    “Hey let’s go look at the puppies!”

    Drake Asleep

    These were famous last words.

    Many of you who know me personally have known that for about 9 months I’ve been OCD to get a dog. I was bound and determined to buy a purebred boxer from a breeder. I had even picked out the breeder from here in CO to [...]

    “We Were Just Butt Fighting!!!”

    Luchadore – Thanks to Privatus' Flickrstream

    I love having children, but occasionally we have strange issues. Strange issues to address AND not crack up about. Enter in my children yesterday:

    Crying child #2 – “Daddy! He hurt my head”
    Child #1 – shouting from other room – “No I didn’t he fell”
    Child #2 – not [...]

    Anachronistic Computers

    Rocketman

    There have been several movies that I have watched and chuckled under my breath thinking “Hah! What rubes! Don’t they know what technology is!!!” One time, my father-in-law was slightly offended, stating that it was, in fact, very high tech for it’s day.

    Enter in me, about ten years later. I am [...]

    POOBLAR!

    So a couple of days ago, my youngest little guy and I were wrestling and I had him tackled and was giving him some fierce tickles / age appropriate tickles. He somehow miraculously escaped my grip and leaped up ninja style and dropped into his “Sweet Moves” ninja stance. Think Karate Kid, only a [...]

    Perils of parenting school-aged kids

    So, killur the elder just started Kindergarten. He loves school for the most part, although we just experienced the first day of “I don’t want to go to school” this morning. Almost every single day he tells me about a little kid who doesn’t listen. For examplesake I will call her randomlittlegirl. [...]

    Random kid quotes.

    Some are from my kid, others from kids in my GiggleZone class on Saturdays…

    Random GZ Girl: “Yeah, I’ve got Dora Shoes. They’re From Lebanon! They have cows in Lebanon. Cows smell like poop.”

    Little-J: “I can make myself toot Daddy!”

    Random GZ Boy: “Stickers get stuck to my dad’s head because he’s bald. That’s [...]

    I’m sleepin’ with the fishes, and other pertinent news…

    So, happy belated Easter to you all out there on the wires. We here at Casa De Killur have been waiting for numero dos for a few days. EK was having contractions on friday evening and Grandma asked to take Baby-J for a few days (Sat – today). We were a little weirded out to have [...]

    Overheard from my son – #2 – “Muffins?”

    Our son is hilarious lately. I give to you, the latest “Baby-J” phrases:

    -Backstory on number one: I read a story out of a little kids Bible every night to Baby-J before we pray and he goes to bed. These are some of the responses to the “Interact with your little one” questions.

    After reading [...]

    We have commenced with the BBB changeover.

    What is the BBB you ask?

    It certainly isn’t the Better Business Bureau that I refer to, it is the “Big Boy Bed”.

    After condensing my plan to build a mini-cooper bed (which I would be making from scratch, barfeet, uphill, in snow, both ways ), we decided to get Baby-J a more unisex [...]

    Overheard from my son.

    I thought I would give you all some of the ridiculously funny excerpts of my son from the past few weeks:

    (While pointing to the picture of Roosevelt on a dime he found) : “He’s my guy!”

    (A few seconds later while still holding said dime): “Daddy, I need more money.”

    (While singing) : “ABCDEFG, HIJK’MNMS’(as in the candy)NT, [...]

    Parenting sometimes sucks…

    So, courtesy of Mrs. Burger, we found out that there was a toy store in San Jose that was handing out preview passes to the new Wallace and Gromit movie on Thursday evening. Since our babysitter was not to be had for small group, we figured that we’d just try and go to it. [...]

    Dragontails – Z

    So, this last weekend, we had Cable and his newly betrothed, Lady Hurricane up for the weekend. I’m not sure when this happened, but someone (no one is fessing up, so I will take credit for the creativity) did a little modificaiton on a Dragontails printout on the coffee table. EK got it from [...]

    The Xbox bubbles – spiders – food – comb game.

    So, this weekend on Saturday, despite a brief encounter with the family being sick, we braved it and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in Monterey, CA. We had our friends in town from Alaska, so we went down to the aquarium. After a brief encounter with the entrance attendants, we were able to [...]
