Well my comeback hasn't been great.
I'm going to try to post a lot more, but I'm going to try being less organized. Sometimes I will be a few days ahead or a week or something. We will see how that goes.

Diving board
Warren, Ian, Eleven, and I went to Clearfield pool yesterday. Warren was finally tall enough to go down the slide by himself and his new found love, the diving board. He did really well jumping and decided to try doing some diving and flips. 0:00 /0:23 1× He
RSL soccer game
Big Mark got soccer tickets for an RSL game a few months ago and the game was tonight. Gordon was supposed to go but couldn't make it, so Nikki and I could both go. We rode down with my mom and Mark. The game was a blast, and the stadium
GameNight
Ben and Tiff are in town, though not on the best of circumstances. We took the time to do a game night with them and Ian. We did finger food for dinner, and setup the kids to have a sleep over in Marks room. The food was really good and
Recommitting
I've fallen off the wagon lately in everything: too much drinking, too much food, not enough exercise, and no blogging. So today I am recommitting to everything. We have our cruise out of the way, which was a blast, and now I am logging my calories and going to start
Cruise Trip Day 2
Today was the first day of the actual cruise. Kim and her daughter Makenzie ran to Walmart the first thing to buy new cloths. They were luckily back in plenty of time before we needed to check out. We checked out an jumped into the shuttle to the cruise. The
Cruise Trip Day 1
Today we headed out first thing in the morning for the cruise trip. The flights were pretty easy and painless. We had been expecting have a really short layover in Atlanta, but luckily we ended up with extra time and the gate moved to the same terminal. Once we landed
Crazy Busy
It's been extremely busy lately. Work has been extremely stressful and been pretty much nonstop including a few late nights. We decided against putting in the boat for the Eardley Spit cruise yesterday as it's been too busy to think about. I do have everything ready to go with the
Kids Off Camping
The kids left for camping at Lagoon today. They should have a good time, but it does look like bad weather for tomorrow. They seemed to be having a blast, and there are a ton of other kids to play with. I worked on sanding down the keel today. I
Schools Out for Summer
School for Mark and Warren got out today. Warren was pretty emotional about it. He kept saying how much he would miss everyone. They relaxed almost of the evening, and played some Roblox. I got the missing crib board piece added, but not much else on the boat. I started
Third Pickleball Lesson
Today Nikki subbed at the elementary school. It's the second to last day of school, so it should be pretty easy. I think they are having field day. Warren and Mark are pretty excited to be done for the year. They are camping at Lagoon this weekend to kick things
Warren's Kindergarten Graduation
Today Warren had Kindergarten Graduation. He did so good at his singing and dancing. He had a solo song, and a small line. We are all so proud of how well he has done this year. We went out to eat at Red Robin for dinner to celebrate. The food
Urgent Care
When I woke up my eye was really bothering me. It just felt sore. My nose was running a bit and it felt like my sinuses were a bit stuffy. With all the sanding and drilling this weekend, I decided to head to the urgent care in case something else
More More More Boat Projects.
Today Warren and I ran to the store to grab bolts for the winches and for the crib board rails. Then we went to McDonalds so Warren could play I redrilled the winch holes and Warren helped me get them both mounted. They look really good, and I am happy
More More Boat Projects
Today was a full day of boat projects. I started out by sanding things down a bit and repainting. There was a lot of sports to cover up. Like a lot.... Then I repainted and pulled the tape. It came out pretty decently. I sanded down the overfilled epoxy from
More boat projects
Today we painted. I taped off everything and made sure it was all roughed up with sand paper. Warren helped me paint, he wasn't great at it, but he had fun and it's only the first coat. I let that dry a bit and then sanded down the old winch
