Maybe time for a change...?

I've always wanted to be a photographer or camerman, oops! cameraperson. Ever since I was a lil kid thumbing my way through National Geographic or Sports Illustrated magazines I thought it would be cool capture moments on film. Maybe its time to take a photo class. Who knows. Here's just a lil sample from our backyard. Isn't it pretty! Magazine worthy? or postcard cheesy? You decide.

Abby turns 8!

I can't believe my little girl is 8 and going into 2nd grade. The time does go by fast. Katie and I are so blessed. Abby is an amazing kid!

Katie gets the bad news - 4 more weeks in her cast!

Greetings from beautiful P. Springs!

Yes! Palm Springs is a tad warm this time of year, but very affordable. Waking up late, lounging in the pool, taking naps, etc. Bascially doing nothing. Awesome!

You know you're getting old when...(Part 2)

...you crap your pants like a lil baby. So, the other day, I'm not feeling so good in the morning after I drop Katie off at work. Serious rumble! Nasty diarrhea! You name it! Later that afternoon I'm feeling much better and I think the pain and torture are all over. So, Abby wants to go swimming in the pool in our complex and I say, "Sure I'm feeling better, should be pretty safe". We get to the pool and first thing I do is make sure the doors to the restrooms are unlocked - they are! Yes! They're other families there enjoying the facilities and its a beautiful day and everything is hunky-dory. I'm in the clear...I think. Well a lil bit later we're almost ready to get out and go home when I feel some serious aftershocks, rumble, rumble! At this point I'm thinking, "OK, it feels like just a fart, but I had a tough morning so we could have a lil some-some make an escape from you know where. I tell Abby I'm headed for the bathroom and as I wade towards the steps to exit, the rumble gets worse, and those terrible ass-cramps start. And I'm like, "Uh-oh, I'm in trouble!" I get out of the pool OK, and make the bee-line for the restroom squeezing my cheeks like there IS NO TOMORROW! Now, I'm wearing slightly out of fashion Walmart swim trunks that have served me well for about 3-4 summers and they're a lil tight (I've gained 1 or 2 lbs. since I bought them) and soaking wet. So, to get these puppies off with any speed is basically not an easy task. I get the bathroom door with tears coming out of my ducts and get inside and slam the door. (The family sitting next to the bathrooms thought I was mad for some reason). I slip n' slide as fast as I can towards the toilet and turn around and start tugging on those stupid trunks with all my might and get them to about half way down my thighs when Mt. St. Helens erupts with all her fury. And as most of you know, when it starts, theres nothing you can do to stop it but try somehow to get out of the way. When it was all said and done it looked as if a chocolate bomb had went off in the restroom. (Actually, this is super embarrassing retelling this story). Well, after I clean up as much as I can (It was really gross and I felt bad for the next guy!) and soak my trunks in hot water from the sink for about 15 minutes, I put back on my semi-poopy swim trunks, and walked out of that restroom and looked straight at Abby in the pool and said, "Kid, we're outta here!"

Home selling blues!

Selling a home right now sucks! I hate cleaning it up every morning and no one comes over to not buy it. Boo-hoo.

Ron's Xbox 360 funeral on Saturday, August 18, 10:00am.

Yes. It has happened to me. That pretty little ring of plastic that signifies joy and happiness has come to a terrible end. It should have stayed green for a few more years. But, no, it chose to turn red and flashing today, Tuesday, August 14th, 2007. Yes. You guessed it. My Xbox 360 has died. And with Halo 3 coming out in about a month...perfect timing!

Can't wait til Katie gets this cast off!

Katie got her hard cast put on her broken leg on Tuesday this week. Its twice as heavy as the first cast, so it hurts her to move around. I know what you're thinking...boo hoo

Milk does a body good!

Our family drinks so much milk! Its like we are addicted to milk! Holy Cow! We had no milk for two weeks on our Philippines Trip earlier this summer and we did OK, but now we're back on schedule. Man!

Angels take two in a row from Red Sox!

Let's Go Red Sox! Thats the chant we heard from Boston fans on Monday and Tuesday nights. But, they weren't cheering on their team. They really meant, "...let's go back home Red Sox before the Angels totally destroy us". This is the Angels' year. I can feel it! The Angels have one more tomorrow night against Boston at home, then three more games at Boston next week.

Let's Go Angels!

Barry Breaks Record! Wow!

Reporter: Hey Barry! Good job! How much do you care about breaking the all-time homerun record?

Barry Bonds: I don't.

Rhain Davis The Soccer Whiz Kid

This is amazing!

Skateboarding is fun!

For those of you who may or may not have heard the news, but my beautiful, smart, fun wife broke her ankle at jr. high summer camp on tuesday, july 31st. Oh yeah! She broke her ankle. It wasn't tripping on some stairs or a rock on a lil hiking trip, no, it was skateboarding at the awesome Thousand Pines Skate Park! And here we were planning to leave that night after dinner and she breaks her ankle at around 4:30 PM. So, we quickly pack up our stuff and drive down the mountain and get to the hospital at 5:30 PM. 4 1/2 hours later in the scary san berdo emergency room we are finally done and we were on our way home at 10:00 PM. Yea Camp! I love camp!

You know you're getting old when...(Part 1)

...you fall asleep at the movies.


1. Today I couldn't watch a movie in the middle of the day after I ate lunch = fell asleep.

2. I can't go to the movies at 10 o'clock at night = fall asleep.

It sucks to be old.

The Tao of Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood is pure Genius! Carrie Underwood figured it out! She figured out the main difference between men and women! The other day as I drove to Walmart in my Ford F250 truck I carefully listened to her hit song "Before He Cheats". The words "That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,carved my name into his leather seats...I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,slashed a hole in all 4 tires...Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats", sent shivers up my spine! Those haunting lyrics scared me...that would be horrifying if my truck was abused like that! It stayed with me the rest of the day. That night I think I even had a nightmare about my truck being scratched. Here it is: Women care most about being lied to and cheated on; Men care most about their transportation.
