The Haps

I haven't updated the ol' blog in quite a while so I thought I'd just post a few of the happenings around here.  Life is good in our family!  Uncle Jake is here in AZ right now and is so much fun to have.  Even Zoey likes him which is saying a lot because she isn't very fond of men so you know he is a good uncle.  She may not look happy in this picture but trust me--when she runs up to Jake and hugs his leg you know it is good stuff.

We went to Anthem and rode on a sweet train with the Dewey's before they leave AZ and head up to the UT.  It was a grand time.  Also--Cru is potty trained!  I got a three day training program from a good friend who swore by it so we gave it a go.  I had to stay with Cru for 3 days right by his side and pump him full of liquids but he got it!  He pretty much figured it out after day one but then got real backed up.  I think he was scared but after bribing and coaxing he finally did the duce in the toilet and got Batman pj's with a cape.

This is him passing the time before the big event.

He LOVES baseball.  He does everything right handed except bat and golf.  I guess that is a good thing in baseball so needless to say Zac is pumped.  He loves watching The Sandlot and play catch.  He acts out scenes from the movie when he plays catch and talks about a Big Roof (Babe Ruthe) signed baseball.

Another good bit of news is that we now have DiCarlos in the Valley!!!!  DiCarlos is a pizza place that is FAMOUS in Ohio where Emil is from.  When Zac and I visited Baba in Ohio a few years back we went to DiCarlos to have pizza.  I had heard about this pizza for a while and thought it might have been talked up a bit too much so I wasn't expecting it to be as good as everyone had said.  Well--it is.  SOOOO good but the only bad thing is that it is on the west side of the valley or about an hour away.  Check it.  

 Two happy men.

Worth the drive if any of my AZ friends are reading this.  And I will accompany you there.

And here is me and the Z.  Her passy is in hopes that she will be a baller someday.  I know I said before kids I didn't care if they played sports....well, I lied.  I really hope they like at least one sport.  So now comes the brainwashing....I mean influencing!!
