Future Heisman Trophy Winner?

Is That Your Donkey? Why Yes, Yes it Is!

Rose loves to turn the camera on herself quite often. I delete most shots, but sometimes she comes up with some winners. Here's a nice shot she took a few weeks ago when I took the kids bowling. Hey lady, NICE ASS!

You Say It's Your Birthday....

Happy Birthday Andy! 44 years ago today, this guy came into the world... and the world has never been the same! Happy Birthday to my 'for better, for worse'.... I'm glad we are still we. I love you!

Chloe Got Mitzvah'd!

Our recent trip to Phoenix was for our good friend Chloe's Bat-Mitzvah. She was amazing during her ceremony, and we realize she is just an amazing young lady, period. It was a good weekend filled with friends, lots of swimming and celebrating, plus a trip to Rawhide, a wild west attraction where Joey proceeded to jam his head between prison bars and get stuck. Why is it that a head will easily fit through bars going one way but not the other? He was screaming so loud they heard him inside the arena across the way where a 'shoot-em-up' show was going on. We were informed of this after the fact. (Perhaps he was screaming even louder as I calmly yanked his head back out... I certainly wasn't going to be embarrassed by having someone come rescue him...) That's my boy!

Last Day of School

So very cliche, but hard to believe another year of school has absolutely flown by. A good year for all!
