New Boat

This past January I purchased a new boat off of craigslist: Reno and last week I finally picked it up on my way to shoot a wedding in California. It's a Dagger Juice and is more "playful" then my current boat and you can see that I will have a little bit of a learning curve to catch up to the design of this boat(meaning I flip all the time).

Here I am running Class III Satan's Cesspool on the lower section of the Southfork of the American River near Coloma, CA.

Spring cleaning...

So I wasn't home today as usual but Adam and the kids were doing some cleaning of our "storage room" and Lindson found his climbing helmet and his dad's snowboarding goggles which he then proceeded to wear for the rest of the day apparently. He told me on the phone that he was wearing his snowboarding goggles and that he was going to go snowboarding "someday". His dad thinks maybe next winter :). Anyway, he used his helmet and goggles to explore outside and is pretty cute if I do say so myself. Sierra on the other hand always seems to look like a Rag-a-muffin when Adam takes care of her...and I'm pretty sure he is proud of that. Too funny. She is cute no matter what of course...just wish Adam didn't give her a Donald Trump comb-over!

Kite

This video cracks me up! Lindson is flying his first kite; I love his enthusiasm.

Union

The kids and I went down to Memorial Union on campus today over lunch. Lindson was super excited about the ducks and was throwing at them anything he could get his hands on in hopes that they would eat it. Cigarette butts, leaves, tin foil, rocks...

Here are the kids soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the lake:

Perhaps this is something for the ducks to eat

Fun in the Spring Sun...

Adam and the kids spent over 5 hours playing outside today in the 60 degree sunshine! Of course, Adam had his camera for a little bit of that time to get some pics of the kids. I'd like to point out a couple things:

1) Sierra is cute but boy can that girl scowl!

2) Lindson has gotten much faster on his bike and if this crash is any indication of things to come, we are in trouble.

3) I was not home so Sierra's hair was not brushed today...ugh :).

4) That beautiful purple fleece Sierra is wearing was made by my good friend Kaci...isn't that cute! You can find more of her stuff for sale on her Etsy blog where there is a link to her Etsy website. Check out http://birchmodern/blogspot.com.

Enjoy the pictures and the sunshine where ever you are at!

Dance

This is too funny! If you have sound on your computer turn it up to get the full effect...This isn't the type of music we usually listen to but when the kids heard it they went crazy dancing...I had a model send her online portfolio website to me and this is the music the website plays when you look at her pictures. Maybe we'll have to buy some techno dance cds for the kids!

Wrestling Season

It's wrestling season, the WI High School State Tournament starts on Thursday and I've been doing some coaching the past couple of weeks. Lindson and Sierra have been going to practice with me twice a week and apparently Lindson in picking up some of the basics...he's already got a pretty decent left leg lead stance(just like his dad) and all he wants to do lately is wrestle on our rug in the living room.

Here he is about to attack mom...

I'm not really sure how this came about but Lindson is showing off his stance while standing on mom...
