Animated Adventures

"Pinky... are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I think so Connor-Brain, but how are we going to get Arnold Swarchzenegger to autograph all those lollipops and where are we going to put all the leftover cheese, Narf!??"

"No Pinky, you idiot! We're going to do the same thing we always do."

"Egad, Connor-Brain, what's that!?"

"Try to take over the world!!!"

"Pinky, I have just discovered a most genius invention, the likes of which will allow us to conquer the world in no time at all."
"How's it work, Connor-Brain?"
"Simple enough that even you can do it Pinky. You simply stand behind here and push it like that. Here I'll show you how...

...with this diabolical machine nothing can stop us! There's isn't anywhere we can't go. Nothing is out of reach and everything and everyone will exist in a state of danger. With a machine as powerful as this there is no turning back. The world is at our finger tips at last!"

"Wa ha ha ha!!!!"

Sunny San Diego

A few days ago we were sittin at home just chillin with the Little Man when he turned to us and said,"Mom...dad... I'm tired of this cold and freezing weather. Let's get outta here and go somewhere warm and sunny, like California perhaps. Plus, Cali has really good Mexican food and they sell churros there." We had to admit, he sure put together a rock solid argument. We tried to find any flaws in his plan, but there wasn't any. California is warm and sunny. And it does have good Mexican food. So away we went!

Just for fun, we decided to invite all the cousins to come and play while we happened to be in Cali. It was good times for all.

Then we realized having 10 kids crammed inside a house was a bit overwhelming, so we decided to head outside for some sunshine and fun.

" Pucker up ladies... I'm still single now, but this item isn't gonna be on the market for too much longer! "
"Faster, mommy, faster!"
" I can see my house from here!!...Oh, wait a minute, that's just a tree. My bad. "
"Hey this spinny thing is kinda cool. I should kick him off and bring a date! Then when she's all woozy from spinning too fast she'll fall right into my arms."All the hard work at the park really burned some calories so we had to go home and refuel.

"Mmmmm... birthday cake......good!!!"
"Hey check it out, I look like my daddy now. I bet he wishes his goatee was made of chocolate yummi-ness."

Man Training

The off-season may have just begun but it's never too early to start getting ready for next season. To stay sharp on his skills, Little Man invited his buddy Parks over for a game of football.
"Red 69... blue 32... down... set... hut...hut... HIKE!!!"

"OK Connor, you go deep"

"Or maybe not so deep, dude where'd you go?"

"TOUCHDOWN!!"

Then it was off to the car show for a chance to get up close and personal with some sweet new machines.

"Sweet... let's go cruisin for some chicas!"

"Oooooooohhh........shiny!"

"She will be mine... oh yes, she will be mine!"

As Super As It Gets

With a little one it's always fun to see them grow and develop and hit all their "firsts"- first words, first step, first time falling down the stairs, first taste of chocolate ice cream and so on. Well Sunday was another of those incredibly important milestones in Little Man's life. It was his very first SuperBowl. As his mom and dad, we were very impressed with all of his hard work and dedication he put into this memorable day. He truly wanted to make it a special day."Rootbeer.... check. Remote controls.... check. 2 footballs.... check. Snacks.... check and double check!"

Although, as the game progressed, Little Man started to wear down and show the toll it was taking on his body.

"Uuuuggghhhhhh... I shouldn't have eaten those last couple of meatballs!"

The onslaught of delicious meatballs, smokies, ribs and chili-cheese nacho dip created a few items of business to take care of at the other end of the spectrum, if you know what I mean.

"Oh man, I think I'm gonna need lots of this stuff!" "Hmmmm... I think this should about do it."
"Whew, I'm glad I got that out of my system. I feel so much better now."
