Hammy!

This is why I like to host a home for Disciple Now for the youth at our church.
Tyler fell asleep in Johnny's bed and that had to be punished.
Concord Rules!

Sorry, just one more Gillian Welch post, I promise. I LOVE this song. I didn't realize that she wrote it.

"Going to Jackson" by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings

This is unbelievable. My favorite bluegrass couple covering my favorite country couple on a couple themed song. I guess it is couples night.
Of course, it isn't as good as the live version of Johnny and June going after each other at Folsom prison but that would be hard to top. Still pretty awesome.

"The Lab" Intro

Here is something I have been trying to get online for a while. Lightening can really mess things up.
Enjoy.

Uh- oh!

Once again we are without access to the net at home. We were hit by a lightning strike last week which burned up our USB ports on the computer. It didn't kill the computer completely but it is definitely scrambled up pretty bad.
It will be a while before we post pictures or video again. Maye we will just get a new one, who knows. See you all soon.

A New Spin on Praising Your Kids

I beg for every ones forgiveness on not posting in so long. I truly have no excuse. Just busy with life in general. We are all doing well here and looking forward to spring. The video camera is still acting wonky and I'm having trouble posting pictures lately. Who knows. I will have something up soon. Congrats Vicky on the great news. We will continue to pray for you guys down there.
In the meantime, check out this article (stolen from Waxyof course) which I found intriguing.

This is Funny

This is what I DO NOT look forward to. Make sure and stick around after the credits to watch the little boy act nutty. I stole this from Waxy as usual. I love kids.

Daddy "Director"

We have lots of updates in the works but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been granted a Director's account on Youtube. That means that I can upload videos that are over 10 minutes in length and a few other fancy extras, none of which really matter.
I uploaded the eating contest from this weekend's Concord Baptist Youth Retreat just to test the +10 minute "water". I will be releasing an editted version later with extra camera angles and all that but I just wanted to see how long it took to upload.

Yes, this video is 24 minutes long but make sure you catch Nick jumping in at the end and trying to conquer the final challenge.

First Haircut

Yeah, this was a little late considering he looked kinda shaggy. (just like his dad)A 2 year old shouldn't have to wipe the hair out of his eyes.
Luke was a great sport about the whole thing, not crying and sitting relatively still.
Stephanie has been cutting Mandy's hair for quite some time and just recently started cutting mine. (due in part to my regular hair person, Nadia,taking an extended trip home to Pakistan)
Stephanie is located in Hueytown at her shop called "Happy Hair". She does a great job and is real easy to talk to. She is highly recommended. Her # is (205)491-8600.

3 Years in Review Pt. 1

Okay, so this is a little looonngg. Oh well, I had a lot of fun putting it together. It is very difficult to make a photo montage movie that is worth watching and I am not sure if I pulled it off. Watch part 1 and then 2. They were originally one video but it was too big a file for Youtube so I had to split it.
The song/songs are Polyphonic Spree doing a live show on a morning radio show. They are just such a happy group.

3 Years in Review Pt.2

This is the second part. It starts off the same but give it a second. Too bad youtube only allows 10 minute videos or I would have left it together.

Luke and Eli on the Swing

I wish I had the video camera when we went over to Eli's house yesterday but the pictures turned out great. We played on the swingset right after luch Christmas Eve.(thus Eli's B-B-Que beard)
Merry Christmas everyone. (This is a present especially for Auntie Sunshine)

Luke in the Leaves

We raked leaves last week so Luke could play in them. I remember how they provided plenty of cushion when I was young. Not so much now. I think I broke something on my first "dive" into the leaves. Oh well, he enjoyed it immensly. I have found that the longer videos get less views so I cut this one short. I editted the song down to 2 minutes, all apologies go out to Sam Beam for chopping his music up.

Learning to Fly

We took a short helicopter ride while on vacation. Luke has always been obsessed with flying things so this was especially cool for him.

one bank

I have found the video again except this time it is on Google video. Still very, very sad.
