Apartment Carpet

Generally speaking, we like apartment life. It’s like living in a homey hotel. Accidentally smash the wall while moving furniture? Who cares. Refrigerator’s broken? They fix it ASAP, for free. And forget about taking your shoes off at the door, because guess what? It’s “apartment carpet.”
But it’s still an apartment. And quite honestly, we [...]

Lake House 09!

Wow. It seems like we’ve been busier than normal around here. Or is that simply an excuse, since it looks like most of my our posts lately have been A) Extremely short and B) Extremely infrequent? Regardless, here we go…
So going back to May of 2008: Kate’s folks rented a lake house out on Lake [...]

Man vs Beast

The ‘Cruiser  “overhaul” has begun!!
It’s completely vaccuumed out and we doused the interior in Febreeze the other day–so the inside isn’t too bad now! Basically, I’ve done everything I can do without knowing anything about fixing cars, or putting cash into the Beast.
But this evening, I decided it was time to roll up my sleeves [...]

And He’s Off!

For those who don’t know, mi hermano Cory, is headed down to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for an unknown period of time to do awesome things. He’s going to rock that country hard.
He can’t take everything with him, so he had me hold on to a few things until he comes back. Things like:

Game day [...]

Busy Weekend Ahead!

Quick Note:
So we’re sitting around the other day and Katie says this: “Wow, we really need to update our blog.” Note the use of “we” in that sentence. For the record, even though our loyal readers have been screaming for Katie to author a post, she has yet to do so.
So really what she was [...]

Becoming Real Texans

Our small group went out to the ranch on Sunday after church. It was a full day of four-wheelers, swimming, shotguns, grilling, beers…and a lot of cowboy boots!
Enjoy the pics! (And yes, I am wearing a camouflage hat…)

Porcupine for Dinner?

Katie always comes home with hysterical touching stories about the kids at her school. This is a conversation she had with a first grader yesterday…
Katie: “How are a cactus and a porcupine the same?”
First Grader: “They’re both pokey.”
Katie: “How are a cactus and a porcupine different?”
First Grader: “A cactus is a plant and lives in [...]
