This post is going to make my blog look like a Mommy Blog, but that’s ok.
Amber and the kids decided to make a “Backyard Water Park” out of PVC pipe and sprinkler heads. D designed it, and Amber glued it up for them. Judging by the pics, I think they enjoyed [...]

These past few days have taught me a lot about smoke, smoke damage, and roast beef.
You see, someone in our house (her name starts with an ‘A’ and ends with ‘mber’) was trying out a recipe using roast beef.  It involved boiling the meat for about an hour, with a certain amount of water in [...]

Our 7 month basement remodel project is finally done.  I hated just about every minute of this project, but I love every minute I am in the basement now.  So I decided to post some pics, along with my comments.  Since I tell everyone the same thing when they see it, you can rest assured [...]

So I have been seeing a lot of misinformation about this topic, so I thought I would post my comments.  Beginning in February 2009, broadcasters will turn off their analog broadcast signal.   This will have some effects, but it won’t be too big of a deal.   Here is the run down of the misinformation [...]

About 6 months ago, Amber and I had a great idea for remodeling our basement. It was finished really poorly the first time, and it was a really uncomfortable room. The heating was inadequate, the carpet practically non-existent, the walls were made up of warped paneling, and the layout wasn’t all that useful. [...]

Cool house, huh?

Dylan wrote to Santa this year. Amber got him started, but he dictated the whole thing. Here it is:
Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. I have been very nice to Baby. Need stuff. Cars in a little box or a big box. Hey, and firetruck magnets. Plastic animals with a beach. I [...]

We sold the Pathfinder this week. It took a long time, but it happened. The exciting news is what I am buying.
I put money down on a CNG Honda Civic. Its a four-door, so that will be nice for getting the kids in and out. I will miss the space of [...]

The other day, the family was out shopping. The baby was asleep, I was grumpy, Dylan was bored, and Amber couldn’t find the right pair of shoes. Pretty much a normal weekend event.
Then Dylan yells out “I have to go POTTTTTYYYYYY!!!!”
Sometimes you don’t get much warning. We were near the Lowe’s I [...]

Amber turns 27 this year. She has been feeling old for some reason, so I thought I would make her feel better by pointing out all she has accomplished:
1. She has a great 4 year old boy that is smart, polite, and reasonable (as much as a 4 year old can be).
2. [...]
