AJ's birthday was wonderful and we'd like to thank everyone who helped make it that way! The cards, gifts, and happy wishes were all great and made AJ's birthday extra special happy! "It was amazing!" (as AJ said!)

Thanks everyone!!

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
--Mark Twain

Get mad, then get over it.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
--Benjamin Franklin

When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.

We took AJ in for his birthday portraits yesterday! We tried a new place this year that allows pets to come in. AJ & Tanner both did super well and we ended up with some adorable pictures! I'll be getting them ready and mailed out this week to family and friends, so be watching your mailbox!

I still can't believe he'll be four this week!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together.

In the meantime, please enjoy these thoughts on judgment!

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” - Mother Teresa

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” - Ambrose Redmoon

We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday today, whether you are celebrating the Christian Easter holiday or just celebrating Easter as a time to join with family and friends. Remember not to take your life for granted. Enjoy every minute of it. Cherish your friends and families. None of us know when our last moment will be. So many of us take our health for granted and can't even imagine something tragic coming into our lives. So, take today as an opportunity to tell those around you how much they mean to you.

Happy Easter!

Travis & Megan are starting a new chapter today.
Good luck guys!
