Updated Kids Pics

Here's some fall photos I have been waiting to post...OK...I lied...I just haven't gotten around to it. It's been a really warm fall thus far so the kids have been having a lot of fun playing outside.

Sports Photography

I haven't posted anything recently. We have been pretty busy with camp stuff and various projects. Hopefully December will slow down a little and I can catch up in some posting.

Throughout the past few months I have been taking a sports photography class through a local art institute. It has been a fabulous opportunity and has been so much fun. Here is one of my favorite pics so far. You can view some of the others on my flickr page (www.flickr.com/jasoncoon).

Happy Anniversary Grandpa!

We stopped in to visit my Grandpa Coon the other day. It was a few days after his 72nd anniversary! What a heritage Emily and I have for our marriage! We had the opportunity to take his guitar to him and sing some hymns with him. It was a great reminder of our faith and the importance of family.

Medal of Honor Recipients

Medal of Honor, originally uploaded by coonjamm.

Emily and I enjoyed a great Cubs game yesterday with my parents. It was a beautiful day in the city, the girls did some shopping (while Dad and I sat on any available couch), and we ate at a really unique restaurant called Cozy Noodle and Rice which was really good.

At the beginning of the Cubs game there was a ceremony to honor armed services medal of honor recipients. It was about at 10 minute ceremony that had the whole stadium on their feet clapping and cheering for these men who had risked their lives for others. This is the highest honor bestowed on anyone in the armed services. At the end of the ceremony was a fly over which was really cool.

Anyway...here's a couple pics from our day...

A Great Family Vacation

Early Morning Sunrise, originally uploaded by coonjamm.

We had a great family vacation at Coldwater Lake this past week. It was great times enjoying playing with the kids, golfing (Jason), shopping (Emily), and riding the jet skis (everyone except Britt).

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Andrews for making this possible!!

Kalamazoo valley museum

We're at the Kalamazoo valley museum today learning all about area history. It's really interesting learning about checker cab, gibson guitars, stryker, upjohn and other Kalamazoo area businesses. The highlight of the trip was B running full speed into clear glass. I wish I had a video of that.

The guitar pictured is from gibson guitars. It's a combo harp and guitar. My grandpa coon would have loved seeing it.

Astronaut Emily

This is from the air zoo the other day. This thing was pretty sweet.

day at the zoo

We're all enjoying the toledo zoo today. It's the best.
