How a geek shows his wife he loves her…
Posted by: | CommentsHe re-arranges the entertainment center because his wife wants to add pretty baskets. Now that’s love!
Still alive…
Posted by: | CommentsJust a quick note to say that, yes, we’re still alive. The weather today was warm enough for everyone to play outside. I’m wrapping up bath time with the boys.
Look for more updates after I wrap up a big project at work.
One minor clarification…
Posted by: | CommentsBased on an anonymous comment, the preceding conversation could occur between me and my Dad.
Sorry Dad.
A conversation I will never have with my boys…

Holly maybe, but me… never, ever, ever.
Happy New Years!

As we start off the New Year, I want to share some of my resolutions for 2010:
- I resolve to eat as many fruits and vegetables as I make my kids eat.
- I resolve to brush my teeth every night, just like Sam.
- I resolve to exercise 30 min a day, whether it’s on the treadmill or wrestling with my boys.
- I resolve to try to treat others as I ask my sons to treat others.
May you and your family have a happy and blessed 2010!
Future promises…
Posted by: | CommentsDuring dinner tonight, Sam was watching one of his favorite shows… America’s Funniest Videos. Sam calls it the Funny Show. Well tonight on the Funny Show they had a quick series of video’s showing kids getting their baby teeth pulled out in funny ways. Sam thought it was really funny until he asked if he was going to lose his teeth. I said yes he would some day. He was fine with that until it sunk in that he was going to lose them some day.
Sam sat there a bit and finally looked up a little teary eyed and asked, ‘Dad, you’re not going to try and pull my teeth out like those mean Dads? Are you?’ I said no, we’ll let them fall out naturally. He seemed a little better after I assured him I wouldn’t do that. But no less than 15 seconds I made Sam feel better he turned to Evan and said, ‘Evan, you’re going to lose your teeth someday and it’s going to bleed and hurt a little bit. Too bad.’
He then turned back to his toys as if nothing happened. What a great big brother.
A special thank you…
Posted by: | CommentsAs we wrap up this white Christmas weekend, a special thank you goes out to my wife Holly. She put in the effort to put together another wonderful Christmas for all us. Thank you for having the patience to put up with the boys (sometimes all 3 of them) when you were doing your baking. Thank you for making sure the rest of us were enjoying ourselves, even when you were the one who needed a rest. And thank you for the planning and preparations you did to make this all seem so easy.
Holly, as we wind down this holiday season, please remember this one last thing… it’s someone else’s turn next year.
Love, all your family.
Happy Birthday Holly!!!

To my very best friend, to the mother of my children, and to the one who holds our family together in the best of days and worst of times… Happy Birthday. We all love you very much.
Love Jason, Sam & Evan.
A special birthday thought…
Posted by: | CommentsHolly and I were sitting down with Sam to say goodnight prayers with him. As we were taking turns, Holly said her prayers, "And God thank you for turning 38 years old, the last 7 years have been especially wonderful." I added, "38 years young and hotter than ever." Sam then added, "Wow Mom, you must really be sweating."
Holly and I just sat there laughing for at least 5 minutes straight.
