Picking Some Vegetables
My wife and I had an amazing weekend together. To cap it all off, we were invited to pick vegetables from the overflowing garden of a friend of my mother-in-law. We gathered a few boxes and buckets and headed out to the farm in Eagle. Their place is gorgeous. They mentioned that they had hosted…

Rough Riding River Rafts
I shot some photos for a ministry in Banks last Saturday. On the way home, I stopped along the river long enough to take a few photos of the brave folks rafting down the rough waters of the Payette River. It looked like a ton of fun, and just a little scary. That last group…

Atlanta Idaho – August 2014
We spent the weekend in gorgeous Atlanta Idaho. I’ve traveled a little bit in my life, and I’ve seen some amazing places, but there are very few that can compare to the unspoiled beauty of God’s wilderness. Atlanta is a tiny little town of cabins surrounded by the wild river, green forest, and imposing and…

Ambrose Back To School Picnic 2014
in Family-
My little boy finally enters school. I am of course conflicted. He’s so little and I love him so much as he is, I really would love for him to always be my little tiny ball of energy and excitement. At the same time though, I’m thrilled to see his huge amount of brilliance and…

Camping At Whoop-Em-Up
My friend Mark and I needed to get out of town and enjoy God’s creation with our kids. We planned on doing this for a while, but still were ill prepared for some of it. We rode up together in my Durango. It seated us all fine, but when you figure in the food, clothes,…

Boulder Lake In August
We made a nice day hike on Saturday. Most of the family was riding up to Boulder Lake near McCall, Idaho in Tina’s Suburban, but if I went, we were one seat short. So I borrowed my dad’s Goldwing. What a fun ride! I was pretty tired when the day was over since my butt…

Off To The Races
My friend and his little boy joined Travis and I for a guys night at the Meridian Speedway. We stopped at KFC on the way for a quick dinner, then headed in for some car racing action. The boys were a little restless from time to time, but they seemed to love the speeding action…

Pond On Fire
I went to the pond at McMillan and Eagle to take a few photos as the sun went down on Thursday evening. I wasn’t disappointed. The sky was lightly feathered with clouds, just enough to soften the beautiful sun as it went down. The tall grasses around the pond added a little interest and the…

Hot Rods and Motorcycles
Travis and I went out to the 31st Annual Mustang and Ford show in Kleiner Park this morning. First though, we made a quick stop at the Yamaha shop on Fairview. Such a fun day with my boy. Tons of chrome and polished paint and shiny powerhouses. One of the things that really makes me…

Races At Meridian Speedway
My parents invited us all out to the races on Monday night. It had been many, many years since my wife or I had been out to the Speedway in Meridian. We were a little unsure how interested the kids would be and how they’d handle the noise levels. We were very pleasantly surprised. The…

A Quick Saturday Outing
in Family-
We took our silly puppy dog down to Petco this afternoon so he could play with some other dogs. I took the camera and got a few photos while Rawley played and the kids watched. On the way home we stopped and I got the kids an ice cream bar for being relatively well behaved.…

Change Can Be Good
in Personal-
This has been my office for almost 3 years now. Well, not this place specifically, but a pump room, electrical room, or something similar at various businesses around town. I’ve been working for Yamas Controls as a Building Automation Technician for a while now, but things are changing. I turned in my work van, keys,…
