Tiny Tonka T-Ball
Mazie and I had our very first Tiny Tonka T-Ball game last night. Sorry, no pictures or video from it. Tammy had plans, and I’m one of the coaches! Next week we’ll get some media coverage.
Of course Mazie just turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and you may be asking how exactly t-ball works [...]
Take a Lap in the Lazy River
Have a couple of minutes? Join us on the Summer of Love for a trip around the Lazy River at Mandalay Bay. Mazie’s very first time in a lazy river.

Happy Fathers Day 2008!
This year marks something that will not happen again until 2014, when Mazie turns 9. Father’s Day is the day right after Mazie’s birthday! Father’s Day is always the 3rd Sunday in June. After 2014 it won’t happen again until 2025, on Mazie’s 20th birthday. Now, I know what you are all wondering. When will [...]
Daddy’s Girl Turns Three
Today my little girl turns three years old! Happy Birthday Mazie!
Mazie has been blowing my mind lately. This morning she told us “my birthday is June 14.” I know I easily suffer from being an overly Proud Papa, but she is making leaps and strides in so many areas. Clearly we are witnessing geometric growth. [...]
Super Mom
This is definitely a parent story. If you don’t have kids, you may just want to skip this.
Being a parent is really great. When Mazie says “I love you Daddy!” I pretty much melt on the spot. But being a parent brings you really close to things like boogers, poop and puke. Traditionally Mom’s [...]
Blogger Born? Smaller Than A Redwood
Fire up your RSS reader and get ready to add a feed! Some of you know that my wife Tammy has had a blog, Smaller Than A Redwood, for a while, but it’s been pretty much idle. She’s gotten her blogger shoes on during the Summer of Love and has been posting pretty regularly. On [...]
Rhythm of Travel
Doing extensive travel with Mazie has a certain rhythm to it. I’m sure this is very familiar to all parents. I find that this rhythm provides some structure to the day, as well as some forced downtime that is good pacing. Given that the Summer of Love is six weeks long, a more relaxed “marathon” [...]
Mazie Gets Camera
What happens when you give a near 3-year-old a digital camera and explain how to take pictures? You get a lot of pictures! Check out Mazie’s first ever photo album.
Gibber Jabber
Yesterday we had a birthday party for Mazie. Her actual birthday is a few weeks away and we’ll be in Las Vegas on the Summer of Love trip at that time. So, we had this one so she could celebrate with the family. She had a great time and really got into the birthday celebration. [...]
Walking the Dogs
I always feel bad that Izzy and Chase don’t get enough exercise. We are pretty bad at getting them the walks that they really could use. One of my commitments for the summer is to get into the habit of getting them out every day. We’ve done some nice 60 to 90 minute walks the [...]
