I heard all of the cool kids are blogging again. I guess that's as good of an excuse as any for dusting this old thing off. I don't know how many of you were watching College Gameday on Saturday but I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this. Keep an eye on Herbstreit...

I was going through some pictures last night and I found this one hanging around. Heather had to drink this stuff before one of her procedures (can't remember which one, there have been many). I love how they're trying to make it sound all awesome... "The Sparkling Laxative". Oh yeah, and notice that it's good for you..."Very Low Sodium". Makes me want to pound a few back and enjoy the clean

I had a thought Sunday in church as I sat watching our youngest daughter Brooke. Nobody actually teaches us to pick our nose. It's one of those things that just happens naturally. It's in our DNA. We have to learn how to crawl, how to walk, be potty trained and yet somwhere along the way we start picking our nose just like no big deal. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

This video is actually from Labor Day but when I ran across it again this afternoon I felt the need to share it. It's a highlight reel of one of the greatest Rock Band drumming performances of all time. I don't want to rat out the perp but you might find his family blog here.

Yeah, we came to the hospital yesterday cause Heather was having some problems again and long story short, we now have a very premature baby girl. Yep, 12 weeks before her due date and I guess the baby just couldn't wait to get here. Mom and baby are doing about as well as can be expected.Ryan Heather J9/21/082 lbs. 9 oz.14 1/2 inIt's a minor departure from the BIG babies we normally have. She's

Okay, so I already had my little rant on squeeze products but seriously, how much can one person be expected to endure? The only thing worse than an ill advised squeeze product is one that is expected to be there and isn't. The folks at Hidden Valley are public enemy number one in this regard. All of their bottles are plastic, almost all of them have a lid that screws off and most of them have

Okay, so we already know that Sarah Palin exhibits more dude behavior than John McCain, nObama, and Biden put together and after seeing this I think that maybe the other McCain (Cindy) might be a nice option as well... (It kind of cuts off at the end - their doing, not mine)

I'll get right to the point... squeeze products suck! This is what happens when the guys at the relish company realize that there is absolutely nothing you can do to change, update, enhance or otherwise modify their product. It's relish for cryin' out loud. So, they decide to pull some stupid crap and go with the tried and true packaging update. They figure they'll do us a favor and make the

Our friend Eva posted this picture that she had taken on her honeymoon. It's somewhere in Tennessee or North Carolina I think. When I saw it, it brought a little tear to my eye. :)

It should really be considered child abuse to be starting school this early in August but if the teachers are going to take 4 days off a month and Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Breaks then I guess you have to start 'em early. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to have paid time off on election day as well so they can get out and fulfill their NEA marching orders. Shocker - I just checked the

I'm a little late in getting these pictures posted, mostly because it has taken me this long to recover. Last week, we took the girls to Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, GA. Now, if you aren't a girl or if you don't live with 4 1/2 girls, you might not know that it is the birthplace of the Cabbage Patch Kids. I actually have fond memories of Cabbage Patch Kids although they are slightly

Who's Charlie Morton? He's a pitcher that the Braves keep calling up from the minors and he stinks. Apparently they think he can pitch but our trip to the Braves game tonight saw him go 3.2 innings giving up 7 Hits, 8 Earned runs and 4 walks to the Cards. Needless to say we didn't get to see a win. In fact, it was a 12-3 beat down. It was still fun though and the girls always have a good time

Well, we went in today for another ultrasound and of course we are far enough along now that we were able to find out what we are having. If you said boy... You'd be WRONG!That's right... FOUR GIRLS! I don't mean we're having four girls, I just mean we're adding another one to the crowd. I'll be picking out a dog and walling off the opening to my office ASAP. You really just have to laugh about

The great thing about family is that you always know that they've got your back. Take for example this little exchange we had yesterday...Brooke: "Daddy, Sam won't let me play Hannah Montana!"Me: "Okay, I'll beat her and lock her in the closet."Brooke: (Giggling)"That's a great idea!"

Yes, today is Sam's Birthday...#9. It's an odd year so no party for this one but that didn't stop her from being excited to the point of driving us crazy. She got to pick the restaurant for dinner and of course she picked Sweet Tomatoes of all places. David, Julie & Dawson met us there to eat and then we came back home for cupcakes, ice cream and presents. More Webkinz - That brings the household

Madi is our thinker. She is the one who's always asking questions about things that you wouldn't think a 5 year old would think about and she comes up with her own logical conclusions on things based on what seems to make sense to her. Well, since the frequent topic of discussion around the house is pregnancy, her brain has been working overtime trying noodle the whole thing out. After a couple

I finally got clips of the girls dance recital put together to post on here. There's about 12 minutes of video which I absolutely think are great due to the fact that it's our girls performing. The only problem is that in order to capture these 12 short minutes, we had to sit through 4 painful hours of recital time. You just have no idea what it's like until you've experienced it.

Sam and Madi were a little under the weather over the weekend and while they seemed pretty normal they each had a random occurance of the yacks. Well, throwing up suddenly became the hot topic around the house. I walked by the girls room where they were all spread out on the floor watching TV and we had a little chat about the upchuckin'. Madi finished it up with the following comment:Madi: "Yeah

Last Tuesday I was out running a couple of errands so I stopped in at a new Arby's near us to pick up some dinner. It was wicked busy, the drive through line was kinda long and slow and the girl on the mic was dumber than your average drive through worker. As I sat there it dawned on me that they had just opened THAT DAY. No wonder. Anyway, as I got up to the window to pick up my order (which of

Well, it's not a speck anymore. Here is an ultrasound from last week where you can see that things are movin' right along. It also looks as though it has grown out of the alien phase, so bonus there. We have to go to a specialist this Friday who is going to do an in depth look since mom is going to be older than "25" when the baby is born. There's an outside chance that we'll get a look at what

Last week I had the chance to chaperone Sam's class on a field trip to a rock quarry (Vulcan Materials) that I drove by pretty much everyday for 7 1/2 years on my way to work. I always wondered what they were doing cause you can't see jack from the road. In our old house, you could easily hear the blasts and the rumbling would shake us pretty good. It's not quite as obvious now but on a cloudy

Before I continue, let me say that I do agree that there has been a drought in the state of Georgia. My grass and water bill are evidence of it. However, last Summer and Fall the media beat us over the head with Lake Levels, mediocre rainfall totals and dramatic stories of Sonny Perdue driving to Alabama with his pants down to tell their Governor to kiss his arse. Okay, that didn't really happen,

Today the air is fresher, the sky is bluer, my food tastes better and the Atlanta Hawks are now tied 2-2 with the Boston Celtics. I adopted the Hawks as my team in the early 80's because Spud Webb was short and so was I. Although, thinking back on it, I was in 7th grade and I was almost as tall as he was. Plus, we were living in San Antonio at the time and the Spurs stunk on ice. Well, the years

We went to dinner at a local pizza place last night because Heather was craving a calzone and that sounded better than cereal. As we're getting close to being done, Brooke says, "Mommy, I need to go poop". Well, not wanting to hang out for 10 minutes in a public restroom when we were about ready to leave, we do what any good parent does to an impatient 3 year old... we lied to her. We tell her

I mean, Christmas is nice and all but let's be honest, the "most wonderful time of the year" starts today. There's nothing better than the NCAA basketball tournament and it all kicks off in just a couple of hours! The only thing that could ever be better is if the NCAA pulled it's head out and gave us a Division I football playoff. Combine that with Christmas and it might be able to take the "

I never really thought about it until today when I got a note from my aunt asking about it. The photos in the photo album at the right are from Halloween but none of them are of me and we do not have a son.

I realize that it's probably not completely healthy to be laughing at a beer commercial with your 5 year old daughter but it totally cracks us up and it's fun to sit around and yell "sasusage!" at each other. You'll see what I mean. They should have saved this one for the Superbowl.

Every January we have the chance to celebrate our awful planning by having a week long birthday celebration. It starts with Madi's birthday, passes through Brooke's birthday and culminates in a Sunday evening dinner & cupcake feast with David and Julie (& Dawson now) and if the opportunity presents itself, a Nanna & Grandpa. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't love celebrating our kids

It's funny living in Georgia and seeing the utter mayhem that occurs when there is even a hint of snow in the forcast. Well today we actually got some. The 6:00 news spent 25 MINUTES talking about it and I'd say in total we may have 1/2 inch. An inch if we're lucky. Still though, the girls got to go out and play in it a little and they had a ball. We finished it off with a big cup of Hot

Okay, they've done it again. It pains me a little bit that the folks at Google are a bunch of tree-hugging, liberal arse-buckets but the little shop of horrors in Mt. View, CA continues to churn out cool things that I can't do without. And, they're always free so how can I be expected to resist?

Believe it or not, it was Heather and not me that started this little tradition. Everyday for the last few weeks when Brooke takes her nap, she makes us put her play tent in the crib. She's tried to parlay it into overnight camping but we've been able to get around it so far.

About a year ago you may remember hearing on the news or reading in your local paper about the gingerbread trailer park that we, along with our friends David and Julie constructed for our ward Christmas party (That's a church shindig for those of you who don't speak Mormon). It was a huge hit and we still look back at the pictures and laugh at it. Well, this year we had to do it again and it was

I was able to capture on film one of my proudest moments as a father. I'm not sure what could be better than seeing my three VERY girly daughters stuffing their faces with the goodness that is a Dunkin Donut. *Sniffle* I gotta go before I cry.

Here's a quick look at some of the Christmas decorating we've done. It doesn't give you a true appreciation of the amount of stuff we have around the house but rest assured, we like Christmas. I have this wild fantasy about running lights across the top of the house and up those front peaks which would go along way to really finishing it off. Then I remember that I am completely acro-mo-phobic

I watched Stranger Than Fiction last night. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Why is it that in every Will Ferrell movie I have to get a look at some dude's arse? Anyway, I agree with Dustin Hoffman (okay, his character) that the end of the book was right on. I won't say anymore to avoid spoiling it for anyone.

Technology rules and I feel sorry for people that don't get it. I'm sitting in the playplace at McDonald's right now using a high speed internet connection to check my personal and work email, post to our blog, surf the web and oh yeah, watch the Hawks put a beatin' on the Bobcats with my Slingbox that's attached to my DirecTV at home.

While discussing what the kids want for Christmas at dinner tonight, I joked with Sam about wanting a new car and a laptop in addition to the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS that she really does want. Apparently Santa is bringing the Wii, all we have to buy is the DS. What a deal. Madi heard "laptop" and...Madi: "Yeah, I want a laptop."Heather: "You do? Do you want one like Daddy's?"Madi: "Noooooooo

It's weird to think that it's already Halloween again. Thanksgiving is right around the corner which means Christmas is right around the corner, hang another left and then up ahead on the right. I've never really been into Halloween all that much but having kids makes it somewhat enjoyable. This year we did what we normally do. David and Julie came over and David and I took the kids out. We joke

We know what Sam will have at the top of her Christmas list this year. We went after one of her teeth tonight and decided that while we were at it we'd grab two of 'em.

I had to order a new nub for the pointing stick on my work laptop last week. They aren't exactly easy to find but after speaking to "Dennis" and waiting on hold for about 20 minutes he was able to get them ordered for me. They showed up today... two of them... thoroughly packaged...

When we were sending Sam off to school last week we took our usual first day pictures. It's amazing how quickly they grow up and I thought it would be interesting to see all of her first days side by side. Here they are from Kindergarten through 3rd grade.

Sometimes in life you are in the right place at the right time and you are privileged to witness or take part in something that you'll remember forever. Last Wednesday night was one of those nights (to go along with my wedding day, the birth of each of our three girls and the lighting of my two mighty sparkler bombs). On this occasion I was blessed to take part in the firing of a rocket powered

I had to drop Sam off at school this morning (because I hit my good friend snooze one too many times). Somehow we ended up talking about my former boss...Sam: Where does Mr. Stan work now?Brian: At a place over by his house.Sam: Does he work there or is he the boss?Interesting that at 7 years old she is already aware that there is a difference between people who work and bosses.

Well, I have recently discovered a sure fire way to get the pounds off and keep them off, permanently! It's completely painless.

We added one to our Trick-or-Treat crew this year. It was Brooke's first time going out and she caught on quickly. She wasn't big on the whole idea for the first couple of houses but once she realized that people were putting candy in her pumpkin she was off and running. Sam and Madi led the charge and Brooke kept up the whole way. In fact, it was the big sisters that ended up with the tired legs

In these serious times it is important for all of us, of all faiths, to recognize these four Religious Truths:1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.4. Mormons do not recognize each other at Hooters

I was messing around with the camera on my phone and one of the options it offers is to take a panorama shot. I tested it by capturing the spectacular view from my desk chair. I have one of the only windows in the building so not everyone here is lucky enough to have a view of the parking lot next door and the associated ant problem.
