Our Trip to Julian San Diego


Thanks to Nikki (one of the girls that works with Lam), she suggested we check out Julian. So we took a drive down there to check out the place. Just as I figured, a typical small town with one main road, "mom & pop" cafe's, bakery's, liquor stores, and cheesy gift shops. I'm glad it only took us 2 hours, Larry & Irene had the 4 hour drive (might as well have been Vegas). Overall it was a nice trip for the families and our kids. Even though we missed the Laker game, we were able to tune into 570am and listen on our way home while our wives and kids slept (except Dave, he enjoyed the beautiful sounds of Connor).
Nevermind the stupid hats, how in the hell did they all fit in that little cart!?

We were told by the owners of this property there was once gold here. If there was gold anywhere on the premises, I'm sure our wives would have smelled something...



Obviously I aint the only one trying to figure my camera out!



Forced friendship again...

Landon's 1st Taste of Vinegar!



Dalton (my youngest brother) was going on a Marine Ecology trip to Catalina this past weekend. So we dropped him off in Long Beach, and had lunch at Bubba Gump Shirmp. Derek ordered fish and chips, and of course they had the malted vinegar on the table. We (meaning Derek and I), enjoy capturing Landon's expressions on video. Since Derek had his 5DM2, we decided to see how Landon would react to his first taste of a vinegar soaked french fry. Hope you enjoyed the video, we did!

Teresa & Costco Cupcake Challenge

For those of you who don't know Chung, he typically loves to challenge girls to a drinking contest. Since he knows Teresa will probably beat him at his own game he decided to give her a different challenge. 4 Costco cupcakes, 2 with icing and 2 without icing, must be completely eaten in 6 minutes. The prize, $95 paid out by Chung. If you watch the video closely, you will notice the original agreement was NO WATER.

Here are some key marks you want to watch out for:
40 second mark, Dave is speaking with Teresa, no clue what he said but I think he's coaching her on how to cram all that food in 6 minutes.
50 second mark, Chung talks to Dave and I have no clue what they were saying but Dave gives Chung a high-5, and looks at Chung like "hey dick, why are you trying to get my wife fat..."
60 second mark, you see your typical side bets going on...
2 minute 20 second mark, everyone is yelling at Chung to give Teresa water (mostly the girls), Chung being the dick that he is, takes the water and drinks it for himself. What a gent!

Family Pics for mothers day




So for mothers day Derek had a great idea to do an updated family portrait of the kids (being Myself, Lam, Derek, Dalton and Landon). If you've been to my parents house (which most of you have), I'm sure you've seen the two ridiculous family portraits we took about 10+ years ago. Dressed in all white with blue jeans, we couldn't get more gay than that. My brother got a new SLR (Canon 5D Mark II), after spending $3,500 on this new toy I can see the value to a nice SLR. I'm happy with my Canon SD750 (thanks tho), but now that I got my brothers old SLR I'll be able to pretend I'm a photographer too. Here are some pics he took with his new camera along with 1080p video! I wonder if 10 years from now, are we going to think these pictures are just as gay as our old ones... probably so... Happy mothers day mom!
