Way Back Wednesday – Home Town Theater
February 3rd, 2011 Tyson I grew up in a small town in Western North Dakota called Belfield. It was nothing more than a small dot on the map but to me it was home and I have many memories of that place. One of them is this theater. I remember going to this theater as a kid with my Dad and watching one of the original SuperMan movies. Then it closed and remained closed for many years. The roof leaked, chairs were ruined, and it was a mess. Then a local businessman decided he wanted to restore it and once again have a place for the people of Belfield to enjoy a movie. Volunteers gathered (I helped paint) to help with the restoration and soon we had the old theater up and running. I spent many a weekend here watching movies during High School. Seeing this picture brings back a lot of memories.

Jello Hair
January 26th, 2011 Tyson 
My daughter was telling me on the way to school today about a conversation she had with one of her friends at school. She had asked her friend if she knew who I was. Her friend replied with a “I think so. Isn’t he the one that has sort of spikey hair?” My daughter responded “Yes. He puts jello in it. Not really sure why.”
At that point I got to explain to her the difference between gel and jello.
Custom Truck Lamp
January 17th, 2011 Tyson Ashley and purchased a metal truck from Hobby Lobby a few weeks back to use as a decoration for our soon to be son’s nursery. One night I was looking at the thing and thought how great it would look as a lamp. So I set forth on a quest to find one of those “make your own lamp” kits from my local hardware store. Not finding what I wanted, I searched the internet, again with no luck. Then I thought why couldn’t I take an existing lamp, take it apart, and uses the pieces for my lamp? And that is what I did.
Below are the pictures of the final project. I don’t think it could have turned out any better. I am very proud of my lamp truck!

Weekly Link Love
November 22nd, 2010 Tyson 
I am going to start posting links to blogs and sites that I frequent and enjoy. I am hoping to spread the wealth of great sites out there for others to enjoy. For today I am going to start off with blogs that are for Dad’s. Sometimes Dad’s get forgotten about when it comes to caring for our kids. Below are two Dad’s that have great involvement in their kid’s lives. That is something I strive to do as well. I highly respect any father that goes above and beyond the normal “Dad” duties.
Websites for Dad’s
Daddoes.com - The Place Where Dads Do Things and Review Things.
A great site that reviews all the latest and greatest toys. This is a great site for finding a great toy or game for your little guy or gal.
Daddysdown.com – A blog about life, kids and fatherhood. Has anyone seen my coffee mug.
I really enjoy this blog. He has some great posts about what its like to be Dad along with some great examples of things not to do as a Dad. The think I like the best is his weekly Datificates. My kids love this idea and cannot wait to try them out.
Dads4life.org - Because They Follow Our Lead
This is a site that I follow on Twitter. They are a non-profit organization that exist to provide Fathers of all ages, races, religion or cultures the support, education and information to enhance their lives and change the future of our nation.
