It is always fun to go to the park with my girls!  Livia is starting to get more in to photography too, so she often does funny things to "create" a picture for me.  Last Saturday when we were there, both girls were doing everything they could to get me to take their pictures!  It was a constant, "Daddy, take my picture! Daddy, over here!  Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!  LOL!  It was pretty funny.   I did get some really good shots of them though.  My goal was to use my wide angle lens as much as possible to help show our surroundings a little better.  It gives a sense of perspective and distance.  I love this picture!

My blog is setup as more of a forward to Cami's blog.  She's got the family blogging thing down.  I just BS about whatever is on my mind at the time!  WHICH OBVIOUSLY I SUCK AT!!  I'll try to do better though.  Here's our family blog http://deans4.blogspot.com

This was a Yenko Nova Clone that I really liked this year.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Sweet goodness on a Saturday morning, with a hot cinnimon roll!

Well, it's been a fun trip so far.  My training course has been a good continuation of the basic course I attended last fall in San Diego.  While I have enjoyed being here, it's just not as much fun when I can't share the experience with Cami and the girls.  The weather turned rainy and wet yesterday and is supposed to continue until Friday, so you're not missing much Cami!!!  Tonight I'm thinking about taking a Ferry ride accross the sound and taking some pictures.  I also need to get some treats for the girls before I leave tomorrow afternoon.  Livia and Sydney, I know that you're reading this...........so I can't say what the treat will be!!!  You will like it though.

This is the view from my balcony at the edgewater in Seattle.

The girls did a lemonade stand and each pocketed 5 bucks

Here's Sydney with Nana's little puppies

Well, I finally cracked down and took the amp out of Cami's car and put it into mine. I'm not using the 12" MB Quart sub that I'd had in there though, it was retired to the closet. Instead, I purchased two JL Audio 10W3's from the pawn shop for $70. I'm hoping that I'll have enough time in the next month or two to build separate sub enclosures to fit in the sides of the trunk. Then I'll still have all of my trunk space and be able to store my T-tops. The two 10's may be overkill though. I'll have to wait and see what a single 10 sounds like with the new enclosure. I'll post pics soon. I still have to build an amp rack in the spare tire well and mount my 2 farad capacitor where I can see the display.

Well, Cami wanted to cash in her coupons we made her for mother's day that gave her a free car wash & detail. So the girls and I went down the hill to the car wash area and gave "Pearl" (Cami's Car) a bath.



I also took the oportunity to wash Rocksy. Yes, Sydney decided that my Camaro should be named "Rocksy" because, as she says, "Daddy, your car rocks, so we should name her Rocksy!". How can a good dad argue with a cute little four year old?
