Some more beans for your stalk.

Boise Christmas tree lighting.

Thanksgiving 2009

Naki's last thanksgiving before intervention.

Somewhat of a tradition for thanksgiving is volunteer work at the local VA hospital. They don't really let us take pictures inside so this was the best we could do. Troops = good. War = bad

My kid.

Just a small video of us at a jam packed local semi-pro b-ball game.

Health Care

Some randomness.

"World" Series

These pictures are a combination of a trip to Red Bluff, CA and a trip to SLC, UT and a non-trip to Boise, ID.

"All your ducks in a row" joke....CA

Give a man (small boy) a fish...joke....CA

DUI....CA

Remember this? CA

Naki and Grandpa. There is a video of this that will show up soon.

Geek out. CA

Boys.

Dish washer? Clothes washer? Deep sink?

This is where Naki was cleaned.

#1 Grandson

Here we are at the farmers market in Boise after the 5K the Fanua just did.

Fanua, Naki, and Grandma Pikula did a 5K.

Very happy....note where they are relative to the finish...

Naki making sure Grandma finishes.

Predator vs. Alien

Boise has a lot of 5K's. This happens to be one to celebrate woman's fitness. Naki doesn't have to run/walk it since he is not a woman.

This is after the 5K.


A side effect to being in SLC while working is visiting other folks. This is at a 'get together' at a large house in Kaysville. These two kids had a lot of fun. The people involved: Malmstroms, Fergusons, Matagi's.



More side effects of the trip to SLC. This is Naki playing and flirting some more. The people involved: Tori, Naki, some folks playing rugby in the background with one of them being Joe.



We went to Red Bluff as a side effect of working in Redding CA. This is the Sacramento River in Redding near the Sundial Bridge. Naki was really liking water.


This is Turtle Bay and some natives in their natural habitat...

Post Summer

Here is more update for your seeing eye and wondering mind.

Naki's Grandma came to town to watch Naki while Naki's parents left Naki to play in Sin City. Sinning occurred.

This is not Lance Burton, but it is Nathan Burton. Magician....check.

Captain Jack Sparrow on the strip....check.

We were able to visit some locals that sue other locals. This is Zach P. Takos Attorney at Law and his family.

Belagio flowers....check.

Re-living the good ole days of 'drop your kids off at Circus Circus to go gamble....check.

The Venitian flowers....check.

Blue Man Group show.....check.

Little man on our return.
I'm not saying 'priceless'. Master Card will sue me. Other things on the list included three comedians, two buffets (Wynn, Harras), outlet shopping, and risk taking.

This is camping on Labor day weekend. We went to Lost Valley Reservoir in Idaho. Nice scenic place.

Naki is down with it.

He could be laughing....he could be crying....

The folks Naki went camping with. Karter Casperson, Spencer Pannell.

My Two Moms

I am currently trying to get the pictures of us cliff jumping into the river that leaves this reservoir. For your imagination, here is a concept:

The next week was the 'Art in the Park' where the local art museum (BAM) sponsors a festival. Jennette Purdy could work there....

Game Day

Time to think of some witty picture titles...

Fanua and Naki went to the Zoo and bought season passes. I left work to visit them there (it's Boise, everything is close). Naki thinking the animals will jump out of the camera.

Naki sizing up the penguins.

We don't have cable so here are the mere-cats we can watch.

We could have played with the wheel at home...

Naki thinks Daddy is a zoo animal...

Mommy and Naki

Grandpa would call this an 'animal movie'.

Always wondering if he is going to get in trouble for touching stuff...

Yes. If you touch that you will get in trouble.

Fine, I'll stop...

Cash for Clunkers

Not a lot of time as you can see....

Naki likes swings.

And Daddy

Don't drink and drive.

On the trail.

Camping July 2009.

Water and marshmallows.



Birds and bees.


Soul food.



Y NOT?


Fanua did the YNOT triathlon here in Boise.

Anyone else getting bored?

Summer Proper.

I got nothin.

Nana and Jay at the Pikula family reunion.

A couple of people in this picture got married on this day.

Grandma Speters finally gets to see Naki.

Naki got a dollar for his first birthday from Grandpa.

And some cake.

Before bite.

During bite.

After bite.

He's growing up.

And up.



He got a music CD from Grandma and Grandpa and likes to dance to it.



And lazy dance without having to stand up.



The phone book torture technique.



This is not a shameless WinCo plug.

More to follow.....

And here's more...
