(Not so) Big Bootie

While enjoying Beav's game, DJ was practicing his running skills in front of the grand stands. He needed a belt.

Does my face make me look fat?

While playing in the sandpile Mr. L was attacked (stung) by a wasp on his cheek. His face swelled up beautifully. The best part... he was the ring bearer for his aunts wedding the next day.

Dissapate the Energy

While helping coach Easter's football team I noticed his helmet looked like it was a little dated. The kid can hit and regularly lights up his teamates during practice. Pound for pound he is the hardest hitter on the team. (I'm a little biased) That said, I was interested in what kind of helmets the other normal football leagues were enjoying. I did a quick search and came upon this bad boy... The Bulwark. Looks like a normal helmet but the true innovation lies on top of that shell: a shock-absorbing layer of pre-molded foam. Looks cool. I'll tell Easter to save his pennies.

Letter to the Editor

Sent to the Salt Lake Trib

Recently the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that 12-foot-high crosses honoring fallen members of the Utah Highway Patrol effectively endorse Christianity and violate the separation of church and state by going beyond the “more humble spirit of small roadside crosses.” The court basically said these crosses sent an unconstitutional religious message to motorists on the state’s highways. What has this Nation been reduced to? Why don’t we just slap the wives and children of the fallen officer’s right in the face? It would hurt less. Has the Appeals Court forgotten what is printed on our Nations money? It states, “In God We Trust.” Does the Nations flag fly in its court? You know the one we require new citizens to pledge their allegiance to and say the, “One Nation under God” part. Or is that left out because it sends an unconstitutional religious message? I’d be interested to hear how the Appeals court justifies the existence of Arlington National Cemetery. Or maybe the word “cemetery” makes it alright to honor those who died for us. Whether the Appeals Court likes it or not these fallen officers were in the act of protecting people, regardless of their religious beliefs, when they were killed. The thought that the cross as the court states, “may lead the reasonable observer to fear that Christians are likely to receive preferential treatment from the UHP – both in their hiring practices and , more generally, in the treatment that people may expect to receive on Utah’s highways” is flat out absurd. It is well within the purview of the state of Utah to put a cross on the highway where a Christian officer fell. As it is proper to put a Star of David where a Jewish officer fell. Or a Crescent Moon where a Muslim officer fell AND to put up NOTHING where an Athiest officer fell. I’m proud to be an American but this sure does tarnish the shine. On behalf of this state, I want to say thanks to the Utah Highway Patrol for protecting me and my family while this nonsense takes place. God bless the fallen UHP officers and their families… yeah I said, “God.”

Anyone up for a Candwich?

How sad is this.... the basic staple of life has been reduced to a can. I mean it is bad enough that you can buy a jar of peanut butter and jelly IN THE SAME JAR. But now you can buy the sandwich IN A CAN. That just ruins it for me. Cans are meant for Diet Coke and Pringles.... NOT sandwiches. What is this world coming to? I'm convinced the second coming is just around the corner. I feel like its time to "open up a can" on this stupid idea.

Getting Old While Staying Young

The other night at 6:00am my youngest boy yelled out, "I need to go poo" from his crib/cage. I hopped out of bed and helped him get out of his crib/cage. (Yeah we have a net thingy that goes over his crib... thus the cage too) Best purchase of the year. Yet I degress... back to the poo.. While he was "taking the browns to the superbowl" I realized THIS IS IT! He has made the turn! We no longer need to buy diapers ever again. For 16 years straight we have bought diapers for our stinking little whippersnappers. 16 years!!!! We are free. Free at last. Free at last. That has to be $30 or $40 bucks a month in extra sweet mulla. (I have no idea)

I pondered as he pooped.

Then it hit me. In the same week my son DJ joined the tighty whitey crew, my oldest son Beav(I have 5 of them)joined the, "Can I borrow your keys and get some gas money" Crew. (there goes my $30 or $40 extra sweet mulla)

Can't help but feel a little older... I just wish I would grow up a little. Oh and that DJ would wipe before he slid off the toilet seat.

Dad to the Bone.

It is that time again !!!

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
