More Fun Underwater

Stephanie completed her advanced open water certification over the weekend. Unfortunately, Matt caught a big bug and couldn't go with her. It was a blast none the less. If anyone is looking to get certified I highly recommend Andy. He was awesome and really helped build Steph's confidence! http://www.blackdogdivers.net/

Now that's one big bass!

Yup, you really use all that gear.

I was slightly suprised at Andy's Flash! But then thought I need to get one of those cameras. The thing was honkin' but it also did underwater video!

The hardest thing in diving for me is to not use my hands to swim.

Maybe I really do have gills!

A Day Off Together

We finally had a day off together (that wasn't a Sunday) so we decided to go SCUBA diving. Matt hadn't been in quiet some time so we thought this would be a nice and easy refresher. Although there is not a lot to see we did find crawdads, schools of fish, and a whopping three feet long catfish!

Afterwards we meet Scott and Chari at the mall to take Jake on the Carousel. What a fun day!

Did he pass?

Whoooowhoooooo!!!!
Matt Passed the Fundementals of Engineering Exam!!!!

Mountain Biking McDowell Mountain

It's rare that I get to take the twins mountain biking. Between school, tests, scouts, friends, and GIRLS, they don't have time for their favorite brother in law very often. It was a treat to take these young men on a bike ride on Saturday, and see how much they've grown in the 7 years I've known them.

My birthday present!

Birthdays

Alright, we just realized that we didn't take any pictures during my birthday!
So when all else fails, here is a fun picture of Jake!

We had a group dinner at Rico's for a combined Birthday Celebration.
