The Mothership has arrived

muuuuhahahhahhahhhaa it's here! The power is in my backyard!

If you build it...

The LZ has been created and we await the arrival of the mothership.

Pan Asian Weekend!

Yet another great Pan Asian celebration...we should do the Pan Asain dinner twice a year. But wait a minute here? Why all the long faces? Was this the Pan Asian dinner or a funeral? Has Scrooge McKidney been spotted...uh-oh! Fear not bloggers, I am on the case.

Hot Prep

Preperations are being made...the LZ has been built. We await the Hot Tubs landing...it's a bit like waiting for Santa or the Tooth Fairy.

Major to me Minor to others

I received this cool marketing campaign award from EA and the marketing team yesterday...pretty cool. I love working for this company!

Is it time?

You Bet! Mom's frosted cookies, the three wise men and an over abundance of gifts that makes Scrooge McKidney delight in frustration. Yes, it’s time.

Future Glimpse

Coming to a Kidney backyard in the near furtue.

Popular Pumpkin

Microsoft celebrates Halloween in a big way. Microsoft families are all encouraged to bring their costumed kid's for trick or treating office to office. It’s crazy! I dressed up the pumpkin that I received for my birthday…and kids loved it. Kids were patting it, laughing at it and one kid took it by the hands and tried to dance with it. It was quite a sight.

Dalene and Claire

This is baby Claire and according to Jolene also the happiest baby on the planet. You wouldn't know it from looking at her but she is teething and according to her mom she has not cried once about it. Pretty amazing.

Cousin Melissa...and Corbin's Birthday!

Melissa is one of Jolene's many cousins but instead of living in Spokane she and her husband Mike live pretty close. Last night we celebrated her sons (Corbin) 8th birthday...it was a blast. The young lady is Ashley, their eldest.

btw Melissa is the one who is talking to Dalene in the bottom picture.

Sick

I have been sick for the past few days...no fun. Hopefully, I will be back in action tomorrow.

Family Gathering

Tonight we celebrated 5 years of Peter's sobriety! And yes it was also good quality family time...Great picture of Mom and Aunt Karen.

How did this Happen?

I thought one was enough, but I received two boxes of Smokey Cheese this week. 10 Bars of Smokey Cheese...My mind is still swimming...I am set for life. The Lord (or Mom and Paul) has blessed me with Smokey Cheese! Oh Glorious Smokey Cheese!

Now I really miss her...

Yeah, the picture is a little dirty and we are little older but the feeling is still the same. I love you Jolene, Happy Anniversary!

I miss Jolene

Jolene is gone for the week...and I miss her.

Birthday

Thanks for all the love on my birthday! Here are a few shots from the party. Joe and Jen both won prizes from the Mario Kart competition and of course Baby Mia.

The Road Ahead

and of course the cement tower again ;-)

The Jaksons

I have been searching for this video from some time. Yes, I know I could have found part it on the making of Thriller tape...but I have always wanted to see the completed video. Well here it is

Cement Tower

Does the transporter know?

Fun on the InterUrban Trail

We found this old train cart last night and thought we would take a few goofy pictures on it.

Tad

Presenting my new officemate and co-worker!

Blogging the Blogger

I think the shot speaks for it's self.

Blooper and Bono

A Blooper from the other night and the Bono SUV...click on the SUV picture to enlarge, this one is for you Martha!

Pat or Roxanne?

So, does this baby look like Pat or Roxanne? I'm glad to see that the baby is coming along, good work Pat!

70!

So this is what it's like to be 70...Goodtimes! Ummmm, I am not sure what Polly is doing?

Sky!

I caught this shot while getting gas last night.

It's Growing

As you can see it's beginning to sprout.

Okay Okay

This is the BLOG emergency shot! If I ever found myself so busy I figured I pull this shot out of my archive! Notice good old black dog sleeping on the other side...look for the ears;-)

Blue

Yup, Fulltime!

NEO

So I was a little sneaky, I took a few shots inside New Employee Orientation yesterday, one at the beginning and one at break. Over all it was a great presentation and of course the benefits plan is out of this world!

Last Day of Being Orange

My last day of being a temporary employee of Microsoft or "Orange Badge". When I arrived at new employees orientation this morning I was told to turn my badge in. It was strange to see my badge discarded into a huge basket full of disposed orange badges. A new day begins with a new color…

Asian Design

I hope everybody has a great week...just another view from Beacon Hill!

As Promised

Jolene and I found these strange little homes on Beacon Hill last night. We could not figure out what these are?

I promise

I will have a new shot tomorrow! Busy Busy Busy

Labor End

I hope it was a good one...now back to work!

Step Brother Andrew

Dad and Ginny are in this weekend for a wedding and they brought their son Andrew. When I first meet Andrew he was a silly little kid but as you can see here he is full grown dude. I still see the silly kid.
