Tonight was another one of those “get stuff done nights”. Sarah had to take the kids to their Wednesday night church so I was home all night. I mowed the lawn again - it takes about 1 hour in total. Not bad. So here is my pet peeve rant of the night. How in the [...]
We had a “birthday party” out at Sarah’s parents house last night. It was for like 6-7 people! Now that is a birthday party. We celebrated all April birthdays at once. Grilled out some great food and had some nice dessert. The kids played outside most of the evening while we just chatted and watched [...]
So we got an update last night on baby #3. Sarah had a sonogram and things are looking great. Bryce is still a boy - so that’s a good thing He is like 4.5 pounds and “measuring” big. By the measurements the due date is June 10th. Our [...]
This week has been beautiful weather. We spent the entire evening on Tuesday outside. Kids shot some hoops and played on the slide, I pushed them on the swingset. Very pleasant night. I did my first mow at the new house. At my old house I had a riding mower that was a bit of [...]
I’ve been going into the Pekin Highschool open gyms lately and playing some basketball. My old highschool coach, Coach Mott, is the head coach there now. It’s been great to “help out” by playing with some of his kids. They only have a handful of highschoolers right now since everyone is in [...]

So our Cardinal all-inclusive trip was fun. My brothers, dad and I took off bright and early Sunday morning for STL. We got there just before the gates opened, picked up our tickets from will-call, and got right in. Rodney, Randy and I watched a little batting practice but due to nobody having any power [...]
Tomorrow, my dad, Rodney and Randy are all heading to St. Louis to watch the Cardinals pound on the Giants. We are taking advantage of an April special that gives us an “all-inclusive” ticket for just $65. Not too shabby considering they are normally over $100 per ticket.
So we are sitting in the Coca Cola [...]
I find it amazing how quickly young kids forget and forgive. When I get home from work each night, all my kids want to do is PLAY PLAY PLAY. I don’t blame them. They don’t see daddy at all, all day, now they are ready to have some fun. Well, the [...]
So as some of you know, I play in a fantasy sports league with 9 of my buddies. Most are friends from college mixed in with some family, etc… We have a unique setup where we all compete in Fantasy NBA, Fantasy MLB and Fantasy NFL every year. Then we have an “overall champion”. There [...]
