Going wakeboarding

I am getting ready to go out on my Mom’s boat.  I am pumped because the last time I wakeboarded I jumped wake to wake.  This was the very last thing I did and then had to quit for the day.  So hopefully I can do it again.  Only problem is, it’s not on a wakeboarding boat, it is a bayliner. But it should help me get better at popping off the wake.

C-ya!

No he didn't!

Tim Stevens who is a pastor at Granger posted this blog the other day! Can’t wait until all of our kids are at school because I LOVE PIZZA!

Benefits of working late?

The reason I am working late:

My daughter had to get a shot today for Chicken Pox for school tomorrow and she wanted me to take her because last time I held her hand and she didn’t cry. I love being a Daddy! 🙂

Mini-Vacation Day 1 and 2

Well.  In case I got you curious.  We went to Wytheville, Va.  It’s only about an hour away from home.  The purpose of this trip was just to get away before summer ended and let the kids have fun at the pool at the hotel.

We came up yesterday.  It’s my family (wife & 3 kids), my Mom, Grandma, Uncle, and his two kids (Autumn & Eli).  Everyone came up early yesterday except my Uncle and I.  We came up after I got off work.  When I got here, we ate at the best Chinese place ever.  I say this because I have never eaten at PF Chang’s, so in my world, Peking is best!

Then we went swimming for a long time.  Mia made two friends (as usual) and Luke made two friends.  Luke’s friends were probably 12 yrs old each.  Luke is 3.

Then we came up to the room and played some wii until it was time for bed.  Still loving the wii!

This morning we woke up late (9-10).  Uncle, Mia, Autumn, Eli, and myself all went to Galewinds Amusement Park.  We played putt-putt golf, drove go-karts, and spent money in the arcade.

Then we ate at Troy’s Original Philly Cheesesteak.  I of course got a cheesesteak.  It was awesome! Highly recommended.  Everyone else got a pizza.

Eli and I played more wii while everyone else went swimming.  Now Tyra is asleep and the girls are gone shopping.  Thought I’d take the quite peaceful moments to blog.

I’ll post more tomorrow hopefully!  The plan is to go to some wildlife reservation and let the kids see all the animals.  Then we will come home!

Luke playing Wii for the first time

This was recorded with my treo 650 so excuse the poor quality! What did we do before we always had a camera and video camera with us to capture those special moments? Gotta love Technology!

Wii are family!

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”
