My blogging man card has been taken

Well as many of you have seen that Kim decided to change the look and feel of our blog. Slowly but surely pink is overtaking my life and I must succome to the fact that my testosterone is being drowned out by Estrogen. That's ok. A happy wife = a happy life right?

Well I just wanted to show you all my anthem now that I'm a dad and maybe this will create some manliness on the blog. "Its the Dad's Life"

A photo shoot...

Ernie and I are VERY camera happy… Ernie more so than me! We take pictures of our darling daughter all the time. The camera is always within an arms reach for those perfect picture moments. She will probably grow up to hate the camera or totally love it. Either way, I don’t think we’ll stop anytime soon! Here are some of my favorite pictures of Ella Bella!

July Birthday Celebration!

Today we celebrated the July birthdays in our family by going to Cherry Creek Reservoir for a little fun in the sun! We boated, played a little Frisbee, and ate some great BIG cupcakes. It was the perfect day to go because it was 100 degrees. The reservoir was a perfect 76 degrees, which made it feel really good on a 100 degree day. Ella did well by napping most of the day and also taking in the sights and sounds of the reservoir! Happy, happy birthday to my Mama, Uncle Bruce, and cousin Jason! Let’s celebrate the same way next year!

Old Glory celebrates her Birthday

Yesterday was a rocking day as we celebrated the 4th of July at the Bosch cabin up in Indian Hills. This is always the best party in all of colorado and it was a riot to see everyone and their kids just celebrate by hiking, wiffle ball, eating, and of course fireworks. The weather wasn't the best conditions but we were able to get everything in that we needed to. What a great time! Enjoy the video.

Futbol and Fun

This past weekend I really wanted to experience watching a world cup game at a good old fashion American pub. Where the locals who actually watch football know what they are talking about. Now I have to say that I like watching soccer but I'm not fanatical like some people. On Saturday when the US played Ghana my friend Ryan and I went down to the British Bulldog early (We got there at 6:30 am) to watch the game. Good thing we got there that early because we woudn't have got into the pub if we got there later. Let me just say that I have a new found respect for American Soccer fans. The place was packed with cheers,chants, songs, painted faces, flags, drums, and yes even some Vuvuzela's. It was awesome to watch a game in that environment and I'm now a fan for life. Maybe it's time to plan a trip to Brazil for the next World Cup (hopefully the US does better next time).

It was nice to see the country United behind one good cause and I'm sad that we lost but here is a little taste of what I experienced and for 120 minutes we all were best friends without any differences. Just rooting for a country that we all love! This is a video of the reaction right after Landon's Penalty kick. Good times had by all! To bad we didn't win but I have to tell you that this experience made a believer out of me that Soccer can be big in the States if we can just get over that hump. USA! USA! USA!
