Just strolling through the yard and captured a few early spring flowers.

Enjoy!

Justin and me had some fun carving our pumpkins Saturday. Justin found a cool stencil online and meticulously carved a wonderful skeleton...

I went more traditional free-handing mine from scratch...

The pumpkin I chose to carve was the largest pumpkin we have grown to date....

Below is one of the latest videos I edited with footage captured on mission trips to the Dominican Republic. It was shown at this years fundraiser and got a good response from the audience, especially the "El Professor" bit :-).  I'm looking forward to next year's trip in January!!!

Are you kidding me? You made it to a half century? Unbelievable!

Okay all kidding aside it really is hard for me to believe I am 50. I certainly don't feel it and I think mentally I'm more a cross between a 30-year-old and a 12-year-old kid. I've had a lot of laughter in my life and I think my youthful attitude contributes to this disbelief. I have done so much in my life already that I feel like  I've already lived a lifetime. You mean I have another 50 or so years to go??? The years I've lived already has yet to come once over... YIKES!
Well if they're anything like my first 50 years they'll be very exciting and filled with adventures and I'm sure a whole heck of a lot of laughter :-)
What I thought I'd do is include some mementos from the year I was born. Scroll down below to take a look at what I dug up in honor of my 50th birthday, and in honor of being a half a century old.
