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 [...]

Happy Birthday to… everyone

knup 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.

First mow at the new house
April 24th, 2008 knup 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 [...]
Feeling old playing some hoops
April 23rd, 2008 knup 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 spring sports – [...]
Finally got an external harddrive
April 22nd, 2008 knup I’ve been wanting an external harddrive for a while now. It really bugs me when I need a picture or one of my videos on a different computer. I have to transfer the file or email it to myself. Sometimes I throw it on a flash drive. With an external harddrive I can keep all [...]
Cardinals get rocked, I get full!
April 21st, 2008 knup 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 [...]
Pumped for all-inclusive Cardinals trip
April 19th, 2008 knup 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 [...]
It is funny how quickly kids forgive
April 18th, 2008 knup 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 other day after work [...]
Domination in fantasy basketball

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 [...]
