Evening with the stars

With the two of the biggest stars in the sport of wake boarding Shan, Chris, and I, had to go to the Evening with the stars and hang out with the celebs and get some swag. Scott Byerly truly a legend, I wear his shirts, shoes and he has helped shape the sport for sure a real cool guy. Super nice. And my favorite rider ever, Parks Bonifay, was nice enough to hang with us for awhile at the show, and afterwards at a near by sports bar. I was lucky to get a picture him and me, published in Wake board magazine, two years ago and he laughed when I told him about it at the show. They had the new twenty thirteen Malibu's with not one flat screen but two and a totally new consept...a surf gate to create a bigger wake than ever for surfing! Super fun night, thanks Active for your hospitality.

Twenty twelve, a summer to remember

Old pictures

Shan and I ran across these old photos and had to laugh. We wanted to share them with you. Parker cracks me up.

Norman and Chewy's Casa

So with summer over and the rains returning we needed to build a better area for the ever growing Norman and Chewy. We choose to build a lean-to on the back side of the shop because its well protected from the wind and rain. The boys helped setting the posts in concrete and Shan and I framed,roofed and sided it. It's not done yet but the kids are already using it.

Sadness

We are grieving here because of the loss of "Copper" our beloved Frog. Our best recollection is that we have had him since our family started. The cool thing about Copper is that he has always hung out with us... In the great room at our last house, and in our Living room here. Day after day and holidays too. The great thing about Copper is he hung out with us every night right here with us and he never barked, cried, begged, escaped, got in the garbage or had a accident on the carpet. This was a real tear jerker for sure from all of us. We don't know how he died. If he succome to cancer or old age, It's just hard to look over and not see him there anymore.
