A Memory from Years Past ...

The other day I was talking with my only son, Aaron about our future vacation plans. He mentioned that he hasn't been to Disneyland since he was a little boy and that he can't really remember it. Well Aaron, I remember it well. It was a special day, and to me it seems like yesterday. I hope this brings back a little memory of a special day in our lives. We considered it a success, not just because we made it through the day without losing anyone, but because we took the time to have this picture taken. Jill and I were going through old boxes in the basement and were sorting through things we haven't seen for years when we came across this photo. I knew right away that it was meant to be found and shared with you today.

Today I want to tell each of my 6 children how very much I love them all. (Yes, you too Becky & Michele!, don't feel excluded just because you aren't in this picture. You were with us in spirit). I am very proud to be the father of such special children. - Dad

Addicted? How much do you text??

Addicted to Texting: Mental Illness?

A new medical study says, if you send too many text messages, it may be a sign of Mental Illness.

The study, printed in the American Journal of pyschiatry says an addiction to text messaging can be a new form of mental illness. The study points out four warning signs:


1. Feeling of withdrawal when you can't text
2. An increased need for a better phone
3. Need for more time to use it
4. Experiencing negative repercussions of their texting addition

What do you think? Is this bad etiquette? Texting during conversations with friends and family?
Ever find yourself, texting when you should be doing something else? Texting behind the wheel?

32 Wonderful Years!

Boondocks Fun Center

Jennifer invited us to go with her, Dallas and Olivia to her company party at Boondock Fun Center. There were a lot of free things for us to do. Here's Dallas racing this very little boy and he seems to be proud that he finally passed him and giving him a look like ha ha you don't have a chance kid. Jennifer's trying to get away from a girl in front of her and wouldn't get out of her way. It was made Jennifer very irritated. Don't anyone get in her path.
