In 1988, I received a Lego 6395 Victory Lap Raceway! Well, I think that’s when I got it, I was like 9 so I don’t remember, but that’s when it came out. Fast forward a few (ok a lot) of years, and I put it back together! This is a pretty sweet Lego set that […]

My wife ordered a weird 2020 calendar.
When my wife ordered a 2020 calendar, she picked one with a cute cupcake on it. Turns out, every month is a new and “interesting” graphic. This wasn’t what she was expecting, but we’ve had some fun conversations. They have a 2021 calendar if you want to get your own or they have a lot […]
We built a treehouse!
During the summer of COVID my family and I had time to build a tree house. I’m not the most talented in the area of building things, but, with a little bit of help, we were able to accomplish it! A huge thanks goes out to my neighbors who let me borrow tools, helped haul […]
Photo a Day Challenge
On January 1st I started a photo a day challenge and you can see my photos over at stormwp.wordpress.com. I’m not following any sort of list or recommendations but rather just taking a photo a day. Turns out that taking a photo a day is both easy and hard. Some days I see lots of […]

Went golfing for the first time in many years today.
Went golfing for the first time in many years today with a friend. We had a great time and didn’t lose too many balls. The worst hole was this one as there was no way I was going to make it over the marsh. Basically you had the tee, the marsh, and then the hole. […]
Training a dog to go down a slide is hard work.
When we got a puppy, we knew we’d have to train it, but I didn’t think trying to train it to go down slides at the park was going to be top of the list. Archie actually went down twice. It was a small slide, but you gotta start small. This was actually quite a […]
Welcome Archie
Today we adopted a dog. His name is Archie. Adopting a dog is something we’ve wanted to do for a while and we finally found one that felt like the right fit for our family. Archie is about 6 months old and has been nothing but amazing. He hasn’t barked, he seems pretty potty trained, […]

Who's ready to have some fun?!
We’ve driven by the Big Thrill Factory many times, but never actually visited. That was until yesterday. Lily and I had a daddy daughter day and decided to check it out. Turns out, it’s a lot of fun! We got to play laser tag, explore the rope course, and play in the indoor play area. […]
