The Beast

After four years of undergrad school and 3+ years of Chiropractic school, I think my brain has finally had enough. So I decided to treat myself to a graduation present after all these years of (semi) hard work. My goal was to find something that would give my mind a break. So I went into a local powersports dealer and asked to see the biggest and burliest bike they had in stock. I told them that money was no object and I wanted to see the baddest thing to ever roll across this planet on two wheels. Over what seemed like hours we looked at bike after bike until we finally found the perfect one. When I first laid eyes on it, I knew in an instant that this was my bike, my Eleanor.
Say hello to 49 cubic centimeters of pure unadulterated fun. And after 172 monthly payments she's all mine!!

Even Jacque decided to get into the action in the hopes of inducing labor.

No such luck just yet, but it's sure to happen soon.

Connor on the other hand isn't too sure what to think about Dada's new aquisition.

*%#!! Lousy Chargers

What a rotten day, Little Man was so upset by the San Diego Chargers loss to the Jets that he had to find a way to vent all his anger and frustration... unfortunately his nose wasn't up to the task. "Stupid Chargers, how could you lose on your home field after winning 11 games in a row... to a rookie quarterback- no less!!"
The scene of the crime- notice the lone blood spot on the carpet. It is akin to how the Chargers should feel for crushing the spirit of an almost 2 year old boy... alone and ashamed.

Fortunately momma has a remedy for everything, including bloody noses and bruised egos. A little chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips goes a long way for mending a broken heart. Sorry Chargers, you don't get any!!

Gettin Jiggy Wit' It

They say the measure of a man is how he spends his time when he is all by himself and no one is looking. We decided to test this theory out to see what we can learn about Little Man. Here is what we noticed. When mom is around...


When mom is not around...

Respect The Belly

Alarmingly, there appears to be a number of persons with big belly fetishes who have demanded up to date photos of Jacque. While I neither support or affiliate with groups of this nature- you have gotten your wish.

You will also notice that Little Man, who is fearful of losing his numero uno status, seized the opportunity to make his presence known. He is not going to lose any of his turf without a fight!

Choo Choo Rules

Law enforcement is no simple task, that's for sure. But it's a necessary part of society, so somebody has got to do it. Inevitably, some people are just bad apples and the best you can hope is to have the long arm of the law constantly looking over the bad guy's shoulder to keep him in line. It's the sad truth about people, some of them just don't pay any respect to the rules. And when the bad guys get caught doing bad guy stuff you've got to make an example out of them to keep the streets safe for everyone else. "Excuse me sir... do you have a permit for that? If you can't prove you have an official Choo-Choo license I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take you down to the station for a little questioning."

Great idea, can I drive with my eyes closed?!

But then again, it's no fun being squeaky clean either!

End of the Year Awards

Well, it's official the 2009 year has ended and 2010 is upon us already. Ought nine was a good year for our family as a lot of changes took place, and Ten looks like it's ready to bring more. As is tradition, we took a look back at the previous year to recall some of the challenges faced, obstacles overcome and fond memories created. While doing so it only seemed appropriate to hand out some end of the year awards where they are much deserved.

For the second time in three years Jacque took home the Big Belly Award. For most of the year it was a close call, but in the end she really left the competition in the dust. I did my best to try and keep up- but my best efforts came up short. I can only hope for next year...

Connor took home his first Little Man of the Year (this being the first time he was eligible for the entire year). The picture above was taken at a United Nations meeting in Norway where he gave a lecture on the declining status of the Apple Fritter in North America. It was a real tear jerker and by the end even the Russians were a little choked up. After his speech, he was asked by reporters if he had any plans to run for office in the near future which he neither confirmed nor denied.

It appears the real answer is the affirmative as he has already begun practicing on his "Million Dollar Smile".

Overall, The Nine was such a good year for the Young family we have decided to expand our borders and take on one more in The Ten. No officially date has been released for this new addition but we promise to keep everyone in the loop as the time arrives.

GO TEN!!!!
