I recently purchased a new video camera, the Canon XH-A1, microphone and lighting system to work on a project that I've had in my mind for several years now. I needed to test out the equipment and couldn't imagine a better subject matter than the boys.
This site allows you to view and see what is happening in our little part of the world. I will share stories of the kids and even a few personal thoughts of mine as I, like most people that have ever raised a kid, struggle with them and figure out what it means to be a parent.

Oh, ya, my other boys go to school too!
OK, so the first kid always gets a lion's share of the press and attention. I should know. I was third in line and always got the hand-me-downs and no lovin'. Alright, that's not true. I was the only boy and spoiled rotten and got everything I wanted.
Anyhow, back to the reason for this post. Jason got a video but I had to get a picture of Joshua and Jonathan at their desks. In my defense of doing more for Jason than the other two, if I had taken my video camera into Joshua's and Jonathan's classes, they would have been mortified. So, I'm sticking with the quick photo on my iPhone approach.
In case you're wondering, I didn't ASK Jason if I could bring my video camera to the middle school walk-through. And, I did notice I was the only parent with a video camera.
They are adorable sitting their desks. The boy sitting next to Joshua is his best pal these days, Colton Bontke.

Jason Goes to Middle School
As the old saying goes, "Its amazing how quickly time flies." Jason starts Middle School today. We visited the campus on Saturday and got a glimpse of what his life in Middle School will be like.

Bowling with the Boys ... and a friend
Joshua had one of his friends over to spend the night. To start the visit off right, we went to Whitewood Bowling lanes and tried our hand at becoming the next, great bowling sensation. Needless to say, the members of the PBA have little to fear from us.
Here's the vid ( as Jason likes to call them )

Floyd Goes Wild
It was an ordinary day in Abilene, just like it often is in small towns around America. The weather was warm and enjoyable. Family had stopped by for dinner. Everyone was having a good time. Then, it happened. The one things that no ordinary citizen of this small town would have expected: Floyd got wild.
It wasn't the normal kind of wild you might expect from most men. It was the kind that leads most of us to wonder who or what is really in control. How does a seemingly ordinary man suddenly shed all inhibitions and began acting like nobody has seen him act in a very long time?
The only answer can be ... Wii. It was Wii bowling to be exact. And life as we know it will never be the same. There's a sign post up ahead. It is The Twighlight Zone.
