Day at the Zoo

Congrats, Kelsey & Kyle!

July 25th Kelsey and Kyle were married

on the lake near Minocqua.

It was a spectacular day!

Noelle was one of the flower girls.

They did a great job

and had alot of fun together!

Paul received plenty of attention...

We had a wonderful time.

And you two are a great couple!

Fireworks and sparklers topped off the night.

We can't wait to celebrate again in September!

Fun on the Funny Farm

Yum!

This was Paul's First Sweet Corn Experience from Great Grandma's Garden.

My Mancation

I was reading my MMA news a few days ago and realized there was a King of Cage fight in Lac Du Flambeau, WI. Kelly suggested I take my motorcycle up to go to the fights (I have the best wife in the world!). She bought me a tent while on one of her daily trips to Target and I took off with a tent, sleeping bag, and a change of clothes.

My tent:

The event was outdoors, which made it extra fun. There were a total of 18 fights on the card.

Herb Dean, who frequently officiates UFC fights, was the ref.

Former UFC champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was in attendance. Rampage was there in support of a couple of his training partners who were fighting.

A Great Weekend in NYC

Central Park

Times Square

The Financial District

Perhaps the most cultural experience: Coney Island

Empire State Building:

Q&A with Matt Hamill and Frankie Edgar:

Catching up with Matt Hamill at Johnny Utah's

Saturday morning, 7am

Paul and Lucy were inside but wanted desperately

to come out and play!

Paul and Frances

Frances is a little sweetheart

that spends her days at Nicole's house with Paul.

This morning Paul and Nicole took a walk

to Frances' house to pick her up for the day.

Frances' Mom (a.k.a. Claire) sent me these pictures.

Their expressions look a little like

we could fast-forward to a junior prom picture on the same swing!

(Note the hand holding...)

Hopefully Paul is more fashion-conscious in his mid-teens.
