My little Mac is 3. Wow! Mac enjoyed Pizza Hut, presents, fun with the Thomas family, and a spider web (silly string) fight on his big day.

If you don’t include Texas, Vandy, and G’Town; I predicted every upset yesterday in the NCAA tourney.Unfortunately, I had all 3 in sweet 16.
Titus went with me to drop off the rental car and that is when i realized that he was only wearing his boxers. I wonder why he is cold.
I’m pretty sure that the song I’M AWESOME by Spose is soon to be the most addictive song on the radio. The clean version of course :)
I am back from a couple days at BBC. I must admit, I am excited for the college for the 1st time in my life. They are making good changes.
Just ate at Lambert’s with my dad. He is driving us home. I called dibs on riding shotgun. Learned my lesson in college.
On a walk with my dad at the springfield nature center. Beautiful weather today. Just saw some deer.
Heading to Springfield to teach at my old college for a couple days. Singing with the radio and talking to myself. More updates to come.
I am having a great week. All the LC Youth Pastors came to town, Jeremy Cox joined the team, and I was an armor bearer 4 Craig. God is good.

Kristi took the trash out for me this afternoon, so I wouldn’t have to take it out in 18 degree temp tonight-Hip hip hooray! I love my wife.
Mac got a little boy toilet and some big boy underwear tonight. Soon he will be able to stop, drop, and pee. Basic training starts soon.
Titus has entered the WHY stage. To make sure his brain doesn’t get bigger than the rest of him, he has to do 5 push ups when he asks why.
I ran over 100 feet of hd cables today. Sorry geek squad, you will not be receiving my money or resume.

Titus told us his future plans at lunch (while he wore his cowboy hat): when I get older, I am leaving okc to go out west and be a cowboy.
Warming up in front of the fire after a snow ball fight w/ the boys. Titus has been praying for snow on Christmas for 2 weeks. God said yes.
Tuesday update: All of Kristi’s family is here. Titus cut his own hair today. Titus cried because Mac won a wish courtesy of a wish bone.

All day my calves have been so sore that I couldn’t walk and when I did my family laughed at me. That didnt stop me from a date with Kristi.
Did the math again. First silver lake game in fifteen years. Getting to hang with Kristi, Darrin, and Jordan. Go eagles!
At a silver lake football game for the first time in ten years. Go eagles!

Last week, Kristi went on a trip and I cleaned house. This week, I went on a trip and Kristi painted the house (the living room). She wins!
At the waffle house with the boys. It is their reward for good behavior. They are both wearing official waffle hats.
Titus: Dad, we need to go buy a scarecrow to scare the crows. Me: We don’t have crows. T: Can we go buy crows, so we can buy a scarecrow? No
Listening to some 80 hair band ballads with @scottrodgers and talking about the good ol’ days. Current playlist includes Scorpion.
2 weeks ago, most of people at the office were OU fans. This week, most of them became OSU fans. What bandwagon will it be this week? UT?
Hanging with my boys tonight. At Red Robin now, going to the dollar movies next. Having fun already.
Tonight, Kristi organized the cards I’ve given here in the past. Apparently, I bought the exact same anniversary card the last 2 yrs. Oops!
Two parents doing a NFL fantasy draft at the same time equals a bad idea. Our boys trashed the house. Lots of beer cans. Just kidding.
Played a little tennis today with Kristi. One of us threw our racket. Guess who?
Dave Ramsey would be proud of me. I bought his $23 book for $1 at a garage sale.
Went on a walk with my family. My brother, aka wheely, wrecked my bike and hurt his ankle (ankle not as wounded as his pride). Go Jordan!
In a couple minutes, Mac will be going to bed without his pacifier for the first time in a long time. Hoping it goes better than I think.

Enjoyed a picnic at the park with the family. Now we are going on a walk. Nice weather.
Tonight in church, Mac flipped his bible story coloring page over and drew Batman instead.
Me: time to go get your surprise Titus. Kristi: are we going to go get ice cream now? Titus: ice cream is my surprise? Me: not any more.
Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #studentministry #youthpastor #lifechurch
At a drive in movie with the family. This should be fun.
Titus just left for his first day of school. He woke up at six. He may be a little excited.
The McCarter Choice Award for the best theme park experience goes to Disney. Sea World is a nice place, but was destroyed in every category.
Experiencing a rain delay here at Sea world. Luckily we were at the dolphin show and are still dry. Others made a run for it. Bad move.
Memaw: Titus did you like the Shamu show? T: they didn’t eat anyone. M: they don’t eat people in the show. T: why not? They’re killer whales
We are at Sea world today. Titus has been asking God for the last couple weeks to not let the whales and sharks eat him.
The parade gave my boys a second wind. Time for Buzz Light.year. To infinity and beyond!
My boys just had two minutes to play with Mickey and Minnie. It was hilarious! Is it weird that they were calling them mommy and daddy? :)
Welcome to the most magical place on earth. So far the best magic trick was how fast my money disappeared. My boys are excited!!!
Landed in florida. Titus’ first words: Oh no, we are back where we started :( lol. However, this is where my ministry career started.
Getting ready to get on a plane for a family vacation. Titus is so excited. He has not stopped talking since he woke up.
T: Dad, we are back to where we started. Me: no, we are in St. LOUIS. T: this is where the cardinals play baseball. Me: I am a proud dad.
2 weeks ago, my friends showed up for a bike ride like normal people. This week, they showed up as team radio shack w/ new bikes. I lost :(
