Noise....and water

Well, after two long, loud weeks of the guest group being here, I get to leave tonight and meet up with my homey and fly to Sacramento to brave the rapids of the American river for two days.

Okay, that's not us yet, but it will be. Dave and I went on this same trip last year and had a blast. We raft down the middle fork of the American river for a whole day, camp along the river and then do some more the following day..... and man, that water is CCOOOOOOOLLLLDDDD!!
This year we are bringing along to other guys from our bible study group in the desert. We hope to make this a guys tradition for us every year and the 'grandaddy' destination is the Grand Canyon.

Yawn......ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Man, I am tired. It seems like the weekend flew by and I hardly got to spend time with my family. Did alot of 'honey-do' type stuff around the new house this weekend to make it seem more like home. You know, the usual hanging pictures, shelves and art.
I didn't have my camera with me to take pics or video like the Ashdowns but will on my next trip down.

Gotta go.

I don't have to go to the bathroom... just got to go.... and fix some sprinklers on the field.

Talk to you later.

Look forward to it.

Well, I think I'm going to start up again....

I've been reinspired to post again by Jolinda, Amanda, and Jasen.

Really who wouldn't be inspired by those people.

So I guess this my official announcement to coming back to the blogging world. Right now I'm sticking with Blogger, but I may try Wordpress, we'll see... I'll let you all know if I change. Hopefully I'll be able to post on a more regular basis. I'll also try and updarte my page look and my friends list.

If you didn't already know, my family and I are moving away from Pondo after 9 1/2 years back to the desert for a change in our lives. I'll post about that in more detail soon.

Thanks for the welcome back to posting for those who would have me, and those who don't........

Tough.

Blogger is dead...

... I think blogging is dead in my life. I never post anymore and am deluding myself in thinking I will post in the future. Everyone seems to be on Myspace or Facebook now... which definitely isn't the same. I enjoyed reading everyones posts.
Anyway this is my last post for My Rants and Raves. Sorry it's lame. I'm getting busy again with Winter Camps and summer prep so I'm pretty sure that I would never post.

See ya.

Addicted...

Yep, I'm hooked on 24. I'm at the end of the third season trying to catch up thanks to Netflix.

What else can I say... Jack is THE man!

Agree.... Disagree?

Sweet!

So I'm sorry I haven't posted pictures of the house yet... our momentum has slowed a little bit and we still have to finish the kitchen (big task), but when it is done I promise to post some.

Well, the new Mac is pretty SWEET!! Along with having the ipods too, of course. I'm posting from it right now, as a matter of fact. I've been downloading all of our CD music library onto it this last week... man, that takes along time!

Here is a photo of the LeBrun fam on the first night we had the iMac using the cool iChat camera that is built into the screen

Hannah loves it when Daddy takes pictures with her.

I'm Back and I've Crossed Over...

...no I'm not gay or Communist or even a Democrat (ouch!), I've crossed over to Way of the Macintosh. Yep, that's right I'm going to be the proud (hopefully) owner of an iMac. I went ahead and made the plunge last week along with buying two ipods (one for Rachel and one for me). It just seemed better for us to get the iMac over the MacBook even though the MacBooks look way cool!
We have been doing a total interior home remodel or makeover (pics to come later) and have been needing to update and get a new computer for awhile so we did. We must be the last people on earth to get an ipod... better late then never, right!?

So, yes I'm back in the blogging world and hopefully I'll post more than I did in the spring so that Jasen isn't the only one anymore.

Peace.

On A Break...

...so this here has been one of the most hectic of my whole life, hence the no new posts.

Summer is upon us and camp is a week and a half away. I hired my last staff member yesterday. And I'm tired. Mentally and physically.


So as not to dissappoint you even further, not that anybody reads this anymore anyway... I'm taking an official break from my blog until fall.

I may occasionally post, we'll see.

Windows of Paradise...

So I promised some pictures from our trip to Maui... so here they are.
Okay so this isn't Hawaii...

This was how our house looked the day before we left for Maui.

...and here is the green lush island of Maui. Notice there is no snow in this picture! Thank God!

Rachel, Cameo, Micah and I in all of our 'whiteness' early in the week.

This was a cool church made out of lava rock in 1832 that they still have services in every Sunday.

This is a neat flower shot with a wedding chapel in the background right on the beach.

The inside peak of the wedding chapel with sunlight flooding through. I liked the symmetry of the wood in this picture.

A waterfall pouring out of the lush rainforest that the road to Hana goes through.... it was a very beautiful drive.

My brother Micah wading in a serene pool along the road to Hana.

Micah swimming in the serene pool. Notice the old bridge of the narrow road above.

Rachel, Hannah and I in front of a beautiful waterfall on the road to Hana. Leah was asleep in the car.

This picture is one of my favorites of Hannah's hand and foot on the black sand beach in Hana. Hannah and Hana. Funny!

I love the contrast in this shot. This little plant was only about two inches tall, right on the beach.
