Asleep w/ERB passie

Garage Party

Went to our friends house last weekend for a BBQ. Took a few snaps on the celly while we were there.

Here is Smalz holding ERB. Her Passie matches her outfit.

This is the Rivers' dog Teegan. He is a 185 pound Great Dane. This is the largest dog I have ever seen and he is totally awesome.

ERB News

Have not been updating ya'll on ERB news lately so here is some of the latest:

ERB is now taking swimming lessons at the Y. See above proof. Thursday was our first class. We learned nothing other than ERB did not scream during her first visit to the pool.

Here is ERB drying off poolside after class. Quite a workout.

No, ERB is not piloting a flight simulator, she is simply sitting naked in her height chair.

Here you can see that she is working on crawling.
That is all the news for now.

*Tigers head to the durty south this weekend to play the Braves. My immediate family has been waiting for this for quite some time due to the fact that my Aunt Rosey is a HUGE Braves fan. She always has something to say about how great they are. Well, we'll see about that, we shall see...

Bigs on TV

Last night, Smalz and I watched some Katt Williams stand up, which was hilarious. Right after it ended, I flipped on the Tigers game. Coming out of commerical, I believe before the 7th inning, they were showing some Tiger fans in the crowd. And lookey who they chose to put on TV. BIG'EMs and KATE. After seeing this, I immediately called Bigs and told him that he was on television. He did not believe me until I sent him this picture. Absolutely hilarious.

PS-I saved this in my DVR and will try to post a video of the entire thing later. I think I heard Rod say that Matt was a "slob" but maybe I heard it wrong.

Happy Belated Fathers Day

Happy belated Fathers Day to all ya'lls daddys out there. Celebrate with a pic of ERB taken by Ray (my dad). Enjoy.

Gambler in GR

Tigers Playoff legend Kenny "The Gambler" Rogers was in GR for a rehab start with the Whitecaps last night. It was billed as the biggest night in Whitecaps history. There was over 10k fans on hand to check this shizzle out. Kenny pitched pretty well, the defense was extra sucky behind him as the Caps' lost 10-0 to make it seven straight losses. No good for a team that won the MWL Championship last year. We had some excellent seats though. Peep these pix I took...

Here is Kenny standing

Here is Kenny throwing

Nice pic of Kenny on the mound at Fifth Third Ballpark

There is more on the game HERE

Wow!

-In case you live in a cave, history was made last night in downtown Detroit. Justin Verlander threw a no hitter.

-I found myself glued to the couch, afraid to get up to go to the bathroom due to old baseball superstitions. I also only flipped to Comedy Central during the commercials. That seemed to work for me.

-The first time I have ever sat and watched a pitcher throw a no-no.

-That guy is sick! And he is ONLY 24!!

-12 k's (career high)

-edit: Bigs, Storch and Grems, yes GREMS were all at the game last night.

-There has not been a no-no in Detroit since 52' (Virgil Trucks) Actually had 2 that year.

-The last one in Tiger history was 84' (Jack Morris).

-Smalz and I are going to see Kenny Rogers pitch a rehab start for the Whitecaps on Friday night. Stadium is SOLD OUT. We are sitting 3rd row next to the dug-out (Damn Brick, those are some nasty seats!!). I will provide pictures of said event this weekend.

ERB news:

-Smalz and ERB are visiting Nanny Kathy and Unkie Derek. He is off to Japan for a few years to defend our freedom.

-House is quiet without Emmy. I miss her (and mommy too...)

-Above is a cell phone pic from last week.

Other news:

-Softball game tonite.

-New car ordered and due to be here next month. That is fast.

-The movie "The Fountain" is pretentious and not that good.

-Grapefruit is good.

Semper Fi - Do or Die

ERB says "It is too hot"

ERB is wearing her camoflauge that (Lance Corporal) Unkie Derek (US Maries) got her. He is leaving for Okinawa on Wednesday then being deployed from there. We love you Derek and be safe.

One shoe, passie

ERB says: "Too bad Pistons....Go Tigers!!!!"

Witness????????????

Check out the expression on ERB's face. Even she is amazed that LeBron was able to dunk or get to the cup for a layup AT WILL last night! I'll be watching on Saturday night, but I don't have much confidence in our squad after what LeBron did last night. 29 out of the Cavs last 30 points!!! Holy crap, Jordan never did anything like that.

PS-Tigers can't beat Cleveland either. 4 straight losses to Tribe, 4 straight losses to Cavs. Cleveland OWNS us right now. HOPEFULLY we can turn that shizzle around this weekend.

Brick drops to knees and begins praying...

Pistons Rant

-Pistons bib did not bring us any luck last night.
-Chauncey SHOULD NOT have taken that 3 pt. shot late in the game.
-Dyess is the ony one out there who looks like he wants to win.
-C-Webb can't hit a shot.
-Turnovers are costing the Pistons.
-Billups had 2 assists and 4 TO's last night. That won't get it done.
-I am on track for my Pistons in 6 prediction.
-I'm ok if LeBron beats us, I'm not ok if Gibson and Gooden beat us.
-It is now a 3 game series, and we have home court.
-I'm not scared. I'm frustrated.
-Tigers put on a clinic last night in Tampa.
-Whenever Tayshaun takes it to the cup, good things happen. MORE OF THAT FLIP!!
-They always play well in the third, never the fourth.
-I'm going to have to go to my lucky red headband to get this done.
-Everytime LeBron takes a fade away shot, it goes in. EVERY TIME!!
-Linda said that she likes the Pistons, not the Cavs. She especially hates: LeBron, Gooden, Varijoke, Gibson, Hughes, Marshall, Z, Mike Brown and everyone else associated with the Cavs.
-To me, it is the ultimate sign of respect to have "Beat Detroit" shirts. Back in the day, I remember the "Beat L.A." shirts.
-Cavs fans suck. Prolly a bunch of Buckeye fans.
-I would like to have Leyland talk to the boys before Thursdays game. I bet he could get them to play for ALL FOUR QUARTERS!! NOT TWO, OR THREE!! ALL FOUR!!
-Someone needs to stomp a mudhole in Gibson's behind. Lil' punk.
-I'm done ranting. Now yer turn. Tell me what chu' think....


-Bonus pic of ERB in funny hat.
-Yer welcome.
