Xmas at the (elder) Myers'

As usual we enjoyed Xmas day in Plymouth. Next year it will be at the Rankin's house in Brighton. Can't wait.


Kathy and Brick drink.


A pregnant Kelly Hershberger and Kate looking lovely.


Ray relaxes after making some wicked beef and drinking (a lot).


Grandma Lynn and ERB enjoying themselves.

Today I recovered by watching Mr./Mrs. Myers, Auntie Gina and Grandma Linda shop. While we were out I ate a "Yeros" (sic) sandwich and wicked-good Greek salad at the Detroit-area-favorite, Kerby's Koney Island (Haggerty and 8-Mile location).

Ray stayed home and played with ERB:

Christmas In Hollis

The Myers are in Saline. No pix, just this video. Enjoy yer Christmas.

Xmas w/The Myers

ERB showed up

Smalz got cleaning products

Crooked tree or crooked house?

Sunday Evening

Here is video.

Misc.

ERB in the bath.

Los boof.

Santa

Last Saturday, Smalz, ERB and Brix went to see santa. ERB does not like him. She yelled the entire time she was on his lap. However, this years santa is way better than last years.

We also saw this Yeti.

Ouch

Not forced

Which way?

ERB is directionally challenged.

Look at this Line Up

By my count, the Tigers line up could possibly have 8, count em', 8 all stars! This does not include the pitching staff. Take a look at my breakdown:

CF-Granderson-Was hosed over for the gold glove last season. Went 20/20/20/20 for the 3rd time in history. He WILL be an all-star this year.
2B-Poloanco-Has not made an error since 2005. Was ALCS MVP in 06' and usually hits around .340. Was all star in 07.
DH-Sheffield-One of the scariest hitters in beisbol. He has been an all star several times, and if he would have been healthy last year, he would have been an all star and possibly an MVP candidate.
RF-Magglio-He was an all star last year and only hit .362 and won the batting crown. Also named Tiger of the year.
3B-Cabrerra-Only 24 years old. Been in the league for 4 years, and been an all star 4 times. He hit .340 last year w/35 HRs. This guy is next to A-Rod as one of the best hitters in the game. Holy shit!!
1B-Guillen-Dangerous switch hitter making the move to first this coming season. Been an all star 2 times. Usually hits around .320 with some nice power to go with. Hang on....theres more...
SS-Renteria-Picked him up for a bag of balls from Bravos. He has been an all star in the past and usually hits around .320 and is solid with the glove.
C-Pudge-I am glad that the Tigs decided to keep him. He is a perennial gold glover and an million time all star. Not that great at the plate anymore, but still has nice production.
RF-Jones/Thames-These guys are not all stars. But who cares. Look at the rest of this line up. Holy shit!!

-It is safe to say that Inge will most likely be traded soon for some prospects. I will miss him and his nasty glove at the hot corner, however, I will not miss his gazillion strike outs.
-Goodbye Maybin and Miller. We hardly knew you, but jeez, look at this line up. I am fine with the trade. Cabrerra and Willis are 24 and 25 respectfully. We gave up unproven young talent for proven young talent. Seems like a win-win.
-I count 8 all stars in this line up. With a line up like this, I am not scared of the Yanks, Sawx, Rockies, Cards, Mets, Twins, Nats, Chisox, Phillies, Braves, Rangers, Angels, M's, A's, Rays, Jays, Cubs, O's, Dodgers, Royals, Tribe, Astros, Giants, Marlins (w/Maybin n' Miller), Reds, Pirates or any other team else who thinks that they can play with us. Beisbol season can't start soon enough. Bye the way, Pistons are rolling right now. Stay tuned...

ERB's birfday balloon. It is a Mexican flag mouse/bunny thing.

This is one of the many large lizards we saw on the golf course. I call this one Raul.

-I think I can speak for Smalz, ERB, Phiul and Gina when I say thank you to R&L again for such a fantastic vacation. We all love you very much! Have fun in Cali/Vegas.

Vamanos from Mexico

Happy birthday to ERB. And farewell Mexico. We barely knew thee.

Here is ERB's birthday cake provided by the muy bueno people from the Moon Palace (Nizuc)

ERB revolutionized the way birthday cake should be eaten in an attempt to keep her hands clean.

The next day she was swimming off the calories with Brick. She also fell asleep in the water. Muy bueno!

Happy Birfday ERB!!

-Today is ERBs birfday!! Happy Birfday!!

-The Myers' are still south of the border. Will post pix/vids upon return. Enjoy yer turki on Thursdwizzle.

-Please Lions, win on Thursday. This is the last time I will ask.

ERB in Mexico - still pissed about the OSU/Mich game

Nothing (beautiful weather, plethora of food/drink) stopped ERB from being pissed about the Bucks/Wolvs game today. I'm actually posting this as I'm about to puke from it. Buckeyes (players, fans, nuts) everywhere can eat it as far as I'm (Uncle Phil) concerned. More when the Bears/Lions/Patriots win tomorrow...

ERB rules

Following a work-related retreat in beautiful Douglas, MI, I had the pleasure of stopping by casa de ERB. It was a short visit that yielded just a few photos. Here's a highlight:

More details:

1. ERB is way cuter in real life than she is in photos. I was shocked.

2. She walks around all the time.

3. She likes to lick the oven door.

1st Birfday Party - Video 2

Here is ERB mashing cake into her face. Enjoy!

1st Birfday Party - Video 1

Not the greatest video, but the look ERB gives the camera is priceless.

1st Birfday Party!

Saturday the Myers' n' friends celebrated ERB's 1st birfday. Below is some of the action...

Here is ERB bodyslamming one of her gifts.

Here she is opening one. She needed help to get them open.

So Linda helped open gifts and read cards to her.

Here is the cake.

A birds eye view of ERB eating her cake.

Here she is enjoying some cake.

Here is Ben n' Dacki.

ERB has asked me to thank everyone again for the wonderful gifts and coming all the way over to G'ville. She knows that gas prices are high right now, and that it can cost quite a bit to make the trip. So thanks again!

A lot of my pix did not come out so hot, so if you were present and have anything worth posting, please email them to me or Smalz. I have a few short videos that I will post a bit later.

Bo!

Here is a vury short vid of ERB petting President Lincoln. Then she says that his name is "Bo".

By Request:

Ray wanted some new pix. Here is what I have:
Above: ERB, Smalz' ankle and part of our HP Deskjet 882C printer
Below: President Lincoln at rest

Walking, Then the dog comes in

Celebrate ANOTHER Lions victory with this video!!!

Halloween Pix

Here is Smalz n' ERB.

Leaves taste good...

There was rainbow in the sky too.

Happy Halloween!

Here is another pic that Smalz sent to me. Again, not the best shot, but we love and appreciate Smalz' efforts. Here is ERB in one of her Halloween outfits. I hope to post a full costume picture either tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned....

Hooray!

-Here is a pic that Smalz texted to me. Not a great pic, but it shows her ability to send a text message. Impressive. Impressive indeed.
-Due to me being in Reading, I will not have a lot of ERB stuff this week. Smalz is supposed to send me a pic of ERB in her Halloween costume, which I will proptly post. Stay tuned for that.

Non ERB/Awesome Lions Stuff
-I am currently in Reading PA having a bad time.
-Yesterday, on my way from the Philly airport to my hotel in Reading, I decided to stop at Winners Circle Sports Grille in Exton PA take in the Lions game.
-The place was filled with Steelers and Eagles fans. I was the lone Leos fan. Saw a few Bears fans with frowns on their faces. Hahahaha!! I hope it hurts Bears fans. You don't know suffering like we do.
-Anyway, after beating the Bears 16-7 (on the road no less) the Lions are 5-2. Wait, is that right? 5-2? Yes it is right. Our Kitties are now 1/2 game back of the Pack for the division lead. Lets go Broncos!!
-Did you know?- The Lions, Pats and Colts are the only teams in the league to be undefeated in their conferences. As Mel Allen would say......How about that?
-Also, if you have not, head over to The Wayne Fontes Experience for some fantasticly hilarious Lions commentary. Link is on the right.

Brick...alone

Sad day in Brickville. Smalz n' ERB went to the D for some sort of yenta party at Fattersons on Saturday. Me? I'm off to beautiful Reading PA on Sunday. Won't see ERB or Smalz until one week from today. Sad. Can't wait til' next Friday.

Official Lions prediction:
Lions 23
Bears 21
Miracously, the Kitties win a squeaker on the road. Or maybe they will get smoked by 24 points.

ERB, Barry, Deadly Discs

In celebration of another Lions win. Bring on the Bears!!

Have you seen the bridge?

WHERE'S THAT CONFOUNDED BRIDGE??

Deerhunter(s)

Grandpa Skip stopped by on Sunday to see ERB and eat Chinese food. He spent his weekend killing Bambi's dad.

ERB was not happy to see him. Also, notice the deer blood on Skip's sleeve.

Lots of camoflauge on these two.

Huh?

What was that?

Towel 1010

-Here is ERB in a towel after having a bath. Pretty exciting stuff.

-I don't know why, but I enjoy this pic of ERB.

Non ERB section below

-I've changed up some of the links to the right. Look there if interested.
-Today the new Radiohead album came out.

-It is very very fine. Especially track 7.

-I hope yer having a fine Wednesday. Rainy here.
