About my oldest child.....Amy

she has her first swim meet as a 7th grader today. she is very nervous...

she has some 8th grade boy named, "Austin" who she keeps texting and he keeps texting back.... and I am hoping they both get their phones run over by a car. I am very nervous...

she is an excellent student.

she has a fun, delightful personality.

she is very cute.

she is a hard-worker.

Geesh, what boy wouldnt want to text her????

I am very nervous...

Is it wrong to pray for time to go backwards?

Three about me

Three jobs I have had: Dishwasher, carpet cleaner, and lawn care specialist. All these before the age of 21.

Three movies I would watch over and over: Die Hard (#1 man movie of all time), Shawshank Redemption and Elf (as a family it is committed to memory).

Three shows I watch: Being "cableless" nixes espn. Soooo I liked "Eli Stone" hence it was cancelled. "the office". and..... geesh I am reaching "seinfeld" in reruns.

Three places I have been: see my wife's list and add these 3... Europe, Bahamas and San Diego (my favorite!)

Three of my favorite foods: Steak, eggs and pizza.

Three places I would rather be right now: finishing up a stellar career in MLB, with my wife alone on vacation and not trying to be spiritual but I definitely would say Heaven.

Three things I am looking forward to this summer: Cubs baseball, Rocks baseball and trip to Alaska with Tia.

Conversations with a six year old

Andrew: Mom where are your hamstrings?
Mom: right here(pointing to the back of my thigh)
Andrew: You sure have big Hamstrings.
Mom: Thanks, I know, I'm really strong.
Andrew: (puzzled look on his face, because he knows I am not really strong)

I am tired of the snow but...







look where we will be in 4 months! Joe got confirmation yesterday that we are definitely going on the Alaskan cruise in June and he also earned 2 extra days in Vancouver. We have heard it's beautiful, just doesn't seem as enticing as Hawaii when we got 3 more inches of snow today! Hey, it's without the kids, so who cares where we go. I don't have to cook or clean for 7 days woohoo!

The snow is pretty but...











a year a go we were in Maui. I think I would rather be there.

Snow Day
















We enjoyed a day off today with a foot of snow. The kids had fun playing in the snow, sledding and building tunnels. They also made snow cones with snow. The dog even likes the snow!
Enjoy our beatiful trees, the roads aren't quite as pretty.
