Body Building Contest

My friend asked if I would take pictures of his first ever body building contest, an I couldn't tell him no.  Here are some of the shots that I took. 

The first three are of my friend.  

This next one is the winner of the "Mens Short Open", or something like that

This is the all around winner of the contest.  He said it took him 25 years to win his first all around. 
I think he looked really good for being in his 50s!!!

A stool that moves

For some  you will understand what an accomplishment these 2 pictures are.  For those of you that don't we spent a lot of time and money training these dogs, and we never thought Gertie would be good with Caitlyn.  Thank God we were wrong.  We have now gone from using her as a pillow to using her as a stool.  Next step, learn how to balance while Gertie walks. 

Let's do Lunch

So my daughter started whining and I thought she was hungry.  It's only 11:00 am and she usually goes down for a nap between 12:00 and 1:00.  Well apparently I was wrong.  One day I will learn to understand what she wants, well then again maybe not...

Took this one awhile ago, but I like it so I am posting it.  She decided she wanted to watch a little TV, but needed somewhere to rest her head; Gertie was the closest thing. 

Caitlyn's Birthday

Thought I would post up a few shots from Caitlyn's Birthday.  The first 2 are of the smash cake and cupcakes my wife and sister-in-law made, and many people helped decorate.  The last one is right after she got her slide from Grandpa Calcut.

One of the bikes

Well I am rather strapped for time today.  I am working on my fathers bike so I figured I would post a pic of one of the bikes I owned.  Unfortunately I had to sell this one about a month ago.  This post is also test of the new layout.  Let me know what you think...

Jaiden...2 years old

Last spring I was asked to take pictures of my godson because his parents couldn't get him to sit still for studio photo sessions.  I took about 150 shots and we had a lot of good ones.  Here are a couple of photos from that day....
