Photo of the Day - 4/7/2012 - Cowboy Classic

I've always loved this photo of me as a kid. I am having such a great time dressed up in my cowboy gear. This time I think I am actually on a horse. I'm not certain but I believe this shot was taken shortly after my open-heart surgery (though I'd need some clarification from those who may remember). If so, I can see the joy and the gift of energy those doctors gave me. I wasn't sick anymore and was going to be a cowboy.

Photo of the Day - 4/6/2012 - Murder Most Foul SCB Style

School auctions are always a lot of fun. It's fun to buy things, but often more fun to gift experiences. In this case, some of the staff at St. Charles gifted a Murder Mystery in the Library. In this shot, Mr. Senko, Mrs. Pollock, Mrs. Stocks, Julie and I get into character prior to the event.

Basecamp for the Boysen Family Reunion at Carpinteria State Park was marked by the American Flag. There have been lots of memories created under this flag, whether Fourth of July fireworks extravaganzas or the loss and burial of beloved family who have served us and our country proud.

This shot, taken as long shadows began to make their way at the end of the day features cousins playing one last game of horseshoes before being called to pack it in.

This article appeared in the Lockheed employee newspaper shortly after my birth. While I didn't end up working for Lockheed, I know a lot of people who did. I tried to capture the text as best I could, but you may want to zoom in if you want to read it.

This was a big day for Patrick, Arainna, and our entire family. We converged on Salt Lake City (stayed in Park City) for the celebration.

What a blessing their marriage has been to each other and their four beautiful daughters.

Photo of the Day 4/1/12 - April Fools' Day

Some of you already saw this shot on Facebook - but thought I'd post it here since it is April Fools' Day. Luckily the semi was being towed. It just didn't look like it at first.
