Do everything turn turn...

     ...there is a season turn, turn. And so the song goes. Man oh man, I know change is inevitable but the speed at which it happens once kids enter your life, makes even this kid dizzy. Our whole apartment is about to become plastic fence, the cribs have been lowered, changing a poopy while a kid is trying to get away has become sooo much fun!! Once they got off their backs a month ago, we can't keep up. They are like a couple sand crabs scuttling around on the beach. So here we have episode 6 of Rockstar Daddydaycare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOo2oKueM0E  and yes, I finally edited something down to less than five minutes. By the time I posted this, they already changed again.

Bottles and cans and just clap your hands...

  If you haven't checked out aunt Lisa's photos of the boys at her website you're missing out. www.lisakivett.blogspot.com is the place to be, Digital Wonderland Photography is the name. Thank you aunt Lisa. Her last entry was about her weekend helping watch the boys while Marie and I slipped up to Santa Cruz for our first night away from double fun/trouble. She mentioned the thousand bottles one has to wash a day for these two demanding feeders. And this is what she was talking about. Luckily all those years in the restraunt industry has prepped me to be a pro bottle washer.

Gimmee the good stuff!!

    Well! Besides the biggest news that Evan is fully crawling(at seven months!) and Isaac is army crawling, faster and more curious, the boys are on a three solid meals a day schedule and they both love it. This is cool for a couple reasons. Firstly thanks Aunt Lisa for the baby food maker. I'll be posting the video soon, but this ties in my second mission behind posting the vids. Beside letting the fam and friends watch these two grow I want to provide a good example on how to raise your kids right and healthy.

    Marie has been making them all natural meals from peas to pears, not from a jar. I'm tired of watching bad parenting(Teen Mom) on tv, and maybe these vids coming out will inspire one or two peoples out there. Keep in mind the first five videos are more of an example of how crazy it is to be a new parent. It takes courage to let the world see you run around with brain meltdown. Ha!

Rehab for Elmo?

I believe we have before us the most annoying toy in the world. It makes a squeaky noise when you shake it, kind of like Elmo on crack and speed. A close second is the lady's recorded voice in all of the v-tech brand toys. But this takes the cake. Funny enough I find myself playing with it.

If you can't take the heat...

...turn on the ac! Record heat and humidity here in SD. It was 97 yesterday in downtown and the humidity from Sunday's storm left the boys and I boiling! Poor Evan had a heat rash from his helmet and rockstar stupid daddy didn't turn the air on until we were all sweaty messes. Of course I didn't make the same mistake before today became a scorcher but what is going on here? Yesterday was a record high around these parts. I'm not really into the whole global warming debate yet I don't live with my head in the sand. Every major city in the U.S. has broke and rebroke their record highs in the last three years. I was watching the weather channel(yes I am that boring) and the last decade has been one big can of whoop ass that nature is serving us from heat to natural disasters, snowfall and floods, humanity is taking a beating. I guess what i'm driving at is what is in store for the next ten? I'd like to know because yes...I have kids now. Anyone out there care to comment? Am I being paranoid? Don't answer that, of course I am. Paranoia is just animal instinct telling me something might be a bit off in the global balance of things and if it isn't enough that San Diego living is expensive, add kids and a big ac bill...jeez! But there was some killer waves!

And the hits just keep on comin'

    Wow what a weekend!
   In case you haven't heard the album yet, and judging by sales, you haven't! Just kidding it's not out yet. By christmas for sure. Stay updated on the CountryRockin' Rebels facebook page. It's tough you know, my rebel bro in arms, Mikey Head has a son too and they were hanging out all summer on the golf course(which is the best and only excuse). But he's back and final mastering is underway. Anyway, the lyric is from the tune "Indian Wind" which I wrote(surprise!) about Marie and I's courtship and it go, "some say you break your neck at this speed I don't agree I think time move to slow..." Well I might have to modify that one because the whirlwind that is raising kids is here.
   Marie and I had our first night away from E and I this labor day weekend. On Friday we picked up her sis Lisa, nana and grandpa who initiated operation 'Rockstar Nannydaycare' while we flew up to San Fran for the night and attended the wedding of our friends Sean and Mari in beautiful Santa Cruz. It was a one day trip, flew in, drove out and back into Frisco to hangout with Marie's other sis Amy and her husband Take. And to round out the party we had a nice surprise when Marie's bro Phillip and his fiance' Lin drove in from Fres and we all chopped it up for the night. I was worked by evening's end and the next day after breakfast we flew back down. Now the point of my ramblings...Gone for twenty fours and all of a sudden Evan who wasn't quite getting the whole eating of solids thing, was finishing his whole dish of sweet potatoes. Isaac was already there, Evan not yet until we were gone for a blink! Not only that but Evan graduated to sitting up as a prefered method of viewing the world and Isaac has gone from a mini steam roller to a full on scooter for his transportation. This kind of change is crazy man! My head is spinnin'! I need some couch time watching football to get a grip!

     Maybe I change the lyric to ,"some say you poop your pants at this speed, I must agree I wish time would move more slow". I don't know, I NEED MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT! any suggestions?

 Papa McLuhrsy's quote of the day. "When ya have little ones it's better to be pissed on than pissed off."

Jumpy jump, poopy poop, sleepy sleep...

...that's Isaac's new morning routine. Thank you Edgell's for bringing down Emily's jumpy, i've never seen poop streaks up the back like that! It's another example of how yin and yang these two are. Ai ai goes berserker like he's on a pogo stick with hyper drive and Eh eh just chills, feels the textures plays the music, watches the lights. The main result though so far is always that Isaac goes straight down for a nap and EVANtually gives in a little later.
