Al's Day
Hey kids,
Daddy here. Today is Alex's birthday. Number 15. Fif- freaking - teen! I don't even know where to start with his post. I could talk about the day you were born, I could talk about any one of the 14 birthdays you've had up until now, I just don't know. I just know that I'm very proud of the young man you are becoming and I love hanging out with you. I hope you have a great birthday dude, and I look forward to having many more adventures with you in the future. I love you Al,
Daddy

The Move
Hey kids,
Daddy here. In October of 2002, Mom and I bought our first house. A quiet little house on a quiet little street called Mercury Drive. At that time we had a little baby boy who was a little more than a year old named Alex. Suffice it to say a lot has happened since then. We now have a SteveO, a beautiful little Izzy, a Rudy and 14 years of memories. We've tried to move numerous times because the Mercury house just got to be too small for our family. It would seem, that the Lord knew what he was doing and waited for this time for our house to successfully sell. He wanted us to be in Louie and Carmen's house on Riverside Drive. The first time we saw the house, Mom and I liked it immediately. So after months and months of escrow hell and our trip to Hawaii thrown in the mix we have finally closed escrow and get to move in. Kristin, Cory, Sara, Dean, Grammie and Papa helped us move all of our stuff into their garage. Monday, I had to go back to work but you guys went with Mom over to the new house to get moved in. You were unable to do so however because Louie and Carmen were still there. While talking with them and walking around the house, despite the fact that he was expressly told not to open the door as the cat would get out, Jake let the cat out and he ran away. This has been known has the Mr Shitters incident. After much frustration, Mom decided to head back to Grammy and Papa's for one more night. I'm very grateful for Grammy and Papa to let us stay there while going through this moving debacle. Tuesday morning I headed to work and you guys crossed your fingers and headed over to the new house to find that they were gone! We can officially begin the move in. Before we get working too hard, Let's test the pool!

It was awesome. I'm so glad that we finally have a pool living in this town. I didn't really love the Mercury house but I did love who I shared it with. Love it or hate it, it was a big part of our life for the last 14 years. All I can think about now is what kind of adventures and memories we will make in this house which we all love. I love you guys,
Daddy

Hawaiian Vacation Day 10
Hey kids,
Daddy here. Today was a Sunday, and there happened to be a Catholic Church right across the street from our hotel, Saint Augustine's by the Ocean. It was beautiful.

Hawaiian Vacation Day 9
Hey kids,
Daddy here. Today we have to get off the ship (BOOO!) We don't have to go home yet tho (YAY!) So, we got up and headed up to the Aloha Cafe for our final meal on the ship, a good breakfast with the family. We all filled up our bellies for the last time and headed to the room to do a final check for anything we may have left.
We grabbed what was left of our stuff and headed to the Hollywood Theater on deck 5 to meet up with our tour peeps. We were eventually lead out to the final card swipe off the ship and said Aloha to the Pride of America, she took great care of us. We got on the bus and met the awesomest driver ever. Kaleo'olani, the voice of heaven. He took us to the Pearl Harbor Memorial site. The first thing we did when we got there is go to the USS Missouri Memorial.
