I played in two games of softball today. I don’t have a picture of The Hurricanes but we won the game! The only picture I have from that game is this post game picture. Then it was turn for Not Them Again to play. Going into this game we were the #2 team in the [...]
Lily ended up spending the night at Cameron’s house last night. The came home around 9am and told me Cameron had gymnastics. Around 10am Cameron was back and they started playing again. I asked Cameron if she had a birthday present for her Mom today. I know it’s her birthday because we were invited to [...]
I played in two games of softball today. Both of my teams “Hurricanes” and “Not Them Again” won. The record for “Not Them Again” is now 4-1 and “Hurricanes” are 3-2. If you click HERE you can see the standings. Sadly this is the only picture I took at the field today. This sign makes [...]
In true Lily form she woke me up at 6:30am to tell me that she was hungry. The hotel restaurant doesn’t open until 7:00am so I told her we could go for a walk on the beach. It was super foggy when we woke up but to quote JP “Even the worst day at the [...]
Today after work we packed up the truck and headed to the beach. Door to door it is exactly 180 miles from our house to the Holiday Inn Sunspree which is located right on the Gulf of Mexico. For those of you that don’t know here is a little geography lesson. Point A is San Antonio [...]
I played in a couple softball games today but I totally slacked on the picture taking. Here are some the cupcakes that I brought to the game with me. Yes, they are from Target! Like I said I snapped less than 10 pictures today. Here is Jimmy at 3rd. Michael telling us how it should be. [...]
This morning when we woke up I promised Lily that when it stopped raining we could go down to the rodeo grounds and see the animals, eat the food, and ride the rides. It was already like 1pm and we were waiting for the rain to stop… but it was still coming down. So around [...]
Have you noticed sometimes when I post things there are words that appear to be bolded or in a different color? Have you had your mouse hover above them? If you have you will notice it usually says “click here” and if you do it will take you to another posting in my website that [...]
As usual first thing this morning Lily told me that she was hungry. I was not in the mood to make pancakes or waffles but I had to make her something. So I reach in the pantry and grab the oatmeal. I asked Lily if she liked oatmeal. I know for a fact that I [...]
I played in two softball games today. One with “Not Them Again” we won the game 16-3. I think its odd how dirty the camera lens is in this picture. Look at my hair! During the game I slid into 2nd and scraped by butt! Ouch! Then I played in another game immediately after that one [...]
Since Lily always goes back to her Dad on Saturday evenings we decided to do our Valentine gifts today. Here is our pile of loot. The gift bags are from JP and the yellow package came in the mail from JP’s parents. Lily got an awesome bracelet from JP’s parents and some jewelry from us. I think [...]
A few weeks ago we decided we wanted to do our Valentine’s Day dinner at home instead of in a restaurant. It was Lily’s idea to cook crab for this dinner. Dungeness Crab is native to the Pacific Northwest so naturally when I lived there I ate a lot of it. Eating it here in Texas [...]
So many parties, so little time. Me and JP talked a few times about what to do for the super bowl. When we woke up this morning we decided it was a stay in bed and watch tv all day kinda day. That is exactly what we did. Even Cheeky watched the game with us! GO [...]
Today I played in a softball tournament at Jefferson High School. Just yesterday we had a snow day and now today we are playing softball in 70º weather. Only in San Antonio! Here is our team The Charros. If you have ever watched East Bound & Down our team name will make you laugh! Here [...]
Today Lily had her two best friends Adeline and Cameron over for a Valentine Themed sleep-over. I pre-planned a few things to make sure they would have lots of fun. I told them they were all my Valentines. I have mentioned that I love Department 56 stuff. Remember my posting about the Snowbabies and about [...]
I played two games of softball today in 80º weather! I haven’t played since December 5th but it feels like a lot longer than that. This afternoon Mario sent me a text asking if I can fill in on his team and I was all over it. So first I played a game over at Victory Sports Park [...]
We had another beautiful day here in San Antonio today so JP and I headed outside to get some stuff done. For obvious reasons we haven’t paid any attention to the pool for the last few months and it needs a little bit of help. While JP tried to get the prime back in the pump and [...]
I haven’t played in a softball game since December 5th when I played two games with Face Down Bats Up. I am very excited to let you know that the San Antonio Sports and Social Club season starts next Sunday! I am on two different Sunday teams. Ill play with “Not Them Again” and “Hurricanes” it [...]
Today was a warm sunny day in San Antonio. JP, Lily and I spent some time outside taking down the Christmas lights and putting everything up in the storage area out in the garage. While we were out there a Schwans truck drove by. It turned down the street a block away. I had Lily [...]
Our friend Angela came over for dinner today and brought her dog Cheeky with her. While I was making dinner they made the cookies. Here is Lily trying to decide how to ice them. Here is the one that I decorated! Then we played a couple games of Pictureka. After that I went upstairs and grabed [...]
Me and JP headed down to Fatso’s Sports Garden to watch the Seattle Seahawks vrs Chicago Bears game today. Although its kinda far from our house we chose Fatso’s because that is where the passionate fans hang out. When we walked into the bar the entire bar… literally THE ENTIRE BAR started hooting and hollering [...]
We went to a football party at a friend of ours house. They said there would be lots of food so we decided to bring a desert. The Seahawks don’t actually play until tomorrow but its never to soon to celebrate. Seattle Seahawks Cake! What do you think? Erin says cheese! Sometimes I wonder why [...]
3 Tickets to Gulliver’s Travels: $35.00 Candy, Pop & Popcorn at the concession stand: $26.00 Seeing Lily excited to see this movie in 3D: Priceless! Oh and this one is for Erica! You totally missed out because I hung out with Justin Beiberhead after the movie!
I have told you before about Department 56. I love everything they make that has to do with Snowbabies! I also love a few other things they make. This morning when I was making breakfast I decided to use a Department 56 tray that we have. Isn’t it the cutest thing ever? Here is a closer look. [...]
As we all know the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a major upset and defeated last years Super Bowl Champs the New Orleans Saints! Our friend Jared in Michigan is a huge Saints fan and this is what he has to say about the game. The next game up was the Indianapolis Colts vrs New York [...]
Sometimes when I leave my home I am forced to go undercover. Those damn paparazzi are always following me around. Here I am in my best disguise. I am a sexy beast. Do I make you horny baby? Come back to my groovy pad and let’s shag. This is my scene and I am freakin out!
We had another beautiful day in San Antonio today. 75º and sunny. There is no better reason to bbq than that. Here is our ribeye and seasoning of choice. Lily is having a sleep over with her friend Cameron who we adore. Right before dinner was ready I decided to make them extra special Shirley Temple’s. [...]
I asked Lily to give me two words to describe Christmas Day and she said “awesome” and “wonderful”. She had no idea she was getting a laptop. Something that we learned from Lily is that if you don’t recognize the brand name you will have no idea what is inside the box. We love love love to get presents [...]
Today was quite possibly the perfect day! Perfect 75º weather and the perfect person to spend the afternoon outside with. We made a nest in the grass. And laid there soaking up the sun. I told JP that I felt like a lizard and that I was lovin it!
Once we got to West Yellowstone we rented snowmobiles from Back Country Snowmobile Adventures. The rental was not nearly as much as I thought it might be. We paid a little over $100 per snowmobile and we could use them for the entire day. The people were friendly and it didn’t take long until they [...]
I love looking out the window at Amanda’s house. If you look out either the front or the back you see the same thing… mountains! Here is the view from her kitchen window in the front of the house. Amanda asked me a couple weeks ago what I wanted to do when I was there. [...]
I woke up early this morning in the hotel and caught the shuttle bus back to the SLC airport. Before I knew it we were taking off and headed to Bozeman, MT. The flight was less than an hour so it went really quick. This is the view over Bozeman that I took from the [...]
Today was the last day of our vacation so we figured we better take full advantage of it. After we woke up we headed to breakfast at a place the lady inside the hotel recommended. When we stepped outside it was still cold! We walked a few blocks and found the place but it was [...]
We liked The Drake Hotel so much on Wednesday night that we stayed there again tonight. When we got to the hotel to check in the girl informed us that our room was not ready but offered to upgrade us to two king size bed rooms for the same price. The rooms have a door [...]
This morning we all met back up again at Richard’s house for breakfast. Here is Alex and I enjoying a mimosa. After breakfast some people headed home and others headed for The Field Museum in downtown Chicago. There is so much to see. We spent 4+ hours there and still didn’t have enough time to see everything. Here is [...]
Today was my nephew Cael’s baptism. A few times I asked people what the difference was between a baptism and a christening. Everyone seemed to have the same opinion and now after looking it up we learned that they were wrong. The baptism is the water part and the christening is the giving of the [...]
Today me and a few of my friends went out for drinks. Here is Saher, Me and Angela. I am not sure what is happening in this picture? Bottoms up! Judy and Joey showin some love!
We didn’t realize that today was when daylight savings time went back to standard time until JP’s mom Marlene reminded us midway through the day. After a day of shopping, JP and I went to to the San Antonio Yacht Club for food and drinks. Does the name of this place make anyone else think twice? Hint: San Antonio is [...]
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 [...]
Today we had breakfast for dinner. It all started when Lily and I were on our way to the grocery and I asked her what she wanted for dinner. She decided on breakfast. Sounds good! I started planning my shopping list in my head and out of my mouth came “Lets get some orange juice [...]
For the first time in either of our lives me and JP got a suntan in our own backyard on Halloween Day! The water is too cold to swim in but that didn’t stop Lily from floating around. The kids love skimming the pool for leaves!
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 [...]
Today Lily, Adeline and I went to a Halloween festival. I decided a couple days ago that we should wear costumes. Here are my batgirls right after I got them ready! Criminals of the world BEWARE! Not two but three crime fighters. Ta-Da! No more time for pictures… must go fight crime!
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 [...]
Have you ever had Puppy Chow? Not the stuff you feed your dog, the stuff that is peanut butter, chocolate, and crispy deliciousness! Lily, Adeline and I made some today. The fist step is to measure the amount of Crispix you are going to use. Then in a pan melt the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla. [...]
Check out what I found when I opened this Halloween box. I actually stopped everything I was doing and sat down to dress each McNugget in the costumes I thought they belonged in. Sometimes feeling like a kid again is such a good feeling. I was thinking I did pretty good until I had left over [...]
We spent the day getting our yard ready for Halloween. We have a scary grave yard crime sceen. Here is Lily trying to figure out what the police tape is used for. Cathy and Lily say cheese! Did someone say haunted house? This is the view of our front yard from the street. Check out [...]
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 [...]
Today we were up earlier than usual because I had a 10:00am kickball game. We lost the first game 3-5 but we won the second game 9-0 due to a forefit. Here are the Ball Kickers. JP is the biggest sports fan I have ever had. He goes to almost all of my kickball, softball & volleyball games. I [...]
