I knew it had to happen at some time.

Last weekend: My boys asked me to grab the camera.

I went upstairs and I recorded what they did. Ben edited it into their first episode. I made a few suggestions, but this is the boys’ work. Their first, all by themselves, work.

As for the content…well, I actually didn’t think it was funny, just cute; but they showed it to two of their close friends, Isaac & Jaron, and I couldn’t believe how much they laughed. As soon as it ended they asked to play it again because they couldn’t hear all of it because they were laughing so hard.

So, to really enjoy this show, find a boy who hasn’t become a teenage yet…and watch it with them.

I’m a proud dad. I have two creative boys who amaze me beyond my wildest dreams.

Guitar Fight

Ben and his long-time buddy, Isaac, got together this weekend and wrote, drew, animated, recorded and programmed the first in a series called “Is and Be” short for Is(aac) and Be(n). To watch it, just click on the image.

Is and Be - Happy Mother’s Day

Ben and Jack have been programming with MIT’s new programming language for Elementary students called Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu). Here is one of Ben’s cartoons he’s created. When we were in Texas, Ben and the twins (cousins) were out playing when they looked up and saw a fawn-deer. What happened next was funny for two of them…and traumatic for one. The fawn, though never seen again, has since been named Buddy.

All characters and buddy were drawn by Ben

Ben is part of the semo.net Traveling Team which played in a tournament in Ellington (50 miles away from Poplar Bluff). They took 2nd place and had a great time. He was part of a 6-4-3 double play. The smile on his face was huge!

Jack has moved up the batting order during his career as a Texas Ranger. Now batting #3 and Dad is convinced it is because of games like last night. He came up to bat three times and got a single, double and home-run. Look at the determination on his face, we are so proud of our youngest!
