In front of Jessie Billiards with an Ice Cold Tecate and a shot of tequilla that I have obviously hid in my pants for some reason. What the hell?
Hookers! I'm that naive that I didn't even know. My Castillian Spanish is excellent, Tex-Mex not so much. So the fact that they where negotiating a price and I was ordering a beer didn't work out so well. $25.00 for a Tecate was a little steep considering I had just payed 50 cents for one around the corner at Jessie's.
Here is a picture of Colter during the Red River Rivalry. We don't normally allow Burnt Orange in my house but we made an exception this one time. The deal is, Colter's Uncle Cory is attending UT and will soon be graduating. Cory and Allison got Colter this shirt for the game so we thought that we would let him wear it this one time. You will see what happened later on.....
Obviously, Colter wasn't a big fan of UT or OU at this time. Which Cheryl and I had nothing to do with. He made this decision on his own. From what I can gather, he wasn't to excited about the "stellar" play by either team. His Dad can totally agree with that.
Here, Colter and I are discussing the finer points of the spread offense and the whole Mike Leach system. The fact that my 5 month old has a pretty good grasp on the concept speaks highly of Cheryl and myself's parenting skills. Not only is he the best looking kid ever, he is intelligent to boot!! I give props to his mom on this one.
In this photo, Colter is explaing why having a 2 back set is somewhat beneficial and somewhat hindering at the same time. While there are 2 running backs behind the line of scrimmage, that won't always keep the defensive backs honest with their intentions. You can use them to pick up a blitz or surge out for a swing pass, but the DB doesn't have to give up his position / look before the play is in motion. I'm so impressed with my son's extensive knowledge of football at his age that I........
eat his foot. That's all I can think to do at this point. Although I'm very proud of my son and his ability to understand the game of football, I'm a little worried that he will get a grasp on it and start telling me what's going on rather than the other way around. Fun to think about yet a little scary at the same time.
Here we are discussing the inner-workings of the internal combustion engine. In particular the Harley Davidson V-Twin. To make it even more complicated we have narrowed it down to the 74" Panhead. He has yet again baffled me with his brilliance. Proud father to say the least.....
Colter is only about 4 months old in this picture but he knows what he likes. At the rate he's growing we should have one big and healthy boy on our hands. The thought of the grocery bill is making me think I might need a second job to support his eating habits.
Quality father-son time. He likes to be tossed in the air for long periods of time. To the point my arms are like rubberbands. He also likes to scare other family members when we do this......
We call this one the "upside down baby". You can tell by the look on his face that this is probably in his top 5 Favorite Things. He will giggle and laugh for hours on end. I know, you are jealous of me and the fact that my son is super awesome.
This was Colter's reaction when we told him there was no water on the lake right now and he couldn't go swimming or wakeboard. I feel for him. In fact, I was having the exact same reaction on the other side of the camera.
Colter's 4th of July outfit. I wasn't in Austin to see this, but it didn't turn out to bad. Good job Mom, you can still pick out clothes as of right now. He sure is a good looking kid. His hair is getting really long....
This is Colter and I inside a big tree. I didn't really think that I would fit at first. I didn't dare look behind me and see the troll of elf that was awaiting me.
Colter tends to get a little gassy after feeding. This little trick here relieves the gas and makes him smile. I've had countless friends that are parents look at this kinda weird. The moms don't approve and the dads admit to liking it.
Colter is developing a great taste for good music. Here, we're enjoying the finer notes of Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On". I am going to take full credit for that. Thank you!! He's really fond of just about anything on the radio or ipod, but it seemed to calm him down and make him smile when I would sing to him. We've also discovered he likes George Strait, Freddie King, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, Pat Travers, Blues Traveler, Lynard Skynard, John Lee Hooker, Wes Jeans, Joe Bonamasa, Dave Hole, Walter Trout Power Trio, Derek Trucks Band, and countless other blues bands. He hasn't quite taking a liking to my metal preferences but he does tolerate it at lower volumes. He has absolutely no taste for classical music at this point. Kind of strange but I can deal with it. I didn't like it until I was older either.
