Happy Mother's Day

So I missed Mother's day on here so happy Mom's day to all the moms out there including my mom and grandma. Like my dad says, mother is only half a word. That is why grandpa isn't allowed with the kids alone.

This video has a few parts were I actually stop breathing and/or pee myself. Happy late Mom's day everyone.

Catching up vol 1

So this is old but not any less special. Ty lost his first tooth right before Ryan was born. His teacher actually ripped it out in class. Thanks Mrs Outlaw!!!
I don't know if it is the price of gas or the weakening of the dollar but he got a dollar for that tooth. Just to give some perspective, i had a crazy snaggletooth removed from the roof of mouth, no longer have feeling up there and got a dollar. Now that was '82 or '83 but come on!!!
We have been trying to figure out which one of his brothers Ryan looks like. Now these aren't the best pics but what do you guys think?? (Just so you know if you just think is the cutest thing you have ever seen then that means he looks like me.)


Here are just some odd's n end's photos:




Enjoy

I love Texas but...

First I want to say I love Austin and parts of the rest of Texas. I, probably like many of you, thought that Texas was all tumbleweeds and horseturds. But Austin is a beautiful town, kind of like Ann Arbor with better weather. I am sure my parents don't like it as much since our ever growing family is 1000 miles away but they, and the rest of you too, can come visit when they want.

Now I said that to say this, Texas in general thinks they are the only state left in the USA. They were their own country for awhile, and never let you forget it. I bring this up because I will and always will be a Michigan man. I will always follow my home teams, no matter how crappy that is to do, yeah I am looking at you Lions!!!!

I am sure most people know the Red wings (or as Ty calls them the Hot Wings) are about to win their 4th Stanley Cup in about 10 years. Seems like maybe a fan of their team, a former citizen of Hockeytown for Godsakes, might know a little about the game, right? Makes sense, right? Well, the Stars played the Wings in the last round and played well but ultimately lost 4-2. These hockey lifers down here were all over me about how great the Stars were before and during the series, not so much after. They told me stats and rules, and told me their opnions of their hockey dominance. If I remember they won one cup in 99 because Brett Hull cheated. When a guy with barely all his teeth tells you, "bet your scared yankee. the south is coming to take hockey too." I really think they think only people from dallas can play on that team. I am pretty sure that the whole team is "yankees". Madono is from Detroit.

Anyway, it is one of the only things that bugs me but it gets really annoying. Texas has to be the biggest and best at everything or everyones belt buckles will be confiscated. It's in the bylaws.

We are not gone

Sorry the blogging has been sparse. It is really hard to get into a groove since Ryan has been born. My day consists of getting up getting the Ty to school, getting myself to work, coming home, eating, putting the boys to bed and then trying to stay awake past 9pm. Needless to say, it doesn't happen much. But, we have had some great things happen recently so stayed tuned.

Here is something to hold you over. We got some binoculars at work and I gave them to the boys. Coop calls them his "nockers". Naturally we have him say it over and over cuz we is classy like that.



Check out my nockers!!!!


After Coop got the attention Ty had to be involved also. He gives his views on the world and the best way to hit his brother.






Also here is a picture of Ryan's best emotion - bored indifference
More to come soon
