Well, Arizona finally got her birthday present. She received tickets back in Aug to the Carrie Underwood concert (dang I had to go too!) She has been patiently waiting to go since then. My girlfriend Kourtney got her daughter Kendall tickets for her birthday, too (dang she had to go with me!) The girls had a great time! We eat dinner at Margaritaville (hence the parrot masks) and then went to the concert. She is a great performer!!! Here are a few pictures
Hi! Just a few new pics from Halloween! We had Arizona the Jail Bird! (The costume fit because she was actually grounded, but I didn't have the heart to make her miss Halloween) Having a 12 year old is more work that my actual 40-50 hour a week job!!!! Gage was a clone trooper, not a storm trooper, he corrected me on that one! And then we have Dane the Blue Ninja! They got way to much candy but had tons of fun!
Check out my hard work! Adam thinks I am crazy but I love Halloween!!!
And so do the kids!!!!
I took the kids to Home Depot for the kids work shop Saturday. The boys made a castle with mom and sissy's help! So of course we had to paint them for Halloween! Arizona and I finished a project we had for her room!
It's been awhile! We have been busy the last month trying to balance 2-3 softball games a week for Arizona. Golf lessons for Gage on Fridays and a moment for our selves in there somewhere. Poor little Dane just gets dragged around for now.
Arizona did great this year! She even pitched a no hitter! They didn't win many but she did great! Here are a few pics. I will post some of Gage when I remember to take the camera to Golf! (I think I may be loosing my memory! HAHA)
Sorry it has been so long since we posted anything. Arizona has softball like 19 days a week, Gage has golf every Friday and I've been working 14 hour days so we dont have a lot of time. Everything is going good, kids are doing good in school and sports. The temperature is finally trying to stay in the double digits instead of 1xx that we have been having every single day. Just staying busy and trying to survive. I'll try to keep up on the site, I think things are starting to slow down at work so I should have some more free time in the evenings. Love everyone, check back.
Here are some of the pictures from Arizona's party. She turned 12 on Friday. I took her and a few friends to paint pottery and out for dinner.
Today was Gage's sixth birtday!
We had a special dinner with his favorite corn on the cob. He got to open is present, NEW GOLF CLUBS!
He is so excited! He starts his golf classes at the end of this month. Hopefully this is a good retirement plan for us!(HAHA)
As you can see Dane had to get in the action!
The older two have started school!!!!!!!!!! Just a few shots from the first day. 
Gage is in 1st grade
Arizona is in 7th
Dane, as you can see, is just Dane!
Just wanted to share a few pics from our last summer get together. School starts on Monday! Adam and I are so happy for that fact!!!! I think Gage is ready to see his friends but Arizona is not so sure about 7th grade.
Just a few pics of the boys helping me babysit the neighbors new little girl. They really loved it! Dane even decided he wanted a baby. We gently let him know they would be NO more babies in our house, but he could visit baby Avery any time he wants.
I guess my family really likes to torture me, here are some more pics of the Hawaii vacation I wasn't on. Someone needs to ID the kids because I don't think they are old enough to drink!!
Her is my sister and her family....although the elusive Tawny only appears in one of the pictures, I finally have some. The kids are growing up soooo fast I hardly recognize them. Kristi, the kids and I are planning a trip to Virginia next year to see them because we haven't seen them in about 5 years or so. Those kids look so much like Tawny it is frightning. Sis, when you read this, tell my little Bro Trev......homey needs a haircut! That is it for now......everyone check back and if there is something you would like to see on the site, let me know and I will see what I can do. If you have some pics, send them to me and I will be glad to post them on here. Take care and PEACE!!!
Here is a picture of my mom's side of the family on their Hawaii trip. That is pretty much all of them.... there are a couple missing including myself and my wife and kids, but we will be in one of those, trust me.
Just in case you didn't know..........We have been in a custody battle for the past 4years with Arizona's Biological mother. Arizona was removed from her home in December of 2004 because of Domestic Violence issues and was placed with Arizona's Step Dads grandparents (figure that one out), after fighting the courts in Florida, she was placed here with us in June of 2005 and we have been fighting to keep her hear ever since. Well, as of June 25th 2008......it is over. After going to court we were ordered Full Custody of Arizona and she will be living with us from here on out. We almost lost her a couple of times back to Florida, but someone with more than two braincells figured out she belonged here. Since being here, she is straight A's and the occasional B, she is playing numerous sports, plays in the band and was inducted into The National Junior Honors Society.....a pretty big deal from what and where she came from. It is finally over and me and momma can sleep in piece knowing she won't be going back to Florida except to visit. See Ya.
P.S. After about 20 years of smoking........I have been cigarette free for just over 5 months. Wish me luck. Also, I have to give Props to my Brother and Sister-in-Law Sam and Emily. If they wouldnt have sent us a link to their site, I never would have made this one. I got some stuff from their site, then added some other stuff and here we are. Thank you Aunt Emily......You ROCK!!!
We took the boys to their first circus. The Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. They had a blast and cost me and momma a fortune......what a ripoff those things are. There are no pictures of Dane with circus people because Dane would not leave his seat. All the circus clowns scared him. This is the last Slide Show for a while.....trust me!
