My Dear Sweet Boys

As Christmas is approaching, we got dragged out for our yearly picture taking trip.
We managed to get a few good poses from the boys. We are selling prints, all funds will go towards their trust funds.....kidding.

Gone Fishing!!!

There comes a time in every child’s life where they need to have the chance to go fishing. In our family, Paddy is the Master Fisherman. So when Jordan came to me and wanted me to teach him to fish, I turned to Paddy to advise me. A nice trip to the sporting goods store and we were set. Jordan made it clear to Paddy that he wanted only the best, too bad Nike doesn’t make fishing gear.

So one Saturday morning I took Jordan to the local fishing hole for a test run. It didn’t go as well as planned. There were minnows and gold fish swimming by the banks of the pond. Jordan was more interested in tossing pieces of Power Bait at the fish than casting his line into the pond. After about 15 mins of watching Jordan try to catch the fish with Power Bait and his bare hands, I decided to put an end to the game. All in All, the 2 hrs we spent at the pond were fun and enjoyable. Now I just need to find a FISHING FOR DUMMIES book with pictures. Then maybe Jordan will understand that a fishing pole with bait works better than his bare hands.

The Summer of Fun

I dont know what it is with the summer season, but it seems that its a good time of the year for children to grow and change.

Jordan is the BIG MAN on campus as he started pre-school last month. He has already manage to make some friends and form his own Rat Pack. Lucky for us, he has behaved and managed to stay out of trouble. I guess he is waiting to save the best for when he is in Elementry.

Carter "C Note", has manage to create a name for himself. Borrowing from Patrick vs Braden battle when the much smaller Braden showed Patrick who owned the Mini basketball court. For those that are not familar with this epic battle (I will spare you the details), Braden sent Patrick to the ER with a cracked skull due to a golf club (3 Wood) to the cabasa. One night after Carter had enough of Jordan's harrassment, he waited patiently until Jordan was close by and BAM!!! a smack on the head with a hammer. No ER visit this time since it was just a plastic play hammer, put Jordan thinks twice before he messes will the Lil One.

Below of current pictures of the boys....Enjoy

A Proud Moment for a Father

My boys know how to keep me happy. At a recent session of Jordan's Soccer School the parents were invited to come join the kids on the field. Deidra was manning the camera so took the field. I was shocked to see the lil one following me out. To have both of my boys interested in soccer and becoming professional soccer players was more than I could handle. My boys want to be able to provide the best for me in my Golden Years. Watch out Brooklyn and Cruz....Jordan and Carter are ready to take the pitch with you.

Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas!!!

This was quite the evenful Christmas. Trying to manage 2 boys ripping open their Christmas gifts. You would think that they were looking for gold. Regardless of the 30 min chaotic event, it was nice to see the boys excited and happy with what Jolly Ol Saint Nick left them.

Daddy's Day

I took a second out of my busy day to pose with my boys. I learned that Jordan can not keep secrets. He was nice enough to tell me what I was getting, but I managed to act surprised.
