Hope for a Championship!

My softball team (Hope 4) made it to the Championship game, but lost to one of the gospel writers!

Room for Rent

Nate has officially moved everything out of the room, which means this room is now available. Anyone on board?

Yksi kaksi kolme.

Yksi kaksi kolme.

The Mouse Chronicles, Vol 3

Got him today! My first mouse ever! I am a little sad, I mean I've let other mice be before. But I guess with those mice, we just clicked!

The Mouse Chronicles, Vol 2

I heard the little squeaker in the attic as I was trying to fall asleep last night, so poison it is! And no, I'm not trying to be discrete.

The Mouse Chronicles, Vol 1

I saw a mouse run behind my oven today. That means it's time for me to catch my very first mouse (besides plastic colorful ones...)

500 Loss

Tracy and I went out the back door at -640, as can be seen here. What can't be seen here is Craig's left eye. But yes, Allyn and Craig rocked us!

New Counter Install

And today we will be reading from the book of Laminations.

Clown Car

I love my Camry! I easily fit everything here into one Camry carload! And that's no joke!

Date Night

Me and Erica on a date night! I tried raw oysters for the first time---Erica's always getting me to try new things! By the way, do you like the waterfall in the background? It's a little funny.

Two happy hours with two happy friends

We went to a first happy hour at B-Dubs and stayed so long that we went to a second one at Old Chicago! It was wild!

It's sweaty outside.

Me after mowing the lawn. Oh the humidity!

I have a problem.

My name is Aaron and I'm a popoholic.

Cookie!

Cookie! (2:13)

Thundercats!

Midnight to dawn biking crew had some time to paws for a picture! We decided to call ourselves the Thundercats, as evidenced by the cat claws.

Nelson Family Portrait

Eric and Alisa (pictured middle) got married today! On a side note, I also did my first flip over a playground bar! Notice how Ralph is standing like a sumo wrestler in this picture. (If you don't know who Ralph is, she is the one standing like a sumo wrestler. But I think we should change her name to Asashōryū Akinori.)

Blackjack!

A medium rare occasion in which Sean and I both won!

Wolf Golf

I played "Wolf Golf" for the first time today. Not too great!

Birthday Cone

For my mom's birthday, the kids (and respective families) all took a bike ride to DQ and mom got a candle cream cone! What did the rest of us get? None of your beeswax!

Bustin' the Hammock

Sorry Jordan and Emily! I just made a banana split!

The Qur'an

I bought this today at Barnes and Noble so I can learn more about Islam. The Qur'an r'an r'an, the Qur'an r'an.

Empty Fridge

Kind of sad, actually. I mean, it's cool that there's so much room free on the shelves.

Settler Champ

This was Britnee's first time ever winning Settlers! And yes, we did have to settle'r down after the victory--she almost bought this shirt!

Side View Sunset

This is a nice Iowan sunset on the way to Cedar Rapids, IA. Luckily this in the passenger side view mirror, so the image is not closer than it appears---it is exactly how far away it appears!

Brown is the New White

The cupboards are now repainted nutmeg brown from their original white. Be careful, or you might get maced!

Strawberry Pie

Grandma made a delicious strawberry pie with fresh-picked strawberries! I told her she should also make a door jamb!

Check Engine

Never a good sign. It turns out that piston 3 was never firing. So, I fired piston 3 (and replaced him)!

Lone Chicken

But just make sure you pay him back on time!

Ri-DQ-lous

Who can resist a Blizzard by boat on a hot day in the summer? Not British footballers!

Big Island

Big fun on Big Island! And that Big Fire didn't make itself!

Caw! Caw!

A blaze of lightning! A wind turned cold! Beware the power of the rook. The eerie black bird can make all the difference. Of course, Wick as a partner can also make the difference. Perhaps Eric and Ashley lost because of their allegiance to eagles.
