Hannah Montana Concert Tonight!

The girls are having a GNO (Girls Night Out) tonight at the Target Center. I had the fortunate opportunity to purchase tickets - from ticketmaster during the 30 seconds of time the show wasn't sold out. I don't think it is possible to be fortunate that you could buy tickets from TicketMaster, but this might be the exception to that rule.

Have fun, ladies.

One of the reasons why everybody loves Acer...

I (re)found this in Acer's box of Kindergarten work. His teacher had the students draw a picture of a family pet. The accuracy of this work is astounding - or disgusting - I'm not sure which at the moment. Enjoy Acer's "Goliath"

Joel's Bundle o' joy

For those of you knowledgable in things Joel/Dana - They are enjoying a wonderful baby daughter born a few weeks ago! I'll be adding a link shortly for those interested in keeping tabs. Congrats to Joel and Dana - we will be out to visit at some point- brace yourselves.

1st day of school for the kids!

As any family does, Michelle and I have pictures of the 1st days of school for the kids. However, we like the kids to have a photo in the classroom rather than outside of our house...I mean, come on, we've seen them outside of the house before - we won't visit their classrooms ever again.

Train Ride on the Zephyr

Michelle and I spent her birthday on the Zephyr train out of Stillwater. It was a very filling meal and a good getaway. Thank you Paul and Teri! We enjoyed the trip and had a good chuckle about the couple whom shared our table. I'll just say that this man thouroughly enjoyed every last morsel of food - more so than I've ever imagined anyone could. My favorite was how he ate the shrimp - then picked out any small piece left in the tail with a fork and ate that.

Happy 27th birthday, Michelle.

Whoa, been awhile...

Sorry everyone,

I've got no excuse, but I could try to come up with one or three hundred. August has been a busy month for the family.

We'll hopefully get updated on Acer's birthday, Michelle's birthday, School starting, and more...
