This post is to remind me of what we've been up to.

It's been a while since we've updated the blog.  Here's what we've been doing.  Sorry, we don't have a lot of pics.

-Watching movies at the park.  So far we've watched The Wizard of Oz,  Ghostbusters and Goonies.  This activity, along with otter pops and nachos at the pool, make me feel like a kid again.  It's important to feel like a kid again.  In fact,  I'll vote for any presidential candidate that runs on the "everyone gets summer break"platform.

This picture has nothing to do with anything, we were having fun though.

-Candice has been modeling a lot for Gaiam yoga, check out her stuff here http://www.gaiam.com/category/apparel.do


-Candice lead the way on the Hot Rocks Griller challenge once again.  Great event, all the chefs represented in a big way.  Myself, I worked the strongman pole thingy.  Sadly, I couldn't get the bell to ring, came within inches though, got some loving for my efforts.

-Fourth of July fun.  We played four square, went to a drive-in (saw Madagascar 3 and The Snow White and the Huntsman), ate like hogs, had a 4th of July quiz, Wii tournament, went swimming, ate some more, played board games.  Sadly, because of all the fires, many of the scheduled fireworks shows were cancelled.  We did manage to catch some shows from our roof top deck, it comes in handy.

-Went to a burlesque club, saw a bunch of fun/crazy acts.  Candice is part of a group of dancers that will be performing around town with a burlesque theme (no stripping unfortunately).  Keep your eyes out for them.

-I've been addicted to playing Battlefield 3 online with my brother and the rest of the world.  It's this alternate reality chocked full of guns, strategy and 13 year old nerds.  I fit right in.  It's the only scenario that I can think of where war is a fun/good thing.

-Last night, I started running again.  Running is big here in the CO and last night's experience was the first time I started to understand why.  The rain was keeping me cool, my girl and doggie were by my side and I wasn't suffering or bored. I'm planning on doing 15-20 miles a week until the end of the summer.  Nothing too hardcore but a lot for me.

-Candice has been watching this show called Gossip Girl, not sure what it's all about.

-I've/we've been doing a lot of shopping for the queen of my universe's birthday.  Here is a small sampling of what she tried on.  What do you think?

Not so much g-approved but still a pretty back-had to try it on.

I think this is my fav of this group.

Finally, this picture is basically the best thing I have ever seen.  I want a bulldog.
