not even think to get any pictures of the party.  The day after we just crashed.  After working so hard we just rested and slept in.  Michelle and I ended up taking Monday off of work to finish clean up and to start getting the house back in order.  There is still work to do.

Then this past Wednesday was Brendan's 4th Grade Graduation.  He was very excited.  They had a potluck picnic after that was very nice.


Brendan was recognized for working with Autistic classmates.  He does really well with other kids.  He has a really big heart.

Now we hope that things calm down so we can get back to normal.  The kittens have really grown and just full of energy.

Luna is huge!

So that gets us close to where we are now.  There will be more later when I have a chance to get some photos and post again.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
