Seems like grandma made it there okay (mostly)

John Kerrigan: Hey!
John Kerrigan: Is grandma still alive? Are you feeding her and watering her?
brannon kerrigan: (music) It's okay now, I'm here!
John Kerrigan: Great!
John Kerrigan: That doesn't answer my question though.
brannon kerrigan: I tried to water her but her feet stay dry....I dunno why???
John Kerrigan: That doesn't sound good....
John Kerrigan: Maybe you aren't giving her enough water.
John Kerrigan: Try throwing her in the ocean
brannon kerrigan: I can't throw her that far
John Kerrigan: hmmm....
John Kerrigan: You better be careful!
brannon kerrigan: Lynn and Mom are talking about you...
John Kerrigan: All good things no doubt!
brannon kerrigan: about food and what you like
John Kerrigan: OH!
brannon kerrigan: Were going to sonic
John Kerrigan: Grandma told me mom was making punset tonight.
John Kerrigan: What?
John Kerrigan: I've been craving the punset all day and now you are telling me you are going to Sonic?
John Kerrigan: Remember when I was thinking of taking a road trip to Sonic in Indiana and you didn't even remember what it was?
John Kerrigan: You have to order a jalapeno burger and write me a 2 page report on how wonderful it is!
John Kerrigan: Welcome to Summer School!
John Kerrigan: I'm having catfood for dinner. That's all grandma left for me.
John Kerrigan: Our cats are going to starve though...
brannon kerrigan: yes we are going to eat pancit right now
John Kerrigan: Oh, is that how it's spelled?
John Kerrigan: I didn't even know Sonic served pancit. They are more awesome than I already thought. Which is pretty darn awesome!
brannon kerrigan: no I lied we are going to stay home and eat.
John Kerrigan: If you have time, take her to the docks to buy fresh shrimp. That was most excellent too.
John Kerrigan: Ha ha!
John Kerrigan: She already told me what is for dinner. I think she is looking forward to it too.

10 Year Anniversary of the End of the 55 Year Drought

HA HA

Some kids are angels

and others are devils.

It's not always easy to tell which are which, but if you watch long enough sometimes you can see their horns.

Why?

The Oregon quarter features a UFO flying around. I guess that's normal over there, thank God we live on this side of the mountains!

Fireman

It reached 80 degrees this day and Alison was afraid Alex might have heat stroke, but there was no way he was going to see the firetruck without wearing his fireman outfit.

Awwww... Puppies and a Kitty

Kids say the darndest things...

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!".
I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy".
"I know", she replied, "but what's growing in your butt?"

My Spiderman-3 Review

I've spoiled the entire movie for you now!!!

Go ahead and see it and try to tell me I'm wrong.

Have fun I guess...

Announcing the newest Kerrigan

OPENING MAY 12

That's right, you guessed it. I'm talking about Cedar Point. Are we going to get a group together this year? Have you heard anything about Maverick? Maybe you have and maybe you haven't, but I bet you haven't seen the "point of view" video of this new coaster.

The biggest hill is only about Gemini size, and it doesn't break any records. Still, it does look like fun to do a 95 degree drop.

Check this out!

Detroit Red Wings

I've always liked this song. It's the second best playoff song ever after "Hey Hey Hockeytown".

I think they should have lined up better pics and coordinated the pics with the song, but this is definitely worth watching.

Enjoy!

Detroit Pistons

I got to tag along to a Pistons game with Gunnar and Douglas' cub scout pack yesterday. The game was fun, but since the Pistons already have the best record in the East they didn't have anything to gain by winning and decided to rest their starters for most of the game.

The kids followed the game and cheered for the Pistons, but as the game wore on the bench players just weren't up to the task and the good guys slowly slid further and further behind so the fourth quarter wasn't all that interesting.

Not surprisingly their favorite parts of the day were the kids clinic before the game where they got to practice basketball skills on the Palace court (Gunnar even made a basket), and the surfboard ride they got to try out before the game started.

It was pretty much like a bull ride but the kids were standing on a rocking surfboard instead of riding a bull. The longer they could stay on, the faster the guy would make it go until they finally lost their balance and fell off. Since it was free and the only requirement was signing a form agreeing that if your kid got injured it just meant he was a klutz and it wasn't anyone's fault but his, we decided to throw them on.

Gunnar did good and was finally thrown off. Then it was Douglas' turn and in typical Douglas style he tried to figure out a way to stay on forever. This is what he came up with:


It was a good idea while it lasted, but he still ended up falling off. He's just lucky he didn't smash his face on the board while it was rocking him around.

ONE LAST THING: The kids all got free Chris Webber jerseys which came with the mandatory advertising on the back of course. The really cool part was that they also received free Pistons blankets. The blankets contained no advertising at all! Has anyone ever been to a sporting event with giveaways that didn't have advertising on them? I know I haven't. It made the blankets a whole lot nicer and I could actually see using them.

Happy Easter

Sportsfans are different in Detroit

I was checking out this cool application which lets you compare traffic for different websites. I decided to compare the three Detroit sports teams (I could only do three unless I wanted to pay, and the Lions would win because football always wins everywhere). Here is the graph.

The Red Wings win hands down. Even though the Tigers had their best season in twenty years, they never managed to get more traffic than the Wings. Even when the Wings lost in the first round and the Tigers went on to the World Series, even during the offseason when the Wings weren't playing. The Pistons were a distant third.

I then did the same type of comparison for fans across the nation. This time I compared traffic for the league websites for the same three sports. This is a very different graph.

What is wrong with this country?

Meet The Robinsons in 3D

We gathered a group to see this movie this afternoon. It was fun, and the new Disney 3D technology is definitely a whole lot better than those old red and green glasses. I was going to do a review, but I realised I couldn't top this one:

"My favorite part of the movie was the movie, because if there wasn't a movie we would just be sitting there" -Douglas

If that doesn't make you want to go see it I don't know what will.

Ugly Picture

There is a really scary picture over at this blog.

They claim he is wanted, but who would want that???
