Trick or Treating.......

Anxiously awaiting daddy's arrival from work so the family can hit the trick or treat trail!

Jaden "Peter Parker" getting ready for a night out on the town. As you can see, I have put Jaden on a strict weightlifting regimen. There might have been some steriods involved, but we aren't here to talk about the past.......

Practicing shooting his spiderwebs

Which way do we go?

There was a firetruck and and ambulance at the end of the street tonight for the kids and Jaden got a fireman's hat. Spiderman the firefighter.

Going it alone!

Mommy and Jaden

Daddy and Jaden

Spiderman back at home with the loot!

Peter Parker enjoying the loot. It's much easier to eat without the mask on.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Jaden, Shannon and Guy!

Ruth Chris has nothing on me!

Mommy said she wanted a "good meal" for dinner tonight. Being the good husband that I am, I inquired as to what a "good meal" meant to her. I kind of figured that we were going out to dinner, but she said it meant one of daddy's home cooked / grilled meals. Well, here are the results. I grilled the asparagus on the grill with the steaks. Both the steaks and asparagus were seasoned nicely. It was dark out when I cooked, so I used the remote thermometer my parents gave me for Christmas last year. That thing works great. When I saw the steaks at 140 degrees, I went out and took everything off of the grill. I hate to toot my own horn......AH, who are we kidding....If I don't don't do it, there isn't anyone that will. I guess I could have made this post much shorter had I just posted the pictures and said "THIS is why daddy is the cook of the house", but I'm too humble to do so. Enjoy your week and Happy Halloween!!!!

Shhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

It's really odd that I'm not getting as much grief as I normally do from my "local" friends and family about the Raiders this season. Perhaps it is because BOTH teams might be watching the playoffs from home this season. Yes, I am well aware that the Colts are still in the hunt, but for those of you that were upset that they were put in the AFC South, be happy now. Were they still in the East, they would be in dead freaking last with Miami......I certainly welcome the comments that are sure to come about "the recent past", but just know that Manning might be playing golf with Russell in December.....Oh, and not to pull the Indiana University "How many banners do you have?", BUT the last time I checked......the Colts only have two Super Bowl wins, versus the Raiders THREE!

By the way, this post is for my nephew Nick, as much as it is for me!

(before you start posting, I said SUPER BOWL wins)

Potty Training Update

Good morning and Happy Sunday to all! I just wanted to give you all an update on how Jaden's potty training has been coming along. It's been awesome. He has been waking up with dry diapers both after naps and overnight. He tells us when he needs to go potty and sits on the big potty to do his deed. He hasn't had any "accidents" of late (THANK GOODNESS for daddy) and has been doing all of his business on the potty. I'll try to get some pictures today to post, as we are going to visit grandma Karen and grandpa Tom later today. Enjoy your day and Go Raiders!
