Call + Response

I just watched this trailer for this movie, and I am very intrigued.. It reminded me of something that xxxchurch.com did a while back here in Redding, CA.. Wow.. watch it, see the movie when it come out.. I don't even know what to say.. Wow!.

P.S.
The beginning is a little weird, but watch the whole thing..

the Dark Knight

So I finally got a chance to see it.. and it was good.. I was really skeptical because there was a ton of hype, but it was all true. The only thing I would say about it is some parts moved kind of slow, and there were a few places in the plot of the movie that I had trouble following, but overall a really good movie. I would totally recommend seeing it if you haven't..

It really made me want to go back and watch the older Batman movies. Maybe not the one with Arnold.. Anyone else want to try and track them down and watch them?

Also the Joker [Heath Ledger] made this movie..


Poll: How many of you saw this movie.? What did you think.?

why i don't have a scooter..

So last night we went over to Marty and Becky's house for a BBQ.. I brought the Cornhole [6 players, and 30ft of level ground is all you need to play.. just call and invite us.] We played, we had fun.. After it got dark, and the games were put away.. We decided to start riding Marty's scooter around the neighborhood.. Now these are not normal scooters, they are like mini motorcycles, like beefed up mopeds.. Anyhoo.. I decided that I would give it a try.. Well I had sandals on, and I was not wearing a helmet.. very dumb.. So I jumped on it and started riding up the hill, and when I got to the top of the hill I tried to turn around, and didn't really make a wide enough turn.. I got scared and forgot about the brakes, I think that I actually gave it more gas [you know how you do that some times when you want to brake..] I hit the curb and I flew off of the bike.. and the bike landed on me. If I think about what really happened, it was like I sort of fell to the side and the bike fell with me.. Anyway I got a few bruises and some scrapes, but no really damage.. I am very lucky.. I will think twice about doing something like this again.. Here are some pictures of my injuries.. Hip, elbow, hand, leg..

funny stuff.

I just watched this really funny thing.. Check it out.. wow.. I got the tip from this guy..

Life Group BBQ..

So last Monday our life group had a little BBQ, or goal was just to have fun, and try and spark conversation with our neighbors.. I think we had fun, and we did get to talk to a few neighbors.. and of course we had the cornhole set out and we played until the sun went down.. Here are a few pictures, and you can see more on my flickr page.. Let me know what you think..






P.S.
If you have a backyard, and maybe a pool or BBQ, we can bring the fun [cornhole]..

theLains

So the Lain's were in town this last week and I took a few pics of them, let me know what you think.. This family is going to be heading to Mongolia to be missionaries for the next few years. You can read more about it on their blog.. Please pray for them.

my bride.

So today is Bethany's birthday, she is turning 27.. I can't believe that I came out to California almost 5 years ago, and met this amazing woman of God.. It feels like we have known each other forever, and I can't even think of life without her.. I love her, I care about her, I need her.. If you don't know her, do yourself a favor and get to know her.. She is great with kids, she loves people, and she is an amazing wife.. I love the way that she cares so much for our son Josiah, and how much she cares about me too.. I just wanted to let the world know that I thank God daily that he brought me into Bethany's life.. I love you babe..

We went to dinner at the River's resturant, it was good, I am not one for fancy type places though.. Bethany ordered the Swordfish, and I got a Kobe beef cheeseburger.. And for her

 birthday that gave her this crazy smoking ice cream dessert.. Fun stuff.. 

I also got her the once soundtrack.. Great movies as well..

P.S. I put a card on Bethany's blog, that you all can go and sign.. here!!

It has begun..

Well for years now I have wanted to get this game out to the west, and now, thanks to this guy, I finally had a chance to create a set and get people playing.. I would like to introduce everyone to CORNHOLE.. It is called that because you take a small bag filled with corn and throw it through a 6" hole cut out of a board.. It is a very fun game, and very addicting.. I will have my set created on Monday and I will start to spread the addiction soon.. BBQs, swim parties, days at the park.. Where ever there is a level stretch of about 30' or so, you will see this game wherever I am..

Trust me, we were hanging out with this guys family for the 4th of July weekend, and introduced this game to them, and they not only loved it, but became very competitive and a little rowdy..

revamp..

Here are a couple more versions of some of the pictures I took..



Let me know what you think..
As soon as it clears up a bit we are going to be taking some family photos as well..
