Sean Still Cheering His Patriots To Hopefully A Perfect Season

Our son Sean is a HUGE New England Patriots football fan. Last August, Sean’s room got a complete makeover themed in Patriots stuff. It was out with the western theme and in with the Patriots. He’s got Patriots curtains, bedding, pennants and wall hangings. He’s even got a deluxe Tedi Bruschi #54 pennant and Bruschi […]

Christmas Menu

Time to disclose what the Klasens will be having to eat this Christmas holiday season. I have to admit, that I am not planning on spending as much time cooking over the next few days as I have in past seasons. We are all quite in the holiday spirit, but have decided to spend more […]

Thanksgiving Activities

Whew, its been a busy couple of weeks here at Mr Papa’s World. Sorry for the lack of recent posts, but luckily I have been able to get a few quick thoughts. If you hadn’t noticed, I post a my quick thoughts at the top of the light blue sidebar here at Mr Papa’s World. […]

Thanksgiving Visitors

It feels really odd for us to have Thanksgiving approaching and for us to not be prepping for a cruise. Over the last four Thanksgiving holidays, we have been on a cruise for three of them, including the last two. It has almost become a tradition for our family. Since we did an Alaska cruise […]

Off To See The Lions

Well, I went ahead and did it last night. I ordered tickets to the Detroit Lions against the Arizona Cardinals game this upcoming weekend. I got tickets for Sean and I to go to the game. He is really excited as it will be his first NFL football game. Being an avid Lions fan my […]

Detroit Lions Putting It All Together

I am feeling a bit giddy today. Thus far, this has been a tremendous season for the Detroit Lions. With yesterdays 44 – 7 blowout of the Denver Broncos, they improved their season mark to 6 – 2. One of the best things about their emergence this year is the complete surprise they have caught […]

Savannah’s Cheerleading Squad Takes 2nd

In a VERY long day, Savannah’s cheerleading squad earned a second place in the regional cheerleading competition. Her squad competed in the normal category. There was also an elite category where more stunts, tricks and stuff are done. Unfortunately, this whole event seemed extremely disorganized and haphazard. It was very frustrating for Sean and I […]

Cheerleading Competition Tomorrow

Sean’s football season is over. I missed the last game of the year being in Germany. They lost the game. Actually, somewhat late in the game and losing, the referees called the game because our kids were hitting the other kids too hard. Boy, I would have liked to see that and understand what the […]

A Step Backwards

Today was not a good day for Sean’s football team. They seem to seriously regress back to the old days and played terrible. Everyone on the team, including Sean, had a bad day. The final score of the game was 33 – 7. On defense, we couldn’t stop anything. If it wasn’t for a couple […]

Busy Days Ahead

Just when one seems to be relaxing into the lovely fall weather here in Arizona, bang, we go and get busy. Sean and Savannah have only two more weeks left in the regular season of football, but this occupies a significant portion of our Saturdays and three evenings a week for Suzanne and the kids. […]
