Inherently Creative
Which came first? The chicken, or the egg? If you believe the Bible, and in God, then you have to believe that he created the bird, not an egg. He didn’t create Adam as an embryo and then wait for him to develop, so why would he do that with birds and lizards and anything…

Bogus Basin Hike on Memorial Day
Our initial intentions were to hike at Boulder Lake for Memorial Day this year. Unfortunately, we got reports of snow on that side of the mountain that would likely keep us from making it to the lake. We weren’t about to let a little snow keep up from hiking, but we decided to change the…

Snowshoeing At Redfish Lake
I went for a short day snowshoeing into Redfish Lake near Stanley, Idaho. I’ve been looking forward to it for a few weeks. I rose early, 4 am, and headed up through Banks, then Lowman, then Stanley, and pulled off at the Redfish Lake turnoff. I arrived at about 6:45 and the light had just…

Birthday Photobooth
The years march on. There are many evidences of the passing of time, but none so obvious as the aging of your children. And my precious little girl has turned 9. That means, that it’s been 9 years since I tucked her tiny little body into the car seat at the hospital for the first…

My niece Jaidyn was a part of her first swim meet last night. She did really well, and I think she’s hooked.

Guys Camping Trip – Bull Trout Lake
Went for a little camping trip with some friends this weekend. In an effort to enjoy myself, which I did, I left my camera in the bag more than I normally would. The weather was just perfect. We hiked some of the most beautiful country in the world, and I did take a few shots.

DIY Soccer Goals
The kids and I wanted some goals for our backyard soccer games. I thought it would be a fun little project for us this afternoon. They turned out really nice, so I thought I’d share. The whole set, including the glue only cost $30 for 2 goals. The goal ends up being about 5′ wide…
