May – 2014
I caught Sonora practicing her ballet at home, she looks so cute! No, this isn’t a visit to a doctor’s office… I played a prank on a co-worker today. Drew with dry erase markers on the glass over her kid’s photos. Hogan Haake

Hike with the Browns – 5/25/2014
We decided to go on a multi-family hike with the Brown family. We started off meeting at their house and caravaning down to Mastodon State Park. The park is about 45 minutes south of where we live in St. Louis. For the drive down, I volunteered to have all the kids in our van and … Continue reading “Hike with the Browns – 5/25/2014”
Refinishing the Front Porch – 5/8/2014
After over 8 years of living at our house, the front porch was starting to see better days. In high traffic areas, the stain was wearing off. Some of our nearby friends had a porch redone and spent several thousand dollars. That was our motivation to get off our butts and spend a few hundred … Continue reading “Refinishing the Front Porch – 5/8/2014”
Junior Navigators Campout – 5/10/2014
We participated in the Avery Junior Navigators camp out. The kids were excited to spend a weekend with all of their friends. As always, we hauled the trusty pop up camper out and set up inside the group camping area. A bit away from the crowd, it was nice with less noise and traffic of … Continue reading “Junior Navigators Campout – 5/10/2014”
Mud Run – 5/3/2014
I have to work for one of the best employers, Deck Internet Solutions, in the St. Louis area. The owner is good about sharing all the goodness of life. This spring, he paid for employees and a spouse to participate in the Mud Run. This is a 5 mile obstacle course through the mud. We … Continue reading “Mud Run – 5/3/2014”
April – 2014
This was a fun month. Probably the most notable thing that happened this month was watching my next door neighbor catch his dry lawn on fire while my son tried to put it out. Hogan Haake
Earth Day – 4/27/2014
Earth day is something important in our family. Not like Christmas, but because Danelle has dedicated her life to improving the environment. We try as a family to be better stewards of the environment every day. Danelle was volunteering at a booth and I was walking the kids around to see what was there. Its … Continue reading “Earth Day – 4/27/2014”
Pointers Pizza at Deck – 4/30/2014
We had been talking about the Pointers Pointersaurus 28” pizza at work for at least a month. I had been spending three days a week at a customer site. We didn’t get the Pointers pizza because it was a bit far away from the customer’s office. Earlier in the week, I found out that I … Continue reading “Pointers Pizza at Deck – 4/30/2014”
Karmin – 4/29/2014
Danelle and I don’t go to many concerts. Come to think of it, I think that might be our first concert together. So we went to see one of our favorite artists, Karmin. We learned about Karmin from their Youtube covers of other artists. Once they got pseudo famous from doing that, they started releasing … Continue reading “Karmin – 4/29/2014”
Color Run – 4/26/2014
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”
