October 2015


On Friday, October the 2nd we all went to our annual family dBacks game.  They lost to the Astros 5-21.  We left early.  You really didn't want to go to the game.  Puberty......









Your mother posted this on Saturday, October 3rd.

On a more positive note..... When did he get so grown up looking?
 
 
 
On Saturday October 10th you and your family came over to celebrate Mr. Bob and my BD.  Your mother brought a cake.  I learned that you have a girlfriend at school, but you would not tell me her name. 
 This is the card from you guys.

 
 

 
 
After you left you went to a birthday party and your mother posted this on Facebook.

Sunday night at Casa Antica, In Lewiston NY to celebrate my 71st BD.  On the left is me, Uncle Jeffrey,Danielle, Marcus and Mr. Bob.  On the right isUncle Bruce, Aunt Angela, Uncle Rico, Aunt Kim (my brother's wife) and my brother, Uncle Ted.

 
My brother and his wife had to leave early.  I went down to the end of the table to visit and all of a sudden I had a cake in front of me.

 
 

On Saturday, October 24th your father brought you and your brother over to see me and Mr. Bob.

 
 I showed you the bed we just got for my office. The cabinet opens up and turns into a queen bed.  You and your brother loved it.  Folding it back up you two got behind the mattress.


 
I made rolls for you and your brother.

 
The three of us played Wii in my bedroom and we were talking about you wanting to come over to spend the night.  You wanted to come on Friday the 30th, but I had already committed to helping some of the women from church at Save The Family shelter in Phoenix.  I explained that we were holding a fall themed event for children living there.  These children have virtually nothing where as you and your brother have almost everything.  It is so important that you learn to give back.  You said you wanted to go to help.  Then your brother said he wanted to go too.  I had to call the person in charge to get approval.  She said yes!  Your father said no.  Andrew said that your mother makes the decisions so I emailed her the information about Save the Family and she responded by saying
 "I think that's awesome!   Thank you for taking them.".  So, I am meeting you guys at the Tempe Mall so I can pick you two up and go to the shelter on Friday after you go to Children's Hospital  where you saw a doctor about.....?????


We arrived at Save The Family and Tami, the Director, had you put water in the fridge.  Please remember "IT'S ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK!!!"



 
 I took a couple of photos of the compound to show your father.  It is really a nice place.

After the adult volunteers served dinner for the families and cleaned up, we left.  You did not like the food that was being served so I had to take you out to dinner.  It was a Friday night and BJ's was packed.  I thought there was a Chick File' near my house, but it was a Jack in the Box, so we went to Rosati's for chicken wings and pizza.  Then home.

Here you guys are all tucked in your bed.



 
You did great sleeping  in my office all night.  I mentioned that a Denny's had just opened on Scottsdale Road and Mayo Blvd. and you wanted to go there for breakfast.  I asked Mr. Bob if he wanted to join us and he said yes.  You and your brother ordered a Christmas shake.  Total calories were something like 1500.  I try to eat only about 1200 calories for a full day.  You two left with Mr. Bob and I stayed to wait in line to pay the bill since I had a 20% discount coupon on my phone.  We got into the truck and I noticed that Mr. Bob was in the wrong lane and asked him where we were going.  He said to the Promenade and I asked why.  You two in the back said we were going to Cracker Jax's to play miniature golf.
