I am the proud father of a 1st grader
I am the proud father of a 1st grader
Well today was the last day of kindergarten for my big guy. It seems like just yesterday we were taking pics of him walking into school with his backpack on for the first time. Today was their "Kinderfriend Day" which is a mini graduation of kindergarten. They are the class of 2020.
It was also a pretty sad day as well, it was his last day at his current school. This past year Cam has been at an AWESOME school but with budget cuts and dumb people not believing in our kids future (can you tell I am a little bitter) he will be shuffled to a new school next year with 28+ kids in his class. Cam does not do well with change and he truly loves the staff at his current school so it will be a big adjustment for him next year to go into a new school with all new kids and staff.
I am so proud of how he has grown over the last year, you did an awesome job bud. Welcome to 1st grade!

Ox Trot
Our community has started this really cool project to help raise money to keep art in school. What they are doing is making all these Ox and then business are sponsoring them and such. There are 30+ Ox in the community, everyone is really cool. Check them out CLICK HERE :) I am going to make it a goal to get a picture of my kids by everyone of them.
Here is one of my favs so far he is in-front of the Scuba Diving shop here in town. The sun was at a really bad angle so I think we will re-shoot this one but it will be neat to see them all.

What a great weekend
What a great weekend. We spent the weekend out at the campground hanging out. Darc thought it was going to be an ordinary weekend with nothing much going on. Little did she know that I had conspired with her best friend earlier in the week for her to come down from Fargo and hang out with us for the weekend. Anna and I had it all planned out and we did not tell Darc she was coming down. Saturday afternoon she was sitting on the deck when Anna showed up. She was so surprised and excited that she came. It was good for them to get some “girl” time. We even managed to get our first hay ride of the season. The boys were exhausted by the end of the weekend. What a great time.

Sidewalk Chalk
Boy five years ago I would have said "NO WAY" on sidewalk chalk. Now as a dad it is pretty cool. The neighbor girl came over and was playing with the boys and showed them a really cool trick. If you soak the piece of sidewalk chalk in a bucket of water it turns into a paint sort of. It goes on so smooth and thick and the colors are GREAT!
Spring
A sign of spring. As we drove past one of the biggest lakes in MN a few nights ago this boat caught the corner of my eye... What a great thing to see... The water is open and the boats are ready to go.

Mothers Day
Happy Mothers Day!
Here are a few of the AWESOME projects the boys made for mom this weekend.
Darcy, you are such a wonderful and amazing woman. I could not imagine a better mom in this world for our two boys. Thank You for everything you do for us!

ALF
Well I had forgotten all about this little guy ALF. I was reading a post on 2peas and Kristined started talking about ALF. I had to run over to Netflix and order the first season. We started to watch ALF on Friday night and boy did our kids think it was funny, I have never seen them laugh so hard. WOW 1986… I can’t believe it was that long ago ALF was produced. I feel really really old. I do have to say it was a lot of fun to watch, it brought back a ton of really cool memories. I can’t wait to get the next few seasons.

I Love Cheetos
Tonight was Manly Monday while mom worked. Usually on Manly Mondays we go to grandmas house and hang for a bit. Tonight grandma was a little tied up so the boys and I decided to swing by the camper and hand out there. We made our self a little picnic lunch and had a good time. Cameron dung into the Cheetos. He loves those things, he kept asking why we can not pack those in his cold lunch for school lol.

3 Days Left....
Until my Biggest Looser challenge is over. I have lost some weight but not like I should have. I really slacked off towards the end but when life gets nuts it is easy to let things slip…

Camping...
Well I have been MIA lately. Between work, fixing computers and doing photo shoots I have had 0 time for my POTD. This past weekend we were able to sneak away camping for the first time of the year. We live in this great state and ended up getting 4” of snow at the campground on Sat. We did get the deck built on Friday but we got soaked with all the rain we had, but we survived! The boys pretty much lived in their snow pants all weekend long.

Yard Work...
We went to grandmas last night and Cameron decided that he needed to do a little yard work. He started out leaf blowing and then went to trying to cut down a tree :) I can not wait until he is a little older to start mowing.

Oh A Little Pug
Sorry guys, I have been slacking with my POTD lately.
Yesterday we had a session with two pugs, a black and fawn one. I was really stressing over getting the lighting right with the black pug. We really over shot just to be on the safe side. I feel we got some really great pictures, we have not had a chance to go through all of them but I saw this one and had to post it (it is SOOC). Poor Olivia was getting tired :)

Seven Days
Well we only have seven days left until we will traveling by this guy on the way to the campground. Yes next Friday is the opening weekend for camping! We are so pumped and can not wait to get other to do some relaxing. I love the way we “camp” they have a pool and hot tub along with so many other fun things for the kids to do. It is so nice to get away on the weekends
**** Edit for those that have been asking here is the size of the fish compared to my boys****

25 ways to tell if you have finally grown up
I may be getting old but I am still cool! I listen to KCLD
Here are some of my random thoughts on these, see if you can keep up with my randomness :) Jason's random thoughts are in RED!
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. Hmmm that's not me, we have no plants and NEVER smoked anything....
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. There should always be a ratio of Beer to food just don't know what it is.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. I have always gone to bed early, maybe I am just a geek... I hate staying up late.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator. Ahhh I live in a small town no elevators
6. You watch the Weather Channel. I LOVE the weather, you have to watch it living in MN you need to know what winter coat to wear!
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up". Hey I am cool, I still use those words, maybe not in the right context but they are in my vocabulary.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. True that!
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." But when you gain weight and that is all you have, it works for me.
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next
door won't turn down the stereo. Damn kids!
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. I am ok with it but my wife is a little mortified by relatives telling sex jokes.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. Never knew in the first place, but their border fries RULE.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. It is the economy right?
14. You feed your dog/cat Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers. Hmmm McDonald's I could really go for a quarter pounder and cheese right now...
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. I love sleeping on the couch, our bed sucks!
16. You take naps from noon to 6 PM. Sleep is good for the body!
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. It is the economy right?
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach. That sounds like a great breakfast!
19. If you're a girl, you go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." What is with this wine stuff, who drinks wine now days?
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to..." replaces "I'm never
going to drink that much again." I made one mistake at a company Christmas party and NO one will ever let me forget it, sorry guys the company does not have parties anymore.
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. If you call "peaing" work sure!
24. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate her instead of asking "Oh S*$#! What Happened!?!?!?! LOL
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

Corn....
Well today was NUTS and tonight we were busy setting up for a garage sale that we are having this weekend so I did not shoot today at all. I was just going through some pictures of last summer and came across these and they made me laugh. Cameron LOVES corn!

A Little Train Action
We were on the way to Steve and Shari’s house and we got stopped at our intersection because a train was stopped. After waiting a while I ended up going a different direction. Here is what I found at the other end of the train. It was pretty windy here today and one of the crossing arms snapped. I grabbed my camera and got some shots of the train going through the arms… Man I wish the train could have been on the other side of the tracks, the lighting would have been so much better :o)

Cam Sitting On A Rock!
Today was nuts, needless to say I did not get to get out and shoot today. This is a picture from a week ago Saturday…. Now there is nothing but SNOW everywhere you look. This week is suppose to be in the 50’s and 60’s all week so I am praying it will be gone by the end of the week. We have 10 days until our first camping outing… I think it could be interesting :)
