The Brown’s invited our family to join them for the Color Run this year. We initially agreed to the four of us but decided against Sonora running and made it just Corvin and dad. Like always, I was over excited for the event. Corvin and I woke up early and were on the road with … Continue reading “Color Run – 4/26/2014”
In anticipation of the St. Louis Blues hockey team doing great in the Stanley Cup Finals, I purchased some temporary tattoos for Danelle to wear while cheering them on. Somehow, the tattoos ended up on my children before going to school. Not to be outdone by her kids, Danelle worked on some special Easter Eggs. … Continue reading “St. Louis Blues Cheer – 4/19/2014”
We went out to see The People’s band play at Stone Spiral Coffee House. The band was united as a 4 piece with a very rich sound. As always, Jack and Tracy rocked it out, but the twin sisters (whose names I can’t remember) filled in some amazing background sound! The coffee house was split … Continue reading “The People’s – 4/11/2014”
Corvin’s 4th grade class took a field trip to Jefferson City, MO. They visited the capital to learn more about the state’s government. Danelle was good enough to take the day off and go with the class. Album Hogan Haake
I decided to help Corvin learn to ride a unicycle. In order to do that, I needed to make my unicycle fit him. I cut the post of mine down so it was short enough for him to ride. Of course, that means that I had to get a new one… I had been reading … Continue reading “New Unicycle – 4/3/2014”

Chocolate cake is good, but Super Chocolate Cake is better. I was at my parents house for the weekend and got a crazy idea. I started by baking a pan of brownies, quickly followed by a chocolate cake. When the brownies were done, I cut out a 9″ brownie layer for my cake. Shortly after, … Continue reading “Super Chocolate Cake 3/12/2014”
We went to Kansas City this weekend with a purpose. KC Paddler was supposed to be closing forever (they are still open in July). The boats were on discount and I wanted to replace Breakdown (Hobie Adventure) with something that Danelle could handle loading and unloading on her own. First thing we did on Friday … Continue reading “KC Weekend – 3/21/2014”
There is something great about a weekend away from it all. Of course its even better when its with the guys camping and paddling on the river. Jake, John, Jason, and [J]Hogan (cause I guess I needed a J in front of my name to fit in) were the players for this event. I was … Continue reading “Current River Float – 3/14/2014”
