Lego Board Games

Clara loves making board games out of his Legos. They are usually based on whatever dhe is reading at the time(i.e. Percy Jackson, Harry Potter). This is her first original concept.

Been busy

Hello everybody. We have been crazy busy. Lots going on. Finn is 3 Clara is in 2nd grade. Tarehna is working a long term sub gig and I am back on the phones in a cube enrolling people into school. What else has been going on? Well in Feb T and I participated in FAWM (February Album Writing Month. Brandon, Tarehna), My band, Zombies Love Gizzards, also recorded and released an album. Oh, AND this year will Tarehna and I celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and are throwing a shindig. Please feel free to click all the preceding links and leave comments everywhere. We love feedback! ~Brandon

Finn turns 3!

So, we just had Finn's 3rd birthday party. This kid is huge! As big as a four year old. Anyway, when Tarehna asked Finn what kind of party he wanted he said "unicorn." So unicorn it was. Unicorn toys and pointy party hats and ice cream cones on cupcakes. We had a great time and Finn loved it so much. Our good friends brought their copies of Glee for Wii and we all sung.

Art of the BurkeWicker kids

Wanted to share some art the kids have done recently. They have been drawing like crazy this month. Both have gotten really good. Here's a little guy Finn drew. It looks a lot like the guys Clara used to draw. Here's two worlds coming together to do something that I couldn't really understand, but it sure looks super cool. And a collaborative piece. Finn did the paint and Clara drew guys on it.

July 4th Weekend 2010

We had a great 4th. BBQ and fireworks with the Browns then BBQ and lightsaber battles with Abuelita y Grumpa. Not too much else to write other than Finn has been copying everything Clara has been doing.

Preston's Fathers' Day Movie

Preston made a little lego movie for Brandon for Fathers' Day. He wrote, directed, voiced and created the characters. I edited and shot the thing.

Natural History of the Hex Bug

Preston asked to make this. He is awesome!

Finn's 2nd Birthday

Been behind on the blogging. These are the pics from Finn's 2nd birthday. Wow, 2 already, but the size of a 3 or 4 year old. Tarehna made peanut butter and jelly cupcakes. The Browns joined us for the festivities which meant we had 5 crazy monkeys in the house, including our 2. Finn's big scores were alphabet cards and puzzles!

Roadtrip, 2010

Better late than never is the BurkeWicker motto. Or maybe it isn't. Anyway, if you've got three minutes and change, watch this montage from our trip last month down to California. You'll note that not only did we travel down to Disneyland, but we also apparently traveled back in time!

Screaming monkeys

Pictures from this last Easter can be found here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_pdub/sets/72157623870452632/
But we also have a fun video of the boys being freaky deaky.

Disneyland!
