7-11

well devoted readers, we did it. Me and Sam completed year one of the marriage. Pretty good weekend. We got to see Ella and Caleb on Friday and Me and Sam celebrated on Saturday. Nothing too fancy, kept it pretty casual. Went over to Cafe Maude in Minneap. Pretty tasty, although it was one of those fancy places where they think the meat should be real pink. It actually tasted fine to me but Sam couldn't get past it. Don't have too many pics from the weekend, we just haven't been on our game. Next week should be plenty of pics, the big Tomten jam is going down next saturday. Should be great times.

Couldn't find any wedding pics so this will have to do.


Pool time.



Wrasslin Time!

Onto the link of the week. Wayne said he likes Hall & Oates, which he should cuz they are amazing. Here is a vid from one of the all time greats that no one else seems to like.




This one is too amazing not to post.



Sang this one about 5 times today, I think Sam was ready to call the whole thing off.

I am so mad at you right now.

Greeting readers! hope you all had a good 4th. Busy times at the Strehlo house. The Larson crew welcomed in Carson David this past week, almost a 10 pounder. Maggie went in to get induced and they ended up with a C section. Baby and mom are doing great. We didn't do an amazing job with pics this week but here are some below of the baby and the Henne party and none from Monday fun day at square lake. We ended up getting to swim for about an hour before it started pouring, not cool.

** Random thumbs up from the week. **** Just watched the last 30 min of the bachelor tonight, high comedy classic tv. Very funny stuff.

** Prediction of the week *** I got Netherlands taking the world cup.






All ready to see his new cousin.
Max wouldn't stay in his pack n play so he slept with mommy for a little while.
Lil Carson
I'm so happy I can't stop crying!
Carson was born at like 3am so Max was a little tired when they got back to the hotel and decided to pass out on the floor.

First jacuzzi bath.





Got a couple comments about the song I did last week. Here is the real deal - Little Lion Man

Fadda's Day

Hello All,

Been a little hiatus from the blog the last few weeks. Last 2 Sundays have been kinda crazy. Not too much new to report over here. Had a band practice Saturday, went pretty well, should be a solid show. Celebrated Jeremy's b day on Sat. night and me and Max did some shopping Sunday at the farmers market. Nothing too good out there yet.

** Random thoughts ****

I have been enjoying the world cup. Granted the U.S. game was poorly officiated and the jerk on the radio gave me the score of the game about an hour before I watched it, but that being said it was still pretty exciting. The New Zealand Italy game was about the most exciting tie I have ever seen too, really good game. I'll have to give the Premier League a shot when it starts up.

How come ladies are such jerks? Whenever I go biking and pass a dude 70% of the time I'm going to get a hi or nod. Passing the ladies? Probably about %40. And passing a fellow cycler, about 95%, gotta love the biker code.

****

Well, those are my thoughts for the week, here are some pics below. Maybe a tune for you later too. ** Update- no tune tonight, maybe tomorrow?



Breakfast at IHOP. Does anything beat bfast at the hop, i don't think so.

Max & Taylor
Tractor ride with Jeff
Goofing around with Sara.

Well Alright, It's Okay

Greetings readers, busy times for the Strehlo fam this last couple weeks, Memorial Day, birthdays, parties, concerts, etc. Here's some pics from the last weekend. Last night we went to She & Him at First Ave with Jerry & Sara. Good times. They were all business, just whipping through their songs. Concert was excellent, didn't love their encore selection but other than that it was very solid. We did see a girl going barefoot in first ave, that was disgusting. Today we are off to celebrate Lars' b day at famous daves, mmmmmm famous daves.

Got some other big news, looks like the Northernmost Pilots are going to be the last act to perform at the big TomTEN jam this year. Wow, what an honor. Basically in the last 4 years I have went from not playing music at all to jamming every week. Special thanks to the Wrenshall crew for putting this Dingwop together and getting me back to rocking out. Should be great times, Wayne made a pretty cool looking flyer too, you'll have to check out his site.

Onto the Pics!!!


Pooltime, Max loves it. Should be a good way to have some fun and get some rays this summer.

Reading time at the Larsons.
Catching up with his old friends on Thomas Ave.
Taking a break at Nikki's grad party. He was a maniac.
Sam's tequila drink at Bario. Very tasty, I could've chugged the whole thing. I decided to eat one of the cherries in the drink. Wow, that baby was potent.
Potato Sopes.
Minneapolis, turned out to be a nice night. I went a little picture crazy. I won't bore you with the other ones though.
Jerry in front of First Ave. They are in the process of repainting the stars on the outside. Rumor is there redoing the bathrooms and the restaurant. Yep you heard it right restaurant, I guess they will be selling more than hot dogs and nachos, maybe some Pizza is next!

Decided to get a brew and I wanted something a little bigger than the 12 oz.er. I didn't realize this baby was a pint + 8 oz. Quite a mammoth drink. I was basically lugging around a champagne bottle.





Here is the clip of the week, couldn't find a great live one, so this will do. Everyone is pretty subdued here. The older rhythm guitar player in the background was sweet at the concert. He had good energy rocking out, I dug him.

We have to go back!

Hello readers, early Sunday post for you. Nothing too exciting to report. Had a BBQ at the Forys house on Friday, a little band practice on Sat. and Sam and Max are at a baby shower right now. Made some excellent progress toward TomTEN, should have about 10-12 songs for all of our rabid fans, just about all new stuff too. Here are some pics for everyone, enjoy!


Max & his new buddy Calla.
Slide time with Mr. Met

Hanging out by the fire.
would I like Smore? yes please!
Probably one of my top 10 favorite pics. I should go through our shots and get a top ten list. Another project for another time.


Needed a new band photo for the upcoming tour. Here are some outtakes, I am sure Wayne will post the final pic on his blog in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

One more quick Lost link for ya, can you tell i am a little pumped for the finale, hopefully it doesn't let me down.
