The Great Pre-Easter Hike

Here are a few pics from our camping trip to Buescher State Park out near Smithville, TX with Kim's family over Easter weekend. These are the pics from our 3 to 4 mile family hike we went on. As you can see in one of them Michael was nice enough to let me carry him almost two miles back to camp while he took a nap. He's such a considerate boy to take his naps on time. :)

Along this hike I happened to see a nice sized gray bunny rabbit with it ears pointed straight up which Kim quickly dubbed "Bob the Bunny" which then in turn caused Lauren to insist that it actually must have been "Peter Cotton Tail." This then started a good spirited weekend long feud between Lauren and Michael on the legitimate name of the Easter bunny. (sigh) Michael still thinks the Easter bunny’s real name is Bob and he won’t be convinced otherwise. Thanks Honey!

Move over David Beckham, Soccer has a new Star!

Here's a couple of pics of Michael's Soccer game last week. I wish I could take some more pics but I am usually trying to coach, ref and snap pictures with my phone when I can remember. :)

Michael is second from the left, he and his team mates are lining up for kick off.


While everyone else is standing around that would be Michael in the red shirt streaking down the field to chase the ball.


Enjoy... I'll post some more from this weekends game if I get a chance.

Hello.... Mr. Wankel

Okay so Duce got me thinking that I really need to get more up here so that people know what's going on in my life. So my first pic and second blog entry for the day comes to you courtesy of my first ever sports car. It's a 2006 "Velocity Red" Mazda RX-8 that is pretty much fully loaded with exclusion of the GPS Navigation system which I thought looked super cheesy.

This car boasts a 232HP rotary engine or Wankel engine (named for it's inventor) which means this car has no pistons like a traditional engine. This thing is fast and will do 0 to 60 in 6 seconds flat I know because I've done it :) and I was only in second gear when I hit 60 in this six speed behemoth. Max speed supposedly tops out at about 154mph but I have only taken mine as high as 93mph.

Yeah, I like it!!!!!

This Duce's for You!!!!

No, I am not talking about poker although I realize the title makes it sound like I just laid down pocket 2's with two already turned up in a Texas Hold'em hand. But no!!!

Duce (AKA) Mother Duce (AKA) Brian Dusablon just called me a slacker via IM for not posting to the blog in a while and for not having a photo blog up to show off the family. So lets face it, yeah he's right I'm being a slacker! And although the photo blog takes more time to setup than the few free minutes I have right now I figured that at the very least I could make a post.

I promise, to try and make a post every week or couple of weeks going forward. (crosses fingers) I will also try and setup a photo blog to update you on how the family looks.

CYA's!
