Summary

Asher really enjoys his Wii Fit workout.

Ever since we got the newest Wii Fit, Asher has been really excited about all the new games that he can play. His favorite by far is one where your character is dressed in a chicken suit and you have to flap your arms to fly from platform to platform.

He really takes his arm-flapping, chicken-flying exercises seriously and even had to stop halfway through to get a drink (though, for some reason, his real thirst quenching beverage is milk).

Summary

A nice shot of the moon on a very clear night.

Tonight was one of the clearest nights I have ever seen. Interestingly, we also had a full moon tonight, and despite the 30 degree weather outside, I decided to head out and see if I could get a few shots of the moon with my 200mm lens.



After removing my fogged up lens filter and adjusting the camera settings a few dozen times, I was finally able to capture this shot of the moon.

Summary

Cheering on the Texas State Rugby team in the freezing weather.

Tonight we had the opportunity to go see Texas State play in the state rugby semi-finals. Despite the freezing weather, we all bundled up and headed down to campus to see the team square off in what turned out to be a fun game to watch.

Randi and Stella were in town as well and decided to tag along. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to stay longer than a half hour or so because we were all freezing. Well that and my camera’s flash batteries died prematurely.

Nevertheless, Texas State ended up pulling ahead and winning the game 20-12.

Summary

A friendly card game gets serious.

Despite its morbid title, Killer Bunnies is a really fun card game to play with friends. Tonight, we went over to Aaron and Katrina’s house for dinner and some games. Once we managed to keep Asher and Pollox (Aaron and Katrina’s puppy) from attacking each other, we were able to sit down and enjoy ourselves.

I thought I was doing fairly well, until I quickly became the target of everyone’s attacks and lost most of my bunnies. In the end and against my best efforts, Aaron emerged victorious.

Summary

A nice hike and a quick climb near Brig's house.

With Jill spending most of the day up at her office, Asher and I took Brigham up on the offer to come up to his house for the afternoon and play. While there, we all decided to go on a short hike on the trails just behind Brig’s house. For the adventurous 2 and 3 year olds, this trail had everything: sticker bushes, tall grass, sewer tunnels and even a retaining wall to climb.

Mason effortlessly made his way up the 10 foot rock wall without any assistance in no time at all. Asher, however, did require a bit of a help up the first part, but quickly took command of the top half and finished out strong.
