Funny Family story of the Week

Earthquakes don't scare me!!!
Colin and Blake were sitting down today to have lunch and when I was about to set Blake's drink down on the table I felt a rumble go throughout our home. All of a sudden I realized that it was an earthquake. My fatherly instincts jumped in and I tried covering the boys heads with my hands in case anything were going to fall. Within a second I realized how stupid that was and started trying to get Blake out of his highchair while telling Colin to get under the table. During this time, Colin continued to eat his hot dog and looked at me like I was a lunatic. As I was trying to get Blake out of his chair he was telling me that he wanted more watermelon and was not done eating.

Don't these kids know what is going on, the EARTH IS SHAKING!!!

Finally, after about 30 seconds the quake has ended and I am a little light headed from all that happened during that time without any reaction from the boys. I turned to Colin and said, "Do you know what that was?" Colin replied, "That's a Hot Dog, Daddy".

Trading Deadline in MLB

This is the part of the year that always look forward to. When the professionals start acting like us Fantasy Baseball owners and trade players like just for the thrill of saying, "Did you hear about the trade I made". Most years there will be one big trade that will be made and this year the award goes to, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for the trade with the Atlanta Braves for Mark Teixiera. Now this is the biggest one because the Angels almost never make big trades and they traded away a fan favorite in Casey Kotchman. In an interview about the trade Angels General Manager, Tony Reagins said, "Ha, Ha, the Teixiera trade was a steal, no one will catch me now. I mean us, the Angels." Mmmm....
