madisen playing JV for LAKE

Well it was last week that i took a day off from work and decided to travel up north to lake stevens to check out madisen playing on the JV team at Lake Stevens High School. I love the game of course so i had to catch at least one game before school starts in 6 days and i won't have any nights off. (LAME) So last thursday went up to amby's and rode with her and mads to her game and had a nice time hanging with my sis and checking out lake stevens high which i have never been to. It was a grerat game and madisen got the start which was dope! Also i love the fact that mads had the jersey number 4 which is what her big uncle Cole!!! had when he played in high school for the Vikings as well. (lake stevens' mascot is the vikings as well) the result was 4-0 and it was great to see a victory for the home team! Love you mads and i'm so proud your playing soccer in high school KICK ASS! also thanks amby for dinner after with you and clay. It was always quite tasty and a good time. I really wish i could make it up more often! check ya later ya'll

a couple of dave matthews pics

Hola! i just wanted to throw on two photos of marnae and bennett from dave matthews. I snuck my camera in after being rejected the second time at the gate. Apparently your really not suppose to bring cameras to the show but i did!!!! Funny story though, i had to stash the camera down my pants in the groin region and once i made it through finally, the camera came flying out the bottom of my pants only 20 yards from the gate. oh man i grabbed it quick and threw it back down there haha. always good times at dave!!!! ps sorry jared for booting your camera on the concrete haha.

the past two weekends have been gun crazy fun!

Ah hello there! long time no talk! well i have been enjoying the last of my summer before school starts with the excitment of shooting guns. My friend Drew has a gun of his own and his family owns the rest. I got to go shooting with him two weekends ago and this past weekend had wes and nick join me. we got to shoot a total of six differnet guns which was awesome. I have only shot a gun once before and it was only a few shots. This time drew and i went through around 1000 rounds two weeks ago and even more this past weekend! It was dope. Of course proper gun safety was practiced at all times!!! Down range!!!!!! it was it yeld out when noone is allowed to shoot. see even with beer in the mix we can be safe! The best part of going shooting though for me was being able to be in the middle of no where up on a mountain up some logging road. we were up on the hills above Plain washington and over looking lake wenatchee some 8 to 10 miles away. Pretty cool if ya ask me!
So i have never been too fond of guns as the are scary but with my boy drew around, there is more of an easy feeling towards them because i have someone with me who is smart and familiar with them. So shooting guns can be fun and not just terrifying! And by the way its def. not like the movies show! haha hitting a moving target is way harder than it looks haha. I had a hard time hittin a phone book with a shotgun only 10-15 yards away up about 15 feet in the air. So don't let the damn movies fool ya!
At night it was nice to relax out by the campfire on the wenatchee river where Drew's family has property over there on the river. It is some 10 mins away i think from matt lords property on the river.
So i had a dandy time shootin! AS well did nick and wes. This experience was nicks first time shooting a gun and it was hilarious to see because io loaded up a clip of 9mm and handed it to nick and on purpose didn't tell him he should have worn ear plugs and after the first to rounds he turns going nuts that it was so loud and his ears were ringing! haha then Drew yelled that he had to finish the clip before gettin plugs in haha. Always a good time. There was your initiation nick to the gun club with drew haha. I had experienced the same thing the weekend before.
Well all another post tomotrrow! talk to ya then. Peace and love
This would be when nick took his first shots! the pic. is small but haha no ear plugs(ps i think he said last night his right ear still is not the same.)
This is the view from the first weekend looking at lake wenatchee. It is further away than that as i was zoomed in as far as i far as it could.
A sunset shot from saturday night. lovely!
