The Mavericks at this point were pretty much beating the crap out of the Chicago Bulls.
This was the first home game with the newly reacquired Jason Kidd. He is pretty smooth with the passes. All these pictures were taken with my phone because I forgot my camera. When were leaving I snapped a quick photo of the open huge tv plaza area. By this time the temperature had dropped like 30 degrees and the wind was like 35 mph. Good game though.
Dad was pretty focused on "Schools Out" by Alice Cooper.
Look elderly people can enjoy video games.
The best part is the next morning he woke up all excited about the game and felt like he was playing the guitar when he woke up. See everyone now there is something to do in Palestine.
This last weekend we went to the Texas State Railroad to ride the train from Rusk to Palestine and back. It was really cool to see all the old stuff. However there definately was an age group that this was designed for: Either young kids or more elderly people. 24 is not really the age of focus. However it was fun and relaxing, a little slow but it got up to 25 mph. It was cool to have finally gone eventhough it has been there my whole life.
Lets just say when I get on four-wheelers, I like to get wet and muddy. Also I spent a ton of time getting them all started for everyone. In the end we had four of them going on the trails. So as we are out muddin, I happen to go through a extremely deep puddle of at least three feet. The four-wheeler pulled through as it was almost completely under water. Shortly after that, it died. You can see in the background that we had to tow it back like 2 miles. As we were waiting for the others to return with a tow rope, Matt, Liz, Andrea, and I started to mud wrestle. Let's talk about muddy. But it was a blast. The rest of the night was filled with Angie's dad try to diagnose the broken four-wheeler over the phone. We also got some good skeet shooting in before the game wardens kicked us out of there. Apparently we were in a wildlife management area and need hunting licenses to skeet shoot. All in all it was a fun trip.
So here we are in the cabin up in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. It is pretty much the most random place to go but it was a lot of fun up there. The casino was just on the way to the cabin. The stairs went up to the infamous loft where Tanner and I had to sleep. It was great except the fact that if anyone talked in the living room it echoed on up the stairs so that got pretty annoying when I was trying to go to bed at 3:00 in the morning. Then on Saturday night I happened to stumble upon some lincoln logs. It started out as a small one room house and soon there were expansions going up left and right. This was the finished project, my ranch "La Hacienda." Yeah I know that is the name of restaurant but whatever. This is what I learned so far from Texas A&M with thousands of dollars and like six years of my life. 
The Jazz actually won this game against the Trailblazers. But let me say that the Delta Center (Energy Solutions Arena or whatever gay thing it is called) was quite a disappointment. It just looked so old and ghetto eventhough it really isn't. It is just when you have a sweet American Airlines Center that the competition just can man up. 
Let's just say fun and COLD! This was probably the funnest thing we did on the trip. So fun that I actually rode them for a couple hours and then woke up at seven in the morning to try and crank these puppies. Pretty hard in -10 degrees. Only to find out that they use the good ole starter fluid to get them going. I thought my fingers were going to rip off. Nothing like ice falling off your nose when you are going 75 mph. From here we went scuba diving at Heber in a hot spring fed crater that was 65 ft deep. We didn't get any pictures but it was super fun. I thought I was going to hyper-ventilate at first though. I was breathing so fast I a pretty sure I emptied my tank a lot more than most people. 
This was my first attempt at snowboarding. We went to Wolf Mountain way up in Huntsville, Utah. It was pretty discouraging and humiliating at first as I keep eating my stuff and 3 yr kids are doing flips over me. It was fun though. And cold.
This is my newest project: 1341 Kirkwood Prosper, Texas 75078. It is going to be a 500 series home and will be appraised at +/- $300,000. This is my first actual, "completely my own" home. I do lots of work on the rest of our subdivision, but this one is mine. It has been fun learning how to schedule the construction of a home as opposed to actually doing the back breaking labor. This picture was taken about two weeks ago and merely just shows the lot with a trash bin in place.
