Fun With Guns
Josh and Phoenix are visiting, so we had some Saturday morning fun time and brought out the big guns. We shot my 30 Carbine, my new .223 AR by MAG Tactical (Josh is awesome), and Josh’s .223 AR. We all had a blast. We were too busy having fun to document a lot of it,…

Having a 10 Year Old
As adults we realize that the age milestones don’t matter as much. You aren’t that different the day after your birthday than the day before it. At ten though, that wasn’t the case, and today my son turns ten. Looking back on his life, I see phases instead of years. The first phase was the…
The Bug Zoo – Victoria BC

Xavier’s Mario Themed Birthday
Yesterday we had Xavier’s birthday party, and it was a blast. He wanted it to be themed like Super Mario Brothers, and Christen really outdid herself. She had Super Mario Brothers balloons, centerpieces, piñata, etc. She even did themed food: Thanks to everyone that came! It all turned out great and X had a blast!
