First Amendment to My Blog: Free Comments.

This blog will heretofore be a free-comment blog. (Based on past history it will likely be a comment-free blog too.)

Ashley just did a post about her 'display-off' with Kaari. But she's not letting anyone (me) give their opinions (Ashley's display rocks!) for fear of conflict with Kaari (hack). I say, let the best display win! So if you too have been silenced, please leave your comments and votes here without fear of censorship (unless I don't happen to like what you say).

My Wife is a Hottie!

Ashley and I are going to Hawaii soon. To get ready for the trip we've both been hitting the gym a bit more lately, which brings me to my first point: My wife is smokin' hot!

My second point? I appreciate that my lady cares enough about her appearance (and health of course) to work her butt off at the gym. Of course it wouldn't be fair for me to expect her to maintain the appearance of a supermodel. But I have to admit, I don't mind it when she does.

Is this sexist of me? I don't think so. It's just a fact. What husband or wife wouldn't prefer it if their spouse made fitness a priority?

Happy Birthday Linda!

Happy Birthday from some guys that think you're pretty neat. That includes me. Thanks for being such a wonderful mother-in-law.



And here's a bonus treat from Bennett...especially for you.


...and for the die-hards.

Bennett or...Joseph?

Just sayin'...

'Wie suffers heatstroke at Evian Masters pro-am'

Does anyone else find this ironic?

Our First 4th at Home (with Fireworks!)

Tonight we did fireworks in our backyard...for the first time. MOST of us enjoyed it.

Max loved the sparklers and 'poppers'. The other stuff? Not so much.

Charlie wasn't sure about the 'loud' ones either, but powered through. (Click the image below for the video).

I love the look on his face in this one.
