Population "US"

     As in you and me "US". So I hear this song by Matthew West (click the link) everyday on my drive to and from work and it gets me thinking to myself about the things that I don't do very often. What I really mean by that is what I don't do for other people. I drive to and from work everyday, sit around my house, play with my family and mostly think about myself, my life, my money, my problems, my work, my family, my everything. Do you see the common thought process? Me me me me me!
     I am rather willing to assume that most of us do the same thing so here is a little challenge to all that may read this. I would like to persuade you to do something out of the ordinary in your own little world, I would like to see how many people are willing to do a little something for someone else just once. Take food to that person you see everyday asking for help, Forgive someone that you might not really want to, give some of your time to a good cause, stop a wrong from occuring that you stumble upon or whatever else you may come up with. That's pretty simple just one little thing to help someone else.Mmake your own little world about someone else just for a short blip of your day.
     I ask this because when I hear this song it reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life there is someone that is worse off, maybe someone I love, someone I don't know, someone I may never see again, someone that is dying, someone in pain and for a brief second of my time I might be able to lift a portion of thier burden off of thier shoulders and bear it on mine. I think that you and I are strong enough for that. It might bring a smile to the face of a HUMAN and if it does I will be better for it.

Thanks,
Kev  

My Magazine Back Yard

Just a quick thought and a picture for everyone to check out. After all the weekend brought, working my tail off and ensuring that Noah and Scarlett had a nice backyard to play in I sat back and thought to myself that Sarah and I have created that wonderful oasis that eludes so many others right in our own backyard. That after everything we did we also have that wonderful grown up place to kick back relax and reflect on our days past and dream together about our future. Here is a great picture of that oasis after I added flood lights tonight so that the kiddies could play well into the night.

Operation Farnady Fortress Complete & How he felt!!!

Ahhhh!!! So a very busy weekend in the books with a nice relaxing Sunday. I took Friday off from work so that I could hang with the parents after their 8 hour trek up from SO CAL. I stayed awake until their arrival at 2:45 am early Friday morning and then hit the sheets for a couple hours until it was wake up time for the kiddies.

Wonder What He Will Feel Like

So, this weekend we will be moving a gigantic swing set that my uncle Mike built many years ago from his house to mine. When I say gigantic I mean about 30 feet long, 12 feet high and about 8 feet wide. It is equiped with two swings, olympic rings, two climbing ropes, a telescope, a steering wheel, a long slide and a two tiered deck. THIS THING IS GIGANTIC big enough for Sarah and I to play on as well. I can't thank him enough for letting my children have it and I hope that they enjoy it as much as my cousins did.

This Girl (My side)

click here for what; "She says"


I say what a wonderful daughter, I enjoy so much watching her learn new things that Sarah is teaching her. I completely believe that if Sarah did not constantly ask her "Where's Daddy" that she would be doing the sign for mother all the time. I mean how could she be so excited about her Daddy with out Mommy raving so much about him all day. Now don't get me wrong I am a cool guy and really fun (lol) but Sarah is truely amazing with our little Scarlett.  Just yesterday I gave Scarlett a bath and before getting her PJ's on I was slathering lotion on her. She puts out her hands as if to say "I got this", so I put lotion in her hand she rubs them together and begins to apply the lotion to her belly and legs. Know as I am watching this unfold and she comes back for more lotion I begin to think to myself that I have seen all of this before. This is exactly what Sarah does in front of her every morning so while Scarlett is walking around wondering were Daddy is she is becoming more and more like my amazing wife. I suppose that means that we are both blessed with the love of our daughter.

Parents visiting for the first time

So since moving back to California from Hawaii we have had numerous visitors to our new house and I have enjoyed every bit of the company, laughs, adventures and memories that they brought with them and stored within our four walls. I always thought that a house is not a home without memories of family being in it. So I thank all that have visited already for begining the process to make our new house, "our home". Anyhow my parents are finally making the drive from SOCAL to NORCAL, about a 380 mile trek to come and see our new house and to further the process of making it our home. If you know what my mother drives you know that this 380 mile trek can be an eventful one in the VW Bus. I hope that all goes well and they arrive within a reasonable amount of time. Mostly I am excited because while living around the country I have not been blessed with very many visits from my parents and have mainly made the trek to go and see them (just so hard to travel so much). I have missed birthdays, anniversaries, deaths, family gatherings and mostly the warmth that only your parents can bring to you. This visit from them represents the reality that we are finally close enough to just make a weekend trip to see one another. It has been quite sometime, almost 10 years since I have been able to say that. So with that said I can't wait to welcome them into my front door when they arrive in the wee hours of the morning and say "Welcome to our home!"

Premiere BLOG

Hello to whom ever may read this. Hopefully I can keep up with blogging and mostly that you will enjoy what I have to say. My wife Sarah has been blogging for sometime now and I have thought that is was a cool way to relay life's events and personal insight to them. I would gladly let Sarah tell all and not even do this however sometimes I just want to tell My Side of the Story. Thus the title of my BLOG. I will definately ask Sarah for assistance in designing and making this blog fun to read. I hope to share fun little stories and keep you informed with what might be going on in my little world.
