Easter Egg Time

Easter is tomorrow! We spent Good Friday dying Easter eggs and making cupcakes.



Added Kool Aid so you don't have to use stinky white vinegar.


Eliana cracking up while telling her own stories just like her dad.

It's quite an operation dying Easter eggs. Cleanup is just as labor intensive.

Time to add strawberry icing to the cupcakes! Yum.

Evan being very careful not to stain his beloved Umbro soccer shirt. 

I think Kyleigh ate more icing than she put on the cupcakes. 

Happy Easter!

For Evan: Most Expensive Cars in the World!

 World's most expensive cars link. (Click Here)
Ever since my son became a fan of Forza Horzon 3 on Xbox One, he's become a super fan of super cars. (Click here to check out the link on Digitaltrends.com) First on the list is the koenigsegg ccxd trevita (I had to copy and paste that because there's no way I'm spelling that right.) This particular model goes for $4.8 Million US dollars. That's $4,800,000.00! Insane. With a top speed of over 250mph, it's basically like being strapped to a rocket, and probably not practical for every day driving. It's priced at over $300,000 more than it's nearest competitor, the Lamborghini Veneno, at $4.5 million. Obviously only for the super rich. Check out all the cars on the list. Bughatti didn't even make the top 3!

Spring Nor'easter

Well we got hit with our 4th Nor'easter of March. Some places fared better than others. Anywhere from 1" to 19". Here in southeast PA, we had about 5-6" of wet snow. The kids had 2 days off from school. So Evan called me this morning and asked if I'd take him and his buddy Gavin Sledding/Snowboarding.

The kids never saw "Office Space" so this meme may be lost on them, but you get the idea. 

We headed over to Lynwood School in Havertown. There are some good hills there. Nothing crazy, just good sledding hills.Very crowded today as I'm sure people think this may be the last sledding opportunity of the year, but with the way the weather has been, who knows? Evan and Gavin took turns on his snowboard. 

Gavin riding the sled down the hill like a snowboard. 

Evan and Gavin pose for a quick pic.

Snow was pretty wet and it was almost 50 degrees out, so it was slow going down the hill, but still tons of fun!

I think he's ready to do some real snowboarding in the Poconos next year!

Evan started shedding layers since it was so warm out. All in all it was a good day. Probably our last chance of the year to enjoy the snow. Bring on spring. Maybe surfing in the summer?

Fun Times and Good Friends

BFFs Eliana and Kyleigh

The girls with Angel, one of two brothers, the much bigger one is named Scooby. 

Girl Power!

Evan helping his buddy Baydon get back into his Deadpool suit before the next shot.

Brayden (on Right,) is truly a superhero. He lost his dad, (and my good friend, Keith,) just a few months ago. But his spirit and enthusiasm is contagious. He's just an all around great kid, loves sports, video games, and has an awesome attitude.

Who is this kid???

Evan walks up to my car today looking more stylish than some of the rappers I've worked with at music festivals. So of course we had to do a photo shoot! My neighbor has a 2012 Bentley, so we walked next door and snapped some pics.
Evan showing off his new ride. 

Evan wanted me to take this photo for the screen saver on his phone. 

Future super star. 

Testing Out the New Bike

We had a couple of mild days (between Nor'easters,) and Eliana got to yes out her new mountain bike! She had long been asking me for a mountain bike and she finally got it for her birthday. 

The trick is, is that it has several gears and handbrakes on both grips. So it takes some getting used to, but she did great!


Eliana posing with her new bike. Can't wait to hit the trails with her and Evan.

Daddy Daughter Day (January)

For Daddy-Daughter day in January, Eliana spent a few hours at the Philadephia Zoo. It was an unusually nice day for January, so we got to enjoy walking out side and checking out all the animals.

Had to place my Samsung phone precariously on a pole and set the time. Luckily the phone didn't fall.

We ran onto her friend Myah randomly, we didn't even know she was gonna be there.

This leopard was so cool. I whistled to get his attention, and he came right over. Probably thought we were going to feed him.

There's a cool overhead walkway and structure that the kids can climb up into for a bird's eye view.



 Eliana picked out a really cute stuffed animal on the way out. What will we do for March's Daddy-Daughter Day? I guess she will tell me.
