So our friends Tyler and Jillian were over the other day and told me to Google the words “Crazy Hair”. I did, and you’ll never guess what showed up:
That first result there — yeah…that’s me! And 10 year old picture of me with a crazy hair-style is the #1 result for “Crazy Hair”. I don’t know how long that will last, so I figure my best bet is to take a screenshot to save my 15 minutes of fame for all of history.
Totally random post — but I just had to.

Life is moving at an incredible pace. I can’t believe my little angel Isla is turning 1yr old TOMORROW! She is such a sweetie, but growing up fast. She’s a crawling monster and is starting to experiment with standing. Soon enough she’ll be running around like her big sister.
Happy Early Birthday to my sweetie-pie Isla!
On another note, Kesha and I had a date-night the other day. What she didn’t know as we got in the car is that I had bought tickets to the Dave Barnes acoustic show in Eugene, OR. We had a nice drive down and then spent a couple hours listening to our favorite artist in the whole wide world. I am totally stumped for why this guy is not more popular. I can listen to any song on any of his CDs and love it. His stuff is just great. If you haven’t yet, check him out!
Here are a few pics of our night out.

Today was an incredible day! Not only was it Easter, but it was Cohen’s third birthday!
Isla and I started the day waking Cohen up singing “Happy Birthday”. She loved it! Then we all got ready for church — which was also great!
After church we went to lunch with family and friends to celebrate Easter and a little bit of Cohen’s birthday (technically Cohen’s party is going to be next weekend).
I can’t believe how much I adore my little Co. I remember bringing her home from the hospital — all 4lbs. 11oz. of her! And now she is so incredibly smart, funny, energetic, loving, and full of joy! She is growing up too fast. I tuck her in every night and we read books, tell stories, and sing songs. And I know that this special time is not going to last long. Sad. I am just trying to treasure each moment I have with my little angel.
Happy Third Birthday Cohen!

We had such a wonderful time this weekend in Eagle Crest. The trip was such a relaxing time for the whole family. Kesha and I were dying to just take a break. Here are a few pics from our trip.
Kesha is even more beautiful than the mountain.

I ran across these old school pictures a while ago. This brings back memories of high school when I first met my friend Tom Loewen. We were involved in worship ministry together and ended up being great friend.
I am just now realizing how big of a dork I was

Today is my wonderful wife’s birthday. I love Kesha so much! She is such an amazing woman. I truly thank God for her. She is a super kind, sensitive, and fun! She is the best mom in the world. She is my closest friend and someone that I can always count on.
Happy Birthday Sweetie!
PS. You can head over to her blog and wish her Happy Birthday too if you want!

Give to those who have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Even if you can only spare $10 — do it.
They need us now.

I love my mother-in-law. She is such a wonderful, loving, and kind woman. She decided on a whim to call me up and offer to come watch the girls so Kesha and I can go on a date. How awesome is that?
Thanks Kathy!
What movie should we see?

We had a great Christmas. We had tons of family over and ate way too much food. Here are a few snapshots of the fun…

My dad was known for his peace sign. He was a bit of a hippie. His greeting was not a wave, but his two fingers in the air. Peace.
John Fehlen spoke on peace yesterday at church. I was convicted a few things in my life. I know I can be contentious at times and not always easy to get along with. I can be sarcastic, rude, and even a bit of an A. But that is not the person I desire to be. And I know that is not honorable to God.
Today in my reading I came across a great verse in Galatians:
“Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.” – Galatians 5:26
I think of my Dad as my greatest role model. In his later years he was a man of incredible peace. He was also generous, kind, loving, and compassionate. He didn’t think of himself first. I don’t think he had a single enemy in the world. Even people who had done him wrong in the past, he forgave.
He had a peace that surpasses understanding. He had the peace of God.
I want to live like that.
