"Mecklaces"

Sometimes I think there are things that should go without saying. Unfortunately when something is not said I feel the need to address it on my blog. This way I can be assured that there is no confusion and then I don't have to mention it to anyone who may be an offender. If I offend anyone that is not my intent. I will apologize to every man wearing a necklace right now if you will also apologize for wearing one.

The Puka (Puke-a) shell necklace is GREAT for women... when they are within 10 miles of an ocean beach. It is NEVER ok for men to wear these. My brother Bart calls the guys that wear these "sup bros" they are usually seen driving Jettas and wearing K-Swiss shoes.

I don't know what these are called. Apparently men wear them because of this picture and it needs to spot. I think I have seem hanging things from them. Come on guys... not a good idea.

So this is what people look like when they wear gold chains... this is not a good look.

Almost like the gold but worn on the outside.

Any leather type necklace is bad for men... this is borderline Gothic.

Hemp! This was popular during the Curt Cobain era. Now you can pick them up at your local Pac Sun or Buckle. These can also be worn by "sup bros".

This is THE ONLY acceptable necklace to be worn by men. The military uses this for identification which means that it actually serves a purpose.

So remember the following are bad:

Fanny Packs
"Mecklaces"
and cell phones on belts!

Christmas Pictures

Okay I know these should have been posted earlier but better late than never right? These are in no particular order.

Here is Jake (my little brother) opening up a gift from us... look at the concentration!

This is my newest little cousin Jack. When he smiles you can't help smiling back.

Here is Jack with my uncle Kris. He loved this train.

Ok... I am aware that this picture is blurry and dark but I wanted everyone to see the moment I captured here... this is the first glance at the loot from the top of the stairs. Do you remember when you were a kid and feeling that rush of excitement?

Here is my Mom and Scott. I think this one came out awesome!

Well I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas this year... we sure did!

Happy New Year!

I know today is the 2nd day of January but I wanted to wish everybody a happy new year. We had a pretty quite new year in Idaho. We went up on new years eve and spent the night watching the ball dropping stuff. It was also freezing cold! I think it got down to the negative digits... it was supposed to be -10. The cold was also very nice to my battery in the 4Runner. The cold killed it! So that was part of the new years festivities. Other than than we had a pretty low key holiday.
