playing with his friends…

Jamie and I have been watching the Olympics pretty intently this year. It’s almost time to go to bed (about to turn midnight), but a lot of the good stuff doesn’t come on until late…I’m gonna pay for this in the morning.
Well, I never posted any of our cruise photos…but I guess it’s better late than never…although, just a few weeks time have passed and already Braden looks older than he did on the cruise….he even has two teeth now.
Everyone (including Braden) had to do the mandatory lifeboat drill. Notice the green ankle band in case we misplaced him.
I got to go on a four-wheeler tour of Mexico’s Wine Country…which basically was one small town and a winery.
Vacation pictures are still on their way…
Phil Wickham thought that I had a really cute son…so he put him on a promotional poster…can you find him?
one curious talent that I’ve always considered my own, is the ability to find random look-alikes.
to showcase this talent (is talent the right word?), i have decided to start posting them when I see them (look-alikes, that is)
LOOK-ALIKE EPISODE #1
STEVE NASH vs. JACKIE EARLE HALEY (the tough kid from Bad News Bears)
Being the proud father that I am, my blog often turns into an online photo album of my son…

These were taken about a month ago by Danielle McEntee, a friend of Jamie’s. Unfortunately, on this day, Braden was not the most cooperative little guy. But she took some great pictures anyway. She has started her own photography company, Dani Mac Photography. She also has a blog. Check her out.
My positive post series has been pretty non-existent…(does that mean it has been neutral?)…so I’m going to fix that and bring back a little positivity.
My wife and I have been married for nearly four years now (June 26th…I haven’t forgotten) and to be real honest with you, the viewing audience, they have been the best four years of my life…(that’s right, even better than high school). So I just wanted to gush a little bit about how awesome my beautiful wife is. She is a ridiculously super-mom. Braden and her have been the best of friends for about seven months now.
Month #1
Month #7
When I get home, they are usually playing and you can tell that he loves his mom a lot already. He usually wakes her up at the crack of dawn (5:45-6:15ish) but she is always excited to see him and they get an early start on playtime.
Jamie can be pretty quiet around most people, but at our house she makes me laugh daily…nay, hourly. Her sense of humor is dry, sarcastic and really funny. Even Braden has been laughing at her lately….see here: 
I could go on and on about her incredible work ethic or her humble attitude, but I think that I’m already gonna be in trouble for writing this much about her…
I did want to add…although she didn’t want a single person to know about this….Jamie was recently inducted into the Athletic Wall of Honor at Fresno Christian. She really deserved this honor because she absolutely is one of the best soccer players that I’ve ever seen….and although this doesn’t necessarily qualify her for any other awards, you have to trust me when I say it….
If you took a bunch of different sports…maybe eight to ten….and had the very best female athletes in the world compete at all of them….I honestly think that she’d win…I know that sounds crazy, but she can play any sport better than you…I guarantee it.
You should read more about the Wall of Honor and check out her accomplishments.
In closing, my wife rocks…I love her very much
Gene sent me this awesome photo today…it is now one of my favorites.
after a nearly two month hiatus…i am back with a vengeance and an all-new supersized episode of braden photos…
this photo session took place yesterday afternoon when i got home from work…unfortunately, jamie decided that after we were done taking pictures she would fling the camera out of her hands and onto our concrete driveway…the camera perished…fortunately, the pictures did not.
and without further ado…
i was excited to wear my new huckabee rock shirt today…
