Boo!

Here I am again! Did I scare you? Hey, life has been busy but I decided to put out a new look and get you updated a little - at least for the one follower I have out there.



Here's a little look at one of Taylor's favorite things to do - sing with Liberty!
He really puts on quite a show in his little "singing shirt". Otherwise known as a sport coat!

We sang in a showcase at National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY this year. We had to run out to the bus to burn a track last minute - little nerve racking but we made it.

Here's the man- I can't believe he's four! By the way, he's all boy!
Here's my little 8 year old princess! She's a sweet little girl.

Diane and I started our own group (named E'LAN) and here we are in the studio laying down some background vocals to get ready for an event we sang at.

Liberty stopped in St. Louis on our way home from Kentucky and got to go to a Rams vs. Giants football game. It was cool - we got 100.00 seats for 10.00 from some dude cruising the streets trying to sell them! We were a little leary of their legitamacy but everything panned out fine and we got to enjoy half of the game in some great seats!

Taking in the ARCH.


Liberty just got back from singing at the Northwest Laymen's Retreat in Kimberly, British Columbia. It was gorgeous! Diane was able to go with me so that was even more enjoyable.

Here's the lodge we stayed in.


A shot with the love of my life.

I'm actually driving the bus right here and this beautiful girl came for a photo op! It's tough to be famous!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed the little update. Keep checking in, you never know when I'll get inspired!

Is It Worth Waiting For?

There are some individuals (Keith Waggoner) who can find the time to post on their blog nearly every day! My hat is off to the man - I'm doing good getting here once a month. But, be encouraged because I have some new pictures from our snow in Idaho to our California weekend trips. Here goes!
Taylor playing with his train set he got for Christmas. Why didn't they have things like this when I was a kid?
Diane has a new job working at God's Garden of Learning Daycare and Preschool. So that means she gets home after six - which in turn means I make dinner!! Exciting! Here I have some eager, willing helpers. Taylor is scrubbing potatos and carrots for me and Courtney helped pour stuff into pans. They do like to help me out with different things.

We have had probably the most snow in town except one other time when we first moved to Idaho. Taylor and I went outside on the big snow shoveling excursion. Everything went pretty good until Taylor started doing this stuff...


One of these times I caught some of his shovel of snow in the face! I was REALLY blessed!!

We headed to Ripon, CA for a weekend and sang in Sacramento, etc. Here is some of the snow we encountered on our trip there. This was around Truckee, CA.

We headed home for the week and then left again last night for a little "southern" California trip. This is around San Francisco. The island, mid-right of the picture, is the famous "Alcatrez" prison. I would love to tour this historical site but I'm afraid they would keep Dan and Royce.

A little better shot of the prison.

Heading across the bridge. I love these views!

The size of the cargo ships are incredible!


When we arrived at our motel, Dan and I scrubbed up the bus to give it a better look for our weekend of concerts. Keith and Royce, well -- they headed for the rooms.


I hope you enjoyed the little pictoral update. I'll try to get back a little more often. Peace out!
