Atticus & the Hippo

May 10, 2011No Comments »

Atticus is really a character. He has always had a deep gruff voice, and his mannerisms and choice of words is truly historical. This is a little gem that I caught on tape at the San Diego Zoo this weekend.

“Blue”

Meet “Blue”. He is the newest member of our family. (After stating that, I realize I neglected to blog about my newest son Jude who was born two months ago! Doh!) Sorry Jude. More on Jude coming soon! But back to Blue. Blue is a 1959 VW Double Cab. I bought him on the internet and had shipped to Redondo Beach from Fort Collins Colorado. This truck is sweet. He can seat all six of us. He is a little rusty around the edges, but no matter. I am hoping to completely restore him. His motor does not run, his brakes are non existant and he needs some serious love. I can’t wait!

Yesteryear’s Halloween Costumes

Oct 25, 20101 Comment »

This year Brynn and I made a last minute decision to put together a half-assed costume for the Hawkin’s annual Halloween costume party. I scored some excellent Mario and Luigi hats…and a mustache for Brynn. Eve and Atticus wore some awesome Star Wars costumes we had in the garage…and Asher borrowed a Yoda costume from the Osbornes. Brynn and I actually won a prize for best couple’s costume…and Asher won best kid’s costume. We had a blast. It was the perfect ending to an already great long 4 day weekend.
