Carter Photos
LaBranda has recently started nannying for some dear friends of ours. The other day she had Carter at our house and apparently he was being quite the ham. She grabbed my camera off the table and started snapping some photos. I downloaded them a couple of days ago and did a few edits and thought I’d share. Enjoy!
Bonefish Grill Experience
Last night LaBranda and I dined at Bonefish Grill for the first time. We’ve been wanting to try the place and have had several friends recommend this franchise and since my parents had sent us an Outback gift card (which can also be used at Bonefish) we decided to give it a shot.
We were highly impressed with both the food and the service. I had never had Chilean Sea Bass and upon an astonished look from my wife when I made this proclamation, I decided that last night was the night to change that. I ordered the sea bass with mango salsa and waited in anticipation.
When my dish arrived it was absolutely gorgeous (sorry for no photo). I ordered it with a side of steamed broccoli and their garnish for the evening; a side of garbonzo beans sauteed with bacon and other delisheness. The broccoli was awesome, the garbonozo beans were phenomenol and the sea bass was chewy. Wait what?!?!?! Yeah I know, my thoughts too. My chef of a wife ensures me that it should be flaky, our server becomes super apologetic, the kitchen fires me a new piece of fish and prepares an entire fresh plate for me. This time the sea bass was super flaky and I got a whole other serving of beans and broccoli!
Drew our server was amazing and she really made it a great experience at the restaurant. We will definitely be going here again!
Refinery Christmas Party Pics
LaBranda spends her Wednesday evenings with an amazing group of 11th grade ladies leading a Bible study. In December they had a fun Christmas party with the 11th grade guys Bible study so of course I had to take a few photos :-).

New Years Eve 2010
In order to ring in the new year, LaBranda and I had some friends over to the house to celebrate with us. Of course what New Years Eve party would be complete without some crazy shenanigans including Just Dance 2 on the Wii and Rock Band on the PS3. Hope you enjoy the photos and videos!
Here’s a little bit of video action of the two of them. When you hear us give Shem a hard time in the video it is because he just acknowledged how he had a “PERFECT” score and we could tell he was quite proud of it! Have to give a brother some grief every now and then!
