“First” Day of School

By admin | Published: 23 Sep ’08

We didn’t take a picture on the first day of school, so we took one today. Haircuts were done yesterday. Mason’s isn’t the greatest. Violet’s is pretty darned cute though. This picture, also, shows off my Photoshop skills. It’s two different pictures merged in to one. I couldn’t get a good picture of them together, [...]

This Week at the Beesley’s…

By admin | Published: 21 Sep ’08

My favorite pictures of Mason are right after he wakes up. Mason doesn’t get to play with the “people” very often, so when he get the opportunity he makes the most of it.  He tries, occasionally, to play with Violet and Me (or Violet and Mom), but doesn’t quite get the whole “group play” concept. [...]

An Update…

By admin | Published: 1 Sep ’08

Colleen’s been working her butt off. I’ve been hanging out a lot with the kids… It’s a lot like squirrels saving up nuts for the winter, only it’s Colleen working on Debutante dresses and saving up dollars for the winter. In Colorado it seemed like bridal season lasted all year long, but here there is [...]

Complex Math Equation

By admin | Published: 22 Jun ’08

We’ve skipped the easy math flash cards. Here’s a couple of Violet working on some hardcore algebra problems… Notice Violet sporting the pony tail. She’s so stinking cute in a pony tail. She doesn’t nap much anymore, but when she does… Whooeey! Nearly three hours today. I ran her ragged at the park today, made [...]

Oatmeal Hair

By admin | Published: 22 Jun ’08

Mason gave himself an oatmeal hair treatment today at breakfast. It made his hair so shiny and curly. I would recommend it for anyone. Violet let me take a decent picture of her today. She’s so beautiful. She’s in to drawing monsters lately: Mason and Violet had fun in the water yesterday. He did a [...]

Mmm… Pizza

By admin | Published: 18 Jun ’08

My years slaving away at a Pizza Hut, before I got my wits about me and went back to school, really gained me a very important talent. If my wife demands a pizza when I get home from working a strenuous day sitting in my $650 Herman Miller Aeron Chair, I can do it, and [...]

Cabin 2008

By admin | Published: 15 Jun ’08

We made our annual trek to the cabin this past weekend. Colleen and Violet, both of whom had never been on a horse, got to ride a horse this weekend. Oliver is eleven years old and very mild mannered. Tim had hold of the reins the whole time. Colleen will be in charge of the [...]

Fettucini

By admin | Published: 6 Jun ’08

Big changes in the Beesley household this week. We bought a car booster seat for Violet, she just meets the criteria for sitting in the booster seat. Way to go, Violet, saving your parents money. Mason has graduated from his rear facing infant seat to finally facing forward. If you haven’t noticed he’s a bit [...]

More Iowa pictures

By admin | Published: 29 May ’08

I’m going to post one picture at a time and only offer brief nuggets of my trip to Iowa. At some point, I WILL gush about what a great mother my sister is and how proud of Max I am, but that day is not today. Just look at the picture for a while…

We had a field day…

By admin | Published: 14 May ’08

There were ponies, inflatable bouncy things, and snacks. Tonight, while sitting on the couch, I had a field day. Violet put her arms around my neck and said, “You’re the best dad ever!” Blew me away. You can click on any of the pictures above and you will be sent to flickr to see the [...]
