Wii are family!

July 11, 2007 — Leave a comment

Ok… I have to confess something.  When the wii first came out, i thought it was a stupid idea.  I WAS WRONG!  My grandmother bought my uncle a wii for his birthday last week.  I went over to visit not knowing this and imagine my surprise to see my grandmother playing a contemporary gaming console!  There she was in her pajamas standing in front of the TV, wii remote in hand, swinging her arms and bending down to bowl.  :)

That was awesome to see!  But then on top of that to see my daughter Mia (6 yrs old) playing and having the time of her life, that was priceless.  Finally a gaming system for the whole family!  So my grandmother and mom went in together and got me one for my birthday and gave it to me early.  So I brought it home for the true test!  My Wife, who has always made fun of me and given me a hard time about my passion for games!   She played a little bit last night with me with not much to say.  But today on iChat she messages me and says I just threw a pitch 98 mph.  Also I bowled a 156, which beat my score I did this morning before leaving for work.  She was excited!

I love Wii!

We are now a “Wii Family”

Ok before people start freaking out, NO! Alisha is not pregnant.  No! We are not having a boy. We just found out Andrew (Alisha’s brother) and Meghan (Andrew’s wife) are going to have a boy!  I’m gonna have a nephew!When I was little I was wanted to be an uncle.  Since I was an only child, I was told that would probably never happen. Once I got married I realized that that could become a reality.  They already have a girl.  So now I will have a nephew and niece!God keeps blessing us and those we love!  He’s good like that! ;)

Father’s Day Gift

June 20, 2007 — Leave a comment

Tonight Alisha and Mia went out to get their haircuts and when they came back Mia knocked on the door. I went to the door and she was standing there holding a tall Dulce de Leche from Starbucks that she bought with her own allowance for me! On top of that it was the best one I had ever had! It was pretty sweet.

Starbuck Fiend?She also decided on her own that she wanted to have father/daughter sundays again. This is something I created when she was like 3 months old so that I could watch football games and Alisha would let me because I was “bonding” with my daughter. :) Since then I have tried to get her to like football but it has failed. So I was very happy to have her come home and tell me that when football season starts she wants to do that with me again! :) YEAH!

One Qweet(not a typo) Vacation (Part 1)

June 17, 2007 — Leave a comment

I just got back from vacation  at Myrtle Beach tonight.  I went with my wife (Alisha), kids (Mia, Luke, Tyra), mom (Pam Davison), grandparents (Dorothy and Fred Porter), Uncle (Mike Porter) and his two kids (Autumn and Eli Porter).  All together there were 11 of us.  Pretty crazy times!  I will definitely post more about this week.  Right now I am tired and want to go to bed.

The one qweet vacation was on purpose and not a typo.  The reason is when all of us get together we apparently lose brain cells.  Alisha said qweet instead of sweet on the vacation.  One of her many bloopers.  More to come…

Watch me Daddy!

June 4, 2007 — Leave a comment

So my grandparents bought me – i mean, my kids – a trampoline! I’m so excited. We have jumped on it for at least an hour almost everyday and thats just when I’m home. Not only is it great exercise (which I need, just got done reading Perry’s Blog about this) but man I am having fun spending time with the kids and watching their excitement!

The new phrase I hear in my sleep is, “Watch me Daddy!” Mia and Luke take turns saying this over and over again while performing the same “exciting” move over and over… and over… and over! You know the move where you jump up and land on your butt and land back on your feet. It’s amazing to see their excitement. I’m again reminded of God being our Father and why we don’t run around saying, “Watch me Daddy!” Instead we say don’t watch this or stay home while I do this or that.

I have new nicknames for my kids. Mia is Hello Kitty because when I bounce her in the air she looks like a cat freaking out when you toss them in the air. Luke is called crazy ninja because first off he is a flat out wild man on that thing. He throws himself around on there with total disregard for his body. Secondly, because he does this hilarious thing with his mouth wide open and without making a sound moves his hands like a karate expert and then dives onto the trampoline.

Well Alisha just got back after being gone for the weekend so that is it for tonight. I hope to get a video of us on the trampoline up here soon. Check back soon
