A Short Story

By Kemper 

Soccer Snugglies!

"Martha Speaks" eats breakfast

While eating Cheerios this morning, the Pizz states "if these letters go to your brain, you would say 'ooooooooo oooooooooo!'"

Wonderful use of kiddie lit to make a funny. I giggle uncontrollably. She's more like me everyday!

(Not to mention that I blasted Katy Parry radio this am to wake them up. First song up "Roar!")

BFF!

Found this in Kemper's school folder yesterday...

Super cute!

(Although if they're going to be BFFs, maybe Hadley should learn how to spell the Pizz' name!)

A Little Pizzle Guilt Trip

(Found this post lost in the archives of my phone... It was supposed to have been published in April of this year)

All I did was drop her off at school for a normal day.

If I didn't realize that I was in trouble before...

Weekend Update!

We watched some Twizzle soccer...

Then went to St Mary's Fall Festival

Then had a birthday party (Pizz is the black blur)

Then we were done!

BabyYarnoz Reboot. Episode 6- Return of the Yarni!

We're back!

So, the other day I had an epiphany.  Why wasn't I blogging anymore?  The BY Universe had shrunk down to my iPhone and nothing more.  No more witty Editor musings or DQ ravings or Pizz cuteness or Twizz shenanigans...

Poof!

I am not sure of all the reasons why my blogging disappeared.  Mostly too lazy on my part.  No time.  Internet snafu!  blah blah blah.  I lost my way as the Editor.  I wasn't sure what this was or what it was becoming.  It was a way to tell of all the crazy things that Charmaine and I were going through and life changes.  Sort of an online journal... for all the web to read.  (But really only the family that cared...)  Then Charmaine started publishing the blog, making a sort of yearbook of our lives... It was crazy.  Maybe too much pressure to be witty or cute or fun.

Then I drifted away... and went to Facebook... where everything is witty and cute and fun....  Too many selfies, not enough real life craziness.  Then I started taking selfies with the kizzles...

Then I realized that we're not perfect.  We far from it.  We have amazingly hectic lives, that requires 6 simultaneous iCal's to sync, and even then stuff falls down (especially when my "work" iCal doesny sync with CALs phone... whew!)  We have stressful jobs, filled with life/death and PressGaney surveys!  (Dammit if Im not TOP BOX!!!).  We have a 15yo lab that is going blind, deaf and has incontinence of the #2 variety... (better be careful walking the halls at night in the GM).  We have three amazing little humans that live down the hall that we don't want to F-up.  We shop weekly at SAMs.  The Kizzles know the term "Daddy's juice" and "Mommy's juice".  There are guns, terror, Time Warner Cable and FoxNews!

So, that leads me back to this blog and what I now realize that it is.  It is a way for me to look back on this amazing ride of life.  It allows me to use what little shred of humor found in my pinkie toe to poke fun at myself or my wife (sorry babe) or the Kizzles.  It lets all of you see that I am not perfect (shocking spoiler alert... sorry), except the stuff that I edit out (muh ha ha ha!!!)  It allows me to remember all the crazy stuff that has happened to me.

For that reason, it will never go away!

(cue the Star Wars intro theme... and on to the cuteness!)
