Ryan has been on a roll writing creative stories and is having a good time doing it. His skills have also been increasing exponentially and we are most impressed. Recently Ryan wrote and illustrated a story and he read it on camera. I did some editing and we turned it into this cool little movie.
2-8-13 - Clyde turned 2 years old and is very much the stereotypical energy filled little kid! Here's a video in 2 parts, part one is Clyde, Ryan, Caroline, and myself singing the classic happy birthday while Clyde blows out the candles. Part 2 is just Clyde being Clyde for your amusement.
It's that time of the year again! SeaFair in Seattle!
And following our tradition, we capture yet one more picture with a SeaFair Pirate!
Now this year is special to me! The Man in Red, the Captain Kidd of the SeaFair Pirates for 2012 is a friend of mine, Lance, often know by his pirate name, Clapeye.
So, not only did we get a picture with a pirate but with a CAPTAIN no less!
When I first meet Caroline at Red Lobster in Olympia Washington, one thing she told me right away was that she is a white water river guide and if I wanted to be in a relationship with her during the 5 to 6 months of the rafting season, I better learn to paddle.
Watching a different company arrive at a take out near Cashmere Wa.
She worked as the Trip Leader for the Northwest Adventure Center at the Joint Base Lewis - McChord (at that time it was just Fort Lewis) part time.
To think, 5 years ago I was childless. I was a worker bee. I was a husband. I was a guy who drank beer in a bar what ever day he wanted.
Things change thats for damn sure.
Ryan has been a life awaken thing. I am more aware now of my faults, weakness, and shortcomings. I am also more aware of my Strength, my will, and my Backbone.
I am very happy to have him in my life. I am also very lucky to have him, his mother - my wife and our youngest boy too!
Happy Birthday Little Man! Your Papa Loves You Very Much!
With Ryan's B-day on March 1st, we held his party the Sunday before. Loads of fun. All junk food for eats! Gummy Bear, worms, slugs, and swedish fish! Animal crackers and frosting covered Animal Crackers with sprinkles!
Ryan requested cupcakes this year and our very good friend Charra made some amazing cupcakes, with Ryan's fav animals!
Here's a close up showing the details. Amazing!
Of Course there were many friends and family who came over too.
Once it was time, the 5 candles went the cupcake that Ryan choose and we all sang the Song!
Clyde was there and had a great time too, and even got some hands on Grandma Time.
