R.I.P. Corey Haim

I loved this guy when I was in Jr.High/High School, I thought he was so cute! He was a poster on my wall. Sadly, he died today of a drug overdose. Makes me want to rent some old movies. Lost Boys anyone? Lucas?

Rock and Roll Forever

Big boys got some bucks from Granny and Papaw and they bought Guitar Hero for the Wii. They have had a lot of fun rocking in the basement. Now, they are walking around the house singing 80's songs. When I start singing along, they want to know, "Dad, how do you know that song?" Hello, I was cool! (still am)

Weekend in St. Louis

Last weekend, we went to St. Louis and had a blast. Evan and Ashley just moved into their apartment (or hotel room as Ross calls it) and Tim & Michele were over visiting Lea. So, we went shopping, hung out, saw Lea's loft (awesome) and broke bread with Shane Klier and Rihanna Something. We are so happy that Evan and Ashley are moving to St. Louis and that Tim & Michele spend all their free time over there. Looking forward to many fun weekends in the metro area. The pictures of the boys faces are in the toy section at Target. I was watching them while Ashley and Holly did a little shopping for power bars and weight loss videos. Evan was watching Luke take a nap in the car. The other pictures are from the Magic House. Two thumbs up! They had an area for 1 to 6 years old where Luke spent the entire time. He cried when Holly made him leave the water section, but he found a new home in the sand box. The boys tested out the static electricity experiment. The girl running the show said they had the perfect hair (I guess they get that from Uncle Bob). Anyway, it was fun and relaxing and much needed.

Dave Bunton

As most of you know, Papaw David has a sarcoma in the back of his stomach and a couple of spots on his lungs. For those of you that don't know, a sarcoma is the dreaded "c" word. The one is his back is right on his nerves and has been causing him a lot of pain and the loss of use of one of his legs. Times have been very tough for him, but he is strong and he is going to beat it. He started radiation treatments this week. He does radiation five days a week for five weeks and then they will do surgery to remove it and the spots on his lungs. These next several weeks are going to be very hard on him and really take their toll. Please pray for him that they will be able to treat him and that he will have a successful recovery and that it won't come back. And for those of you that have already been praying for him and for all the offers of help, thank you very much and may God bless you.

Cub Scouts

The Pinewood Derby was last weekend and the boys all had a great time. Cole got 3rd place in his den. Kegan Borgic was 2nd and Destin Wilson was 1st. Ross got 2nd place in his den. RJ Lindemann was 1st. Congratulations to all the boys.

Artwork

You may have to click on the picture to see a bigger version. Ross made this little piece of artwork tonight and I thought it was pretty cool. I am really not sure what goes through his head. He pulled a card today for growling in class. Apparently, everybody thought it was funny, so that makes it ok. I told him he might as well fart in class when he leans over to tie his shoe. Everybody thought that was pretty funny. I guess I know where he gets it.

This is me on the treadmill!
