It's finally gone

Last fall we decided to chop down our Apple Tree, it was huge and the trunk split so we didn't have much choice. It also produced terrible apples and thousands of them that filled our entire yard most of the summer. We have spent the last couple of weekends burning up the trunk and finally made some significant progress this weekend. The stump is acutally gone now and all we have to do is finish filling in the hole left behind oh yeah and plant some grass.

What a weekend

My wife has suggested we get a patio table for the last couple of months, trying to spend more time in our yard and together as a family. I decided to pick one up Friday on my way home for the weekend as a surprise. It was quite comical really as we were meeting at the pool after work and I had the set in the back of our van. When we finished swimming I was going to sneak it home and set it up as a surprise. She surprised me as she decided to send 2 of our boys home with me instead, I had to rearrange everything in the parking lot hoping she didn't see me. We made it home and got it set up shortly after before she arrived home. It was great and we had a fantastic family bbq Saturday night.

Toy Story 3

It seems like it has been forever since the last toy story movie and yes finally this year the next installment is coming out. Luckily I still have kids young enough to give me an excuse to go see one of my favorite movie franchises of all time. I can't wait to see what happens to Woody, Buzz and the gang. I'm glad they grew up Andy as it really has been that long and I think the new setting of the daycare will ad some fun to the mischief, can't wait until June 18th.

All star extravaganza

This weekend brings us the annual Nascar All Star Event, there has been much debate over the expectations of this race and whether it really is an all star event. Many of today's top stars are going into the event unqualified for the race because they haven't won a race in the last year and a half while other drivers that haven't been competitive for years qualify because of things in their past like winning the event before or being a former champion. I agree it might be a bit flawed but the rules are the rules so it is what it is so let's all just sit back and enjoy the show.
