Family Photos & Sammy's Revenge

Sekora Posse! Sorry kiddos, while you got mommy's beautiful eyes, I think you got daddy's not-so-beautiful hairline.

Family day at Safeco (for one family at least!). Audrey is prepping herself for what she knows is coming next . . . .


She is officially boycotting the traditional seventh inning stretch singing of Take Me Out to the Ballgame until they add " . . . and buy me some peanuts and cotton candy . . .".


"Wait a minute . . . THESE are cracker-jacks? . . . and buy me some peanuts, cracker-jacks, and cotton candy. I don't care if I ever get back . . . "

After all the sodium and sugar that went into our little spark-plug, a cold liter of water had no chance.
Jackson (far left), Sydney, Audrey, and Mason lined up for the 4th of July parade in anytown USA (actually Anacortes town). My money is on Jackson to get the most candy, though he doesn't have a bag in his hand . . . poor planning Jackson!
By looking at the parents clothing you could very well mistake this for the Thanksgiving day parade . . . oh 4th of July in the Northwest!

Audrey's absolutely in love with her new helmet. She made a pitch to sleep in it last night (seriously). She even negotiated with the fact that she might fall out of bed. It was a decent point and well argued position. Daddy still won in the end but she is getting better.


Lisa's family has a reunion every other year. Being together for 10+ years I believe this was my fifth. One of the best traditions is the homemade ice-cream. I think Audrey took seriously the joke that you don't get any if you don't take your turn on the crank.

A much needed rest after all that cranking (and eating). With Audrey being a family name in Lisa's family, here is our Audrey resting atop the Audrey of one-generation prior.


Sam has pointed out that Audrey simply gets way to much air time on this blog. He decided to "cute'n up" his game by posing with his new girly friend Quinlan.


"Seriously dad, if I just held hands with a girl, it better buy me some photos!".




Who doesn't love a double chin! Smart money says there is another layer tucked under there somewhere.
