sunday was spent recovering.

monday, my actual birthday. joey was still a little sick so he stayed home from school we layed in bed most of the morning watching tv. about 4 we all left for downtown disney. i promised the kids that we could have my birthday dinner at the rain forest cafe. i thought if we went early enough we could have them save us a table for 10 at 6:30. i was surely mistaken. i got in line a 4:20 and by the time i got to the front i told host that i had a party of 10 and we would like a table at 6:30, he said unfortunetly i can't hold a table for you but if you want to eat at 6:30 you should come back at 6. i called all that were coming to tell them to be there by 6:30. will and christina backed out, will was too tired from the night before so it would just be 8 of us. Heather, the Kids, Kat, Shaun, my Mom and Me. we hung out at downtown disney for a bit and about 5:45 we walked back to the resturaunt. the line was HUGE, so i got in line. by the time i got to the front it was 6:15, no joke 30 minuted in line to ask for a table, it was the same guy that told me to come back at 6. thank God, i proceed to tell him that i am back but with a party of 8 instead of 10. he said, im sorry sir but its going to be 2 hours. i couldn't believe it i pleaded my case told him that he said to come back when i did to get a table for 6:30. he said if you have everyone in your party here right now i can sit you otherwise you are out of luck. and of course, i was out of luck. we went to a couple different places but everywhere at downtown disney was a minimum wait of 1.5 hours. we finally redirected everyone back to wood ranch after all the frustration we finally sat down and had a good dinner.

tuesday, vicky had a test so she went to school as the rest of us sleep in a bit and then start packing for vegas. this year, we are spending thanksgiving with heather's mom. heather's sisters family naomi, mike and their two kids were also coming out. after vicky took her test i went and picked her up as heather and the boys finished packing. we finally left about 12:45... traffic was HORRIBLE. we finally arrived around 7 and were exhuasted. (for my birthday my mom rented us a house in vegas so we had a place to bring the dog and a place to go back to so we weren't all so crowded at heather's moms) after we settled in cameron and i went searching for a food place. we found jack in the box. we all ate and went to bed.

wednesday, we slept in a bit laid around the house and then headed over to heather's mom. after visiting we all decided to go to excalibur to eat at the buffet. holly cow, buffet's are expensive when you have 5 people in your family. $89 for food that is somewhat ok and i know the kids will only eat one plate and then be full. oh well. joey actually loved the buffet which surprised the hell out of me. he must have went back 4 or 5 times!

thursday, thanksgiving! we went back to heather's moms about 11:45 where the house was already smelling of turkey goodness. while the girls cooked the kids, mike and i played soccer and with the dogs outside. we all finally sat down about 6 and had a fabulous dinner. we were all thankful that we were finally eating! after dinner and desert we all sat around talking, watching tv, napping. we finally said our goodbyes about 10 and went home.

friday, we got up did some last minute cleaning and then headed back to california. all in all it was pretty fun, very stressfull at times (traveling with three kids will do that to you).

saturday, just lounging around today with no plans. i took off monday as well so hopefully the next 2 days are relaxing with nothing to do. if the kids can calm down a bit we might take them to the movies.

happy birthday cam! hope you had a wonderful day, here are all the pics from the weekend

i am loving this random picture from my picture gallery i am seeing pics like the ones above that i haven't seen in years. for the past 2 days i just keep refreshing the home page of thecrippens.com to see what comes up next :)

tonight was fight not night and as you can see heather thoroughly enjoyed it!!

couple things i have changed:

 

• added a navigation bar to the top of each page
• the front page displays a random picture from ALL the galleries from the past 8 years, its pretty cool to go and hit refresh a couple of times. if you click the picture it will take you to a link of that entire gallery
• the 'thoughts' page is now a mash up of heather and i's blog. before it just took you to links back to this page and heathers. now you can read in unison by date. eventually when the kids start writing more i will add theirs as well.

 

check it out and let me know what you think, many more changes to come so check back often to see my progress.

 

• page is wider
• heading image
• added last 6 picture galleries with a random photo from each gallery to the right ---->

 

let me know what you think so far

this past weekend we saw tiesto for his elements of life tour. it was incredible! here are the pics, they didn't come out that well but oh well.

tiesto :: elements of life :: LA sports arena

we are back from hawaii! what an awesome trip we had, here are some of the pictures that were taken, i took over a 1,000 pics so its gonna take some time to get them all posted.

our vow renewal ceremony was absolutely beautiful. we couldn't have had a more perfect day or place. from the pictures above you can see how amazing it was. i will post all the pictures when i get them all downloaded.

today is my little wifey's 30th birthday. she seems to think she is old now but she is younger than ever. we have been married for almost 10 years and i can think back to when she was 18 when we first met... i can honestly say that i love her more each day that we spend together and i am loving every minute growing old with her.

happy birthday sweet little girl of mine. i hope you enjoy your day.

happy father's day to all the father's out there. to my father i miss you, more than anyone could ever understand. i hope you are looking out for us.

yesterday marked the end of the baseball season for the boys. for cameron now they gear up the playoffs. cameron's team was are the champs of double A. they begin their tournament next week to see if they can go all the way. cameron's team killed their opponents ending the game in the 5th inning. cameron played 3rd base stopping a ball and tagging a runner out and stopping him from scoring. it was an awesome game to watch.

joey played awesome as well. he got a hit everytime up and almost hit a homerun is last at bat. he made it all the way home where they tagged him out. it was very exciting. we took lots of pictures, you can check them out here. let me know what you think.

today the kids and i woke up at 7:45 to make heather breakfast in bed. at first we were going to make pancakes but then one of us (prolly me) decided french toast sounded WAY better. so we got the ingredients out and each of the kids cracked an egg and i started cooking. afterwards we wrapped her presents and headed up to wake her up. heather wasn't quite ready to wake up so we left her food beside her and her presents at the foot of the bed. 20 minutes later she finally woke up and opened up her presents. the kids and i got her some face cream that she really wanted, diddy kong racing for ds, yoshi for ds and a kermit the frog stay green shirt. afterwards heather and i took a little nap until 11.

after we finally woke up heather took a nice relaxing bath and then we all got ready to have brunch over at uncle pat's house. we arrived and had a great time swimming and bar-b-que'ing and being with the family. i can't believe i forgot my mom's present at home :( sorry mom, i will send your present now. hope everyone had a great day.

i think my family would starve if it weren't for peanut butter(with the exception of vicky who lives off top ramen). this has got to be the greatest food ever invented. you can put it on bread, crackers, celery, banana's, bagel's, raisin bread and our favorite tortilla's! peanut butter burritos are the best even better when you put them in the microwave for 10 seconds. just log enough to make the peanut butter start to melt.

off to make joey a burrito now

the following week, walking to a club i sprained my ankle walking out of my friends apartment. i still don't know why they would put a step there but when you are half buzzed you REALLY don't see it, lol, and really don't care until the next morning when you don't exactly remember what happened but know that you danced like a fool all night and now it feels like your ankle is broken.

the following week at work 6 of us decide that it would be great to get a 3 on 3 basketball game going at lunch at the nearest park. the first couple of days were great, it was great exercise and we were all having a great time when of course i try to catch a pass and i catch it with the front of my finger jamming the crap out of it. i have jammed my finger numerous times over the years but never has it swelled up so bad and turned purple. my body sure likes that color lately. and of course i can't bend it at all.

this week, somehow i tweaked my back out of whack. by the time i got home from work yesterday i was in so much pain i could barely move. of course by this time my body decides it needs to cough every 10 minutes. when i did this my whole body would seize up and shoot pains in every which direction. i finally had to take some vicodin to get to sleep in which knocked me out cold. so bad that when my alarm went off i turned it off instead of hitting snooze making myself super late to my 630am meeting.

i never thought i would say this but i think i am finally getting old. 31 years doesn't seem that old but it is! i think i am the most active i have been in 8 years and my body does not like it one bit and it has turned me into a clutz.

to copy a file that is 100mb vista calculates the time it will take and then shows me the speed which is usually 150kbps. 150kbps!!! i have a t-3 connection and its faster for me to upload a file to youtube then it is to upload a file to my server. how much sense does that make?

supposedly their is a hot fix, which i got. it obviously doesn't solve the problem. when you do a search in google a lot of people are experiencing the same problem but nobody has a solution. people say do this or that but none of it seems to work. so until microsoft can fix this, i will stay with my stable xp.

last night heather and i took cameron and joey to an angels game. vicky went to a game last week with her school so this was the boys turn. vicky spent the night with gramma.

the game was a lot of fun, we sat in my company's seats which are in the diamond club right behind home plate. you really get spoiled with these seats let me tell you. you can tell how close we are by the pictures, let me know what you think

according to computerworld readers, microsoft bob is the biggest tech flop of all time.

its pretty funny when it came out i thought it was exactly what my grandma needed to help her out with using her computer. it was supposed to have a fun and pratical user interface. it had a layout like your house where there was a desk with a calendar on it if you clicked the calendar your calendar program would open if you opened the drawer there was a calculator in which it would launch calc. the type writer opened your word processor and so forth.

according to wikipedia bill gates wife (Melinda French), before she was mrs. gates, lead the project but she left microsoft shortly afterwards.

Bob included various office suite programs such as a finance application, and a funny word processor. The user interface was designed to be helpful to novice computer users, but many saw its methods of assistance as too cute and involved. Each action, such as creating a new text document, featured the step-by-step tutorials no matter how many times the user had been through the process; some users considered this to be condescending. Users were assisted by cartoon characters whose appearance was usually vaguely related to the task.

last night after heather having such a terrible day i took her to game 3 of the lakers playoff vs phoenix, where the lakers were down 0-2. we had 6 row tickets at half court and as you can see by the pictures we were freaken close. the game was incredible after the first quarter i thought for sure they were done with but after kwami brown got hurt he came right back to score 4 quick dunks and then kobe just was on fire. it was a great game all the way thru. check out all the pictures here.

ferry corsten ruled last night... here are the pics i will write about it later.

Victory
A student was playing a handheld video game during a class.
The teacher called on the student and asked him what he was doing.
The student replied that he was trying to master the game.
The teacher said, "There exists a state in which you will not attempt to master the game, and the game will not attempt to master you."
The student asked, "What is this state?"
The teacher said, "Give me your video game, and I will show you."
The student gave him the game, and the teacher threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces. The student was enlightened.

this is the fist year cameron has played in competive baseball. every year before they have never kept score, the kids all got to play and they played every position. either the coach would pitch or they had a machine. anyways, this year is the first year of "real" baseball. the kids pitch to eachother and it is very competitive.

cameron's team is in first place and cameron has been playing well but the last few games he has struggled at the plate striking out not swinging at the pitches. that all changed last night, his first at bat he struck out but atleast he was swinging at good pitches. his second at bat he hit a pop fly over the first baseman's head and eventually scored. his last at bat came in the last inning where there were two outs and the tying runner on second base. cameron swung on and missed his first pitch. the second pitch he connected for a double driving in the tying score!

the next batter grounded out but the team was able to hold off and the game ended in a tie. cameron was super excited as was his team which i think boosted his confidence. very very exciting. the picture above is of cameron unfortunetly i didn't have my camera so this is a pic of a game from last year.

friday night we joined the cubscout pack at camp pendelton of all places, yes there is a camp site on the marine base. we got out pitched tent and then went for a hike. you can see all my random comments on my twitter account or on the right hand side of my blog under twitter. pretty funny stuff, lol. we had a good time.

i went to bed early so i could get up and come to work. we built a new room for a servers so we had to shut down everything and get them moved over. after about 8 hours of straight physical work (even with my finger messed up) finally everything was back up and running properly. now i have the task of getting all the wires situated so it doesn't look like a bunch of spagetti, lol

well back to work, check out the rest of the pictures.

i go to the same doctor as my kids so in a sense i am seeing a pediatrician. they scheduled me for their last appointment so i wouldn't freak out any of the kids with the amount of screaming and blood that was about to come out of me.

first they wiped it down with iodine and alcohol then sprayed something on it that was "supposed" to numb the area, all it did was make it cold. then he took my finger and proceeded to stick a hole in it 20 different times where the infection was. that hurt but was ok. then he squeezed my finger has hard as he could like it was some pimple. the nurse was freaking out... i guess its not everyday the pediatrician gets to perform surgery, lol. well the swelling is gone but i am in much worse pain. it has taken me 20 minutes to type this because i can't use my middle finger at all.

oh well now i get to go camping with the cubscouts at camp pendelton. this prescription of codeine should come in handy.

Sometimes blood collects under the nail -- what we call a subungual hematoma. When handled properly, this does not increase or decrease the odds of the nail healing well. If enough blood is trapped to cause painful throbbing, the nail should be evaluated.

Often the physician will pierce the nail to relieve the pressure. The physician might use a red-hot paper clip, an 18-gauge needle, or an electrocautery machine. While the procedure sounds gruesome (and looks dramatic when the blood starts to spurt from the hole), most children feel great relief and no discomfort. The hot tool glides through the nail like butter.

update: well i went to the doc yesterday. he didn't relieve any pressure and now its swollen even more and hurting just as bad. what he did do was give me antibotics which has a side effect of DEATH. yes thats right death. wonderful, well atleast my life insurance is paid up.

no i didn't paint my finger nail black. last night i was getting out a pan to hard boil the eggs and somehow all the pans decided fall on my middle finger. at first it was just a little blue but hurt like hell. well 24 hours later it still hurts but my entire nail is filled with blood and throbbing. you have no idea how many times you need to use your middle finger to type. ouch, ouch, OUCH. i think i broke something, im probably going to loose my nail. this just sux bad. going to try to go to the doc tomorrow where he will most likely want to drain the blood from underneath my nail, now that sounds like fun doesn't it?

these pics are from easter morning, next year we need to let joey start vicky and cameron always find the obvious ones leaving joey to find the more difficult ones. here are the rest of the pictures

here are the pictures of the kids coloring their easter eggs

gramma's 80th birthday

ok, i think now i am fully recovered. finally, it only took 5 days, haha. anyways here are the pictures from the trip, hope you enjoy:

winter music conference 2007, south beach miami

today is the first day that i actually feel human again. we just got back from the winter music conference where we partied non-stop for 5 days straight. im not kidding you, the clubs go until 5am every morning. here are some of the pictures, a lot more to come. we had a blast but i think i am getting a little too old. we saw all my favorite djs, my favorite being saturday night where we saw tiesto at mansion.

when we were at target joey used some of his christmas money, yes he has saved it for this long, to buy some toys for himself. one of the things was the mini hoops bball game another was this really cool play-dough setup. he came into the room all excited, "check this out", he said. it was pretty cool, then he turned on the light, awesome!!

here are the rest of the pics i took

dad, lol, but just barely. joey and cameron give some stiff competition, just a little more practice and maybe just maybe their dreams will be realized and they will beat me... haha, in their dreams sucka!

today has been a pretty relaxing day. heather and vicky took the dog to her last obedience class where she scored a whopping 76 out of 200, lol. when they got home we all went out to carls jr. for lunch and then went to target to get some poster board for a project vicky needs to do. then we headed to borders to look for a sims guide, yes thats right a SIMS guide. no luck but i did pick a book, mcnally's bluff, a series i have been reading off and on for the past 10 years. after borders we went to fry's where heather found the washer and dryer that we HAVE to have (which by the way are $1300) and then to petco to get some crickets and dog food for the bearded dragon and dog.

we are now home, all laying on the couch. i have read about 50 pages of my book so far, heather of course is playing sims as you can see from the pictures above and the kids are playing on their computer.

heather and vicky are getting ready to go to their basketball end of the year party at zito's pizza, which by the way has the worst pizza EVER. while they are gone i think i am going to take a nap, lol.

here are some other pics from just right now.

here are the of the pictures, enjoy

Simlish is a fictional language featured in Maxis' Sim series of games. It debuted in SimCopter, and has been especially prominent in The Sims and The Sims 2. Simlish can also be heard in SimCity 4, albeit far less frequently. It also featured to an extent in the Firaxis game Sid Meier's SimGolf. Designer Will Wright was conscious of the need for dialogue in the game, but thought that using a real language would make it sound too repetitive.

top 10 lunar eclipse facts

some more info about lunar eclipse's via wikipedia

full moon names for 2007 last night was the Full Worm Moon

It's the Romans' fault. Our modern calendar is loosely based on their old, confusing one. Though records on the Roman calendar are sparse and sketchy, legend has it that Romulus, the first king of Rome, devised a 10-month lunar calendar that began at the spring equinox in March and ended with December. It is unclear whether there were any official months between December and March, but it's likely they were left off because the wintertime wasn't important for the harvest.

after some further searching, i found that they have an RSS feed of the latest earthquakes from around the world. me being the geek that i am did a little programming and now as you can see to the right are the last 8 quakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater. pretty cool, huh?

i am the luckiest person in the world. just look at how beautiful my wife is... i can't believe that my life is as great as it is. thank you god. thank you heather, i love you so much!

happy valentines day! i am super tired still, more so then yesterday how that is possible i will never know. just wanted to leave a little note to my valentine, i love you very much!

Bananas. They're practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.

heather is asleep, her back is hurting. i have been fighting with the kids nonstop, my head is hurting(nothing a couple of beers won't cure :]). i don't know what their problem is but they will not leave me alone, not even to go to the bathroom... i'll show them, lol. just wait.

i think i am going to watch elf now. it has been on tbs all week but i keep catching the end of it. its one of my favorites. tomorrow we have to pick up the dog and i think i am going to put up the christmas lights. or i may just lay on the couch all day, i'll let you know tomorrow.

we are now back at the cabin watching numb3rs. i am editing all the pictures, cameron and joey are doing magic tricks with a deck of cards, heather is playing nintendo ds (which she has been doing the entire trip, i have lost her... again) and vicky just got back from gramma's cabin. we have the fire going strong, enjoying our last day in the mountains. not looking forward to tomorrow packing and cleaning. back to reality.

thank you mom for a wonderful trip. its been a fabulous week with lots of great memories.

happy birthday katrina, you are getting OLD!! hope you have a great day

happy thanksgiving everyone! i just got done stuffing my face and i can barely move now. we had all the favorites: mashed potatoes, green beans, fruit salad (yummy yummy), some very scary looking candied yams, ham, bread, butter and of course smoked turkey. next up pie, pie and more pie!

i am thankful for many many things... one, my wife and i have a very strong and successful relationship. we are very connected and i love that. things have never been better between us and everyday it gets better, she is the woman of my dreams. i am thankful for my three wonderful children. that they are very healthy and strong. that they are doing very well in school. i am thankful for my mother and how she keeps us all together, i love you very much mom. i am thankful that things are just going so well right now. i pray that god looks over us and keeps us strong.

well i guess i should go see if there is anything i need to do, like purge myself to get ready for pie. happy thanksgiving everyone, i hope that your day is as great as ours.

today we woke up late got ready and finally headed out to go fishing about 11:30. we must have tangled our lines about 20 times, we scott spent more time untangeling the lines then we scott actually did fishing. none of us weren't patient enough to keep the lines in the water and after 2 hours finally gave up not catching one fish. oh well, it was an experience to say the least.

afterwards we went to the grocery store to buy food for a bbq. chicken, steak, corn, potatoes, salad and some hot dogs. dinner was great, the hot dogs were the best! i am such a great chef. mom made margarita's and pina colada's. afterwards we made cookies and played the new yatzee game where katrina won, heather won but joey was the biggest winner winning three times! cameron, trevor and vicky all slept at gramma's cabin. i slept with joey in his room. when we woke up he said dad they're all liars you don't snore! maybe its a conspiracy.

again we woke up to a cabin full of kids. i snore to much so i have to sleep on the couch :( its so damn hot because the heater is in the living room and my mouth dries out to the point where i can't barely swallow. poor me.

we went shopping today and got old time pictures taken. we did this the last time we were all in big bear together about 6 years ago. we must have been in the "studio" for 3 hours where i had to hear every story our photographer had about clint eastwood and the series bonaza. i think we were the only customer this guy has seen in a long time. it wasn't easy to get 10 people all in costume and for everybody to keep their eyes open. i was the problem twice! bummer. oh well, finally finished. afterwards we went to k-mart to buy fishing poles so scott, the kids and i could all go fishing early in the morning.

today is my 31st birthday, we just arrived in big bear where we will be staying for a week with my family, my sister's family and my mom. didn't really do anything exciting today except drive up the mountain, stop to let heather puke her brains out and eat lunch at burger king, mmmm.

took some cold medicine about 4 the next thing i knew it was 10 o'clock and very very very cold outside.

my favorite toys must have been transformers, you know: transformers, more than meets the eye. transformers, robots in disguise. haha... its weird because my kids are about this age and they aren't into anything like that. they listen to their ipods, play on their computers but none of them sit down and play with action figures or transformers or even lego's. when i try to get them to they get bored with them so easily. it seems like kids now are growing up way faster than i did and it really sucks because thinking back now those were some of the best times ever.

hahaha, k-fed used to live by us in yorba linda, lol. (via thesuperficial)

Jumping just before the elevator hits the bottom is not a viable alternative. Just do the math; if the lift is falling at 100mph, (figures are not accurate example of speeds of falling lifts) and you were to jump up, at the exact right moment at a velocity of 5mph, your total downward velocity is 95mph!

Discontinued in the 2001 in favor of the Big N' Tasty.

Chili cheeseburger: the standard McDonald's cheeseburger, but with a no-bean chili sauce in place of mustard or ketchup. (2002) Test marketed in southern California.

McDonald's has also attempted pizza at various times, with an apple-pie-like McPizza and more conventional McDonald's Pizza.

i think they need to bring back the hula burger!! here is the whole list.

awesome! purely awesome!

since they were already there heather let him play until i got there, in which i took him home. he swears that he was only gone for 5 minutes in either case he shouldn't have walked outside of the gate for 1 second. now i feel like a horrible person, was the punishment to much? i hate second guessing myself. hopefully he learns to never do this again.
