Today the Seattle Seahawks are playing in the NFC wild card game. They have the worse record of any divison winner of all time. Every once in awhile we change our bartender skeletons outfit.

This is too cute not to share. Lily’s dad emailed me this list that Lily made for Santa while she was at his house.  I totally know what she is trying to say on every item… do you? I also decided to post this one. This is a note we found on Lily’s side of the [...]

Did you know that Lansing is the capital of Michigan? We spent day #2 in Lansing with my brother Alex and his family. First we headed to Kelli’s cousin Brian’s house for some tailgating. Me and JP went for a walk down by the river. Don’t you love the fall leaves! Then we headed to [...]

Today I was a pick up player for “Face Down Bats Up”. Before the game even began the other team forfeited because they didn’t have enough players. We played anyways and had a lot of fun. After the game a guy came over and asked if I would fill in for another team. I played [...]

We ended our season today with a bang. If you make it to week 7 that means you are in the playoffs. We were the #3 or #4 seed. What would be better than a bunch of Ninja Turdles in Ninja Turtle masks? Here is Jan and Levi. Jason and Jimmy. Lanae. Cathy. Mel & [...]

We decided it was the perfect afternoon to go bowling. I haven’t taken Lily bowling in a very very long time. Last time I took her she could barely even pick up the ball much less be able to throw it down the lane. This time was much better. First things first though we had [...]

We lost our softball game today. I totally warned JP in the last inning that I wanted him to get our group picture… he didn’t do it! It happens that some of his co-workers were playing kickball at the same location…. and they came over to chat after their game. He totally paid attention to them and [...]

Today me and Cathy went to Kennedy Sports Park to fill in for a softball team that was short a couple girls. These fields are nicer than the fields we play on on Tuesday. The biggest difference is the actual field itself. Both fields are red sand but over at the other field the ground is a lot softer and [...]

We had our 3rd game of the season today. We lost the game 8-14 but we still had a lot of fun. The league that we play on wrote about our game last week against Dixen Chicks.

After playing in two kickball games and a softball game last night I was tired. Like really tired. I am pretty sure I didn’t wake up at all until the alarm went off bright and early this morning. I was all rested up but I was not prepared for how I felt. Ouch.. my muscles [...]

Lily went to her second dance class today. This week I sat in one of the chairs that I assumed was mirrored on the other side. It was hard to get this picture. Then I figured out when Lily came and posed in the window that it is not mirrored on the other side.

Half-Nutz had a double header today. We won the first game 13-12 but the second game did not go as well. I am not sure what the score was on the second game but the umpire called it after the 5th inning because of the mercy rule so that means they had at least 10 [...]

Me and JP played our first game of Table Shuffleboard today.  I am not very good at losing and he killed me but I am totally willing to play him again. I thought that the stuff on the table was salt until I had JP taste it.  Has anyone ever played this before?

Today I played 2 softball games with a team named “I’d Hit It”. They had a girl player who couldn’t make it so I filled in for her. You might recognize three other people in the photo. Cathy is in there and so is Mario and Barbara from kickball. This picture was taken right before [...]

Here is the Furies softball team! The Furies was originally formed as a family softball team. Then a few non-family people joined, specifically me, Cathy and Rickey that I know about. Last night one of the teams we played was also a family team and it got me thinking. What if my family had a [...]

I played my first two games of softball today on a new team in a new league. The team name is “Furies”. When I first saw the shirts I asked them what a “fur-ee” was, ha ha.  They said there is a movie I need to watch that will explain it all. I can’t recall at [...]

I went for a run today and it reminded me that I never did a follow up to the running shoe posting. A bunch of you guys were right. I bought the pink Asics. But believe it or not I bought them for support and not for color or style!

I play softball on Tuesday nights. Besides the obvious reasons for liking it I thought of 4 more. #1 – Ponytail baby!!  Suddenly a bad hair day is over! #2 – You get a new t-shirt at the beginning of every season (so far it has always been a different color)! #3 – It is the [...]
