more evidence
allow me to present exhibit b. i seem to remember my sister jessica check in on us to mock our perdicament with a toy shovel. this photo was taken shortly after she clipped ben and darted off back to her warm santuary..ie her bedroom.
this appears to have been taken on a different day as the previous photo since ben is wearing my blast hat.
evidence!
in response to this previous post, this 1987 photo (also the year the Joshua Tree was released) is proof of my brother ben and i's sacrifice for the house's warm fireplace. while my sister jessica organized her barbie doll collection, ben and i toiled in these harsh conditions with nearly frostbit apendages.
also note my brother's walking stick. i remember him being hurt, almost crippled in the tundra of our backyard, but still enduring the harsh conditions to provide the necessary supplies for the house's heat. we were lucky this day. there was only a few inches of snow instead of the normal several feet we had to shovel first just to get to the wood.

shortly after these photos were taken, jasper said he needs to give this toy a rest for a bit. his tiny little nuts can be crunched like that for only so long...

the king lounging around in his castle
enjoy it while it lasts jasper, before long you'll be outside with me cutting the grass, washing the car, + chopping firewood...
mara hard at work
the other night, i secretly snapped this pict of mara hard at work on the computer, enjoying a delectable potato chip (i think that is a potato chip). enjoy this pict while it lasts. i have a feeling she will log in + delete it before long... 
old town pasadena
i've had numerous requests to show a bit more of the hood. so here are a few shots of old town i snapped today. it was uncharastically cloudy today. if you click on the bottom pict on the left, you can see where shadedbox is located.
jasper drinks
jasper doesn't quite get the concept of gravity yet, but he likes holding the bottle by himself.

little bush makes a visit
little bush, aka the unibomber, stopped over for a guiness and curry chicken.
jasper has already taken a fancy towards the poisen + even tried to retrieve some of it out of little bush's mouth.

daily picts
jasper decided he didn't care too much for nice pretty pictures of trees + friendly smiley faces, so he tore them to shreds. i told jasper i would not publish any more pictures of him squealing in pain from vaccine shots, so he was happy.

if jasper is looking a little french in this shot, it's becuase the frenchman and his lovely wife gnoc gave it to him. thank guys! (xavier, aka frenchman, works at shadedbox)
the correct way to nibble
maya had some pointers to share with jasper on the fine art of nibbling on your fingers. jasper took note.

preperation
while mara took care of the puerto rican beans, the men were left to grill'n. grosser takes his barbeque quite seriously. this means he only roasts with lump charcoal + soaked mosquite woodchips. the rub is also a secret recipe. in addition, the recipe calls for an orange bowl, orange measuring cups, and prepared against an orange backdrop.
happy labor day!
dear friends carina + adrian came over with thier beautiful girls amber + maya for some slow smoked ribs and puerto rican beans. here is a shot of mara + i's God daughter maya.
