Benjamin is in Coach Pitch this year and got a hit in his first at bat. And he decided he hates playing right field.
No kid pictures cuz I was busy coaching today. Maybe next week.

Such sharp attention.

It's that time of year again. Pinewood Derby time! This year Trace made some really detailed drawings of how his car should look. After last year's results he went for a more streamlined design.

The Pack leaders Abbott & Costello had everyone is stitches most of the time between races.

Trace looked a little nervous before his car's turn came up.

Ben liked looking over all the cars.

Den 6 watching all the raced from the finish line.

It's our turn.

1 car got disqualified. I think a wheel fell off. The "Flashing Fire" Raced 4 times.
And WON all 4 Races!

Kasey wasn't so impressed though.

I don't know why I look so surely here. I was actually quite proud.

Ben and his friends spent most of the afternoon playing Hot Wheels in the back of the gym.

I'm a little late getting these pictures up but, well, no real excuse I can think of. Anyway, here's our annual New Year's Eve Party and Fireworks Extravaganza.

All the kids start out with sparklers in the back yard.
A little dicey in dry times like it has been! No grass fires though.

Trace with one of his sparklers.

Is this what they mean about the fog of war?

You could barely see 10 feet when all the kids got going.
I'm surprised my deck didn't catch fire.

Sonny with his Sparkler.

Now that's a goofy excited face!

Leave it to Holly to be outside hostessing in about 30 degrees in her sleeveless party finest.

All the kids out front for the big fireworks Holly got in San Antonio.

About 10 minutes after we had done the "Grand Finale", one of Dallas' finest went slowly by our driveway but didn't stop. Whew!

On Christmas evening all the Rosenbower families came over as well as our good friends the Jordons for some more Christmas and some Rock Salt Prime Rib. MMMMMM!

It's that time of the year! Time for the annual Polyphonic Spree Christmas show. My boys introduction every year to the greatness of the Rock Concert!
Maybe Kasey will go next year.

Tired much?

Who says it never snows in Texas???

2008-12-09T20:38:00.004-06:00

So, we're watching It's Christmas Charlie Brown and Holly looks out the window and notices that while no one was watching it had snowed. A little.

I had just been out there grilling some chicken for dinner. It was cold but I never thought this would happen. The weather men always over promise and under deliver.

Come on man, it's December. It doesn't snow here in December.

The boys had some fun it it for a while. There was a bunch of snow on the trampoline.

Oh, and it was 60 degrees this morning when I went to work.

Holly was out in the backyard a couple of weekends ago and took some really good pictures of Kasey.

An almost, kinda, nearly smile.

Her contemplative look.
