Rock Star

Here is a shot of Mack(check out the guitar face) rocking out his latest tune, "Ode to Zeke." While he is still fleshing out the lyrics, he is building the song around the chorus, "Zeke is a nerds, and his butt smells like turds." Can't wait for that one to be finished...

San Diego Zoo and Legoland

We took a trip south to San Diego, and visited the Zoo and Legoland. Here are a couple of pics:
Bo and his monkey.


Zeke doing his best "Blue Steel,"(Gorilla variation) and Bo doing his best "Standing Dork(also known as "The Bo")."


Zeke teaching another driver a lesson by giving him "The Stare."
P.S. (Zeke blew through 10 STOP signs and 5 red lights in approximately 2 1/2 minutes. He will not be getting his driver's license until his 30th birthday).


Zeke and Mack scaling the "Wall of Doom."


Bodie faked to the inside then went outside blowing by the little girl in the back while hitting a top speed of 2.4 MPH.


Some other pics:
The Zoo was amazing, but a bit large. We were there from 9:30 until 4:00, and walked continuously, except for a brief lunch stop. The highlights: Mack loved the Reptile section, especially the snakes, Bo seemed impressed by the Giraffes, and Zeke was enamored with the Gift shops.

Let me tell you about Zeke

This is Zeke. He is our middle child, and quite comfortable with himself. He lives in Zeke's World, and in his opinion, we're all lucky to be a part of it.
And this is a position he is often in(Me or Andrea lecturing him on the benefits of not speaking). I'm told his obstinacy will serve him well later in life...
He is periodically clever. For example, last night at dinner, he and Mack, our oldest son, got into a disagreement. Mack said, "You couldn't beat me in your dreams." To which Zeke replied, " Yes I could, because in my dreams I'm Spiderman, and Spiderman could definitely beat you." See, very clever.

First Post - Mack's Stair Ride

The Clydesdale in the title has nothing to do with horses. Biking is something we do as a family, and I am a fat cyclist, hence the Clydesdale tag. Here are some pics of my step-son, Mack, riding some stairs. He's pretty fearless.
