Indoor Skydiving

Amy bought Matt indoor skydiving for Father's Day and was kind enough to let me tag along. Everyone should give it a try. Although I felt a little pansy when I read the ad that said it's the bunny slopes of the skydiving world.

Party People

Here's the graduation/belated Noelle B-day party. Fun times. Happy times. Bocce Times.





The BBQ man...aka Noelle's Grandpa. Delicious burgers cooked to perfection.

The Beuvings + the Bradleys = fun times.
Can't have a party without Bocce Ball!

Woo Hoo! Happy Graduation Adam!!!!


He's a working man now!  Adam graduated this Friday from the LA County Fire Department Academy.  He started his shift the next morning.  The graduation was wonderful, and it is so exciting for him to be done.  We had a little party Friday night... I will post those pictures later.


Their motto behind him says "proud protectors of life and property."


This is how Adam feels now that he is done with the academy.


One of Adam's biggest fans.


Me being a hatstand while Adam changes.


Our lovely guests....thanks for coming!


Adam getting his badge pinned on by the Fire Chief.
Taking their oath.


They did a demonstration after the graduation.  Adam is using the jaws of life in this photo.

Fun With Photo Booth

The child and I had some time on our hands tonight so.....

We decided to play with Photo Booth:

                                   Oh, is it taking already?

                                   The girl acting coy.

                                   Making rude sounds.....one of Noelle's favorite pastimes.


Happy Friday everybody!

The Pool Genes Strike Fast

I went to shave my head for the week last night, and found there was a little less to shave.
The widow's peak forming.
The hairline is dropping back.  Andy D, you know what I'm talking about.
And further back.
And the two sides made the turn, forming the island.
Leaving me with a solid horseshoe pattern.  
Fortunately, Grandad taught us how to rock a bald head.
Noey likes the new look.  It's supposed to be the mother's father that controls the baldness in the family.  That means that either Matt or myself will be bald someday.  I'm pretty sure it'll be Matt.  Three more weeks until hair again for me.
