Quotables-Main

Let’s face it: Quotables is the primary reason anyone beyond my Mom and I visit Vintonville… and that’s fine– my feelings will be OK. Here’s your bite-sized, one-stop-shop for all Quotables posts from here to the dawn of V-ville.

How Do I Get Fit

It’s no secret I’m a fan of P90X and Insanity to the point I publicly lost my shirt, took a picture and became a Beachbody Coach. How Do I Get Fit supports all that stuff. You can check HDIGF and all its nutritional/workout tips by clicking above.

Quotables: Little Dude and The Friend of Harry Potter

Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton.
So here’s a top-to-bottom high five for Little Dude’s Kindergarten teacher who–I think– while we work on manners at home, is also reenforcing them at school. I say that only because the other night, after Little Dude …

So, You Wanna Be A Tough Guy, Huh?

I don’t know if you heard, but we went to Moab recently. After a detour that never should have happened, we decided to make the best of it and hit up a pretty cool place that I can’t remember the name of now. Needless to say, it had lots of cliffs and sheer drops and …

BackPack Joy Lasts About As Long As It Took To Take This Picture

The previous post gave away the huge-mongous spoiler we went to Moab, so now that the cat’s out of the bag, here comes the photographic deluge. I don’t know that it was ever a real secret but when you operate all clandestinely because of fame and notoriety, you need some time to gather your thoughts …

We Went To Moab. One of Us Ran.

“There is a sick high in pushing your body beyond what you “think” you can!!!”
— Lady-Friend, 2011
So you know my [insert gushing/fawning adjective here] Lady-Friend likes to run. Not a “Hey, I enjoy a leisurely jog around the block” kind of run– I’m talking “Wow, this shearing pain up my leg feels terrible but …

“The Look”

I was trying to catch some moments of Little Sis’ cute “shower personality” when she got tired of it. I’m in a world of hurt when this little lady grows up if she’s already flashing me deadly looks of “Really, Mama?”

Could you find a more gorgeous view? Not in my humble opinion.

1 going on 16

At 16 years old my ear was either connected to a headset, a phone or a pillow. My broke-as-a-joke-thanks-to-crushing-long-distance-bills parents would tell you it was mostly the phone… you know, back when they had all the wires. I’d stretch that cord from one side of the house to another in search of privacy and a …

Quotables: Little Dude and The Leg Guns

Unfortunately for our kids, Vintonville is kind of slim on the sweet treats and desserts. And while that’s good for Mama and Papa’s physique, it’s not good for the sweet tooth. Still, Lady-Friend and I usually whip up a few treats for the kids and enjoy a protein shake/bars for our “treat”. When …

A Monday Afternoon

Here’s a couple snaps Lady-Friend caught during some playtime this afternoon. Sis is looking old.

Nutella’s GOOD

Not that I’d know anything about it considering I’m enjoying a diet of straight tastelessness.
But Little Sis… Little Sis knows EVERYTHING about it.

And, unfortunately, we now know EVERYTHING about trying to take it away…

…Yaaaaaay Nutella!
