Thanks to All of Our Military Heroes!

Memorial Day.....yes, this weekend is about family, friends, cookouts, sports, fun and time away from the hussle and bussle of work.

But, lest we forget the real reason for the weekend holiday - a time to honor and reflect upon those that have given their lives for our freedoms and to support those that are doing so as we party hard!

Thanks to all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to those who have served in the past and stand in our defense even today. Without you all, America wouldn't be the greatest nation in the world.

Enjoy those hotdogs, but don't forget to say a prayer of thanks for those that have protected our rights to down a few!

Mavs Kick the Spurs!


Game Seven of an NBA series.

The current NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs with homecourt. The upstart Dallas Mavericks coming in after losing a 3 games to 1 lead.

Series tied at 3 games a piece, after 5 of 6 games were decided in the last few seconds.

The drama, the passion, the energy, the stress....

How can anyone not like sports?

After blowing a 20 point lead (with the help of the Refs), the Mavericks held off the Spurs in overtime, winning 119-111, sending the Spurs back home, while inching closer to their first NBA Finals opportunity.

There are still games to win, but this series was the best ever.

We have no fingernails left and our hearts are still racing! How exciting!

I love making Tim "Big Baby" Duncan cry...

Go Mavs, Go!

Lightning Strikes TWICE!



















A few weeks ago a typical Texas thunderstorm ran across our area, so I grabbed my 20D Canon, set up the tripod and stood on the patio for an hour, trigger happy. I got a few neat shots. Enjoy.

Julie Celebrates First Mother's Day!

It's official....Julie is now one of those that gets recognized as a real mom at church on Mother's Day now. Her and the girls have been sick, but we still made it to church to honor her on this great day.

She truly is the best mother and wife in the world too. If our girls are anything like her, then it will truly be a better place!

Happy Mother's Day honey! The first of many...
