Happy New Year

I thought I would put a few pictures up in case anyone out there actually looks at this blog. I noticed that the last post was some September fishing. Wow, that was a while back. Okay, here are some sweet Christmas break pictures.

Roman loves his new tool bench. He was in love with the tools as soon as he saw them. Especially the chain saw.



He loved the present thing. He got tired of opening them so he became the delivery boy. He loved picking them up and taking them to people. Too bad he doesn't read yet or it might have been efficient!





Because Whitney is the craftiest person around, and because Roman loves "blue's clue's" more than anything, Whitney made him a whole pile of stuff for him. Impressive I must say. He did not put down the "Handy Dandy Notebook" for two days!



Grandpa and Grandma Robinson got Roman a portable dvd player for long trips in the car. Excellent time watching the Wiggles and Blue while other people watched real tv.



I just like this picture, no reason other than that Roman is sure a cute kid.



Roman loves to come to jobsite and "help" dad.


Here is Roman with another of his favorite Mommy made toys. It's a money like the ones on a certain episode of blues clues, those darn monkeys keep jumping on the bed!
Whit did quite the job of making that monkey. Roman is quite protective of the monkey too, pretty funny.



And just another cute picture of the little man. What a kid. These are definately the best times in a car.



Okay that is all. I will end for another couple months.

excellent fishing times

I stopped for a little lunch time fishing on Monday and landed this huge rainbow, the biggest (not including pike) fish I have ever caught. That nice shoe is 14 inches long, so take a guess at how big the rainbow is. Man, that fish was a big time fighter. my heart was beating!!!!



Later that evening, Kurt and i went back and we did not bad. We each caught one. This one was 14 1/2 inches, a great little rainbow. he was a real fighter too, which makes it fun.




Kurt caught this one on his 3rd cast. It was 20 incher or so.

My little family

As requested by Lani, here is a post with some pics of my family. Since some people have not been around this area for a while now or contacted me when in the area, I will post some pics of my handsome man and my wife.

As the picture shows, we really struggled with giving the first haircut.

The mullet was awesome while it lasted. Grandparent complaints became too much to stand so the hair came off.


oh, and yes he wants to be outside all the time, so much that it is a constant thing to have him come grab a finger and drag you over to the gate and point down the stairs. grrrrrrrrr


Then during this summer we thought he needed a cooler (as in temp) haircut so the mohawk was mid-cut. Then, more complaints let that only last one day.

Now he is a buzz like his dad.


And now he has a car. His favorite uncle, Uncle Bryan, gave him one from his plentiful toy lot.




Sorry, no family pictures to post. I will refrain from putting my pic on here, hate to scare to many people.
Will post a family pic when we have one.

Five Years!!!!!!

Whitney and I celebrated our fifth anniversary on Friday. It is crazy that we have been married for this long, yet doesn't seem too long. So here's to my wonderful wife!!! I love you.

Check out that picture! Five years just destroyed my hair, oh well, bald is beautiful.

Finished Projects

Well, both are done and into the house, used daily. I guess I will put some pictures up of them too.


Roman loves the toy cupboard. All this toys are just waiting there for him to rip out and throw on the floor! He loves that!



Whitney has filled the wardrobe as quick as we carried it into the house. Both turned out pretty well I think.






Hopefully these will keep Whit happy for a bit so my list of furniture resto items can slim down a bit! I'm hopeful but doubtful.

New Projects - sad stage

Here are a couple of the new projects that Whit has for me to work on. It is a never ending search for the perfect furniture!

TOY CUPBOARD

Whit's dad got this from somewhere, we are going to use it as a toy cupboard. hopefullly it will look better when finished.




WARDROBE

A wardrobe that whit bought a bit ago. It is just a shell, so this one will take some work to put a bottom in it, some shelves, a divider between the sides and then paint it all up. But it's tall (the top of it is at eye level for me) and pretty cool so in the end it will be worth it.




inside view, doors open!



that's all for now.
the finished pics will follow. this week hopefully!

It's Almost Spring Pike Time!!!!

I am getting excited because it is almost the best pike fishing time of the year! It is almost "Top water Pike" time. These lures are the greatest time to use. The pike come flying out of the water to get a hold of them and it sometimes takes your breath away. Seriously!
