More vacaction pics

2010-03-30T19:38:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we had more rain in the morning. We slept in a while, then went to T-Rex cafe for lunch, then played mini golf at one of Disneys mini golf courses.

T-Rex cafe:

Mini Golf:

Today we drove to the Tampa/Clearwater area and went to a state park beach. We had a good time. Started off on a sand beach. Lexi and I made a sand castle, and Lexi and Monica looked around for shells.

Then we drove to a different part of the island where there was less sand and A LOT more shells. We did some serious shell collecting here. Lexi wanted to keep them all.

We found several conchs that still had critters living inside, so we threw those back.

We also found several sponges, a jellyfish, and a sea urchin.

Tomorrow is going to be warmer and we plan to spend the day at the two pools at the resort. They have an awesome kids water area that Lexi is excited to try out.

Day one

2010-03-28T19:09:00.001-07:00

So for day one (I don't count the travel day) of vacation, we didn't have great weather (storms coming through mid-day) so after a morning snack on the balcony watching animals on the savannah, and then having a late breakfast and playing at the playground, we decided to spend the afternoon riding the monorail to some of the different fancy resorts to check them out, find a place to eat, do some shopping, and find pressed penny machines. We had a good time. Here are some shots.

Childrens Museum adventure

2010-01-07T21:04:00.001-08:00

So Lexi had a class at the Children's Museum scheduled for today. There was a snow storm hitting while we were driving in, but she was excited about her class so we didn't want to miss it.

We left extra early, but not quite as extra early as we wanted. Roads weren't great. When we got to Indy, traffic on the interstate came to a halt. Didn't look like we'd make it in time. So we made our way accross a few lanes of stopped traffic and got off at an exit and started working our way on snow clogged city streets.

Got there just in time. Lexi had a great time at her class. Her first class where she got to go in all by herself without mom or dad. She did great!

Afterwords we did the usual museum stuff. It was very odd though, since the snow had kept everyone away so the normally very loud and busy museum was quiet, calm, and empty. It was like we'd broken in after hours and had the place to ourselves, except that all the employees were there.

Here are some pics:

Santa and Party

2009-12-13T11:59:00.001-08:00

First off, we tried to go see Santa at the Childrens Museum. Lexi was all excited, but after waiting in line for a half hour Lexi freaked out when it was her turn. She cried and refused to go near Santa. We tried again later, after she assured us she wanted to see him. She did the same thing. We did manage to get a picture of Hunter with Santa that time though.

We also had Lexi's 3rd birthday party yesterday. She had a great time. Here is a pic of her cooking snakes on her new grill which is part of a whole kitchen set she got.

Oh Christmas Tree!

2009-11-30T18:11:00.000-08:00

Got our tree yesterday. Didn't search too long in the field since Hunter was out there (super bundled up even though it was 50 degrees). Lexi commented that this was "The best tree ever!". Not true of course, because the best trees ever came from Pagac's Christmas Tree Farm, but we'll give her a pass since she never got the pleasure of seeing those beautiful trees.

It's that time of year

2009-10-29T19:35:00.001-07:00

Lexi is helping out with the leaf removal this year. This is always a big job this time of year. This was just the first of many leaf removals for the year.

She may not move many leaves, but she's great moral support.

We got it done.

But there's more falling all the time…

Burgandy!

2009-10-27T04:14:00.000-07:00

Ok, so last time I tried to post a pic of my costume it didn't work because I was using a program called Shozu to post to the blog. Shozu sucks by the way. I had trouble with it in the past, but decided to give it one more try. Fail!

Anyway, here is the picture of me as Ron Burgandy. The lighting is weird so it makes everything look more red than it was. The hair wasn't really red like this.

Tired out

2008-11-15T11:22:00.001-08:00

Shopping is hard work.

$550 Tree

2008-11-14T22:05:00.001-08:00

Here's a picture of one of my two recently moved trees. The trees (Tulip poplurs) had volunteered up in a couple of our flowerbeds, so rather than just killing them I decided to let them grow a whole and then move them.

Unfortunately I got an unexpected surprise when I dug out the pictured tree. Moving the tree went fine, but when I went back to fill in the hole I found it had partially filled with water. It turned out our well had a leak. So that turned into an excavation by a plumber on a backhoe, and a $550 charge. Lots of fun.

On the bright side, if I had not dug up the tree, and therefore had not discovered the leak, I would have wasted lots of energy and money by continuing to have the pump running to pour water down into the ground, which may have eventually eroded away enough dirt to cause a giant sinkhole which could have swallowed the house.

Old but fun video

2008-11-09T17:44:00.000-08:00

This is a video from back before Halloween, but I never got around to posting it back then, so here it is now.

70 degrees + in November? Let's go hiking!

2008-11-02T17:27:00.000-08:00

Took advantage of the great weather by going for a nice hike at Fort Harrison State Park today.

For those of you who don't already know, I recently got myself an iPhone, so I've been playing around with it constantly lately. I used our hike today to try out a new app on my iPhone. It's called EveryTrail, and it basically allows you to track your route, and take pictures along the way and have those pics located on the map of your path. So here is the result:

The joy of voting!

2008-11-01T21:27:00.001-07:00

We early voted today, trying to beat the crowds...

That didn't exactly work out. We ended up waiting in line for almost 3 hours. Lexi was a trooper but she did get a little grumpy at times about having to wait so long.

The imortant thing is that we got our votes in. Now all that's left is volunteering on Tuesday and then waiting for the results.

Lexi is a goof

Stream Clean-up

2008-09-24T18:41:00.000-07:00

I helped out with a large clean-up project on the White River in central Indiana a couple weeks ago. I was there as part of a Smallmouth Bass conservation group that I'm involved with, The Indiana Smallmouth Alliance. In total the cleanup effort covered somewhere around 70 miles of the river.

I was on a stretch somewhere around 3 miles long with two other guys from the group. We had two kayaks and a one-man canoe. We managed to pick up quite a bit of garbage considering the storage space we had.

Here is a picture of my kayak and one of the other guy's canoe right before we offloaded everything at a guy's house along the river. We saw the guy standing up the hill by his house watching us, so one of the guys with me went up and spoke to him, and convinced him to help us out by taking the garbage we had collected. Later on somebody else from our group came and picked the stuff up from his house. Worked out great because it allowed us to collect twice as much garbage since we were pretty much totally full at that point and still had about half way to go.

Here is a shot of my kayak at the end of our stretch. Keep in mind, this is all entirely new garbage from what was in the first picture.

It was a fun day, and we felt good about having helped out the stream in some small way.

Lots of New Lexi Photos

2008-08-17T18:49:00.000-07:00

This video is of Lexi running on the bouncy suspension bridge to the Rhino area at the Indy Zoo. Listen for when she says "Daddy, more." at the end. She was saying that because she was turning to run back across the bridge. She probably ran back and forth across that bridge about a dozen times. She likes that it is so bouncy.

Lexi continues to be highly advanced!

2008-07-17T19:23:00.000-07:00

Lexi is continuing to show off her amazing talents. She can sort of count to ten (sometimes she needs a little help, and she tends to forget 7 sometimes and go straight to 8, but lets not be overly picky). She's also very excited about trying to use the potty, and she's gone pee-pee on the potty about 5 times now! She thinks using the potty is so much fun that after she goes pee on the potty she says "more!" because she wants to go potty some more.

She's also been working on her dance moves. The music of the carousel at the Childrens Museum always gets her boogy on!

Video of the dancing queen:

She's also got a special talent for picking up change with her feet.
Video:

She also knows her colors halfway decent, and she knows her animals really well. Here's a video where she shows some of her skills in those areas as well as her artistic streak. (turn up the sound to hear her saying colors and animals)

She's not all business though. She still enjoys kid stuff, like splashing around in the sprinkler, and making her dad do goofy stuff on video.

Photos!!

Lexi keeps her cool (and stays hydrated)

2008-06-26T20:30:00.000-07:00

It was a hot one today, so Lexi and Monica decided to break out Lexi's new sprinkler. Lexi had a great time playing in the water, and also discovered that it was a handy place to get a drink.

And here's a video:

We also went to the Indianapolis Museum of Art last Sun. We didn't actually go in the museum, but just walked around the grounds and gardens. Here are a few pictures from that trip.

And her are a couple other random pics. Lexi really likes her hello kitty purse, but she feels the need to keep her arm raised straight up so that it doesn't fall off her shoulder.

Lexi's Summer of Fun

2008-06-11T19:10:00.000-07:00

Lexi's been having a good time so far this summer. With Monica off work for the summer, they've been able to get in lots of trips to fun places, like Indy Zoo and the Indy Childrens Museum. This Tues. I took the day off of work so I could get in on some of the fun. We went to the Fort Wayne Childrens Zoo. This was a new zoo for us (we're zoo afficianados and have been to most of the zoo's and aquariums within a day's drive of Indy). It was surprisingly nice for a smaller city's zoo. We had a good time. Lexi particularly liked being able to get in with the baby goats and pet and brush them. She seems to have a natural love for goats. I guess it's genetic. She really seemed to connect with them, and her grandma will be proud to see how she was taking good care of them. Here's a video:

And here are some pics with the goats:

And some other zoo pics:

Under the rain forest waterfall.

Pretending to be a joey.

Petting a Komodo Dragon. (It may have been fake, or it may have just been holding very still. Not quite sure.)

On the Australian river boat ride.

Waving to the kangaroos.

Lexi is a big fan of carousels, so she was happy to see they had one at the Fort Wayne Zoo too. Here is a video of her waving to Dad while riding. Unfortunately the carousel was a super fast spinner, so the cameraman didn't do so well.

We've also been slowly continuing work on her playset. It is almost finished now. Just have to finish the tunnel. Here is Lexi trying out her newly filled sandbox.

The top picture of this post, as well as the one below, are from Lexi and Monica's trip to the Childrens Museum earlier this week. The one below is Lexi standing under part of the Chihuly blown glass sculpture.

Here is one last video. This is Lexi riding the train at the Indy Zoo. She had to make sure her blanky was comfy on the ride.

Swing!

2008-06-04T19:36:00.001-07:00

We got a baby swing the other day to add to our new playset so Lexi can swing (she had done a little swinging on the normal swings, but they obviously aren't ideal for somebody her age). She loves her swing! She started grinning as soon as she got in. It was hard to get her out when it was time to go in.

Here are a couple videos. She liked swinging, but she thought it was WAY funnier when she got to kick her Dad in the tummy when she'd swing forward. Both videos are pretty similar, but I couldn't choose between the two so I'm posting both.

And here's a more recent pic of the playset. Still not finished. We have since added the climbing wall and started on the tunnel. Monica has also started staining it with weather sealer, and we have started battling with carpenter bees which are boring holes in the wood. :-(

Goofin' With Gramps

2008-05-28T20:55:00.000-07:00

Here's a video of Lexi goofing around with Grandpa Ray in his driveway. Turn the sound up so you can hear her laughs. The laughing is the best part.

Big Build

2008-05-28T19:36:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday we took on the project of assembling the wooden playset we had bought for Lexi. We were up at Monica's Dad's house Friday and Saturday for a wedding, so him and Sylvia came back down to our house Sat. evening to help us with the construction project. Sat. night we layed out and labled the parts, and then Sunday morning we got down to business.

We started around 8:00 AM, and didn't get finished until after 9:00 PM. When I say "finished", I mean we finished the main tower portion of the set, and got the slide attached. We still have a beam with two swings, a tunnel, and a cimbing wall that need to be added.

Here are some pics from the build. Lexi was a big help as you'll see. We did have one incident near the beginning where the whole structure came crashing down, almost on top of me, but there was no major damage by some miracle (only one slightly cracked board) so we were able to continue.

Zack Yaks!

2008-05-01T20:15:00.000-07:00

I got a kayak last year for a great price on a "day after thanksgiving" sale, but I had yet to use it, so I decided today would be the day. I took the day off work and headed to a local river.

Believe it or not, I took the picture above by myself, by holding the camera out to the side while sitting in the yak. Here are a few more pictures from the trip:

The last two are of a 19" Smallmouth Bass that I caught. My first fish caught from the kayak.

Multi Talented Girl

2008-04-29T20:03:00.000-07:00

Lexi's multitude of talents were on full display this past weekend. She showed off her reading skills, her gardening skills, her artistic skills, her hopping skills, her acting skills, and her shark petting skills. Here are a few pics and videos of her displaying her talents.

Helping Monica plant flowers.

Doing some digging.

Water painting a picture of her favorite guy, Handy Manny.

Hopping like a bunny.

Lexi acting out her own version of the "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" skit from SNL. This is a dead-on impression of that skit. The kid has some serious acting chops.

Petting sharks at Indy Zoo.

Lexi's First Boyfriend

2008-04-22T19:10:00.000-07:00

Lexi has her first boyfriend and his name is Manny. Handy Manny to be exact. He may be an animated character from a cartoon, but she loves him nonetheless. Being that it is a show about a handy man who has a set of talking tools that help him fix things, it is most likely intended to be a boy oriented show, but Lexi is a girl of diverse interests, and she can enjoy boy shows along with girl shows. If you ask her what show she wants to watch, she'll almost always say "Manny!". In the picture above she is holding her Manny doll, and wearing her Manny PJ's. She's a full fledged Manny nut.

We went to Fort Harrison state park yesterday after work to enjoy the nice weather by going for a hike with the dogs. Lexi had a great time running around on the trails. In fact, she loved it so much that we had some "issues" when we had to pick her up in order to get moving a little faster. If she had her way and got to walk on her own as much as she wanted, we would have been in the woods until after dark. She's an awesome little nature girl. She loved looking at all the wild flowers and trees (she even says "flowa" when she sees flowers).

Here's a video of Lexi doing some trail running. You may want to turn the sound down before playing it in order to avoid hearing daddy's embarrassing baby talk.

Lexi at the Museum

2008-04-21T19:43:00.000-07:00

We took another trip to the Indianapolis Childrens Museum Sunday. We got there late so we only had a little over an hour to stay before they closed, but Lexi managed to cram lots of fun into that time. She got in 3 carousel rides, and lots of time in the water table in the Playscape area (the area for the little kids).

Here's a video of Lexi dancing to the music from the carousel. She really knows how to shake her groove thing, and the groovy disco looking area of the maze she was walking through was the perfect spot to bust a move. She enjoyed checking out her moves in the surrounding mirrors.

Rainy day at the zoo

2008-04-01T18:54:00.000-07:00

Monica is on spring break this week, so I took the day off Monday and we went to Cincinnati Zoo. It was a little rainy, but we perservered and had a great time. Here are a few pics from the trip:

Lexi discovers why her daddy is "a little slow".

Lexi and I check out the wolf den viewing area. It was more Lexi sized than daddy sized.

Checking out the zebras.

Lexi after the energy ran out.

Rolling thunder!

2008-04-01T17:59:00.000-07:00

Lexi has officially hit the streets on her new ride, a tricked out tricycle with special extra loud exhaust system (AKA Dad making "vrooom!" sounds). Her favorite part about the trike so far seems to be her snazzy new bike helmet. She loves the helmet, and even demands to have it on when playing in the house sometimes. Unfortunately the first ride around the neighborhood was interrupted by a sudden downpour, so she had to cross the finish line being carried by mommy and chased by daddy carrying her trike. She's confident that next time she'll make it all the way around the neighborhood loop. She was almost all the way around the first time and going strong when the rain hit, and she was even ringing her bell like a champ.

Here is video of Lexi almost getting her first roadkill. Unfortunately it is taken sideways, so you'll either have to turn your monitor sideways, or turn your head sideways.

Videos!!!

2008-03-24T20:44:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try posting some Lexi videos today. We'll see how it goes. Let me know if the streaming quality is too bad and I'll try posting them some other way.

First off is video of Lexi on an Easter egg hunt. She was a real champ. Carrying her basket, finding eggs, putting the eggs in the basket, cracking open eggs and eating the crackers and cookies inside. She's highly advanced for her age, I'm sure. :-)

Next is video of Lexi at the Indianapolis Childrens Museum riding the Carousel with Monica. This is from about a week ago.

This one is a little older. It is from February. This was Lexi's first time sledding. She seemed a little confused about the whole thing at first, but then she started having a great time. It's hard to tell that she is having a great time due to the fact that her snow suit prevents her from moving much and showing her true exuberance. But trust me, she was thrilled.

Winter at the Zoo

2008-02-03T20:01:00.000-08:00

We decided to take a trip to the Zoo today. It was Super Bowl Sunday, and about 35 degrees, so it just seemed like the natural thing to do. Although many of the animals weren't out because of the cold, it was actually a pretty good day to go since there was almost nobody there. Lexi was able to run around all over the place without crashing in to too many strangers. Here are some pics of highlights.

Lexi, closer to a polar bear's butt than she ever thought she'd be.

Lexi, watching a sea lion swim past the window.

Lexi and Monica checking out critters in the desert habitat building.

Lexi, petting a shark. She LOVED the shark petting, and the splashing in the water, despite the signs clearly telling her NOT to splash.

Lexi and me checking out a fish tank in the Oceans building. I'm not real sure why I am quite so excited here.

Lexi and Monica spotting the red panda, which was hiding in a tree.

Ice Fishing

2008-02-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

I went ice fishing for basically the first time (I went once before in Wisconsin, but we were only out there for about 20 minutes that time) last weekend. I went with my co-worker Mike, and we had a good time. The ice was good and solid, but the fishing was not. We hiked about a mile across the ice, and fished for 5 hours, and didn't get a single bite. Oh well, maybe next time.

She's mobile!

2008-01-03T20:06:00.000-08:00

Lexi is officially a walker now! She had taken a couple steps a long while back, but recently it has turned into full-on walking. She walks all over the place now.
She is also finally getting enough hair that it can be styled in various high-fashion ways. Here's a picture of her showing off one of those trendy styles while enjoying some see food. :-)

Christmas Fun

2008-01-03T19:38:00.000-08:00

Hope everybody had a good Christmas. We had a good Christmas, it was great to see all the family, but the traveling all over the place did start to wear on us a little. Lexi had a great time opening her presents, and decorating her Daddy.
Daddy returned the favor.

All this gift opening and decorating got everybody pretty tired out.

Tree Time!

2007-12-05T19:44:00.000-08:00

Well, we went on our annual search for a christmas tree last weekend. This was Lexi's first time tree hunting, so that made it pretty exciting. Unfortunately it was frigid cold and very windy, so we didn't want to spend too much time out there. We found a tree as quickly as we could, and got back inside the building.

The Sporting Life

There was a sports theme for the family this week. We pulled together Thursday night to support our home town (and world champion) Colts in the opening game of the NFL season. If you saw the game, you know that the Colts defense, which struggled last year, was outstanding. If you were wondering what has changed this year, here it is...

Lexi did her best to support the defense, including putting on her "game face" which is pretty intimidating right now due to her several sharp little chompers. She struck fear into the hearts of the Saints offense, and they never could recover.

Friday I took a half day off work and went golfing with some friends from work. This was notable because we played Brickyard Crossing GC which is the ritzy course which is located beside and partially inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The course is normally much to expensive for someone of my income level, but I managed to finagle a great deal for the group, so we were able to play the course without having to sell any organs.

I played very well overall. The conditions were tough due to very strong winds throughout, and some heavy rain halfway through the round. My putting was actually good for once. It was my first try at using the new hand-me-down putter I got from my Dad, and I have to say I was pleased. Here is an action shot of me hitting a shot inside the race track.

I won't go into too much boring detail about the round, but I will mention a couple highlights for me. I managed 3 birdies including one on the most difficult hole on the course, and only missed two fairways during the entire round. Unfortunately I also had several truely horrific holes, but we don't need to go into that.

Here's another shot showing us playing a hole inside the track, with the famous speedway Pagoda in the background.

Pagac Family Update

I haven't posted anything on here in quite a while due to the fact that we have been very busy lately for a variety of reasons. Anyway, I figured I'd give a quick update on the goings on in the family despite the fact that it is getting late as I write this and I should really be getting some sleep. Oh well, I'll keep it short and sweet (or at least short).

Of course first and foremost in the family there is Lexi. Lexi is doing great as usual. She is a super happy, and super healthy 8 month old now. She recently got her 3rd tooth. This one is her first on the top side. Pretty exciting stuff. Our last unofficial weighing put her at 22lbs. She is extremely close to actual crawling, and has been pretty proficient at scooting around in a non-crawling sort of way for some time now.

Monica went back to work last week now that the school year has begun. She isn't terribly ecited about it being that it is work, and that it means she doesn't get to spend 100% of her time with Lexi anymore, but it isn't all bad because she is happy to see the kids she works with again.

I managed to accomplish a significant task this weekend. I finally managed to finish off the giant pile of mulch that we had delivered to our driveway about two months ago. I have been swerving around that mulch every time I entered and exited the driveway for those last two months, so being able to actually back straight out of the driveway again in the morning is a truly sweet feeling after all this time.

I'll end it on that exciting note since it really is late (for me) and I really need some sleep. Take care everybody.
