Thanks to everyone who listed various ideas for his name. During this process he was known as Connor for a few weeks.....Liam for about 10 days and 5-10 other names that we used for a few hours or so. </div><div>We are not really sure why, but the name that actually stuck is Jackson. We are very excited to have him here with us. He is currently doing his best to punch his way out of the belly.....with no success. He spends most of his time resting comfortably on Britt's bladder. </div><div> </div><div>This past weekend we were able to spend one last getaway as a family of four.....thanks to an invite to Rockaway Beach by our good pals the Wilbur's. We had a great time hanging out at the beach and touring the Tillamook Cheese Factory. </div><div> </div><div>Next Monday I'll get some pics on of the dude as soon as I have the chance. Thanks to everyone for your support. <br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-57096569587740446952009-07-05T16:18:00.000-07:002009-07-07T13:34:07.936-07:00The name predicament .....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_NAuNMLwB0FpE3yB5_bDX-BDsOo2N4jK9Z3_TKtSHCTJSHL3WSSozQy5lzoCziJIPsMQUG5fWlATipjlL5VzfFqvDS1bb_jh106bDNBgtvbT7D-1XGTbSshgiTHMLSJRUxCvgjpwKrw/s1600-h/100_2245.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355120049769703202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_NAuNMLwB0FpE3yB5_bDX-BDsOo2N4jK9Z3_TKtSHCTJSHL3WSSozQy5lzoCziJIPsMQUG5fWlATipjlL5VzfFqvDS1bb_jh106bDNBgtvbT7D-1XGTbSshgiTHMLSJRUxCvgjpwKrw/s400/100_2245.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The picture you see here may not seem significant to you.....but it is actually quite special. This is:</div><ul><li>The only known picture of my pregnant wife</li><li>The only known picture of my son in his mother's belly</li></ul><p>Britt is not a fan of pregnancy and more than most anything....she refuses to have her picture taken while "with child." It's a bummer for me. I'd always imagined having those fancy black and white glamour shots of my pregnant wife hanging around our house....OK, maybe not, but I'd still like some memories of everything she has been going through.</p><p>Anyway, not the point. The point is, we still don't have a name for the boy. That is where family and friends (hopefully) come in. I have gone through 3 baby name books, and so far we have nothing. I'm pushing the name Magnum really hard, but nobody else seems to like it. Right now the top consensus pick is probably Connor, but I'm not sold. It seems like every good name has already been used or is super common. So I'm asking for your help. Name our baby!! I'll even make this interesting for you.....If you suggest the name we use for our boy I will send you a prize worth up to, but not more than $5.00. It could be candy, a small pack of Lego's, a package of disposable razors.....let your imagination run wild. Just put your suggestions on the comment board and we'll see what happens. </p><p>Things you should know:</p><ul><li>His middle name will be Jason</li><li>We will not accept suggestions that have anything to do with Lord of the Rings (Bilbo Kelly doesn't have a great ring to it)</li><li>I really like the name Taylor but I'm told that this is now a girls name.....so no girl names</li><li>I will be the ultimate "decider" on the name....but Brittanie has veto power...so really, she's the decider</li></ul><p>I'm hoping we can have an official name by August 1st.....we'll see what happens. There is a solid chance the first few weeks of his life may be spent simply as "Boy."</p><p></p>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-48398100558499374912008-12-27T13:45:00.001-08:002008-12-27T13:47:53.279-08:00MERRY CHRISTMAS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvodX-HUaIK4KE_BmNNPnuEF3DAvDQb3-3im6Oxdh9m80c3UivdQuaIyIpXuk5izQjX_Etgf01zP7b9Dm9983wtWyWc3PSpAUJoWu1rY5VPKCqIQYpeL5WT3YhlpDLATJ-YwAC-0Ri0A/s1600-h/5Christmas+2008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284589744568678498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 312px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvodX-HUaIK4KE_BmNNPnuEF3DAvDQb3-3im6Oxdh9m80c3UivdQuaIyIpXuk5izQjX_Etgf01zP7b9Dm9983wtWyWc3PSpAUJoWu1rY5VPKCqIQYpeL5WT3YhlpDLATJ-YwAC-0Ri0A/s400/5Christmas+2008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYFzJ_DkiuJg9XNrbrzGB2JlCXlstpE-jMUslnxY_PCDgBoZ6ZXtSFDOrm_K3tvJEk8ZlU8HAykCFvx1nMTWToCE4bQ36y7Oh7_bG5Y9Az75YF8fKm4E5qqsM9ndHQM1x8HNFetQD-fU/s1600-h/Christmas+2008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284589726595366418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 326px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYFzJ_DkiuJg9XNrbrzGB2JlCXlstpE-jMUslnxY_PCDgBoZ6ZXtSFDOrm_K3tvJEk8ZlU8HAykCFvx1nMTWToCE4bQ36y7Oh7_bG5Y9Az75YF8fKm4E5qqsM9ndHQM1x8HNFetQD-fU/s400/Christmas+2008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-46385626450503053672008-11-12T07:23:00.000-08:002008-11-12T07:39:43.394-08:00Katie turns 6Unreal how the time goes so fast.

The past couple days they haven't left. There is one buck, a doe and two fawns. It is pretty wild. They hang out all over the hill and sometimes right on our backyard lawn.

Today was one of those days for us.....Katie's first day of Kindergarten. She has been so excited. She couldn't sleep last night and it's basically all she has talked about for a week. Mom put her in her Gymboree best....and gave her the recital hair-do. She looked like a million bucks. Walking down to the bus (yes, she has to ride the bus) was a strange walk. We were both paranoid that she had already missed it.....or that some weird dude would be her bus driver. But it went OK.....until she appeared to burst in to tears when she sat down on the bus. Britt's first words were, "My stomach is sick, I think I'm going to throw up." I sprinted back up to the house....got in the car and sped up the the school to make sure she got there OK. I was happy to see that other tearful parents had done the same thing. Watching her walk in to that school was definitely the end of something.......I'm not sure what it is yet.....but I know it ripped my heart apart. <br /><br />Anyway, Livy starts pre-school next week and she's really excited for that. Britt will have two days a week where she has a couple hours of freedom. It's such a strange deal to experience this side of parenthood. Not easy, but rewarding in a "punch in the stomach" kind of way. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXy0Qdsf9gQYuxO5tC_42FXnVMKX4MmAOSGbp9JZOnhabD6bgn33fY9jhiNLJigFcZ7Ocvf7scJVUxC6CFBVG6yCCnq0JccwxK4Q1Z5XLwnlwb40Tf0ByJqwDmwkhOOYENVLFZr443mJo/s1600-h/100_1414.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241504678138458514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXy0Qdsf9gQYuxO5tC_42FXnVMKX4MmAOSGbp9JZOnhabD6bgn33fY9jhiNLJigFcZ7Ocvf7scJVUxC6CFBVG6yCCnq0JccwxK4Q1Z5XLwnlwb40Tf0ByJqwDmwkhOOYENVLFZr443mJo/s400/100_1414.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCmfeuUuMhg8vv023TX8OiagBz1X2i1ffIkHDV5KtGG_9ilGhQEJg3zOSiE8NBg9Sw0fbThFyjgqebJpxE-93HSkQgfj7L86QFaSaV2pbFhetX0NWPv4rAzGSLU2OVlxw_8Invoi_w2S0/s1600-h/100_1415.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241504681443362018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCmfeuUuMhg8vv023TX8OiagBz1X2i1ffIkHDV5KtGG_9ilGhQEJg3zOSiE8NBg9Sw0fbThFyjgqebJpxE-93HSkQgfj7L86QFaSaV2pbFhetX0NWPv4rAzGSLU2OVlxw_8Invoi_w2S0/s400/100_1415.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0_7304BnWqkKxA0VOnSTKQhyphenhyphen655_ngDKANRKbV_g4odUmHjbW0QTZrFvvP5bbdT9VwqBJYpibjvKEmsNhULD3P4VYWXtejxOu5Uq6u_-GsE4no8L3U4Wr0WInUhr_vjg4pYn7P6PBzI/s1600-h/100_1418.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241504686667683026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0_7304BnWqkKxA0VOnSTKQhyphenhyphen655_ngDKANRKbV_g4odUmHjbW0QTZrFvvP5bbdT9VwqBJYpibjvKEmsNhULD3P4VYWXtejxOu5Uq6u_-GsE4no8L3U4Wr0WInUhr_vjg4pYn7P6PBzI/s400/100_1418.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv2jaKGeDUts2cpmHdTaZW8Omm53K3R80BuHOYNmgGZa8m50PsBqUjvvJfnPwoHwO0wUXkM2XO8BpRRmyfx0BNicm0dQ7plg1TgB60Y7sH-vOQO_YTy7R_bualKVPqx_hMFFMyUJ5-0fk/s1600-h/100_1420.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241504693367517554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv2jaKGeDUts2cpmHdTaZW8Omm53K3R80BuHOYNmgGZa8m50PsBqUjvvJfnPwoHwO0wUXkM2XO8BpRRmyfx0BNicm0dQ7plg1TgB60Y7sH-vOQO_YTy7R_bualKVPqx_hMFFMyUJ5-0fk/s400/100_1420.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-17199437091720948802008-08-27T11:30:00.000-07:002008-08-27T11:45:28.755-07:00Oasis in Seattle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8kWH1_cSIWj973Dz-W2JsmiFHyXMTiR0DAdqFi_clGl9xanPcET66Nqp8xnKj1-TdDk_KomE_tefkYflMcwyKzey9eUoWseLVI_Mg1mh0mNGCp2EFhT35I44vls1qW_nZMyhWJ4qFqw/s1600-h/IMG00060.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239267544512950754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8kWH1_cSIWj973Dz-W2JsmiFHyXMTiR0DAdqFi_clGl9xanPcET66Nqp8xnKj1-TdDk_KomE_tefkYflMcwyKzey9eUoWseLVI_Mg1mh0mNGCp2EFhT35I44vls1qW_nZMyhWJ4qFqw/s400/IMG00060.JPG" border="0" /></a> So last night I was able to check something off of my bucketlist. To most of you this is going to seem lame......but Britt and I drove up to Seattle to see my favorite band Oasis. I keep hearing, "They are still around? What songs do they sing?" You should get on itunes and find out. They are great. In the picture is Liam and Noel Gallagher. Liam is the lead singer....and is one of the great front men of all time. He doesn't dance, move.....anything. He just stares into the crowd like he wants to fight someone the whole show. Brittanie was blown away by it.....it's actually quite hilarious. Noel is the mastermind and main song writer for Oasis. He is probably best known for singing, "Don't look back in anger," from their album, "What's the story morning glory?" Anyway, it was a great show. Although, crowds in the Northwest lack enthusiasm. We saw Foo Fighters in Portland a few weeks ago and the crowd was weak at that show as well. Britt and I left for the show at 3pm.....and returned home at about 3am. It was well worth it. I have had tickets for Oasis two other times. The first time was in Vegas.....but we got pregnant with Katie so we had to sell them. The 2nd time I had tickets for their show in '05 in Seattle....but we were living in Medford and I didn't have time off to go. Those tickets went to waste. They are really a great band.....and probably still the biggest thing going in the UK. Anyway, thanks to my wife for letting me indulge in childish things when I get the whim to do so. And thanks to our good friends The Wilbur's for taking care of our girls while we went to the show. We don't know what we would do without you.<br /><div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-89252841606585444102008-08-24T21:06:00.000-07:002008-08-24T21:11:57.710-07:00Trip to Utah<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyvhR5jNPr26FDt_5_SsTj8IG2dNS_Uoz28TstztzDFalVgIQqIt4XvyhE3kVvXCReHMAfJ0YgJwEuivPXSS_AgTIRajaPDdmlmhAziUwvnH5vSIfHlHKRqrJWsPEhCBF8HRVLYNHRbg/s1600-h/Utah+with+Jack1"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238302453741079346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyvhR5jNPr26FDt_5_SsTj8IG2dNS_Uoz28TstztzDFalVgIQqIt4XvyhE3kVvXCReHMAfJ0YgJwEuivPXSS_AgTIRajaPDdmlmhAziUwvnH5vSIfHlHKRqrJWsPEhCBF8HRVLYNHRbg/s400/Utah+with+Jack1" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJaHSKvQTXrx-AQ1empRM8mVCSMgXFD9SzlJWAFvRuEzu7ORs7doh83I1-XNJVZc4yKRGF6lHKtegWAyix7H2S4w4NJ26F-LZ0jyM_v7HeILEadD56s1LaMsRR55JZ6jr2H45H1_uUcU/s1600-h/Utah+with+Jack2"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238302456424105698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJaHSKvQTXrx-AQ1empRM8mVCSMgXFD9SzlJWAFvRuEzu7ORs7doh83I1-XNJVZc4yKRGF6lHKtegWAyix7H2S4w4NJ26F-LZ0jyM_v7HeILEadD56s1LaMsRR55JZ6jr2H45H1_uUcU/s400/Utah+with+Jack2" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8nncjaHyvgRMWOW2EgaSBB0Ne4RjzeiXTzUPE7uF5vCEF3rvD9N_fIj3Z76vSb1Z__vADn8glUSJ6Q_Jxjt_TogXAAakNOFNf6je9tR8bnjRAHhyEekAI3aHP7mkFED46wbxjuLQLK8/s1600-h/Utah+with+Jack3"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238302466537896546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8nncjaHyvgRMWOW2EgaSBB0Ne4RjzeiXTzUPE7uF5vCEF3rvD9N_fIj3Z76vSb1Z__vADn8glUSJ6Q_Jxjt_TogXAAakNOFNf6je9tR8bnjRAHhyEekAI3aHP7mkFED46wbxjuLQLK8/s400/Utah+with+Jack3" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKuz2vne6oA2AM0G1OH2TavWVPcr27QuGPjG5cxEutj8xfwHRgJVVTnXGvllds7mL5fu5LRkFAqIScCqfgW3XMwpw96nAaZgKFNfIWl7zdxm7Ofwnf_idUe_OYjvbnUGe77Qvc7cbGaA/s1600-h/Utah+with+Jack"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238302247469231826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKuz2vne6oA2AM0G1OH2TavWVPcr27QuGPjG5cxEutj8xfwHRgJVVTnXGvllds7mL5fu5LRkFAqIScCqfgW3XMwpw96nAaZgKFNfIWl7zdxm7Ofwnf_idUe_OYjvbnUGe77Qvc7cbGaA/s400/Utah+with+Jack" border="0" /></a><br />We went home for my Mom's wedding in early August. I had to work in Utah, so the girls came with me a few days early. (Britt had to come the day before the wedding, but got a much needed break from the kids) Anyway, the girls spent their days with Cortney and Jack while I was working. They had such a great time, as you can see by the pictures. HOPEFULLY (hint, hint) my Mom will email me some wedding pictures so you can see what a beautiful wedding she and Terry had. A big thanks to Cort and Jack....the girls had a blast.<br /><div></div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-64571380230522746252008-08-15T19:07:00.000-07:002008-08-15T19:09:56.377-07:00The 'StacheBecause I'm a huge fan of mustaches.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlqD-g8ee3-kBJpVaHCmHOTjnTmtcbmgB9XrPIFgJROCYr3jMyZG5qqyKZFfC6-_lUDlBNtvoRjO0KQyB7CZaX9VzqsBwVRpqJvG2KtQomcPvOiiH_lBBTm_wnhudpT6OLoocgVXvwdUg/s1600-h/100_1368.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234931802510360418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlqD-g8ee3-kBJpVaHCmHOTjnTmtcbmgB9XrPIFgJROCYr3jMyZG5qqyKZFfC6-_lUDlBNtvoRjO0KQyB7CZaX9VzqsBwVRpqJvG2KtQomcPvOiiH_lBBTm_wnhudpT6OLoocgVXvwdUg/s400/100_1368.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivi3BIscqaTkwpnkCtrp17wswibA797ts1SkgLiJ8UQyULE9y6WZH7DjTcNczEoC92Su31hfMssHQZx-BnYD1HuB5kx2Skm3gqZHawFkNUaEnkpV_Qvha391p5ity0_IFAon5EZENYPUw/s1600-h/100_1366.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234931811338503778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivi3BIscqaTkwpnkCtrp17wswibA797ts1SkgLiJ8UQyULE9y6WZH7DjTcNczEoC92Su31hfMssHQZx-BnYD1HuB5kx2Skm3gqZHawFkNUaEnkpV_Qvha391p5ity0_IFAon5EZENYPUw/s400/100_1366.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6zxGJTpUil7Mg9s126hP0H_H8aKa8MyCMP6YDE4ESkxjisyiPEsl83FIfSLvirXz8-4eLCkmw0ZU0NRah8YyxwXtU-R8d7uNXOIZL7_PMzo5iS4CUqmxJJpfo-zpyi4zzS5g4ESErbIs/s1600-h/100_1364.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234931824417433682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6zxGJTpUil7Mg9s126hP0H_H8aKa8MyCMP6YDE4ESkxjisyiPEsl83FIfSLvirXz8-4eLCkmw0ZU0NRah8YyxwXtU-R8d7uNXOIZL7_PMzo5iS4CUqmxJJpfo-zpyi4zzS5g4ESErbIs/s400/100_1364.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-52160342713532443722008-08-11T00:58:00.000-07:002008-08-11T01:03:50.327-07:00UtahWe have been in Utah this week.

It was pretty scary in the first picture when they tried to melt us with their laser eyes.</div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-64381520446563854532008-07-31T18:26:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:21:30.973-08:00Better late than neverSo clear back in June my Mom took all of us (the entire fam) to California. We stayed in a really nice beach house in Laguna Beach. We did a lot of cool things like Disneyland, an L.A. Angels game and a lot of beach time. The kids absolutely loved it.....we all did. The only bad thing about the trip was us forgetting our camera. We have virtually no pictures from the trip. At Disneyland we bought a disposable camera and just recently had the pictures developed. They aren't very clear, but we'll get more as soon as my Mom and Sister send me their pics. (hint hint) A very very special thanks to my Mom for such a great time. She took care of everything for us and it was a total blast.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJpLKKdtOhwFZhPLOIfEAEPoFi7seoFnugm38HGgKWMWDB74lpAGWjySJkguo_IRm85fqH6V9k-icHaeFevCvfWgkDHszn9xNg6g9F402prmxlzbbsWin1nNYLNYuHTNmsPEfEef6CSGg/s1600-h/85740026.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229357044303766386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJpLKKdtOhwFZhPLOIfEAEPoFi7seoFnugm38HGgKWMWDB74lpAGWjySJkguo_IRm85fqH6V9k-icHaeFevCvfWgkDHszn9xNg6g9F402prmxlzbbsWin1nNYLNYuHTNmsPEfEef6CSGg/s400/85740026.jpg" border="0" /></a> Does Peter Pan look as annoying as he actually was?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9_Ij5788Z8gRl94suAAABr1M5CxIvoI8F2JvQruqTKFIUik4RLxryEpr0TEff1SXN_1z8mH8IhokjnvkH7a5gT9QRSqfj-3aO7Jd4qcPjV-TU_F_jTMsrG_PXM-JMydC0kMt5U6TJ30/s1600-h/85740028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229357052616308658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9_Ij5788Z8gRl94suAAABr1M5CxIvoI8F2JvQruqTKFIUik4RLxryEpr0TEff1SXN_1z8mH8IhokjnvkH7a5gT9QRSqfj-3aO7Jd4qcPjV-TU_F_jTMsrG_PXM-JMydC0kMt5U6TJ30/s400/85740028.jpg" border="0" /></a> I think this is something from Alice in Wonderland.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHbumrBBlSLOG34m84k9hJtRbgx3wfGhS4Apx-3G93lRWNyp2n0XC1WyT-rQrwZRz9HTH_eOO1wjpnHs8F3K9uk7PS256GGOLbK_vPa77VlVtBroS-U5r3L7KYJUMsqYsfYzrjCpjvrA/s1600-h/85740029.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229357060229886994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHbumrBBlSLOG34m84k9hJtRbgx3wfGhS4Apx-3G93lRWNyp2n0XC1WyT-rQrwZRz9HTH_eOO1wjpnHs8F3K9uk7PS256GGOLbK_vPa77VlVtBroS-U5r3L7KYJUMsqYsfYzrjCpjvrA/s400/85740029.jpg" border="0" /></a> Livy loved riding the tea cups.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvUp1tjHJO_V5Hr2zPFZd95PYWIS2e71sqZtn4fZ6GdIGOAB0ps-VrNH-z5Tm0iiV0TnV3eycMRDb8UKagyIypxjivWCcwaMRzLdIeJ0czRNDklA3vu5PTEeqXtlF9YrzcLLwq0e-_XU/s1600-h/85740033.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229357070179696642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvUp1tjHJO_V5Hr2zPFZd95PYWIS2e71sqZtn4fZ6GdIGOAB0ps-VrNH-z5Tm0iiV0TnV3eycMRDb8UKagyIypxjivWCcwaMRzLdIeJ0czRNDklA3vu5PTEeqXtlF9YrzcLLwq0e-_XU/s400/85740033.jpg" border="0" /></a> The kids were so excited to see Mickey.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWabA7mYbNfQHBwNdS9Jdhjl2yqK8Zq3hU3SqwejVZx7TEofSvrXyvh_iYB_gKjKGEEnVwhUNB0TFHnBC9ZLbqDRQQojqtoz4VUXi_TkgPhYKsmE6t65tMojdrrynbB-IMI9h-39XBwhM/s1600-h/85740034.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229357076970379810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWabA7mYbNfQHBwNdS9Jdhjl2yqK8Zq3hU3SqwejVZx7TEofSvrXyvh_iYB_gKjKGEEnVwhUNB0TFHnBC9ZLbqDRQQojqtoz4VUXi_TkgPhYKsmE6t65tMojdrrynbB-IMI9h-39XBwhM/s400/85740034.jpg" border="0" /></a> Niko trying to do his best Goofy is a classic shot.J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-74248387370012211422008-07-27T19:06:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:21:31.722-08:00Lincoln CityWe spent this weekend with Brittanie's family in a beach house at Lincoln City, Oregon.

Having you leave us has been much more difficult than I thought it would be. I will miss your porcelain skin, your soft kisses and your sweet smile. Even with 17 Grandkids trying to get your attention you always made each of us feel like we were the most special. Selfishly I wish my girls had more of a chance to get to know how wonderful you were. Being away from you the past few years has not been easy. We love you Grandma....the 4th of July will never be the same without you here. Give Grandpa a kiss for us and tell him we miss him too. <br /><div></div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-15941005406487756952008-07-03T17:48:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:21:34.080-08:00Weird Skies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHQTNcSzpjLo4DUvHGOoTABeUmj5dbnEJaQObd23jKHv4ETBESMn1CrGj3kElaPTzDhG3xZ5CkNxcgXA_zOAd6CK1FPDXo2xZxZm7-f_a5VOqxv_lk90KAy9994pxbO6-GUi1RoLTDag/s1600-h/100_1274.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218955318492018818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHQTNcSzpjLo4DUvHGOoTABeUmj5dbnEJaQObd23jKHv4ETBESMn1CrGj3kElaPTzDhG3xZ5CkNxcgXA_zOAd6CK1FPDXo2xZxZm7-f_a5VOqxv_lk90KAy9994pxbO6-GUi1RoLTDag/s400/100_1274.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Kz3dg29emV62W3qCpY7BTSX1mc11przqMsAWJE0OMAkAuhItMnspKXIhe5j80cUBuQapS7s93zvIP46qegqEz6lwzMTcDK5J0Ihyip0YbIdvdaRfShuf8FWpL-Hl-b-02r6KRdEyMEA/s1600-h/100_1275.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218955328691573730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Kz3dg29emV62W3qCpY7BTSX1mc11przqMsAWJE0OMAkAuhItMnspKXIhe5j80cUBuQapS7s93zvIP46qegqEz6lwzMTcDK5J0Ihyip0YbIdvdaRfShuf8FWpL-Hl-b-02r6KRdEyMEA/s400/100_1275.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This has been a strange summer.

I took pictures for once....here they are.</div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-19711908294400916572008-06-30T11:14:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:21:34.817-08:00Spring Hiatus<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJa90AJX6XZH0PneRNKuf1LpCHnKgc5IoiRwdb0zWf7oCFGGixc_IeLiyuVdxLhEp1BVkGqNqE3EzIhFoBMm8bp5YZI01YI5IBdQ9yi7oaheHJNrcXeeckZ-s7UtQpg-RaJKXkyagb8s/s1600-h/100_1219.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217741440921033522" style="DISPLAY: block;

My beautiful wife turned 30 yesterday. It is hard to believe that we are both in our 30's now....even harder to belive that we have been friends for more than 20 years now. Britt is an amazing Mom. So patient and tender with our girls. She does all of the little things for them and devotes all of her time and attention to them. (especially their hair)</div><br /><div>And to me.....well, you can only imagine that being married to me is not always a treat. We have seen many great times together, been through a lot of heart ache together.....she has been involved in almost every aspect of my life since I can even remember. She puts up with my moods, my bad jokes, my travel....and in a nut shell, she has every great quality that I lack.</div><br /><div>She truly is the love of my life. I am so grateful for her and forever indebted to her for being so good to our little family. Happy Birthday Britt!!! </div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-52724924458991746232008-02-13T19:00:00.000-08:002008-12-09T14:21:35.754-08:00Would the real President please stand up?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FwPIA-DZS_eHoyCj40ehrERpGTCy2KhaZftW20blzgZJv3EKL_RjfslYqHk-DFGUT67Z0OZXbB7HvQb4RPXogVxV5_m-ytVkgkoboZAf5c55VmysSPZ0r3VXxPJcUVdSqPP1-ImLMuk/s1600-h/Pres+Monson.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166666738761967858" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FwPIA-DZS_eHoyCj40ehrERpGTCy2KhaZftW20blzgZJv3EKL_RjfslYqHk-DFGUT67Z0OZXbB7HvQb4RPXogVxV5_m-ytVkgkoboZAf5c55VmysSPZ0r3VXxPJcUVdSqPP1-ImLMuk/s320/Pres+Monson.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIO-7CRBo_52gRHR2fGd7mM6LVckKPSyT2AfQu8It8HFerDRbrBJA5gyOOjQ3l1Tgrv6Tyx6VLHgomyipOW6XgHeSYwYhtp6N56dMGWMYjrRtZTSdeAp8GfnNFLxTcDskR3L0dZ0q61J0/s1600-h/george-w-bush.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166666738761967874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIO-7CRBo_52gRHR2fGd7mM6LVckKPSyT2AfQu8It8HFerDRbrBJA5gyOOjQ3l1Tgrv6Tyx6VLHgomyipOW6XgHeSYwYhtp6N56dMGWMYjrRtZTSdeAp8GfnNFLxTcDskR3L0dZ0q61J0/s320/george-w-bush.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Today was an interesting day at school for Katie. They spent the week talking about Presidents. She has done several arts and crafts including a lovely rendition of President Lincoln's log cabin using popsicle sticks. </div><br /><div>Today the conversation turned toward our current President. When Mrs. Merik asked asked if anyone in the class knew who the President was, Katie raised her hand high and said, "President Monson." I would have loved to see the puzzled look on the teacher's face as she tried to figure out who this "President Monson" was. Katie was very bothered when Mrs. Merik said that 'W' was our President. Who can blame her.........</div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645381485890581183.post-83836041095694420482008-02-10T19:40:00.000-08:002008-12-09T14:21:36.338-08:00The end of an era<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwuPe_wdqynWZVWQJZsEMUUzvAcV5GCvbjztS5NDc3pD7t-FUpcdwvZ8_90OXROovS6UTPNpSGgXL_5LO1ETcqQ5shN7evh-k8bvY38nraJE02qKXt4DeHYSxmEkMUleR7_oTofVVgBaU/s1600-h/100_1058.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165562910692059330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwuPe_wdqynWZVWQJZsEMUUzvAcV5GCvbjztS5NDc3pD7t-FUpcdwvZ8_90OXROovS6UTPNpSGgXL_5LO1ETcqQ5shN7evh-k8bvY38nraJE02qKXt4DeHYSxmEkMUleR7_oTofVVgBaU/s320/100_1058.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYtRKUwqPreLYdk5_EK8Xm8OQltzyUJo9xNI2865CyJZTsx4tdg8pITrD4sQtBZz1_lILsMtjJyQd-VghNTmwOyIZ7XLafI2hfYevNa0MgHPJ-DPUBALzntF0AAETuo-hCrrSDfji-SY/s1600-h/100_0102.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165562923576961234" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYtRKUwqPreLYdk5_EK8Xm8OQltzyUJo9xNI2865CyJZTsx4tdg8pITrD4sQtBZz1_lILsMtjJyQd-VghNTmwOyIZ7XLafI2hfYevNa0MgHPJ-DPUBALzntF0AAETuo-hCrrSDfji-SY/s320/100_0102.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-aZiWIyQRFIRHRkuXPrjMtSNmbgAMKhWNoPwtueKicX_6MEptlnn3H_EkQHNSfCD8FJCvlvSohy1d9y082gkHSSYMqMckGinSy49FT1WpVSzkE1z4N0dYrRHD1On8XtZ5Sg14kfo-IAg/s1600-h/DSCF0001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165562932166895842" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-aZiWIyQRFIRHRkuXPrjMtSNmbgAMKhWNoPwtueKicX_6MEptlnn3H_EkQHNSfCD8FJCvlvSohy1d9y082gkHSSYMqMckGinSy49FT1WpVSzkE1z4N0dYrRHD1On8XtZ5Sg14kfo-IAg/s320/DSCF0001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>So "B" has been with us since Katie was born. Gradually we have seen 'her' fall apart piece by piece. Katie sleeps with it over her ear every night. During the day she chews on it.....which hasn't helped it's life span. When we wash "B", it is only by the grace of a tightly knotted pillow case that it survives. We think we are in the final week or two of "B's" 5 + years with us. I'm not sure if it will be harder for me or Katie when we actually have to throw it away. The three pictures of "B" are in the various stages of its life. </div>J B Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416430978817542569noreply@blogger.com2
