Connor was assigned evangelist BIlly Sunday for Famous America Day at his school, so we decided that in addition to giving his speech, he would recite a portion of one of Billy Sunday's sermon. He was terrific!

Dad took Connor out for a fun day after he did such a great job at school. First, it was lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. Second, we went to Ceasar's Palace to walk around and for Connor to play on the giant floor piano like the one in the movie "Big." We went by Field of Dreams, where Pete Rose usually is, and there was Pete- and Kenny Stabler, the Snake, former Crimson Tide and Raiders quarterback- a big-time favorite of dad's. Connor had on his Alabama hat, andd when we walked in, Kenny stuck out his hand and said, "Hey young man- Roll Tide?" Connor responded, "ROLL TIDE." He then told Kenny that he was born in Mobile, which made Kenny laugh and say that he was from Mobile too.





I told Connor to look at the ring on Kenny's hand, which prompted Kenny to do something I never thought he would do- he handed Connor his ring. Dad was a little bit excited at that point.






Pete Rose was sitting there atching all this, and so when Connor was passing him, he said, "Here, I want to show you this." It was a novelty World Series Ring that was huge. He told Connor is was from when he was fat.




Pete and Kenny Stabler couldn't have been any nicer to a couple guys not buying any of their product. I told Connor to shake the hand o the greatest baseball player of all time (he of the hated Cincinnati Reds, but I didn't say that out loud).



We finished up our day with a trip to the Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame. Connor and I go there occasionally, and it is really great- over 200 pinball games from the 50's to today, and you can play 'em, for what they cost at the time.

Here are several photos from the past few days... Chloe had a birthday October 28. My baby girl is now 3! We had a party with her best friend Chuck E. Cheese. Hooray!




Connor and Chloe went trick-or-treating and had a great time. Connor was Bibleman, and Chloe was a fairy pixie princess... something or other. She sure was cute!






Finally, here's a photo of Connor with our congressman from Henderson, Jon Porter, taken at a John McCain rally at the Henderson Pavilion the night before the election. It was an exciting rally- 11,000 strong cheering on our candidate. We really like our congressman, and support him, but sadly, he lost his bid for re-election Tuesday, along with so many other Republicans in Nevada.

My baby girl Chloe turned three Tuesday, so I took the day off, and declared her birthday a holiday. Except we went to Chuck E. Cheese, which for me was like a day in jail, or worse. But Chloe loved it, and I guess that's what's important, right?
She is my baby doll from heaven.

Took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon, and got a couple of photos. I am thrilled that Chloe is finally smiling when I ask her to, no small feat for the past couple of years. I had to trick her to get a smile shot. Caleb was sick this past weekend, but rallied enough to go with us. What am I saying- he had to go because Annette is out of town with the Wayne Show, and the cats weren't up to babysitting.















Connor and I went to see Mac King at Harrah's on a Friday afternoon a week or so ago, and had a great time. I had never seen Connor so excited- we had front row, aisle seats. Connor saw all the tricks close-up, and we were entertained. I was har-de-har-harring at all the juvenile innuendo in his act that was flying over Connor's head (Sir, did you just feel the first card jump into your pants pocket? No? How about the second card? Sir, did you just feel number two drop in your pants?) Mac King is a nice guy, and has a really pretty good show.

I made this last week in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of my high school, Yuma High in Yuma, Arizona. I am proud to be a Criminal! Let me know what you think of my story... I really enjoyed making it.

Connor sang in our Gospel Service last Sunday morning, and really did a great job with the old classic "It Is no Secret (What God Can Do)." Sure wish my dad was still here- he would have been so pleased, and so proud of Connor...

My nickname for Chloe is Babiness (Baby-ness). It's a combination of baby, happiness, and princess. She is all of those to me...

This is a good looking kid! My baby, Caleb, will turn two in January... where does the time go?

Here's a movie I made about our trip to Disneyland, and in particular, our breakfast with Minnie Mouse. Hope you like it!
