Lumberjack Basketball with Marcela and Andrew

 

Let the Fun Times Roll

I have decided to take the bus to Houston in order to surprise Marcela and Andrew at the Airport. She has my truck so in order not to have two vehicles I had this bright idea. All is well once we got started. The bus was an hour late getting to Nacogdoches.

Me

Having fun at work while I was waiting for the computer to out load a session.

P.S. So I sent this in to a online comp and got to have it run as part of a show in New York over the weekend. Wow killed two birds with one stone I got to model and shoot a pic for a gallery showing in New York....

Birthday Weekend

We actually closed the studio for the weekend and Marcela and I just did 'nothing'. We just, hung out, watched movies, slept, and enjoyed each others company with no responsibilities. We had Auntie Pasta for dinner one night and Marcela made me breakfast in bed Sunday it was just about a perfect birthday weekend. Except for little man is still gone to Mexico but he is coming home soon. Below is my breakfast and my wonderful birthday cake....

Fun new toy

All the cameras I have around here and still I have found a fun new toy camera. These were all taken with the Hipstamatic App for iPhone. It is a digital make over of the old Hipstamatic camera they were cheap inconstant and some what a guessing game but that is what gave them a cult following. The new digital version is following well in it's older brothers foot steps. There are art gallery's and traveling shows consisting of submissions from only the Hipstamatic digital App.

Trip to NASA

Mexico

Marcela and I are back from taking Andrew to Monterrey, Mexico. We meet up with Marcela's Mom and left Andrew to spend a month with her in Guadalajara, Mexico. It took 12 hours for us to travel from Nacogdoches to Marcela's sister's house in Monterrey. 2 hours of that to get all the permits and stuff at the border. Andrew was great he never complained never asked to stop he went when we stopped and had no problems at all. I was impressed for a 6 year old he travels better than most adults. Marcela and I came back Wednesday a little slower took some pictures stopped for dinner in Humble with my Dad and enjoyed each others company. She was espically nice since she was not frustrated at me for not putting her bag in the truck which meant she came home in the same clothes she went down in and with no makeup. Sorry again....We had a great trip but as the pic shows the road is littered with reminders of those who didn't make it so we thank God each time for letting us come home safe and pray it will be his will in July when we make this trip again to pick Andrew up.

The Hill

Here are some pics I took last night at the Hill. I was just playing and killing time but I like them none the less. The porta-john made me laugh. Hope you enjoy.

Congrats Angie & Cathy

Congrats again to Angie & Cathy on their wedding on the 23rd of May. Here is a pic that Glenn got that day.

Bo & Tiff

We had a great time these past 3 days with Bo and Tiff. It is amazing that in three days they managed to fit in so much from bowling and shooting pool with Marcela and I to going and giving presentations about Alaska to both Andrew's and Mom's classes. As well as making dinner for everyone. Hate that the trips are so short but love the time we get to share with them. Can't wait till they come back. They are gone west to see Addison (and Tracy & Lauren) and Tiff's family. Then back here for five more days. I can't wait.

New Twits or Tweeters?

I don't know what you call someone who is on Twitter, but a Twit or maybe a Tweeter either sounds funny I guess Tweeter is better. Either way we have two new Tweeters Marcela and Bo joined as well as now the studio is tweeting. Other family news Bo and Tiff will be here Monday yeah we all so excited... Andrew is going to Houston for the weekend to hang out with Grandpa. Last but not least congrats to Cathy and Angie on their wedding this weekend. Sorry we can't make it but we will be here working at another wedding for the studio.

Twitter

Are any of you on twitter? I know I thought it was kinda strange but it is kinda fun it is free of course and for those iphone users there is a free app called -twitterrific- I got the free one only difference between it and thew $4 one is a small ad bar on the tweet viewing screen. You can set your twitter to text you with each update or let you just check it manually. If you don't have unlimited text don't do the text I get hundreds of updates from the few I have on my list. If you decide to try it let me know you can follow me at twitter.com/randyrcoe Hope to hear from you.

Addison

I missed Addison's dedication but I know it was a wonderful event I remember Andrew's Christening such a happy day. I am proud of Lauren and Tracy and I think you both make great parents. I am glad to see how dedicated you are to raise your child knowing Christ. Lauren and Tracy have not seen this picture it is an announcement Marcela made a few days ago and we all loved it. (Lauren I have a copy of it here for you)

Happy Mothers Day

Just wanted to send a Rose out all the mothers out there. Have a great day.

Father of Texas

Every May The guys at Pro Show Live and the wonderful staff at the Nacogdoches Expo Center put together the Father of Texas show a great night of country music last night they entertained us all with Jonny Cooper, Bleu Edmondson, and the head liner, the 2009 ACM Top New Male Vocalist, Jake Owen. Here are a few pictures of Jake from the show.

Taekwondo

Andrew has been taking Taekwondo classes and he is really loving it. Since these pics were taken he has earned his Orange Striped Belt and his first black stripe for that belt. He is very proud. Marcela has also started taking classes and is doing really well but she didn't want to take pictures in her uniform.

The Calendar

So many of you keep asking about the calendar so I put the cover on here Marcela did all of the session for the inside and the layout design I shot the cover picture and did the retouch work up on all the images it was a different experience we welcome new challenges like this. Marcela is working on a fashion series for models and clothing/ cosmetics lines.

Sorry I Forgot....

I reread some old post and relized I never posted any pictures of Andrews puppy like I said I would. Andrew named him Rex he is now 6 months old. He is half Dachshund and half Yorkshire Terrier.

Too Funny...

The first person to reply to the Wedding ring picture post "Help Name This Picture" was some one with a post named ' Find A Grave Marker ' I hope that's not your suggestion.

Help Name This new Picture

I did this recentley and have been looking for a name. I have been
playing around with something like 'True Love Shines Through' I don't
think I am completely sold on it though so I am open to suggestions.
Hope you like it.
