So this weekend we (that is to say, I) started on our kids tree house. I ordered the lumber and it was delivered last Tuesday and we were all set to go. Then on Thursday while were out to dinner, my wife goes over how I’m building it again. Her thing was that she couldn’t [...]

Go Climb A Tree
You know, sometimes I forget some of the more awesome things about being a parent. A lot of times, parents get so bogged down with the meal preparation, clothes buying, teeth brushing, tucking in, story reading, bath time, dinner times, school time, that they forget one very important fact. Having kids is, without a doubt, [...]
Technically Family
You know, I always find it weird when a family member contacts me via MySpace, Facebook or Twitter asking to friend them. I mean, I seemed to be the technically inclined one in the family; messing with computers, taking apart toasters, etc., so its a surprise to see, say, my 10 year younger cousin on [...]
Weekend in hindsight
So this weekend it was fairly kickback, for the most part. Saturday was very good as there was an event that day. And since it was sunny we had an archery competition which, I’m stoked to say, I was victorious in. I had thought I lost so it was a pleasent surprise at court. I [...]
Washing The Cat
You know, I really don’t mind taking care of my responsibilities. Family stuff, take out the trash, do the dishes, polish the weapons, all that is fine. However there is one task that I really, really despise. Giving the cat a bath. For those of you without the scars from claws, this is not as [...]
Nike Youth Triathlon
Since my wife works at Nike (bonus) she gets access to all these really nifty things. Yes, she gets cool clothes and shoes and such, but mostly its the Nike events we like. And so it happens we have a very energetic 6 year old boy and Nike has a Youth Triathlon planned. Convienent timing [...]
Long Time, No Write
So its been like 6 weeks since I made an entry and I must say I am disappointed in myself. Partly because I cant seem to get a sec to jot something down, but mostly because twitter is so much easier and I can do it from anywhere. OK, technically, since I got my iPhone, [...]
Happy Birthday Katen!
Today is my little girls birthday. She is now officially 3 years old (versus the 3 to were were saying she was to get a cheaper rate at the day care). She certainly is taking a liking to girly things too. Everything is pink and Hello Kitty and I really am wondering if I will [...]
Kitten goodness
So after a few stressfull months of work, my wife thought it would be a neat idea to give me a present. And so it happened the other day that we were driving dow. To one of her friends house to pick up it present. She tried to keep me in suspense but I ended [...]
Too much of a good thing?
With work and family I find that my time of late has been rather limited. It was not so very long ago that I was trolling Craigs list looking for contract work to supplement my income. With my wife working back at Nike (and me going back to the at-home-dad role) I find that I [...]
