We went on our first camping trip in Tyler this past October (2008). The above is a video of a crane that decided to fish about 5 feet from where we were standing. It was really cool because we were all sitting there watching [...]
We’ve added the summer pictures for 2008. As you can tell Jude has gotten more comfortable around the water and we have a summers worth of pictures up in the albumn. Check out the last couple of pictures of the snake that going after a frog on our front porch.
Spring has sprung, the kids are growing. Again there are a ton of pictures in the spring 2008 albumn. Head over and check them out.
Jude is 3! We had a couple of great birthday parties and Jude and I went to the Stockshow and rodeo on our own. Tons of pictures in the albumns.
Cute baby pictures up on the albumn page.
Ruby Kate Black was born on December 20th, 2007. We were a bit suprised by the timing, but she was very healthy and we found a knot in the cord that could have been a problem had she decided to take her time like Jude had. She was a great early Christmas present.
Baby Everett is born. We have a big birthday for Treese with all of the family coming in town and we keep busy with a 2 year old and baby (wife) that’s growing every day.
Lisa is Pregnant! We are expected our second child towards the end of December. We all meet Lilly for the first time and get to spend the summer with the Swansons. Check the pictures for more… Eventually I’ll catch up on the posts.

Jake came over and stayed the week at the Black’s. We had a bit of a toddler camp here and it was really fun watching the boys play. They had a great time, check out the pictures on the picture page.
We took a vacation and trip this year going to San Antonio, South Padre, and Tyler. We introduced aunt Jan to the Wii, and she learned to be careful bowling. We went to Sea World while in San Antonio, made sand castles on the beach at Padre, and went to the zoo in Tyler. The [...]
There are a ton of pictures for birthday number 2 available in the pictures area. We had two great parties and Jude had more fun than the serious face above indicates.
The Stockshow and rodeo here in Fort Worth is a yearly trip for us. The picture above is of the petting zoo. Jude loves the interaction and looking at all of the different animals up close. The rodeo is late in the evening for him, but it is fun. Check the pictures for more.
We had an early snow this year and it was Jude’s first. He loved it so much he threw a huge fit when we made him come in.
We have had trips to the zoo, the pumpkin patch, many many parks and have enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. Check the pictures page for more pictures of it all.
We are having a great summer. Jude loves watering the flowers as seen above. We’ve been busy trying to keep him busy, the zoo, the cousins pool, and even some golf at Gran’s par 3. We have had a great summer.
Jude got a job as a BNSF engineer today, he really loves his work. We really went to the train exhibit at central station in Kansas City, and he loves trains. He loves the animals and trains.
Spring has sprung. I started Jude mowing the yard this year, he’s got to start carrying his weight around here after all… Just kidding. Anyway, it has been a nice early spring and Jude loves our new park down the street.
Everyone seems to be 1 this year. We had a birthday with the three guys that are a little over a week apart in age. Reid is Jakes cousin and Jake and Jude are cousins and they are all 1. We had a great time and look forward to many more to come.
Happy new year. We had a great first Christmas for Jude. Jude walked for the first time on the 25th at Grandma and Papa’s house.
I’ve updated the pictures page with some pictures from this summer and early fall. There was a trip to Washington to see some family and go to our first apple press. We’ve also seen Jude learn to crawl and he’s gotten pretty good at it since his first successful attempt. I’ll try to update the [...]
It’s been a while since I updated the front entrance of the site, but there have been updates, so take a look around and see what’s new. We have been pretty occupied with Jude and life in general, but we have been very blessed and all is well. As you can see in the picture [...]
Cousin Jake is here. I have a new cousin that was born 6 days after Jude. Congratulations to the Tiedes!
Well As you see above our second sonogram went well. He was very cooperative and the technician saw all that she needed to see for the doctor and then to fulfill our curiosity and make this short video(10megs). Sorry we haven’t written anything sooner, but things have been kind of busy around here. Lisa has [...]

IT’S a BABY! We had our first Sonogram June 1 and everything looks great. As you can tell, he’s really small yet so you can’t see anything but the heart beat. We’re very excited and it’s been all we could do to keep the [...]
