Amy and I went out last night and while in line getting a coffee, a huge man law was broken by the cashier/barista. “That is a really nice shirt, sir.” [Grant with look of complete bewilderment.] If I had been wearing a T-shirt – that would have been legit. One man can compliment another man read more
My first video to post. Click PLAY to see the film. Thanks to Rowland for the Spyder Jacket from China. Download it here.
I’m not sure what is more pathetic… A doll that is dressed like a hooker… A doll that is dressed like a hooker with the brand name “Bratz”… A doll that is dressed like a hooker with the brand name “Bratz” and the character name of Jade… A doll that is dressed like a hooker read more
15 years ago I said “I do.” I made a lot of promises on that day I quite honestly didn’t think very deeply about. I’m not saying I didn’t mean them. I meant them as much as a 21 year old could, I guess. I had no idea then that we’d move from Texas to read more
Ahhhhh. What a great few days and now we are back just in time for the 2nd blizzard of the year. 10-18 inches in the next 24 hours. Here are the highlights of Christmas Eve: My In Laws in Hungary sent us a cookie bouquet (which I think is the most bizarrely spelled word). In read more
I’m going to take a few days off from the blog. Mom and Dad (Amy’s folks) are here. Going to enjoy the time with them. To all of you – Merry Christmas. I know this time of the year can be both the most depressing and the most wonderful. Sometimes at the same time! So read more
After we ran some errands – see below – it was time to hit the hills. The 3 C’s getting some air: Amy is about to get some air here… And various other shots… Me and Cayden rippin’ up a run… Tired girls…. The way home…
Technology is a wonderful thing. Here are the x-rays of Cooper’s knee. Somethings wrong with – a pain of some sort – and the doctors aren’t real sure why. So we got some cool pics of Coop’s knee. So all my doctor friends…what do you see?
This is crazy. Here’s what we are doing today. Our house and me and my neighbors digging out. I barely got in the front yard when two of my neighbors – one with a snow blower – came over and started helping. Incredible. Of course, I was informed that since we live on the corner read more
Because of this… We are postponing the open house tonight. Enjoy the snow. We will. We will also enjoy the joys of Lego Star Wars 2.
It’s semi-official…barring any last minute crashes, Allen Iverson will become a Nugget as of 4 pm local time today. What the Thuggets get – the #2 scorer in the NBA with enough attitude and tattoos to intimidate the scariest of opponents. What they had to give up – Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and 2 first-round read more
Here is a link to the whole article. Interesting bit about the article – it’s written by a Brit and there is a bit of language that is okay in England but not so much here. Makes for an interesting example of two peoples separated by a common language. Of the 10, we’ve owned these… read more
The full story is here but here are my thoughts concerning the brawl and the punishments. To David Stern: Bravo on 15 game suspension, bravo on 10 game suspensions, bravo on team’s being fined. Boo on allowing Isiah Thomas escape unscathed – and don’t give me the “we didn’t have enough evidence.” Turn on Sportscenter read more
The addiction I have known as Broncos football was well rewarded yesterday. The rookie just keeps improving. The 54 yard touchdown bomb to Javon Walker showed everyone why Cutler is playing right now. Cutler was standing on the Bronco 35 yard line when he threw the ball, got hit and the ball landed in Walker’s read more
First, the loot: Cutler Jersey Bronco Sweatshirt Spy Kit (not shown because if I did, I’d have to kill you.) DS game – Mario 3 on 3 Basketball Coop went to put on the sweatshirt – Camber grabbed the jersey. I’m raising her right, what can I say. The activity – bowling. For some reason, read more
We had our staff Christmas Party tonight. I think you could feed a small country with the amount of food that was there. On the way, we picked up some summer sausage and cheese and crackers. Tell me, is there anything better than those three? That’s a meal right there. I love summer sausage. Brings read more
My friend David E. sent this to me yesterday. This photo was taken right outside the K-mart on Rodney Parham, next to Chuck E. Cheese. Just gotta love it. [tags]K-mart Santa, Little Rock[/tags]
I’m ready to go skiing. Today. Tomorrow. I’m just itching to do it. BUT… Kids room need shelves…. Garage needs a couple more shelves…. Extension ladder needs to be hung…. Bikes and skis migrated from Davidson’s house…. skis waxed, boots and bindings fitted…. Finish up my breakout of 1 John…. Finish up my CRASH: Surviving read more
KBCO in Boulder mailed out these Christmas CD’s and if you get a chance to get one – do it. It’s the best Christmas CD I’ve listened to in a long time. In particular is The Fray’s version of O Holy Night. I tear up every time I hear it. By the way – did read more
Chris asked this question here: OK So what do you think of my Buccaneers big boy?! It’s a question worthy of a full post. First of all, the Bucs have one of the best looking unis in professional sports. Pewter Power, baby. But to keep in the style of the original post: The Bucs have read more
Hear me out on this. This year we’ve seen… Sunday Night become Monday Night and vice versa. New Orleans Saints become America’s Team, replacing Dallas. Dallas becomes Philly (soap opera, NFL style). Philly become Green Bay (as goes the QB, goes the team). Green Bay become the Chargers (we’ve got this talent, now what?). The read more
Do you ever get the idea that maybe you’re over-parenting? I’m amazed at my ability to hang out with youth and not have a care in the world but the moment my kids come in the room I become “Control Freak Grant.” It’s not good. It’s definitely a character flaw that needs to improve on read more
Watching New Orleans open up a can on Dallas, Al Michaels was in rare form. It’s a treat to watch a game called by Madden and Michaels but when a game is a blowout, it really sets up the stage for some great quotes… After Reggie Bush scored a 75-yard touchdown pass… “If you’re Houston read more
What the heck is up with the Broncos. Can’t block. Can’t tackle. Can’t play special teams. Can’t stay in bounds. We can kick field goals. Current score: 14-3, Chargers. UPDATE 1: This is why Cutler is playing. Laser arm…canon…not getting rattled. But methinks that the gap is to big. UPDATE 2: Phil Simms just made read more
I’m setting up our next series at Refuel and this was the question Wednesday night. The responses were interesting in that I’m not sure that much has changed over the last 50 years as to what “cool” is. Plus, students and adults like were rattling off answers as to what defined “cool.” The answers slowed read more
a stud. I’m putting the finishing touches on my new laptop and watching the John Mayer concert I DVRed. He just got done playing The Heart of Life, off his new album Continuum. It’s the kind of song that Row and I would have built a worship encounter around – it’s about dealing with bad read more
We’re getting new computers at the church. And that is awesome but one of the minor irritations is transfering files and programs. I have Libronix but alas in all of my incredibly sharp organization skills, I’ve misplaced the original DVD that it came on. I call Libronix and tell them the story – here’s the read more
2 out of 3 kids in the English household love getting Strep Throat. So is our lives this week. So much for another great weekend in the Colorado outdoors. It’s amazing to me to watch how our kids react to being sick. Cooper – he’ll lay on the couch, take his meds, play X-box and read more
Church was even more awesomer than usual yesterday. Mainly because our worship leader – Josh Wheeler – gave me two tickets for the Bronco-Seahawk game. Matt Davis and I went to see the Rook debut. I’ll talk more about that – but first the experience. Our seats were great – they were upper deck but read more
Ahhhhh, the joys of moving in, getting settled, and creating space. I decided not to blog for a week, kinda like a purge. Now – it’s time to binge!!! So let me tell you some of the joys of buying a house in Colorado from a couple going through a bitter divorce using a relocation read more
