Today is our first day of our 9 day vaction. If it goes as planned we are starting in Detroit, MI and in 9 days we will end up flying out of Chicago, IL. Here we are waiting patiently to get off of the plane! After we got the rental car our first stop was [...]

Here is Lily and the neighborhood crew getting ready to hit the streets with one goal.. a full bag of candy! Isn’t she so cute? Lily and Cameron pounding the pavement. Trick or Treat I stayed home and passed out candy in our scary yard. Check out this vulture. Here is what our yard looks like. [...]

For a special Halloween dinner Lily aka: Dorothy, JP aka: Cowboy and Me aka: Robin, all dressed up and went to the Chart House restaurant at the top of the Tower of the Americas for dinner. Before you get on the elevator they take a picture of you in front of a green screen. We bought the picture and as [...]

Last time Adeline was over she told me she had never carved a pumpkin before. I told her that if she came over again before Halloween we could carve up some pumpkins. True to my promise that is exactly what we did before bed today. JP cut the tops off of the pumpkins to get [...]

We had our first game of the season as The Ninja Turdles today. We have an awesome line-up this season. All but one of us have played together in previous seasons. So much fun! Here is a picture of me on 3rd base after my first triple EVER! Can I get a WOOT WOOT! My [...]

This is our first weekend in we don’t know how long that we have no plans. Literally we have no where that we have to be, and no one that we have to hang out with. Lily is gone for the entire weekend and both softball and kickball were postponed until next weekend. It is no [...]

When I did the posting about our house the other day I forgot to talk about something really cool. If you go look back at the pictures you will notice that we have an upper deck. You can get to the upper deck from both outside and inside. It connects to a room upstairs that [...]

Today Amanda, Stephanie, JP & I all headed up to Austin to celebrate JP’s birthday. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel on 7th & Congress. The first thing we did after we checked in was have dinner at The Roaring Fork. Even the waiter knew it was JP’s birthday weekend because after dinner they brought him birthday dessert! No [...]

You can always tell that either Amanda or Stephanie are in town when we have to make a visit to one of these places. This time my lucky guest is Amanda. She was trying to cut an avacado when she accidently did this instead. Being a good sport I drove down to Walgreens and bought a bunch [...]

This is quite perfectly the best family picture that we have. Who would have know that when we get wet we have super powers? We get super powers. We can lift two times our weight. And something about JP makes us completely happy!!

Lily loves to draw. She has always loved to draw and in the last year or so she has learned that she likes to write as well. I can’t decide what I like better her drawings or her notes to me. Sometimes I wonder what she thinks about when I am not around. Today I [...]

13 days, 18 hours & 27 minutes from when I posted this Amanda will be landing in San Antonio. It is no secret that she is my bff. If I am doing my math right this will be her 6th time coming to see me since I moved to San Antonio. I met Amanda about 13 [...]

Today we went floating on the Comal River. After you first get on the river you float for awhile until you hit the first tube shoot. J9 and Lily Pad were both so nervous about the shoot. Hours… and I am not kidding hours after J9 went through the shoot I saw this picture. You can [...]

Last week we decided that we are going to try to visit a different town in Texas every Sunday for the entire summer. This weeks choice was Luckenbach, TX. I am sure that everyone has heard the song… ♪♫…let’s go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys…  ♪♫ Last year for his birthday [...]

I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks today and it got me thinking. Most of you are probably wondering what BofC is? A few of you already know but I am going to tell you again. When I first starting seeing JP he would send me a picture of his coffee cup every morning. Seem [...]

When I was growing up there was a swing kinda like this one on our front porch. Ask anyone who knew us back then and I guarantee they can tell you at least one memory about sitting out on the front porch at our home. In a little over a month I will have my [...]
