operation contact joe tingey

Jackson and his friends launched a facebook campaign to contact their friend Joe who had been incommunicado for a while. To complete this operation we met the Scruggs' and Lawrence's in Dallasii this weekend to hang out and to see Joe and meet his fiance. It was a roaring success.

Proof that Joe is alive and well at Costa Vida.

We ate out, hung out and spent what little time was left sight seeing. The girls sent the boys home to play Mr. Mom while we went to Footloose. It was wonderful watching a chick flick without Jackson making it a "comedy" with his commentary.

We went to check out Cowboy Stadium and the Texans Stadium where the World Series is currently being played. The gift shop was the only part of Cowboy Stadium we could see without paying a small fortune.

So we made the most of their foam products.

We rented a house to optimize time spent together, it was awesome. We had a dance off with the Wii. It was a highlight of the trip. I was the only person who had had the privilege of seeing Jackson dance. And mind you these were his high school friends, they have known him forever.

Emily killed it, which was even more impressive than it would normally be given that she is 8.5 months pregnant.

A couple of random pictures. The finished 10 generation chart and Jackson trying to find his inner Texan.

Jackson is getting on my case for not posting for a while. Here are some old pictures. Mostly from my phone.

Two completely random pictures taken by Jackson. I think the first is showing how much we got rid of during the move. The second is Hobbes' vampire tooth which Jackson is fascinated by.

I spent several days spray painting furniture this summer. Hobbes likes to hang out in boxes.

This one is really old. I got really bored at work once.

I dream of Frita Banditos every day. I swear I do. Anyone want to mail me one?
