I hate those pricks.


This morning I had to do the one thing I know every parent has to hate. I had to take my boy in for his 15 mo. shots, six of them.

Behind my huge muscles and extremely rough exterior (get the sarcasm?) there is a very gentle, loving and caring person. Ok I am a mammas boy. Anyways I couldn't tell who those shots hurt worse... Jordan or me. With every poke and prick he felt, I felt it too. And when they finished he looked at me as if he was going to say, "You, you are the one that did this to me!" Shortly there after he let me hold him tight, but not too tight. Those little chicken legs of his are pretty sore!

The funniest part about this whole shot ordeal is how convenient it is that my better half can never seem to get work off for these doctor appointments. That's ok, Summer 1, Chase 0. Game on.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
