Turkey-Stravaganza

"We had so much fun for Turkey Day this year. San Diego grandma and grandpa flew all the way out to little ol' Davenport just to hang out. It was grandpa Ron's first time out here so we had to pull out all the stops to show him a good time. First we had a hat party and I showed off a few lids from my collection.

And we even let grandma join in the fun too!And then we ate some good food.Mmmmmm.... mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy... how do I love thee?!?!?!Oooohh.. this looks good, I think I wash them taters down with some of this!

Next we ran a 5 mile race, decorated the Christmas tree and then came some more food!!

And of course I had to wash it all down again.Finally, we had a visit from the Jolly Red Fat Guy.

He told me that since I've been such a good boy he'd go on stage at the Davenport Festival of Trees and play Jingle Bell Rock in front of everybody, just for me!

Why do I get the feeling that I'll be telling my therapist about all this in the future?"

Cover Your Eyes

As the Big Turkey Day approaches it's hard not to be grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans. Our wonderful nation was founded by brilliant and inspired men. These brave men formed a system of checks and balances to ensure freedom and eliminate any possibility of tyranny and oppression. There is much to be admired and much we can learn from the study of our nation's history.
For example, a successful marriage must also have checks and balances to ensure equality and proper treatment of all family members. When these checks and balances disappear, disatrous consequences are imminent. I would like to cite a recent example as a case in point. Mom travels home with the little one to visit family, but dad can't make it. Mom decides to take pictures of little one. So far so good, but without the necessary and proper checks and balances things soon got out of hand.
Pictures start out like this...But somehow end up like this...
This is what happens when Daddy isn't around to keep Mommy in check. Let us not forget the innocent victim in this horrific tragedy. An unsuspecting little child, scarred for life by his own mother. A moment of silence, please...

La Vida Dulce

" It's a tough life... but hey, somebody's gotta do it"

Baby Got Soul

"You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain...

...too much love makes a man insane...

...you broke my will, but what a thrill...

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire!!"

Just One Of Those Days

"Do you ever have those days where your brain seems to be off in La-La Land? You know, you're just going along with the flow and then you realize you were supposed to make that right turn about 5 miles ago? Being only 8 months old I thought I'd be immune to those things, but apparently not.

The other day I got all dressed up and ready to head out for a stroll. It was a nice enough day, but a little chilly out.

There I was minding my own business when suddenly I realized that I couldn't see anything anymore.

Silly me... where was my mind at??

So then, on a different day, mom and pops were tellin me about this crazy stuff called snow. I guess it's some magical white stuff that's cold and it falls from the sky or something like that. They say you can have lots'o'fun in it and make snowmen, snowwomen and even snowbabies. Of course I got all excited and wanted to go check it out right away. But in my haste, I forgot a few things...

OK, let's go see some snow!

Wait a minute... where are my pants? And shouldn't I be wearing some sort of a shirt?

Oh well, I guess I'll just make the best of this situation and play inside. Maybe next time, snow."

And just for the grandmas out there, here's some live action video for you to enjoy!!

Workout at the Park

In order to get in better B-Ball shape Little Man has been seizing every opportunity to get stronger. Plus, it doesn't hurt to show off for the ladies every once in awhile too. Then it was time to relax and hit up the swings for some good old fashion fun.

"Whew... these things sure wear you out. Maybe I should only have done 10 sets of pull-ups instead of 15!"

Hoop Dreams

Little Man has decided to pick up some new skills. About 20 minutes after he was born, he and daddy watched the second half of a Utah Jazz game while mom was being sewn back together. Since he's pretty much a natural Little Man has decided to give it a shot. So far, his height is a little bit of a disadvantage but he's got a killer 3-point shot and a cross-over dribble that's out of this world fast!

"What... you think you can take me?"

So far things are going pretty well. He even inked a deal with the clothing company Under Armour so keep your eyes open for their emerging line of baby athletic gear. "Protect This House!"
