Big Kid Pool
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Today, I can proudly say that Skyler has
graduated from the little kids pool with mommy
and daddy. He tried the regular pool and joined
another kid and two instructors in their lane.
Skyler cried for a few minutes, but he got over
it and ended up having a great time.
He also received his very first swim ribbon.

Indiana Jones, Expelled, and a Major Announcement
Friday, May 30, 2008
Last night my brother came over and we watched
some YouTube videos and then went
to see the documentary Expelled. It was very
thought-provoking and re-affirmed my faith
in God and Intelligent Design. I really
enjoyed it.
Today, Renea and I dropped off Skyler at his daycare and had the van and car washed and then the van detailed. While waiting for the detail, Renea and I saw the new Indiana Jones movie. It was a fun movie. When I’m that old, I plan on using special effects to make me appear invincible, just like Indy.
Major Announcement: Skyler recently has started using the toilet (with the help of not wearing diapers) and today did both restroom options (no, not the dryer/towel)!

Numb Mouths
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Josh had all four wisdom teeth removed
yesterday. Renea had a filling and a temporary crown put in this
morning and then this afternoon I had a
filling replaced. So, there
have been some funny sounds coming from our
mouths lately. We need to find a pediatrics
dentist for Skyler this summer.
I do, however, really like our new dentist’s office. It’s very modern and the staff is very friendly.

Watch Out Recycle Bins!
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Ashley and Patrick drove back to California today
to see his mother. They had rented some sort of
luxury car (like for old farts). I guess
it’s very difficult to manuever.
We Saw Jesus!
Sunday, May 25, 2008
Actually, we saw the actor who played Jesus in
The Passion of the Christ.
Renea and I took Skyler to my parents' church today, but
dropped him off at the child center. It was
packed - we sat in the back corner. Jim Caviezel was interviewed
by senior paster, Terry Crist. It was a very
inspiring moment and Jim's main message was
that we need to be "courageous Christians".
Ashley and Patrick Arrive
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Last night we celebrated Josh and his cousin,
Kaleigh's graduation at Renea's mom's house.
Ashley and her boyfriend, Patrick, arrived later
in the evening from Monterrey, California. They
are staying with us for a few days. There
were a lot of people and good food. I spent
a lot of time outside, playing with Skyler.
Graduation Day
Friday, May 23, 2008
Tonight was Josh's
high school graduation at the
Maricopa County Events Center. It
took us a lot longer to get there than the
duration of the ceremony. Josh was the last
student to check in, so he was the last to walk
across the stage and get his diploma. The camera
captured his smile and panned to follow him all
the way back to his seat. I ordered the DVD of
the ceremony because my camera lost power at
that moment.
However, I did take some nice shots earlier in the afternoon.

Last Day of School
Thursday, May 22, 2008
Today was the last day of the 2007-2008 school
year and Renea and I had a half day with
students, then the rest of the afternoon without.
The year seemed to go by so fast and now it's
summertime! I have two graduate classes in June
and then both Renea and I are working summer
school in July. I have some website and video
projects to work on this summer and I hope to
take Renea to some movies and use our restaurant
gift cards that we've accumulated in the last few
months.
Bro's Birthday
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Last night we went to
my parents' house and celebrated my brother's
birthday, along with watching the last performance
of American Idol. Wikiki Meatballs
and Pineapple Cake were on the menu. Yummy!
Skyler's 3rd Birthday Party
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Today is Skyler's
official birthday, but we had his party yesterday.
Friends and family came to spend time with the big
boy. We heated the pool to about 90 degrees! It was
a good party and everyone had a great time. I took
lots of photos, so check them
out!
I (Don't) Like It!

It's 5 AM and I've Been Up For A While Now
Thursday, May 01, 2008
Last night, Renea and I took Skyler for a trip to
NextCare. He just
happened to put Regan, from The Exorcist, to shame
with some projected vile, immediately after
I was inquiring how he was feeling earlier.
Renea spend a few hours with him and then
Josh watched him a for a bit. Renea and I
have been taking time off work to spend time
with him at home. He hasn't had a fever, but
still has a bad stomach virus that is going
around. So, today I am staying home with him
again. I am glad, though, because I get to
miss a staff meeting at work!
This past night, though, has been a struggle dealing with Skyler's sickness and current state of "terrible two-ness". Sometimes he says he wants something, but when given the item, he refuses it. And then cries because he wants it. Then, he says he doesn't want it. And then cries because he wants it. Then, says he doesn't want it. And then cries because...
