This past weekend, we finally got around to watching the Transformers movie. We have had it from Netflix for a while, but I kept putting off watching it as I was not very interested in the movie. I remember the transformers from my younger days and it was very hokey to say the least. So, […]

Savannah’s Birthday was this past Wednesday. Tomorrow, we will have a big Birthday bash for her. We usually have fairly big Birthday parties for each of the kids every other year. On the off years, we usually have a more reserved family party or go out for a nice dinner. This year, Savannah wanted a […]
American Idol

Oh boy, tonight the new seventh season of American Idol debuted – lucky me. Suzanne and Savannah are die hard fans of the show. Sean sometimes gets caught up in the show. Me, I don’t like it, but am constantly coerced to watch it. Usually, I flat out refuse and bury myself back in the […]

Sean had a fantastic time during his ski trip at Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley yesterday. Mt. Lemmon is in the Catalina Mountains above Tucson. One of his friends from school was going up there on Sunday to ski and asked if Sean wanted to go along. This was Sean’s second time skiing. So, he again […]

Today at the school Geography Bee, Sean took second place. It was a close battle all the way as Sean only missed one question. Unfortunately, the winner of the Bee didn’t miss a single question. The winner was an eight grader and Sean is a sixth grader, so he has a few more years to […]
Where’s Mr Papa Been?

Whew, its been six days since my last post. That’s quite a while for me. I guess going back to work on Monday after a month off wasn’t the best idea. Actually, maybe the long vacation wasn’t the best idea. Sometimes I wonder if its even worth taking vacations. The amount of work while you […]

Happy New Year to everyone! We rang in the New Year last night in our traditional fashion. Leading up to the momentous moment, we did family karaoke before settling in to watch Dick Clark ring in the new year. Or least the kids and I watched Dick Clark. Suzanne, as usual, fell asleep at 11:45 […]

Suzanne’s family is trying to plan a big family reunion for the summer of 2009. For years, her family has been renting beach front houses at Gulf Shores, Alabama through a local realty company. This company has been difficult to deal with and has very strict rules for when and how houses can be booked. […]
The Kids As Elves

You might remember my post about the our local community’s Christmas party. At that party, our kids were lucky enough to be Santa’s Helpers. The best part for them was riding in the fire truck. Anyways, I thought I would post a picture of them and the other kids dressed up as elves.
