Merry Christmas!

By admin | Published: 19 Dec ’08

Okay, a bit of business first. Working in corporate America, I am worried about my job. I work for a large, building materials supplier, we have seen our business decrease drastically over the last several years, laying off thousands and closing about 100 of our locations. There’s a plan out there to help the situation; [...]

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 [...]

Howdy, Stranger…

By admin | Published: 26 Jul ’08

Well, Hello Blog. How’s it been? Been a little crazy around here, haven’t really had much time to give this thing much thought. Bridal season is in full swing. Colleen MADE a dress today. I played with my kids. Work is crazy. Working in the building materials industry is not a fun place to be. [...]

Wading Pool Afternoons

By admin | Published: 13 Jul ’08

In the bathroom last night, Mason pulls something out of a drawer and says, “Look at that. Wow.” Said it like three times in a row, so we weren’t just hearing things. Wow, look at that. Said it all day today. After an hour or so of running around the front yard, going for a [...]

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 [...]

Mushroom

By admin | Published: 3 Jun ’08

There are very large mushrooms growing in my backyard. I went in the backyard to take pictures of them and now my legs feel itchy. I think it’s all in my head, but last year I wiped out a bunch of poison ivy. I’m sure there’s some back there, but I think I avoided it [...]

My Birthday

By admin | Published: 31 May ’08

I have a wonderful family. We woke up early. I mowed some of the yard. Colleen got the ribs ready for me to grill. I’ve never grilled ribs before, I don’t grill much. They turned out rather tasty. Colleen was told a couple of time the potato salad she made was the best ever. Pretty [...]
