St. Louis Weekend

We recently took a family trip to St. Louis and had a ton of fun. It started Friday by spending the day at Six Flags. You would think that the Friday of Memorial Day weekend that it would be packed, but we literaly walked on to "Batman the Ride." I think the longest we waited was 10 min for Thunder River. On Saturday we went to the Science Center and the Planetarium to watch the star show. Its amazing to see what is up in the sky if you get away from the city lights and up higher in the air. Like say on a mountain in Colorado :-) Anyway here are some quick pics of our day.

Rae sending her paper airplane into flight.

Taylor and RaeAnn after the Star show.

After many trips to the pool and hot tub, our trip was coming to a close. But not until we hit the essentials and my and Bryant's main reason for going to St. Louis.....World Market (chocolate-caramel sauce), Trader Joe's ( two-buck chuck wine...lots of it), and White Castle (belly-bombers). All in all it was a great weekend and I can't wait to go back.

Ok...so what I meant to say was....

Maybe.....

But anyhoo, here I am once again apologizing to my blog fans about not being on for a long time. Its hard to keep this up when ya got so much going on...but Deidra says she will start blogging with me! YAY! So whats goin on in our lives???????

THE NUGGETS!

Tearing Dallas up and down back and forth they are now resting and waiting...for anyone to step up. I'm loving the way they are tearing it up! They have not been anywhere close to win this thing since 1985. Nice to see them step up their game. Bout darn time!

So Ive been riding around on the motorcycle a bit more now that it is warming up but to get a warm day lately isn't the problem...its the rain. Now I love a thunderstorm more than anyone else out there...but I want to ride the bike. Cant the rain stick to Friday-Sunday times?

Go Nuggz!

So Deidra and I just got our first Blackberry phones and we love them. In fact this blog entry is being done on mine. Ill post from my computer tonight. Promise.

10 YEARS!

I have been blessed to be the second half of a perfect relationship for the last 10 years. I look back at the last decade and smile with an almost childlike innocence...but look forward to the future with the excitement of knowing how good it is going to get. This picture was taken in the very early morning hours in St. Thomas. Deidra and I woke up and realized that this particular moment in time would never come again. Sure we would experience a similar situation...maybe even in the same location...but never would this second..minute..or hour ever happen again. So we sat out on that balcony...and enjoyed what we knew was a perfect moment, as Taylor and Rae lay sleeping soundly only 10 feet away. That moment will be something that I will never forget. You are the perfect match for me in every way. I look at you and I do not only see my wife...but someone I still feel honored to just stand next to. Someone that amazes me in every way only to amaze me yet again in another just moments later. You make me see the person I need to be and the person I want to become. Happy Anniversary baby. Thank you. I love you.

Qick Update to the website!

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you all know to look over to the right and check out the new updates. I added 2 new live web cams for my mom and dad. They are the web cams we used when we were down in the Virgin Islands! CJ, you should remember the St. John Spice cam! I also added a new link for Veterans Holidays. Those of you that don't know about it and you or your family member is a Veteran this will apply to you. Its a bit of a unknown secret among our fellow retired armed forces. Very good prices on booking resorts just about anywhere you would want to go in the world, and no...it is not too good to be true. It is the real deal. Also added are 2 new wine links: Colorado Wineries and Missouri Wineries for those wine enthusiasts out there like me. Anyone interested in having a link or anything else added to this website...let me know. Just tell me what you would like to see added by posting a comment on any blog entry. It goes directly to my email.

Sick yet again

Well here I am on another Monday sick yet again. My kids are carrier monkeys I swear, and with my asthma Ill be down for the count for a week or so. Time to go watch some sort of TV reruns of some kind and drink lots of water.

Off today! Nice day for a ride? Nope...52 degrees. Poop.

Got some things to do today so I took the day off. 1st on the list is to go get my NEW MOTORCYCLE! BooYA! Decided to go with a 750 although many tell me I will want a bigger bike soon. Its an 07 Honda Shadow Aero. Not a bad starter bike. Went online and found a picture of the exact bike I bought though it does it no justice. Here is a pic of it below. Real pics of the bike (and me on it) to come really soon. Also, I would officially like to let you all know that I am ready for the spring. I got my yearly winter fix...and now its onto looking forward to the spring. Not to say a couple big snow storms would not be too shabby.

IM BACK!

Ok, so I took a bit of a break. Those of you that have been checking into my sight and thinking...."did he die or something?" Or something like..."I have my morning coffee but since his post isn't new...I just cant go to work so heck with it...SICK DAY!" You no longer have anything to fear. Pikes Peak or Bust 2009 is in full swing! Time for me to start posting about things other than my fall/winter love: Football. It is already February in 2009! Middle February as a matter of fact! Crazy how time goes by. Well here it is...our last true year in this crazy state. We have been getting our things in order and are now in the phase of talking about real things. Since my birthday last month, I have enrolled in a photography class. It will take close to 2 years to complete it, but I might as well learn something about what I truly love to do and maybe make some money while doing it.

So anyhoo Im going to post a lot more now.

Stay tuned guys...I'm back.

Season 2008 Over.

So as the sun goes down in the west behind Mile High, the 2008 Bronco season ends on a pretty low note. Not because we lost, but because we lost to a lesser team with a lesser QB. The reasons we lost are clear to anyone who looks and knows about our team. Injuries. When most of your entire teams 1st team both offense and defense are injured, you just hope that you have guys in the 2nd 3d and 4th position on down have what it takes to get the job done. What I have seen from our unknown players is a positive thing. Next year, there isn't too many teams out there that can say that they almost made it to the playoffs with a team composed of new and unknown players. We almost made it to the playoffs with our bench and that is an awesome thing. Next year we will have our 1st stringers back, and some unknowns that have proven themselves to be starters. I kinda feel sorry for the AFC West next year. We will undoubtedly be one of the best teams in the NFL. Get some rest boys. Heal up. And get ready. San Diego? No Super Bowl win for you this year I'm afraid. You don't have what it takes.

Go Broncos 2009!

Woah!

68 degrees? In January? Well, nice to get the dust out of the house I guess. Opened the windows and cleaned up a bit around the house. Well honestly, with my allergies, Deidra actually did it all. And my allergies have subsided quite a bit. I owe it all to her. She is the best wife and friend anyone could ever have.

Silver Dollar City!

A couple weekends ago, we went to Silver Dollar City with our family on my wife's side. It was a great time to be had by all...but was not quite as fun or the same without her dad. We all missed Jim but enjoyed the trip. The kids got to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas but unfortunately I didn't get to tell him what I wanted..I didn't think his lap could take the pressure. Anyhoo here are some of the pics we took of our Branson trip.

The lights were beautiful! Here is a motion pic I took. I liked the motion effect.

Rae Just found out that her kiddy coaster ride broke down...as you can tell by Taylors face...I dont think the "kiddy" coaster breaking down was as much of a downer for him.

A good "Mom and daughter" pic of my wife's sister. Though an innocent smile on her grill is portrayed...I know the true thoughts that seep from deep within the dark corners that exist in her mind...Just takes a bit of beer and a late night drinking game to bring it out! But don't worry. What happens in Branson..stays in Branson...

Not quite sure who is more confused by the magical moving picture box thingy.

Such a hard life...a pappy..some warm milk...someone always cleaning up your poo...and every girl in a square mile taking turns fighting over you...must suck.

Here all the grand kids...yes you too Girdie!

Mary....after 3 shots of hard liquor washed down with a tall boy of Schlitz malty. Ok not really...but doesn't she look all cozy and comfy?

A pic of the girls. Someone has to tell "Chris-teen" to shave. The beard is no longer something she can hide.

The 2 pics above are pics taken inside theatre room during the play "A Christmas Carol". I love this show. I see it every time we are there for the holiday.

Here is some pics of us waiting for the train. Rae has some hot chocolate. Its the best darn hot chocolate you will ever have. Both of them had at least 2 full mugs a piece. I had 3.

I love this show as well. Different cast members than last year, but still a great show.

Ever wonder what a true gang of Opera house Gangstas look like? Now you don't.
