Raiders open strong!

This year, the boys decided to try flag football once again, and Daddy got coerced into coaching once again. He's a sucker for those sweet boys! They won their first game (even though "we don't keep score") and are off to a good start. "Daddy's Defense" is coming together nicely!

GO RAIDERS!

Words on Retirement

One frequent topic of discussion around our house is "what I'm going to be when I grow up". It changes daily and I thought I had heard it all. From train conductors to cruiseline chefs and everything in between. This morning...

KEEGAN: When I grow up, I'm going to be "retired" so that I can play with Nana and Papa.

Wordless Wednesday: Pumpkin Patch

Wordless Wednesday: Go Raiders!

Elvis & Selena Gomez

I've been trying, without success, to teach Logan to take pride in the way he looks and dresses. This boy would be fine if he never saw a toothbrush, hairbrush, or mirror for the rest of his life. So this morning when he put on his barn coat, he resembled the late Elvis Presley with the collar extended and his dark locks sticking straight up in the air from "bed head".

ME: Son, take pride in your appearance and fix your collar and your hair -- you look like an Elvis impersonator. You can't go to school like that.
LOGAN: Who's Elvis?
ME: (!?!?!?!??!) Really? Oh, well he's a super famous musical legend.
LOGAN: (nods in understanding) Oh, yeah, I get it. Like Selena Gomez.
