Ya down with ODP?

What is ODP?



No, thats OPP!

ODP is The Olympic Development Program (ODP). It is a national program that is "designed to identify and develop talented, committed youth soccer players to represent their state, region and country in soccer competitions. It is also intended to aid in the preparing and showcasing of the players as student/athletes for exposure into collegiate soccer programs."

Logan tried out for the program this year and after 12 hours of tryouts spread out over a month....he made the team! Good Job Buddy!

Protect Ya Tings!

I know people don't love to check out other peoples cruise / vacation photos. But since Nick requested to see them...here they are! Marcie and I took a cruise for our 13th Anniversary. We boarded the "Majesty of the Seas" (Royal Caribbean) in Miami, went to Nassau Bahamas, Coco Cay, Key West and back to Miami. It was a great trip!

This use to be one of my favorite pictures I had ever taken, if you remember,Mike and I spotted this little juxtaposition in New Mexico on our way to Texas...

I now have a new favorite. I snapped this pic out the window of our tour van on Nassau.



OK, OK back to the cruise. This is me getting ready for everyone's favorite: the muster drill. I guess so i dont end up like Jack Dawson in Titanic

After the McCain Palin bid for the White House was thwarted by the evil left,we wont be having a female as vice president this election cycle....





However, Sunset Jr. High will have a female vice president this year. After preliminary votes, speeches, posters and portfolios Brianna was elected as the 7th grade Vice President for the 2008-2009 school year!! Congratulations B!!!
