Lisa & Bob; T Minus 3 Days and Counting

Saturday around lunch time we expect the arrival of Lisa and Bob which should include my sweet ass birthday present. We have some work to do to get the house ready but we are pretty excited for the annual summer foray to our abode. I am sure some Wii will be had by all.

Now that much of the family has Mario Kart we look forward to some friendly competition. So in other words, I am calling everyone out as a challenge that the Cincinnati based racing team rules!

Garlic Permeates

Last night Wendy and I decided we wanted to make Dinosaur's Motha Sauce. It's awesome once made but it requires a ridiculous amount of garlic. I think I used 5 or 6 cloves for the required amount. Anyway, I have washed my hands to the bone practically because all I can smell is garlic! However this does not seem to have worked because I think the garlic entered into my soul and is now coming out of every pore in my body. It's a good thing I am married because I would not be getting any dates. Wendy says "At least you are safe from vampires." I guess I have that going for me at least!

Packer out at CBS, to end Final Four run after 34 years

Could there be any sweeter words in college basketball? I don't think so.

Milwaukee; Lisa and Bob Next

Milwaukee was fun as usual, seeing Wendy's parents is always enjoyable. We were also able to see some friends while we were home too. We had to go to a baby shower for one of Wendy's high school friends and that was a good time.

July 4th was the same ol' with family from Chicago coming up for lunch. We sat around and talked and ate like crazy. We were so stuffed we barely had anything for dinner.

Next up is Lisa and Bob at the beginning of August. I can't wait to get my hands on the Cuzco jersey, it looks so sweet. Lisa has also been telling us of their golfing escapades so I might have to take L&B to the driving range whilst they are here.

Owen and the Wii

Houston, we have a problem...

This past weekend we had some crazy Wii action going on. On Friday Amy and Rich came over, after dinner at Bravos, to play some Wii. Owen was very happy about this and watched very contently. Saturday we had invited some friends over for dinner and afterwards we played some Wii. Again, Owen sat very contently even though there was mass chaos going on around him.

Then we come to Sunday night. We have had our bath, eaten our fruit and Owen is pretty much ready for bed at this point... Or so we thought. He proceeds to the TV stand, where we keep all things Wii including controllers, opens the drawer and pulls out both controllers and hands them to Wendy and me. He also then grabs a TV remote because in order to play the Wii he knows we have to push a button. He is pointing at the controllers and then pointing at the TV like he is Caesar who is saying "Let the entertainment commence!"

Needless to say we have hidden said controllers in a place that shall remain unnamed. I don't want a Nana, Papa, Uncle or Aunt making our lives more difficult. Sorry, I love all of you but I trust you when it comes to my son about as far as I can throw you. :)
