Mommy Deidra

Congrats to Mommy Deidra on her recent promotions. Deidra has been promoted from Appointment Coordinator to Floor Instructor. YEAH!!!

Now that she is making big bucks, I might consider quiting or maybe a PT job as a WalMart greeter.

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.

Experiencing the Scottish Tradition

This year we initiated two new members to the Scottish Festival.....Carter and Peyton. This tradition was started centuries ago by Grandmas Eva and Nancy.
We are waiting for the 2 boys to get some meat on their bones before we dress them up in their kilts. LOL!!!

Driven to Drinking

After an arguement over curfew, Jordan ran away. I found him siting under a tree with a bottle of Scottish brew. When I confronted him, he explained that he was just trying to relax and take the edge off. I hope this isn't a glimpse of future problems.

A Dangerous Rivalry

TALK ABOUT CRAZY!!!!

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Two Brazilian soccer fans accused of planning to throw a grenade at a bus full of rival supporters after a league game were arrested.
The two Palmeiras fans were stopped at a highway checkpoint Sunday night following the team's 3-1 loss to Cruzeiro in Sao Paulo, the federal highway police said.
The fans were carrying an American-made grenade and confessed they were going to throw it at the bus taking Cruzeiro fans to the team's hometown of Belo Horizonte, about 340 miles from Sao Paulo, police said.
The Palmeiras fans -- 22-year-old Jefferson Ferreira Lima and 26-year-old Jorge Luiz Sampaio Santos -- had been following the bus since it left Palmeiras' Palestra Italia stadium in Sao Paulo, police said.

Learning at a Young Age

With the help of Uncle Braden, Jordanhas learned how to mow the lawn. There is still room for approvement. I enjoy sitting in a lawn chair with a cold drink in my hand watching my trophy son learning the steps to becoming a true man. (Sigh)

Girl Problems

Jordan is learning early on that girls (woman) are difficult to understand.
I guess Jordan's Sweetheart is mad at him for missing a family barbq.
I heard the dog house is a comfy place.

Memorial Day Tribute

I came across this picture as I was going thru a photo album. With Memorial Day right around the corner I thought this would make a nice blog post.

Thanks Mom and Grammie Eva for sending Jordan and Carter.

***FYI, this picture was taken circa 2000. I wish I still looked this good***

Happy Birthday Cousin Dave!!!

Today is Uncle David's Birthday. He is 32.

Most of you don't know this....but a year after Jordan was born Our Favorite Soccer Star agreed to be Jordan's Godfather. This was a welcome relief to Me.

Jordan was really excited with Uncle Dave signed with the LA Galaxy. Now Jordan can spend summers in California.

Daily Reminders

I just love it how children make sure they let their parents are reminded how much they are love. Case in point......

After a long day of work and volunteering for RSL, I made it home. My cute, adorable, loving, precisous son wanted to play with my cell phone. He has done this on several occisions without any problems. This time it was different. For a brief second he was possed by the devil. He thought it would be funny to hide my phone and have me look for it.
So I agreed to play his little game. As I went looking for my phone, Jordan was nice enough to give me some helpful hints, I found my phone. Jordan thought it would be funny to put Daddy's phone on the spider trap. I nice rectangle paperboard with sticky gooo on it.
I wasn't sure if I was suppose to laugh and act surprised or beat his ass. As Jordan ran out of the room to tell Mommie what happened, I sat down and laughed.
