Ballard Country Campout

We went to the Sieck's annual campout in their backyard. Abby loves sleeping in the tent and playing with her buddies. In fact, the Abster was so pumped to sleep in the tent, that she put herself to bed! Here's some pix from the adventure:

Two Abby's and Sydney by the friendly fire.


Sydney and Abby love to giggle together!


Didn't believe me? Seriously, they really laugh a lot.


Vera and Abby got to feed the LePley's horses. Abby now wants a horse. We reminded her that she already has plenty of My Little Ponies. :)


Vera and Abby had plenty-o-fun in the tent.

Happy Birthday Papa Ron!

I have a great Dad and today, June 22, is his birthday. He's a wonderful father, friend, husband, grandpa, son, musician, fixer-guy, and techy dude. I'm thankful for you Dad! Have an awesome birthday!

Abby is Four

Abby had a fiesta to celebrate her 4th birthday. It was really fun!

Go see the pictures HERE.

Also, Abby is very excited about the new bike that Grandma Sugar got for her today. You won't believe the video we shot (to be posted soon!) In addition, she is THOROUGHLY enjoying her new big girl bed, new clothes and awesome toys. Thanks to everyone who decided to shower her with new summer fun. She and we feel blessed. :)

Good Times Studio Ramping Up!

Since I'm a teacher, most of my recording happens in the summer. Well, this is my last week of school, so it won't be long before I'm diving into some recording projects! I have a new Audio-Technica mic and I just ordered the latest and greatest version of MOTU's "Digital Performer" so I'm excited to crack open the potential there! Here are the possible recordings for the summer:

1. Christmas Album for SB Community (this is gonna for sure happen this summer! Silent Night in July? Release expected by Thanksgiving 2007)

2. CLARK (there is some amazing new material to begin tracking)

3. Chris Mundell (funny man with pensive worship songs has several new gems in the cooker--we just need to have lunch so we can devise a game plan!)

4. Le Petit Protest (an amazing band from Lompoc-we met through Clark connections and we've been in contact to talk about me potentially recording their next LP--mostly live which sounds like an exciting challenge. I love this band. )

5. Angela White (hope to squeeze some time in to record some of my wife's great new stuff!)

6. Me (i have a couple new tunes that would be fun to track...we'll see!)

7. Maybe YOU!? :)

Stay tuned!
