  • Main Event – Bowling with the 6th Grade Small Group

    What a blast last night was!!  It was my first time, won’t be my last time to go to Main Event.  We ate pizza and bowled two games and played some video games all in the normal Small Group time slot.  Everyone had a good time – even David had a good time and he had a broken foot!!!!  Josh Harris did a great job as a Coach putting it together and the small group leaders and interns (Colleen, Chris, Jason and Rachel) did a great job of leading and being relational with the students! Thanks for inviting me and letting me be a part of a fantastic night!

    Here are some pics from last night, enjoy!

  • Road Trip

    Last night the family made a trip to Dallas to hang out with Tyler and Jenn.  Tyler serves as our Student Worship Coordinator and Jenn is a first year teacher.  It has been fun getting to know them.  Tyler is doing such a good job at Fusion.

    After the long drive, (I respect what Tyler does even more knowing how far he drives to invest in our students) we had dinner at Royal Thai.  I must say, that the food was amazing!  Probably the best Chicken Fried Rice I have ever eaten.  The place reminded us of our favorite restaurant in Warrensburg called Siam. I ordered the Pad Thai Chicken and Stephanie had the Mongolian Beef.  The food was great, the company was awesome, the boys behaved, and it was fun just to get away and have dinner with family and friends!

    Now we just have to find a Thai food place this good closer to us, any suggestions?

  • I have a confession . . .

    I really was disappointed with the Lost Season opener until I realized we only caught the last hour of the season opener!  I must retract my disappointment, after watching the first hour, a lot of things made since again, thank goodness for hulu and ABC Internet TV!!!

  • LOST – Season Opener

    LOST has been our favorite TV show for almost 4 years now.  However, I am losing interest in it for a couple of reasons.

    1. The short season!  It’s been almost a year since the last episode and the new episode that aired last night (which I might say was a disappointment).  I remember the hype, excitement, and buzz that use to be around in the first 3 seasons, but now, with all the time in between, I think people have gotten interested in other shows that are more consistent and provide the same type of drama, action, and suspense.
    2. Season Opener!  I don’t know when they filmed it, but it didn’t meet my expectation of what it was going to be.  Since leaving the Island I think its been hard to adjust to the way the characters who we loved and cheered for, are now depressing and messed up.  I did like that we got to see what was going on on the island last night with the others.

    It will be interesting what happens next week!  Maybe my expectation and excitement were just too high for last night.  I am not throwing in the towel but hope it gets better as the season moves along!

  • LOST – The wait is over

    It’s Back!!!!  Our DVR is set to record LOST tonight . . . is yours?  Here’s a teaser of what tonight’s episode looks like!  If you want to watch it late, your welcome to come hang out at our house for a LOST party!  We will start it at 9:15 pm!!!!

  • What a Week!!!

    It’s seems that the last two weeks have been crazy busy.  It has really impacted my blogging . . . I just haven’t had time to write so here is a highlight of the week looked like for us.

    Both boys have been sick.  Not running a fever sick but we took them both to the doctor on Monday to find out that Josiah had croup and Jackson was put on an antibiotic.  On Thursday, after the antibiotic seemed to be making no difference for Jackson and his congestion was causing him to throw up, we called the doctor and explained the symptoms and what we saw.  Based on our visit and the symptoms the doctor said he had a sinus infection and changed his medication.  Today he seems to be doing a little better.

    Josiah missed two days of school this week but wanted to make sure he didn’t miss his teachers B-day on Wednesday.  He made it on Wednesday and on our way to school we stopped to get her a little gift and Josiah picked out flowers.  He is going to be a Womanizer when he get older!

    Stephanie has decided to turn our house in to Christmas wonderland over the last two days.  She called me scrooge earlier today because I was complaining about putting the lights on the tree. (FYI – I hate putting lights on a tree) What happened to Thanksgiving?

    Tonight we watched Kung Fu Panda.  It was really good!! Now Josiah runs around the house, like he didn’t before, karate chopping and kicking everything.  He reminds me of me when I was a kid.

    At small groups we made a music video and will show it Sunday during the Big Give.  Tomorrow I go play paintball with the 8th and 9th grade guys!  Should be fun I let you now how it goes tomorrow!

  • DVR has spoiled me!

    I am sitting in the hotel room watching sports center and there are so many times I want to rewind it but can’t.  I even find myself doing that while I am listening to the radio in my Jeep.  I’ll hear something and want to rewind it but can’t.  I even find myself looking for the rewind button on my radio receiver.  Anyone else struggle with that?
