Cooking

For some reason, Owen really likes to help Cathy cook.  He especially likes to make pancakes.  It isn't always the cleanest operation but he has a good time.  Some pictures I snapped recently are below.  By the way, yes, his shirt is on backwards.

Owie's Blanket

Day #2 of my Spring Break... today I've got some pictures of Owen and his beloved blanket.  I'm not sure when he is going to be done with it or how we are going to take it away from  him, but he really does love his blanket.  As you can see, it might die before he is ready.



Ta Da!!!

Hammin' it up

Happy Spring Holiday

I know, I know... you're saying, "Holy Cow!"  There's a post at the Chateau!  Well, today starts day one of my Spring Holiday break and I thought I'd post a little and make up for the last few weeks.  Today we have some pictures of Owen and his K4 class.  Enjoy!

Feb. Stuff

Well, not only is this mildly interesting post my 200th of my blogging career, it is one that will help me reach my goal of posting more than once per month.  Anyway, on with the post.  As you may or may not know, Cathy and I will be taking a trip to Indonesia this summer to visit our friend Amy (Hi Amy!) and her soon to be husband Arif.  Soooo, that trip gave me an excuse to do something I had been wanting to do for a while, buy a new and nice DSLR camera.  I finally did and bought a new Canon EOS T2i.  The pictures below represent my first few shots with the new camera.  Enjoy.

My first shot... my office computer.

The newest addition to my office... two new newspapers.

Owen doing the same.

Blizzard of the Decade

The weathermen/people said that this was the biggest snowstorm in 10 years... I'm not sure I believed them and even though everyone canceled school the day before I wasn't sure we were going to get enough to justify a day off.  Normally, the weather people overestimate greatly the amount of snow.  That is nice, though, as it usually leads to a day or two off of school every year.  Even when I got up this morning it was done snowing and I wondered if that was a right call.  Well, there was a LOT of snow.  Even with a snow blower it took me 3 hours!  here are a couple pics from the day.

PS - I want to live where it's warm.

New Year's Eve

I rarely post pictures of myself for obvious reasons... like I'm usually taking the picture, etc...  Here is a nice one, though, from New Year's Eve at Wuf's house.

SUPER BOWL!!!!

So I'm sure my faithful fans are wondering what the world's most faithful Packer fan is thinking right now. I turned my phone off during the game to ignore all of my Detroit Lion fan friends texts... but it was a great to turn my phone on to the barrage of "We're going to the Super Bowl" texts.


I'll get to the game in a minute but these two weeks of hype in Milwaukee are wonderful.  The radio has been littered with talk of the 12 (soon to be 13) time World Champions.  This morning on the radio they were talking about whether or not you would take Aaron Rodgers or Big Ben if you had to start a new franchise.  Foolish commentators saying they would take Rothleisberger over Rodgers... morons.  On the way home tonight the host was asking whether or not the Packers made the right decision three years ago freezing Favre out in favor of Rodgers.  OF COURSE IT WAS.  Favre would have thrown 7 interceptions in the playoffs and we definitely would have lost.  I admit, I was wrong.  It has turned out to the be the right decision.  As one host says, the time to cut someone loose is often before we think.  My bad.


As for the game.  I think this hinges on two things.  Can Rodgers not turn the ball over or get killed by Polumalu and whether or not we can get some pressure on Big Ben and not allow him to shake 5 tackles and make a big play.  We can't get pressure and then let him loose, then we're in some big trouble.  I am 2 for 2 in predicting the Packers Super Bowl games in my lifetime.  I absolutely KNEW we would win Super Bowl 31 and I was nervous from the get go to play Denver in Super Bowl 32 and was right.  


Rob's Prediction: Packers 45 - Steelers 27.  Blow OUUUUTTTT!
