Zack's new EYES!!

Zack got new glasses this week. He has a lazy eye and the glasses are suppose to help it. We are hoping that it helps enough where we won't need any surgeries. Not liking that!!

Started school a week ago. It has been fun getting back it to it, just hoping that my team (the other couple people that will do group assignments with) is as excited as I am. More to come!

Brenden - Essay Winner

What a crazy Friday! A friend was getting married at 1pm and Brenden was reading his award-winning essay at the DARE graduation at 2pm. I had the motor running outside, so as soon as Jen got out we could make it to the graduation.

He was selected out of his fifth grade class as the Essay Winner by the officer responsible for the DARE program. It was all about how drugs and alcohol and smoking is bad for you in more ways then one. He promised that he would never touch any of the stuff.

It was pretty impressive. Writing is not his strongest subject, and for him to win this honor what fantastic. We are really proud of our drug-free, essay writing Brenden.

Potty Training Blues :(

Zackary is as cute as can be. He is my favorite 3-year old son for sure. He has learned how to use the potty in record time and is awesome, hardly having any accidents. He even sleeps in his underwear and has only wet the bed a handful of times. And so the reason of the blog:

He has decided somehow that the toilet is not always necessary when going potty. I was on the phone one evening and we were watching TV. As I watch, he pulls down his pants and I assumed that he wanted to check everything out, in the normal little boy fashion. Instead, he just started peeing right there and then. I give him a glare (I was on the phone, remember) and he was like, what's up!??

I finished my conversation and got into father mode. He was totally unaware that he had done anything wrong and was broken hearted that this would make him go to his room. He came back out in less than 30 seconds saying "sorry", but he was unable to return for a minute while I composed myself.

Talking with sexy mama later, oh, I mean Jen, she said that she had found wet spots here and there, but guessed Zack had accidents. She didn't know that it was just Zack's new potty spot around the house. I have to say that at least he did pull down his 'undies' and not wet his clothes:).

Anyway, that is the post for this week. Zack has been amazing at potty training (probably because he had to start school before Christmas) and so we must have some bumps in the road, right??!

First Blog

Thought I should start blogging...everyone is doing it. Not really a new year's resolution, but a way to document my happenings within the year. As I was reading the Christmas cards of family and friends, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same, but how do you remember all that stuff...thus the blog...

The goal is to enter some text and a picture weekly...so this will be proof on how I do with my goals. It should be a busy year, so we shall see if I can keep up.

First picture is of my current vehicle. The 87 BMW 528e. My brother, Tom, is kind enough to help me obtain transportation. So I had this laying around and it needed a new trany, thus the need for Tom. I think I shall start calling him St. Tom, because he is sent from heaven.
