HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY, OOGIE!

Got things back up just in time to post some pictures for 'Bruce Lee-Roy's' birthday. Chris, just when you have us thinking that you are extremely deep for your age, you give us a sense of joy and relief by doing something goofy, dorky, and totally 'Chris-like.' We love you! Thank you for being who you are,whoever that is :)

3/7/09: HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, MR. T!!!

We FINALLY got internet back up, at least for a few minutes. While it's up, we want to say happy birthday to the most awesome 'fifty and fine' guy on the planet!! We love you!

What, no 'fro???

Yes, the day finally came! Chris decided that keeping up his Afro was too much work, and had it mowed. I wish I could have gotten pictures of Carlos cutting it, but dead camera batteries prevented it. Oh well, here's the finished product, along with just a PORTION of the hair that was cut. All that hair looked like a little black lamb on the floor. Should have named it... how does 'Sparky' sound?

2/24/09: Happy 25th Birthday, Tim!

Happy birthday, Boy! We love and miss you, and cannot believe you are already a quarter of a century old!

GENIUS AT WORK

I cannot understand why my son doesn't remember to comb his hair until late in the day. He told me "Albert Einstein never combed his hair, so there's no reason for me to pick mine." Well, Einstein's mother probably never had to threaten to mow his 'fro, either!

WANTED!

This youngster is wanted for extreme goofiness, as well as random acts of weird behavior. Can usually be subdued with either food or tickling.

So close...

Well, the Washtenaw Titans played their second game tonight, against a team called the Cougars in Howell at the Armory. They (the Titans) played very well, especially in the first half. At one point, they were up 30-23, a big change from last week. Unfortunately, the Cougars came back in the second half, and that [plus some rather questionable officiating at times... no, this is not bias talking, I got it on good authority :)] resulted in the Titans losing, 47-46. These boys are looking better every game, and Ivan is good coach. Here are some pictures of a little of the game (it's hard to get good shots of them moving because the action is so fast and furious).

They all looked good... Joshua really hustles out there (he's quick), Simon was not afraid to stay on his man (way to go, Simon!), Jeremy has a really sweet shot (and isn't afraid to take it), and Chris has been christened 'High Riser' by Jacob D, since he jumps pretty high. Our big guys, John, Tim, Steven, Dustin, and Ian all really weren't afraid to get out there and mix it up a little. Overall, a very good game.
