Christmas '09

It's Christmas time again!

This year is especially
nice since we've had alittle
more seasonal weather.












The lite show was scaled back
a bit this year as several decos
stopped workin.







The cats were
not impressed.







This is the result of poor
footing in the attic.
Notice the previous "misstep"
from two years ago.





Merry Christmas to all!

Cake & Candy

Various pics of Lil S's b-day party a few weeks ago and some shots taken by the wife (notice her deft picture taking skills) from Halloween.







It was quite a haul!

Halloween '09

It's that time of year again; a time for spooks, ghosts & goblins...and of course, The Havic "somewhat toned-down" Halloween Decos. Hey, it IS a recession after all.




Be afraid...be
very afraid.






Or maybe not so much...

Gratuitous Post

Gratuitous: not called for by the
circumstances, unwarranted.

Pretty much sums up this thread.




Best show ever!







Say hello to my
little friend.








Run for your lives!








Trend setters...
just wait, you'll
see.



Harry Potter's got nothin
on us.

Ten Years To AARP

Last saturday was my wife's 40th birthday; a milestone b-day to say the least. So I decided to surprise her w/ family & friends on....sunday. But inorder to "sell it" the kiddos and I had a little birthday celebration for her saturday.


The saturday head-fake. Notice the sm cake,
cards and one gift (a dated DVD).
Dev even excused herself right afterward to
go to a friends b-day party :)




Then, after church sunday, we sprung the surprise!

The bonus surprise...
Summer's best friend Mary
came up from Baytown.





Happy birthday again, honey!

Rebecca Creek

The other day I was out near Canyon Lake and came across a spot that the family and I used to frequent. They've closed most of it off now to exploring and fishing, so I thought I'd capture it in some pics.

First Green Job

Ok, so I'm hitting golf balls the other day and I notice that the putting green at this particular range looks alittle..well...shoddy. So I talk w/ the owner and he agrees to let me paint it. Here's the results. I should mention that I was low on GreenLawnger (the grass dye) so I wasn't able to get it as dark as I'da liked.




Before




After
So-so result imo.

Texas Sized Doughnut

I shot up to Austin this past weekend
to play alittle golf w/ my dad; unfortunately
I forgot to take the dig camera.
I did however bring one of these home.



Recently, that award winning TV show,
"Man vs. Food" (ok, but it COULD win an
award at some point) showcased this place.

The Good Life

If for some reason I'm off on the whole "Christian" thing & the Hindus or Buddhists (or both, whichever) are right about reincarnation, I wanna come back as a pet in my own household.
