Chicago

This summer, we took a trip to Chicago to see the city.  Our vacation was completely geared toward b.  We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aqaurium, John Hancock Observatory, Taste of Chicago, Navy Pier, and Brookfield Zoo.  We also spent some time with the family.  b loved every minute of our vacation.  We all had a great time.

Let's Go MAVS!!

As a good parent, I try to teach my son proper morals and values and to love and cherish the correct things in life.  Therefore, instilling a love of the Dallas Mavs was high on my priority list. 
The Mavs make it to the first round of the playoffs pretty much every year.  I'm always a fan, even when they lose...every year...  This year, I held my breath as they went all the way!  My b was right there cheering with me!

He likes to play basketball while the game is on.


He shouts appropriate phrases at the TV such as "Get the rebound" and "From down town!"


Bryan and I went to the watch party to see the Mavs win the championship.
b accompanied me to the parade.  We had a blast.
