I’m thankful for (in no order):
my wife
my kids (and kid to come)
my family (parents, brothers, aunts, uncles, etc.)
God
my church
my friends
my health
the Internet. Blogging and [...]
This was last week but I forgot to touch on it. The Peoria Park District league that I played on is now over. Our team, the DHL team, won our division with only one loss. We played a team from another league and got beat the first game in the playoffs. They were just a [...]
Our community group had an outing planned for Saturday to go to the Apple Blossom Farm in Peoria. What is that you might say? It’s just a small little farm setting with a fun kids playground, monster truck rides, lots of apple food, hayrack rides, pumpkin picking, a corn maze and much more. [...]
Been a busy weekend so I’ll try to spend tonight catching everyone up on our weekend. On Friday Sarah and I went out with our church community group to Cheddar’s in Peoria. That place used to be our favorite place to eat back when we were dating. Funny, because we never go there now. I [...]
Cole Carley was born on September 5th, 2007 around 6:30 PM. We missed Justin at our fantasy draft but I guess he had a good excuse :) Everything is good with baby and mommy. Here are some pictures, congrats!
Saturday was an action packed day. We took off early in the morning to watch the Marigold Festival parade here in Pekin.

So I just got back from spending 5 full hours at Buffalo Wild Wings in East Peoria. We had our “FSDL” fantasy football draft from 6-9 and then hung out and watched a little baseball. I’m pretty pumped about my team this year which includes Reggie Bush, Addai, Larry Johnson and Steve Smith!!! [...]
