Part of being a Dad, at least for me, is getting to fix things and put things together.  Sometimes it can be fun!  For example, putting together your kids first bike, easy bake oven, or something else that you know they will love.
However, sometimes it can be not so much fun.  For example, crawling through [...]

The other night we packed up and headed down to the local minor league baseball stadium for Ace’s first baseball game! We were greeted by swarms of fans, the smell of hot dogs and popcorn, and a night full of the All American Past Time…Baseball!

This place is sweet! (especially for a big dork like me).  Ace is kinda little for most of the [...]

The rain stayed away and we were able to go to the zoo! Thank goodness the weatherman is wrong 99.9% of the time!
Instead of boring you with my rambling on and on about the fun times we had, I’ll illustrate our fun time with a boat load of pictures…

Ace cruising in his [...]
