I Take More Photos In The Summer

Yummy Yummy For My Tummy

I’m not sure why I take more photos in the summer…oh, I know…because taking photos when it is -15 with a -40 degree windchill sucks. [Read more...]

Summer Ribs, Make Me Feel Fine

I dream of these every night.

My iPad is making me fat.  Ok, not really, but these ribs will if I eat them as much as I want to.  I was strolling through CostCo and they had a couple slabs of baby back ribs for $14.  What a bargain!  Wait…I don’t know how to properly cook ribs!  In comes the iPad and the Epicurious app.  I love Memphis style ribs and there was the perfect recipe.   That along with some tips from the Weber app on the iPad had me prepared to take on this project.

The results were absolutely amazing.  Rich smokey flavor with ultra-tender meat.  I can’t wait to make them again.

Here is a link to the recipe.

Big Brother Jake

Jake & Halle - Click to Zoom

We went to Atlanta on Easter to visit with Jen’s brother and his family.  It was a fantastic trip and my inlaws showed us a fantastic time.

I was able to lug all my gear with me and take some cool shots.  Out of all the photos of Halle and Jake I have taken, this is hands down my favorite.

Jake’s First Show

This is my son Jake.  He is a rock star.  He may not have thousands of adoring fans and requests for television appearances, but he truly was a rock star in my eyes when he played his first show.  He was super nervous before the crowd of a little over 200 people, but once he got up there, he was addicted to the feeling.  After we got home that night he was on a major adrenaline high.

He is a student at The School of Rock Music in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and he is having a blast.  I am too.
