Suzanne and the Kids Make the Local News for Dance Competition Results

You probably remember recent posts from me about Suzanne and the kids with their Showstopper Dance Competitions. They recently competed in the regional competition in Phoenix, AZ and brought home a nice haul of trophies and awards. This week, the local paper ran a story about their activities in the competition. You can read the […]

Family Update 3/26/07

It sure has gotten busy around here lately. I sure wish I had some time to take a little bit of a vacation, but alas… Sean and Savannah are on spring break vacation this week. They don’t have any big plans except to have some friends over and go visit some friends. I am also […]

Spending Money Again

Yesterday was another expensive day. I recently received a bonus check for my efforts last year. We paid off some bills, pumped up the kids college funds and then decided to spend something on ourselves. Suzanne has been wanting an elliptical trainer of late and been doing a bunch of research. She says she wants […]

Ricky Bobby

Okay, that’s the main character’s name from Talladega Nights, a comedy about a Nascar driver. Wil Ferrell is the star. Based on the trailers, it did not look like a movie we would enjoy – not really our style of humor. Last night, the family got together to watch this movie. The family absolutely loved […]

Nice Arizona Weather

This is a great time of year here in Arizona. The weather is just fabulous. Last week and this week, the temperatures in Tucson have been in the mid-80’s. In Sonoita, that equates to about upper 70’s. It’s very nice and comfortable. I think the winter, what we get here in Arizona, is past. The […]

Vancouver Arrangements All Set for Alaskan Cruise

Well, last night we finally made an executive decision on the plane tickets to Vancouver. We ended up using frequent flier miles for 2 tickets and purchasing outright 2 tickets. We will have to go out of the way through Dallas to get there, but the total expense for the 4 of us to get […]

Alaskan Cruise Excursions

We have decided upon our excursions for our upcoming cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury – or at least most of them.  The cruise is an eight day round trip cruise from Vancouver, so a bit shorter than we normally do, but Alaska is an expensive cruise and we will be cruising with […]

Showstopper Photos Uploaded

As detailed in a post yesterday, I have uploaded the images provided by Mr Will to my site from our recent trip to Phoenix for the Showstopper Dance Competition. There is not nearly as many pictures as Suzanne led me to believe, but obviously, he was more interested in taking them of his family than […]

Family Update 3/2/07

Wow, been three days since my last post.  I have been really enjoying rediscovering America’s Army.  I havent been playing it too much until the last couple of days.  So, what’s going on… Since Suzanne forgot to take her camera to the Showstopper Dance Competition in Phoenix a couple of weekends ago, we dont have […]

Alaskan Cruise Airfare

Our cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury is approaching fast. The cruise is in mid June of this year. Unfortunately, we still don’t have our air arrangements for the cruise. The cruise is round trip out of Vancouver. Air travel these days is unpleasant at best. I remember the days when air travel […]
