Christmas Eve – 12/24/2014
We spent Christmas Eve at Danelle’s parents house. It was a simple affair of dinner, presents, and dessert. Hogan
Pecan Tree Shake – 12/14/2014
Danelle’s parents planted some pecan trees in their front yard many years ago. The trees have had many years to grow up and now product pecans. They have spent quite a bit of effort keeping the squirrels off of the trees to protect the nuts. Because they did a good job protecting the pecans from … Continue reading “Pecan Tree Shake – 12/14/2014”
Brown’s Ball – 12/13/2014
Sonora went to Andrew’s birthday party. One of his presents was a Wubble Ball. Its a silly ball that inflates to a very large size. When I went to pick up Sonora, Kevin and Nancy were attempting to inflate the ball. Like anything in life, it isn’t as easy as it looks in the commercials! … Continue reading “Brown’s Ball – 12/13/2014”
72nd Sunset Race – 12/11/2014
This paddle represents 6 years of us going out monthly and doing the Sunset Race. Winter paddles are cold, so we all had our foul weather gear on and were ready for anything. After a nice and cold paddle, I decided that I should test my equipment to ensure it will protect me. So I … Continue reading “72nd Sunset Race – 12/11/2014”
Christmas Cookie Party – 12/7/2015
Danelle and Sonora went over to Ryan and Ingrid’s house for the annual Christmas cookie party. This year, the party was back at Ingrid’s house (last year at our house due to new babies). The girls did an amazing job baking too many cookies and brought home a tray of too many delicious cookies! Thanks … Continue reading “Christmas Cookie Party – 12/7/2015”
Shirtless Wonder – 11/27/2014
We were at Danelle’s parents house for Thanksgiving. A nice family gathering. Out of the blue, Corvin decided he was hot and took off his shirt, walking around the house that way for a while. I called him the shirtless wonder and took photos of him. Silly boy! Hogan Haake
Honors Friends – 11/26/2014
Our friend from college, Josh was in town with his wife, Jen, and their kids around Thanksgiving. They live in Virginia, but Josh grew up in St. Louis. He and Danelle were in the Honors College crew who went to London for a semester and then meandered around Europe for a couple of months. Another … Continue reading “Honors Friends – 11/26/2014”
Garden Glow – 11/21/2014
The Missouri Botanical Garden put out their annual Christmas Light and we decided to grace them with our presence. It was extremely cold outside, but it was still crowded. Corvin and I were not completely in the mood to visit that night, so we were not quite up to the Christmas spirit. I wasn’t thinking … Continue reading “Garden Glow – 11/21/2014”
French Lick – 11/19/2014
Don’t get your hopes up, this is not a dirty post. It actually about our Thanksgiving trip out of town to French Lick, Indiana. We booked a room at the Big Splash resort/indoor water park. The water park is located on top of a hill, so its hard to miss, but not a place I … Continue reading “French Lick – 11/19/2014”
71st Sunset Race 11/13/2014
I was the sole participant for this Sunset race. I wasn’t worried as I had my dry suit and know this section of river well. I don’t often go out in our kayak as I prefer the company of others, but when you’re by yourself, you do what you have to do. Here I am … Continue reading “71st Sunset Race 11/13/2014”
