15 Inches of Snow and counting!!

Pic of Our New Addition - Bella!!

We got a toy poodle last week, lots of fun! Oh, by the way, Alex broke her arm too. She is doing fine, cast coming off in 2-3 weeks.

Beckham Free Kick

Another thing of beauty, Washington Post Soccer Insider Check it Out!.

Sleep Over Part 1

We let Alex have her friend Larkin over for a sleep over last night. She didn't go to bed until 1045pm. Then was up numerous times during the night. Yes, this is an early morning post, Larkin was up at 545am. Sleep Over part 1 may be the only edition ever!

Funny Statement

Alex came up with a great one the other day. The living room was a mess and she told Michelle that Daddy needed dark glasses. When Michelle asked why, she said so that Daddy couldn't see the mess when he got home!

Sunday Morning Thoughts...

Watching Tom Watson battle for the Open Championship, looking good halfway home.

Good win for the USA in Gold Cup.

More Movies

1. The Haunting in Connecticut
Very good, another based on a true story. I was at the video store Friday and there is some kind of documentary, "ghost hunter" type move about this event. Will have to check it out. Highly recommend the movie.

Just ordered some Samuel Adams Sensory Beer Glasses. Will post an update when I get them and try them out!

Tigers in the Big Apple to take on Yankees!!

Big Series against the Yanks this weekend.

Movie Recommendations

Have caught up on some horror flics while my family is out of town

1. Quarantine
Loved it. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, not scary by any means, but the viewpoint from the tv crew camera makes the film!

2. The Strangers
If this was based on true events, I will never own a summer home! This film gives you that "I'm getting an ulcer as we speak" feeling in your stomach. Great stuff!

3. Exorcist The Beginning
Terrible, not worth typing about it.

This Could be Bad News for USA - Mexico 12 Aug.

Hopefully something will be worked out in the states for those of us who want to watch!

The Face Of Evil!!

This is the freakiest baby doll I have ever seen, I don't know if I should be worried that it is in my daughters room?

Becks is Back

Can't wait to see the lovefest in LA now that Beckham is back. Landy cakes comments in the Beckham book will make this situation a handful for Bruce Arena. Visit Soccer Insider Washington Post for more.

Check out the game on FSC July 16!

KIVA Kicknic Was a Great Time

Group we hang out with in town, outdoor activities for families. Today was a kickball/picnic event. Fun time, a little hot, luckily the hike was a short one before lunch. Check Out KIVA's Site

Played a fun game called What time is it Mr. Skunk. Had 2 kids with spray bottles, the would call out time, say 9 o clock. Other players line up and move 9 steps towards them. Sprayers draw them in closer until it is midnight and then they can spray. Players have to run back to the home base area. Similar to Mother May I, but fun with water on a hot day!

Andrew tried Pita chips after he said the were "disgusting", without ever trying them beforehand.

Loved Walt Disney World

Greatest Vacation Ever!! Had a blast with my family. Went to Magic Kingdom Mon and Wed. Animal Kingdom Tue. Hollywood Studios Thur, and Epcot Fri.

Kids had a pic taken with every character, Minnie above. On the left, the army men from Toy Story were running down the street and one stopped to "interrogate" Andrew, or was it the other way around? On the right, sorry, couldn't resist, always wanted to be a Storm Trooper!

Favorite ride had to be Soarin'

Tigers Split Twin Bill with White Sox (31-26)

Win the opener with a clutch Inge hit in the 9th and Bonderman pitches a stinker in his first start of the year in the second game. Still in first!!

DC United vs Real Madrid

Kaka to Real Madrid, is Cristiano Ronaldo next? Big game on Aug 9th. Tickets on sale Saturday.

Good Article on US Soccer

Thankfully Carlos Bocanegra had no regard for life or limb and went in head first for the winning goal against Honduras or the US would be in deep trouble for South Africa 2010. After a stinker against Costa Rica a couple days earlier, the full 3 points were needed.

This article is spot on!! Check it out on ESPN Soccernet
