What does three Pirates, one Batman, one Skater Dude and one Teenager equal?....A large bounty of candy! The kids had a great time Trick-or-Treating with two rules in place…all Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups go to Dad and all Almond Joys go to Mom. At one point, Jesse’s bag of candy outweighed him, less the Reeses and Almond Joys. Theresa and I continued our annual husband/wife combo, this year as Mom and Dad Pirates with Little Pirate Kai!


Three of the least feared Pirates from the Gulf of Mexico.


Are you scared yet?

Jesse was Batman...


No need for Robin...Batman Jesse in the house.


This cape is really holding my super powers back.

Jake was a Skater Dude...


Dude, just give me the candy.

...and Julian dressed up as a Sophomore in high school.


Are you serious? It's too early for this.

With Halloween now passed, it’s hard to believe that we’re already into November. Kai turned 8 months and has earned the nickname Scooter for how he moves across the floor. Scooter prefers to use his rear instead of the traditional crawling.

Hi, I'm Scooter.


Jake always makes Scooter laugh.

Jesse just had his first sleepover at a friend's house and came back with the coolest pair of Power Ranger PJs that they got for him.

Check out my new PJ bottoms.

Jake’s Tigers football season ended with an exciting 8-6 victory over the rival Bobcats. It’s now onto basketball.


Jake the fullback/linebacker...aka our 401K.

Julian is doing great balancing school and his job at Chik-fill-a. Theresa and I love when JT spoils us with shakes, sandwhiches and waffle fries on the way home!


So whose the man of the house?


Argggh, I am....and don't ever forget.
