Mike Wazowski (Gabriel) meets Shaggy and Velma. Mike only has eyes for the Scooby Snacks, of course.

Some pre-Halloween Trick or Treat-ing


Watching not riding

Originally uploaded by Omar G!.

Spent the afternoon at Happy Hollow Park. We hadn’t been there in years – since Amanda was Gabriel’s age by our estimation. There were tons of people filing in as we arrived. Gabriel looked around and figured we were at the Pumpkin Patch again and quickly shouted how much fun he was having – and we weren’t even off the truck at that point.

For $6 a person, we got in and spent a few hours making our way around the park. They had a number of stations giving out candy, toys and other small gifts.

Gabriel’s new Jordan V Stealths

A simple, clean design highlights the Jordan V. Got these in a “wear now” size 8 and a size 1 for later. Even got a pair for myself. These were shoes that I always wanted but just never pulled the trigger on.

Love this one as I got just as he was about to sneeze. He’s been threatening to get a cold but it seems to be a really mild one if anything.

See all of our pictures from the Pumpkin Patch visit last week.

It’s our anniversary

Time certainly does fly! Four years of marriage, some 12 or so years of being a couple. It’s incredible especially with how many changes there have since that time. The one thing that won’t change will be our love for each.

Ready to watch our A’s




Ready to watch our A’s

We were there along with Tio Angel and cousin Richie. They scored tickets on the barbecue terrace in section 134 while we were just alongside the bullpen in section 126. The tickets turned out great as they were Row 3 seats 1 and 2. We were all smiles before the game. Still a good time even though the result wasn’t what we wanted. It still was good enough just being there enjoying the game with our family.

One of the best things about this picture is that you know this will be something these two will share all their lives. We’ll keep seeing pictures of these two and their cousins, brothers, sisters for a long time. It’ll be especially great when they get their turn to buy the tickets :)

Cory Lidle – RIP




Cory Lidle – RIP

Picture taken in August 2002. This might’ve been Lidle’s best time as a major leaguer. He was in the midst of a run of 32 innings straight without giving up a run. He went the entire month of August (5 starts) without serving up a run. God rest his soul.

Let’s Go Oakland!

We will be attending Game 1 of the American League Championship Series tomorrow. Got row 3 in section 126 near the A’s Bullpen. On my Birthday no less!

Why didn’t we go to the first round game on Friday? Our last two times out for the Playoffs saw the infamous Jeter play on the non-sliding Giambi as well as another game in 2000 where the Yanks took a 6-0 lead in the first. Not good. So, I kept my mojo at home. Now that it’s the ALCS, its’ time for some groovy new mojo!

FYI, this picture is of my new floor mats that I came across at TJ Maxx yesterday.
