New Shower

Alex got a new shower in his house, partly for aesthetic purposes, and partly to keep in the warmth. I think it looks great! Way better than before.

New Stuart Crib

Went to visit the bro and family in Tulsa. They have a beautiful new house in a great neighborhood. Here are a few pics.

Great tree out front.

Cute front porch.

Nice big living room.

Carson told me his favorite thing about the new house is that it has a "real nice hall for puttin"

Josh and Carson's room.

Music sitting area.

The teeth brushing room.

Carson hanging out in the playroom.

Rafting the Arkansas

We rafted the Arkansas while in Colorado. Unfortunately, the Royal Gorge was closed due to heavy run-off of water from the hefty snowfall this past winter, so we had to settle for a class 3 rapid. Kinda lame, but still fun.

Wetsuits are hot.

We had to pull our boat over because we passed some carnage from a boat in front of us that tipped over. Our guide ran down the bank and helped some people out of the river. We hung out and got rained on, awesome.

Storm rolling in.

Bleak waters.

Colorado 4th of July

We drove to Colorado for 4th of July and stayed at the Broadmoor. We had a fantastic time, and the weather was beautiful. Enjoy the pics!

4th of July revelers.

We played tennis Saturday morning and had a great time. It was a bit hot and the altitude was quite noticable, but the scenery is hard to beat!

Studly tennis player.

Amarillo

Alex and I took a trip to Colorado Springs for 4th of July and went through Amarillo on the way. Below are some pictures of some familiar places and faces.

Alex with his Aunt Helen and Uncle Bud. They treated us to a wonderful breakfast Wednesday morning before we hit the road.

Alex's Jr. High School, go Fannin Panthers!

Father's Day '08

The man himself on his special day opening some "pop" gifts from Carson. Hopefully he is puting his Home Depot gift card to good use today and buying the coveted after drill.

Josh brandishing his eating utensil of choice.

Freeze! Joshy models some fancy foot wear.

Josh told his dad "Look at my new gatorade shirt!"

Alex sporting his new father's day durag courtesy of Rachel. He looks strangely like Dr. Evil in the prison scene in Goldmember. That's hot.

Tulsa Time

I went to Tulsa this weekend to visit my BFF Tana and go see Sex and the City. We decided to make an evening of it and dressed appropriately. We had cosmos and sushi before the movie and had a general good time. I do not yet have a pair of Manolo B's or Jimmys but soon, very soon...Also below are pics of Aaron's Tulsa lair and Tana's blue car gorilla.
