Catch of the day !

Colton's Fifth

The little man turned five! He's five going on 13 and now he's off and running on his first mountain bike. Happy Birthday Son, your awesome!

SUP?

I was going through a bunch of old pictures from when I was a kid and I came across this gem of me paddling on my own equipment. I don't remember this particular instance, I was about three. I do remember all the time we spent at the beach in general though and I'm forever grateful to my parents for instilling in me the sense that enjoying my life is important. Good times . -SPK

THE BOY'S FIRST WAVE

AROUND THE HOUSE

Sherri is now past her due date for our second child so I've been trying to stay close to home. I've been missing the swell but have been putting in long hours at the shop and catching up on around the house projects. Its nice to have good help. I should have a second little helper any day now. -SPK

MOTHERS DAY

Usually on Mothers Day I find myself thinking about what I can get my Mom to make her happy. This year I've been thinking about Colton's Mother (sorry Mom). My wife is also a Mom, to our awesome little boy Colton and is going to be giving birth any day now to our second child. I've been thinking about when Colton was born and how totally crazy the whole process is. It's almost unbelievable that we all got here that way except of course, that we're all here. Living with a child and the mother of that child has opened my eyes to just how much mothers really do and in a way that I could have never understood before, I think that will make my Mom happy. Thanks Mom and Wife for all that you did, do, and will do for your children.


Colton and his Mom.

EARLY MORNING SCENES

My kid doesn't give a fuck !

As a parent your always trying to capture that one amazing picture that sums up how perfect your child is... You know so you can show everybody else who doesn't care anyway. You say stuff like "Oh this one? I just snapped it, isn't he cute?" ( in reality you blasted out about fifty seven pictures in less than thirty seconds ) and of course your kid could give a shit that your trying to be the next Annie Leibovitz. Well here are some of the other ones, that now in hind sight have turned out to be the real gems.


Yo buddy you looking at me? I'll kick your ass from here to next week!


I can't even explain what the hell is going on here.


Somebody get this kid a bucket!


Apparently my kid the "farmer" just rode his quad back from his secret field some where in Humboldt.


This is what the scene looks like at your great aunts house seconds before that antique chair gets a very modern stain.

COLTON LOVES HIS BIKE

ONE WINDY DAY

COLTON & UNCLE NATHAN

My son and I made a little tardzinger for my brother's 30th birthday to remind him that just cause you get older you don't have to stop having fun. Colton was so stoked to give it to him, here he is showing off the star he (I) painted on it. -SPK
