Uncle Dave with his niece Rachel

One of the Thanksgiving weekend highlights... the 1,000 piece puzzle Krista picked out!

The determination to finish the puzzle before the end of the weekend was quite impressive!

In the end, the puzzle was complete and Krista was given the honor of placing the final piece! Yea Team!

Hangin' with Aunt Liz

While in Spokane for Thanksgiving, Krista got to spend the night with her Aunt Liz!

She's got one of the coolest pads in Spokane

Statute of Limitations Has Expired...

This video is now more than 12 months old which means I can now post it without getting thumped by my younger sister, Elizabeth. Krista, on the other hand, may still come and beat on me... but you have to agree, they are pretty darn cute!

This was shot at a family reunion in Grass Valley, California last summer. SING IT GIRLS!

An Afternoon At Burt's Alpaca Farm

There's just no substitute for the smell of a farm... Mmmm... Close your eyes, can you smell it? Actually, this farm smelled pretty good, and the alpacas were pretty fun to feed and pet. We learned alot about alpacas today... their fleece, registering them, when they came to the states... it was a very cool field trip!

Here's Burt overseeing the feeding. Burt ownes the farm and is a regular at our coffee shop. He invited us over today to visit. Thanks Burt! We had a blast!

Jesus Is My Friend...

Um... okay, I really don't know WHAT to say about this video other than my sister, Jeannette, forwarded this to me. Don't expect to hear this on ANY radio station ANY time soon!

Welcome Home...

After being in the body repair shop for over a month, it's nice to have the old Subaru back home with a nice new shiny paint job, and no sign of having colliding with a bicyclist! The guys at "A Master Touch" in Portland did a fantastic job. Now I'm on the hunt for a set of wheels and tires from a Subaru WRX... as nice as the car looks, the wheels and tires sure look old and tired.

GO BRONCOS!

This past Saturday, Shauna and I got to spend the day with our friends Kevin and Kristi who drove up for the day from Boise! We drove down to Eugene for the Ducks vs. Broncos game. We were all decked out in our Boise State attire and we were pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the Ducks were to us Broncos... even AFTER WE BEAT THEM!

Upon returning home from being gone for 12 hours, we were welcomed with this cake tribute to the Boise State win from our daughter Krista. What a great kid!

Missing A Friend...

Lee Schafer

Apr 14, 1946 - Sep 9, 2008

Yesterday morning, my good friend Lee Schafer suffered a heart attack that eventually took his life today around 10:30am. Lee started out as my boss giving me my first job in radio. He was the one who took a chance on a 16 year old kid who was anxious to get into the business. He was a careful business man and had a heart for God and spreading the Word through broadcasting. We had many days filled with laughter and the occasional Chicago Connection Pizza. One of my favorite memories was when the station's program director prank called Lee from down the hall... when Lee realized the goofball calling him was just down the hall, he RAN down the hall and literally climbed over the PD's desk to take him down. That same PD had water poured on the front of his pants in retaliation by Lee while he was laying on his back to fix some wiring under the counter in the control room. Lee's sense of humor was awesome, and his heart for God and service to the church even more so. I can't imagine KSPD and KBXL without Lee there, but I know God wouldn't have called him home if the operation wasn't in great hands... the rest of his family.

I will miss you, Lee... but I rest in the promise that we will see each other again. Being in heaven with Jesus is better by far.
