A whole different kind of photography and videography this weekend alongside Lara Rivera Photography!

Getting to link back up with the Bomb Squad (FRC Team 16) is never dull to say the least! They’re hosting OMB (Ozark Mountain Brawl) in the Hangar this weekend and things are already getting exciting! The exhibition matches have been a blast to watch, skills challenges are getting ready to kick off and later this evening the qualifying matches begin as teams prepare for tomorrow’s competition.

One of my favorite things about FIRST Robotics is seeing the competitive spirit in these kids. They want to win and they work hard to win but they’re also some of the first people cheering when their peers succeed. There’s something pretty special about watching that kind of sportsmanship, teamwork and genuine excitement all come together.

A huge shoutout to the Bomb Squad, all the participating teams, the coaches, mentors, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes to make this weekend possible. A special thank you to 8Ball Amusement for putting together an awesome display, Mountain Home Public Schools and everyone else who had a hand in bringing this event together. These opportunities don’t happen without people willing to invest their time, energy and resources into these young men and women.

We’re looking forward to capturing plenty more REBUILT action tonight and into tomorrow! Plenty of photos and videos to come!

Sincerely, one proud STEM Dad!

Alright, we’ve shown you the cards, introduced a few more Bombers to the mix and teased that ordering information was coming. Now we can finally answer the question we’ve probably gotten the most since this project started… How much are they?

We’ve been working through the pricing side from the beginning because there’s a lot of time that goes into building each athlete’s card but we also wanted to keep them at a price that makes sense for families who want enough to actually enjoy, share and use.

So without further delay the pricing is officially set!

20 cards — $50
Includes the custom design and first 20 printed cards.

Each additional set of 20 — $30

100 cards — $150

Every card is built specifically around the athlete using their photo, information and story. Custom front, custom back and professionally printed. We’re also giving each sport its own personality while keeping everything connected as one collection.

These don’t have to be just a cool keepsake. For athletes looking toward the next level they can also be a unique marketing tool for college programs. Something tangible to put in a coach’s hands that gives them a little more than a name, number and stat line.

If you’re interested in having one created or want to know more about using these as part of the college recruiting process reach out. We’d be happy to tell you more!

A little update for the ladies and gentlemen we’ve been working on cards for and maybe more importantly an apology for the delay!

Life got a little wild not long after we started this project, so the cards had to sit on the bench for a bit. We’ve finally gotten some time to start messing with them again and what better way to get rolling than with our Mountain Home Bombers Football Head Coach, Steve Ary! His information came in, we were able to put the finishing touches on his card and wanted to share it along with this update.

The list has grown a little since the original run too! A few more Bombers have been added to the mix, the Voice of the Bombers is currently in the works AND the Lady Bombers Volleyball team will be getting a full set! One of the ladies is helping us gather everyone’s information now so we can start putting those together.

One of the coolest things to come out of this project has been finding out how some of these cards are being used. For our Seniors, they’re a unique piece to include with graduation announcements and information. We’ve also got Bombers using them as a recruitment tool to send out to college programs. Which is a brilliant idea and makes these even more than just a cool keepsake.

We do have a few more already in the works that we haven’t posted yet. So yours may already be on our list. If there’s a Bomber you’d like to see done that we haven’t gotten to, reach out and let us know!

Thank you all for your patience and for the support you’ve shown this project. We’re excited to get back to creating these and seeing where everyone takes them.

GO BOMBERS!!

It is hard to believe that it has already been twenty-five years. Those of us who were alive at the time remember the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call and a day that changed all of us. But personally, I find myself thinking about the day after.

September 12th showed us what we could be when the things that divide us became smaller than the things that brought us together. We were neighbors. We were Americans. Dare I say, in a way, we were all family. We looked out for one another, stood beside one another and found strength in each other. We stood united. I wish it hadn’t taken tragedy to bring that out in us and I hope it doesn’t take another one for us to find it again.

Today, though, we remember September 11th. We respectfully honor those we lost and those who lost so much that day. And maybe we can also remember a little of who we were on September 12th and find our way back to that.

Took a few Friday night moments and gave them a little old-school treatment.

Here are a few from a 2026–27 Mountain Home Bomber Football trading card series we’ve been working on. Each card is a little different but they’re all built to feel like they came from the same deck.

Some designs don’t get replaced.
They get reforged.

This is a rework of an original design we created for GRØWLƎRZ FORGE•WORKS.

Same backbone.
Tighter lines.
More intention.

Everything that mattered stayed and everything else got cut.

If you’re into paracord, forging and hands on craft (with 3D printing coming into the mix) go check them out and follow along.

Real work. Real process. No filler.
