Tattooed Ladies

I don't have any, but kind of have a fascination with them. Apparently so do the kids. I think it's a toss up who they are more excited to see when they come to my office for a visit, me or Rhonda, the admin assistant aka the tattoo artist.

Boomshakalaka!

Without cable TV this is how I "watch" the Trail Blazers. I'll never forget the moment of disbelief when the score changed from 96-98 Rockets with 0.9 seconds left to 99-98 in Game 6 of the 1st round. It was a bummer to get thumped so bad in the 2nd round but overall it was a pretty exciting season, and no one will ever be able to take away Dame's 3 pointer from us Blazer fans. Most memorable highlight of the post season was madly texting back and forth with Scotty during game Game 4. I was on the road between Fairbanks and Anchorage. Scotty provided excellent play by play.

Redneck Fun

You have to be suspect about how the rest of the day will to go when your first act of the day is this.

Got Jumper Cables?

That would be jump starting your truck with the one up on blocks. I was a little late for work.

Cinco De Autumn!

It's been over a month but we can still celebrate that Autumn is cinco anos. Amy and I have come to the sudden realization that we are no longer raising a toddler, but a full on little girl. Happy Birthday Autumn. Ride like the wind. Check out Flickr for more astounding photos.

Celebrating with friends from the North Country and imitation cupcakes.

birthday hair-do

Autumn's own watch. Now it's easy to know when "time out" is over.

We're now a bracelet manufacturing plant.

First ride on the new pedal bike. Yes, that's a vapor trail behind her.
