Saydee, left and Cannon, right. Doesn’t this make you want to take a nap?

Cameron, Mizin, Cannon and myself hiked the Welch-Dickey Trail Loop (4.4 mi.) on the first day of Spring (March 20th). The trip took us 4 hours and 2 attempts. At first we couldn’t figure out how to cross a river, and decided to walk around it. That landed Cameron is some pretty thick mud. Good [...]

Cannon our Australian Shepherd Taught Us Balloon Tap from D-Sign Graphics on Vimeo.

Another perfect Martin Luther King hookey day. Some of the best powder I’ve ever snowboarded.

3.4 miles round trip, and the temperature was a solid 30 degrees! Easily the best snowshoeing day of my life. We had a blast!

Merry Christmas from Cannon

Here our baby has transformed from a dot to a gummy bear, and now to a tiny human. As you can see, the baby already has Steph’s nose!

Halloween 2009, participants include Stephanie, Cameron, Rhonda, Rylie, Dave, Marissa, Matt, John, Jeremy, and myself.

Meet Cannon, our newest addition. He is a male Australian Shepherd and was born on 7/7/09. So far he is a great puppy, and has no problem walking off leash. He is also getting pretty good at playing fetch. Now if only Saydee doesn’t think he’s her latest/expensive chew toy. Wish us luck!

Today I decided to do something different, I decided to actually bake dog biscuits for Saydee (our Husky Hybrid – very low carbon foot print).
Here is a list of ingredients:
3.5 Cups of Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup of Cornmeal
.25 Cup Pancake Mix
1 Tablespoon of Honey
1 Tablespoon of Maple Syrup
1.25 Cups of Beef Broth
.75 Cups of [...]

Cameron had his first soccer game today, actually it’s tomorrow as the girls Softball Team had the same field scheduled. Either way, I was still able to snap this awesome photo of my boy. Too bad I forgot to have him untuck his shirt. It’s all good though. What a cool kid!

Yes he is named after Ozzy Osborne, however he was not named by us. The owners prior to us called him Ozzy. He was born on March 27th, 2009, and when we got him he weighed a hefty 425 grams. So far he is a very good bird, and has completed the cycle (3 cats, [...]

I had to post this one, as the story is pretty funny. First we drive by this covered bridge and Steph makes me turn around so she can take a photo. I was crabby, so I made a big deal out of it. She runs out of my car and up onto this bridge, snaps [...]

Steph, Cameron and I went hiking w/ the Giannini’s (spelling??) to Danforth Bay in Freedom, NH. This campground was beautiful. This photo was taken on the way back from Shannon’s Door. A place recommended to us by my father-in-law, however the atmosphere did not seem as stupendous as was portrayed on a TV show he [...]

Steph, Cameron, Logan and I went camping in the rain for our annual Independence Day/Engagement Anniversary camping trip. We got one day of camping in and were lucky enough to crash out at my in-law’s house in Lincoln, NH. We made the best of the soggy weather though by going to Clark’s Trading Post, to [...]

Today Cameron had his 10th (double digits) birthday. Steph and I got him a Trek 820 mountain bike. Hopefully he doesn’t grow too fast, and he can get some years out of this bike. Either way, Steph will get a nice hand-me-down once Cameron sprouts. Happy Birthday Cam. I love you.

Above is some artwork I did while the mood struck me. I’ve been working on designing a tattoo that incorporates my wife and son’s name, and while I would not put this whole piece on my arm, it is a start. Someday look for a sign to be posted as well. Please comment and let [...]

A good friend of mine (although I have not seen him in TOO LONG) was unfortunately injured in a motorcycle accident on January 31st. He suffered severe head trauma and has been in a medically induced coma since his accident. Please join me in supporting him and his family. Much Love to you Matt, I [...]

Stephanie and I went away to her parent’s rental house in Lincoln, NH for her birthday/ Valentine’s Day weekend. She gets spoiled around these times, although this year I could have done a little better. The highlight from me to her was a 2 hour snowmobiling trip trough Franconia Notch in the White Mountains. It [...]

This photo was actually taken way before I knew I was going to ask for her hand in marriage. She still continues to foon speed me from time to time. I love her just as much now, as I did back then. Funny how that can grow with time.
