Broncos go 2-0!

The Grill Says It All! HA! I'd like to say it was photshop..but this was actually right before the press conference. Wook at his wittle cheeks! Oooh da wittle guy is all angwee!

You got to love it when an NFL team gets what they deserve and in this case...Philip "cry me a" Rivers, the AFC's biggest trash talking QB gets to sit down to a nice quiet dinner of humble pie served by the next big QB to hit the NFL: Jay Cutler. I have to tell you it warms the heart. Spin it as you will guys...the bottom line is that with or without the officiating mistake on the fumble call, you can't erase the stats...Jay cutler 36/50 for 350 yds and 4 TD's and one 2 point conversion. He made it look easy. As for Rivers? Sure the score looks nice..but they got lucky on a returned kickoff TD and a "kiss my lucky ring" hail mary bomb. The score would not even be close if we decided to play it safe and run the ball in instead of the throw that was picked from Cutler in the end zone. The Broncos deserved the win ... and that's a fact. San Diego's QB crybaby needs to learn to shut his mouth, grow up and play ball. Enough said...on to "Nallin's!"

"Hey Jay, this is John...did you mean to make little Phil cry like that!?"

GO BRONCOS!

Broncos Absolutely TRASH the Raiders..as expected.

You just got to love it when the Raiders play the Broncos. At the so called "black hole" (well named do to the fact that they "suck") the Bronx handed the Raiders their first of many losses of the year. Everyone knows that the Broncos will win when they play the Raiders, home or away, but even I didn't see that massive throat stomping commin! 41-14!! Wow. Broncos go 1-0 on the season. Cutler looks clean, crisp, powerful and accurate and our rookie Royal looks to be a WR force to be reckoned with! ...on to the Chargers.

GO BRONCOS!

Enough Said

How bout that.

Pre-season starts tomorrow!

Here we go folks! The 2008 Football season is about to commence! With Pre-Season starting tomorrow and our first time back onto the field gets closer, I get out of my summer funk and start to warm up for the fall! The Bronx have had some woes over the last half year including a stupid injury to our top receiver and finding out that our young new QB has diabetes and to add salt to the wounds, CJ has informed me...reluctantly....John Lynch is not with the Bronx anymore. Apparently we think we would be better off with someone else as our starter. (Ooof.) I hope our year starts out better than predicted by the football announcers. I have a feeling that no matter what they say, our Mile High Magic will overcome any skepticism that those "suits" and wannabe's can throw our way. Let the Mile High THUNDA roll! Broncos start the pre-season on Saturday, August 9th @ Houston. Let the butt whoopin commence!

I am coaching my sons football team this year and am looking forward to doing it. Of coarse I filled out the coaches paperwork as soon as I got it so I could enter my team choice. Got the paperwork back early this week showing my team.....THE BRONCOS! Booya baby!

GO BRONCOS!

Prayers of my wife's bro...

Just a quick post to all my friends and family out there. My wife's bro is in the hospital resting up after some pretty serious health probs that occurred suddenly and unexpectedly this weekend. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this tough time. I know he is a strong person and have no doubt that he will overcome this situation.

A New Post? ... yep!

Hope everyone has been having a great start to the summer! Mine has been a pretty good one I must say. In the last month Deidra's job has given her 2 raises! One for the gas price change, and one because I think they are afraid she will look elsewhere for a job due to the distance she has to drive to get there. I love that Deidra has a job that actually pays her for her job performance. My job is a job that pays you despite of it. Not to say I don't pull my weight, but there are those I have seen in the past 10 years that move up due to the time they put in...not the work effort. Will I become supervisor if I stay in my job...yes. Will it be because I am a great leader and someone who my workmates can look up to and follow? Although I would be a great supervisor and a hard worker..sadly these are not the reasons I would be chosen. Nope. I would be chosen specifically for the time I have stayed in my job and by passing a written exam that I would study for and of coarse pass. State work...nuff said.

Well we have been to six flags 4 times since it opened this spring and I have been to my first water park and busted belly first down a water slide for the first time since I was in my mid teens. Going to go there again real soon!

Dad has officially retired from work as of a couple weeks ago and is loving the home life! Although he officially has not seen home due to the fact that he took off to the islands right after his exit! Mom, Dad and my sister and two boys just got back from a long leisurely trip to the Virgin Islands last weekend. You know how when you leave your home and go on a long trip and when you get back you feel like you have had enough of vacations for awhile? Well they seem to have missed that memo. Mom and Dad are already planning our trip to the islands in the fall. Deidra and the kids are looking so forward to it! It's so close I can taste it! However I will have to call my brutha CJ on the weekends to see how the Bronx are doing. I will miss 2 games! Its all good...I will be thinking of them with a pina colada in my hand.

We have so many pics of our fun for the last couple months and I will make an effort to putting them on my computer so as I can post them up for you guys. However I do have some pics that were sent to me that I have to show you guys:

This is a pic from a "live" camera in the Virgin Islands. Shell called me up and had me go to this website and when I pulled it up..this is what I saw! Cool what the Internet has brought to our world eh? That is my mom and dad and my sisters 2 boys in the pic with my name in the sand. I was so excited to see it that I brought the kids down...of coarse they asked me to ask them to put their names on the sand as well:

They tried to get the names in before the water took them away..20 second lag time between pics but you can kind of see Hi Ray n Tay. That's my sister and one of her boys in the pic. Mom and dad are on the dock to the upper right coaching them on the job.

I also have some great pics from CJ that he sent to me of his little girl. Such good pics I had to post em:

Cute little girl. The guy is my best friend in the world. CJ. As for his new beard as of late. Not sure what you are going for here bro. I don't know..what do you guys think? I'm leaning towards one of 3 guys:

Grizzly Adams

Jake Plummer

Or this guy.

"Don't make me bring back the wings!"

Happy Fathers Day!

Ok. So it has been probably going on almost 2 months since my last post. In my defense it has been a pretty busy month and a half! It has been packed with so many birthdays and a mothers day and a fathers day. Lots of stuff to go over, but I have to keep this one kinda short due to the fact that today is fathers day and Deidra is making me pancakes! WOOHOO! First of all I would like to extend a "Happy Fathers Day" to my Father and my Father in law. You both brought up two crazy kids who found each other and due to the good morals and beliefs that you two gave us, we found each other to be a perfect match in a crazy world. Thank you.



On a personal note: HAPPY FATHERS DAY to my daddy.

Dad I am so proud of you. You have been working so hard for so long and to think you have about a week left before you retire! Congratulations and make sure not to lose that fishing license. We will be using it quite a bit this summer. I found this poem. It describes how I feel:

I find myself wondering...Did I give you your due..

For all that you've done for me

Did I ever thank you?
For all of my childhood memories

For helping me deal with life's stresses

For helping me accept my defeats

And celebrate my successes?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,Good judgement, courage, and being true

The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared

Did I ever thank you?
If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now, you taught me right from wrong....

I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated

I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along.
Happy Fathers Day,

"Dad"

Happy Fathers day to my brother CJ and his daddy Big B aka: COACH! Love you guys!

Hey CJ, I have to tell you that when I hear the words "fish" and "taco" together...I cant help but think of this:

"Yummy"

3d annual Garage sale!

Well the garage sale is underway. I came down here to get away from it all. I don't know how anyone can stand that many people wanting to buy so much crap. Oddly enough I have this theory: Those who have a bunch of worthless crap can store it for a certain period of time. This makes the balance of (crap vs non crap) tip in the favor of the (crap) side or as I like to refer to it as (the dark side). If this continues to be the case, all existence as we know it will be forever thrown into a dark time where piles and piles of worthless crap start to grow and start to get tossed out of houses onto the streets. Before you know it gangs of worthless crap sit out on street corners listening to rap music and smoking hand rolled worthless crap cigars dipped in worthless crap while getting high off of worthless crap. Before you know it the worthless crap start rival gangs of worthless crap and doing drive by's. To promote their worthless crap ideas they start to go to music studios and produce what they consider is art but in fact is just worthless crap with a dance beat. Innocent people are in constant danger of being attacked by the worthless crap just by walking down the street. Inevitably or should I say luckily someone without enough worthless crap comes along and wants your surplus worthless crap thus keeping the "worthless crap" at a level that is in balance with nature. I have to say. I wont be one of those people that has a room or a downstairs made for storing such items. Nope. Its just not safe to do it anymore. Wont do it.....eh...ever again that is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAEANN!

Happy 6th Birthday to my little girl! Now...quit growing up!

Pictures of her birthday madness will be up sometime in the next week.

Cardinals Win!

Dad got 4 tickets to the Cards vs. Astros game on Sunday for Taylor, me, mom and himself. Taylor got to see his first "live" Pujols homer last weekend. He also got to see Glaus's first homer as a Cardinal. Another first for both of us was that we got to see our first fight at a baseball game. Apparently the pitcher of the Astro's fed Molina some unappreciated chin music. He was about to storm the mound and as both teams cleared the dugouts the fight was stopped. The Cardinals won the game so we celebrated by tearing through some White Castle!

Things to do in Colorado starting in the spring:

For those fishermen out there: Blue Mesa Fishing Tournament (May 2nd - 4th). I hear their is going to be a Grand Prize of some sort and I don't believe there is a cost involved.

Cinco de Mayo Funfest (May 2nd - May 4th). Sounds like you can try some of the local food favorites and home made salsa and there is even a jalapeno shoot out contest!

Downtown Art & Jazz festival (May 8th - 11th) Jazz and Blues? No need to say anymore.

Spring Barrel Tasting in Grand Junction (May 17th - 18th) For the Wine tasters in ourselves.
