In the last three or four years our family has been getting together to celebrate my dad’s birthday.  He is the one in the middle in the black, orange and yellow shirt.  This year there were 15 people that met up at the Golden Corral in Midwest City, Oklahoma.  We had a good time an [...]

The last few months I have been posting about selling the house.  Today, July 30, 2010 we closed on the sale of our house.  This photo was taken at 9:00 AM this morning, just two hours before turning the keys over to the new owner.  This was our first real home and a bit sad [...]

I took this video at the city park in Mustang, Oklahoma last night.  This is not a professional fireworks show but rather just a park where people go to set off their own fireworks.  Most of the Oklahoma City metro area has laws against setting off fireworks.  This is unfortunate because our kids do not [...]

Last week there was an air show at Tinker AFB.  The days prior to the show had the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds practicing in the area.  I took this photo from my front yard as the Thunderbirds were practicing overhead.  As enjoyable as it was to watch, it was very humid making it very uncomfortable [...]

  Today, June 24th, 2010 we put the house up for sale.  Actually we did on June 21st but the sign was placed in the yard today.  We have worked for a long time to get it ready to sell so we can move to another place.  This is a mixed feeling moment since we [...]

Yesterday was a big day and a big milestone for my 19 year old son Kevin.  He graduated High School in front of his family and his class.  I know I speak for the whole family in how proud we are of him for reaching this goal in life.  We wish him the best and [...]

I just want to wish everyone a happy New Year as the clock strikes midnight.

I had a blog post typed up and was within a sentence or two of being ready to post when I decided to click “YES” on a request to reboot to complete a security update installation.  Wow!  That was not very smart because just as you probably guessed, the post was lost.  This should be [...]

Wow!  We often complain about never having snow here in Oklahoma City.  Most of the time if we do have winter weather, it ends up being sleet or freezing rain.  Yesterday it was a nice 65 degrees and we were really enjoying it.  This morning I woke up at 6:00 AM and it was raining.  [...]

This is a day that we all look forward to and it has finally arrived.  We are up bright and early this morning so we can go see some relatives on this Thanksgiving Day. I wish my oldest son could go with us but he has to work today.  I will take many pictures and [...]
