We like eating in Dallas, but we’ll always have to pay.

So far, so good. We surpassed last show’s numbers on the first day. Lots of repeat business, as well.

Front and center in Dallas. We have a much better location than the first show. Hopefully it translates to sales.

After a long day of set up, we enjoyed the warm summer night with a couple of cervezas in Uptown.

So, to all my frequent blog visitors I’m sorry I haven’t been fulfilling my promise, but I can’t stress enough that it was for a good reason. I have been watching a dozen marathons of Criminal Minds, just incase anyone was wondering why I haven’t been blogging. So, this weekend I scored a goal on a backwards header. Although I don’t have proof, you can be rest assured that it did in fact happen.

Ended the tourney with an easy 2-0 win. Brit scored an amazing twenty foot backwards header.

Brit’s team lost 1-0 this morning to a very good U19 team and a very bad blown off sides call.

Brit’s team entered a U19 Silver/Silver Elite tourney (they’re currently U16). The age difference didn’t seem to matter much for the first game as they won 4-0. They’ll try to win two tomorrow to play for the championship on Monday.

Another photo shoot in the books.

Played a round at Sherwood with my Pa.  Definitely got my money’s worth as I got to hit the ball twice as many times as everyone else.

Read Bill Bryson’s, A Short History of Almost Everything.  Very good.

Facebook has become a major marketing tool for Basically Me. Now I’m obsessed with getting 1000 “likes” within a year.

Be alert out there, people! Brit has been awarded a permit by the State of California to operate a moving vehicle. If she drives like she plays soccer we’re in trouble.

This past weekend we went to the San Diego Zoo. The silverback gorillas were the highlight of the day.

Enjoyed a night at the ballpark in San Diego. Petco Park is yet another example of how a baseball game should be experienced. Dodger Stadium should be blown up.

#30 in progress. In San Diego eating oysters:)

I just got the iphone 4 in white and absolutely fell in love. My heart couldn’t resist such a beautiful thing. So, there is a good and bad to this story. Good, I got a new phone. Bad, #3 won’t be getting crossed off my list.

We traded in the 2010 E350 because, well the 2010 is so last year. Actually, the leasing program for the 2011 was just that good. We got a few more options for about a hundred bucks less a month.

#8 In progress. As super hero movies go, Thor was pretty good. Britt thought it had a lot of heart.

By Brittany:

Yes, I know it’s not the best picture of me, but the fact that my cousins are beating me up makes it good after all. So #20 is still in progress but hopefully i can cross that one off of my list soon 🙂

Devin graced us with his presence on Sunday night for dinner, but I’m pretty sure it was the Potatoes Au Gratin that sealed the deal.

By Brittany:

So, today’s the day I get to write my first blog post….Yay!  I am going to have to deal with the nagging of “Brittany, when are you going to do a new post?” And my answer will always be “I don’t know”.  Although, I will have to be on top of my game and not quit, I am glad I can finally do something with my dad.

By Kenwood:

Just when I thought I was out, it pulled me back in. Blogger for life I guess. However, this time I won’t be the only one as Brittany has agreed to join the blogosphere. So, along with the new address and a slightly different look, you’re getting two bloggers for the price of one. Oh, and comments are enabled, so feel free to occasionally tell us how awesome we are.

Unfortunately a new beginning means the end of this blog in its current form.  To quote Truman Burbank from the Truman Show,  "Good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon , good evening, and good night!“

We spent the day in Santa Monica shopping, walking and eating sushi.  The following is the mini impromptu photo shoot that took place above the PCH.  

Because it was the weekend we were hoping for, there aren’t too many interesting pics to share because we were either in the pool or sleeping by said pool.
