Where to begin? Things seem to have been really busy around here this week. I don't know why. We haven't accomplished very much.
We'll go back to last Saturday night. In this house the males are all fans of MMA. We purchased the pay per view and were expecting some knockout fights. Literally.
The first fight with Tavares-Griffin was probably the best fight of the night. Tavares trying to submit Griffin and Griffin being able to get out of harms way. The Fitch-Sanchez fight was suppose to be one that could go either way but Fitch was just too tough. He never did let Sanchez get going.
The main event was Chuck Liddell vs Keith Jardine. Liddell was suppose to win this in a walk. He won the first round and after that, it was Jardine all the way. He won a decision and rightfully so. I just read that he got a $7000.0 payday. Not bad for one night. Liddell, in losing got $500,000.00. What a difference.
The surprise of the night however was the Forrest Griffin-Mauricio Rua tilt. Rua is considered one of the top 5 in the world at 205lbs. Griffin was the winner of the Ultimate Fighter One reality show. He is the type of guy who doesn't seem to get into the fight until he is bleeding. Rua obliged him in the first round and gave him a deep gash from his forehead to his cheek.And Forrest? He just took it all and came back stronger. In fact he came back so well he won the round. In the second Rua started to tire out and Griffin took it to him and submitted Rua with a rear naked choke.
Unbelievable. His payday was $24,000.00 plus another $40,000.00 bonus for submission of the night. Rua made $150,000.00.
The rest of the week has been taken up with Physiotherapy- lots of pain sometimes, and my favourite little moose Owen. He is getting smarter and bigger every day. He was here on Sunday and would tease us with his breakfast. He would offer my wife a piece of toast and when she went to take it, he would pull it away and laugh and laugh. One year olds are not supposed to do this.
Today we went to see the geese. As we approached the pond, the 50-60 geese that were there all took off at once. Spectacular. Owen was fascinated and just sat so quietly watching them fly out of sight. I wish I could read his mind.
And he has started to run. He loves to chase and be chased. And laughs . His laugh is infectious.
It's also a good thing Mrs. Moose has a thick hide. When he arrived on Sunday, we went out to get him and Mrs. Moose took him out of his car seat. He immediately pushed her away and reached for Grandpa. What can I say.
And for some reason he loves the garage. He always wants to go out into it. I don't know why.
He has also started to look at the world upside down. He thinks this is quite neat and wants you to do it with him.
All in all, it has been busy here.

Moose, grandparents are very important to their grandkids.
My little niece got on the phone the other day (she's almost three).
I said "Hi Tessa, how are you?"
First thing she said was "Where's Gramma?"
I said "She's at her own house."
And the little bugger hung up on me. HAHAHAHA
Mom babysits the three little ones a couple times a week. They're very attached to her and she doesn't really do much with them but they're always up on her knee with books. Sometimes all three of them at once.
Tyson is four, and the girl's (Tessa and Megan) are almost three.
Babzy: Kids love the telephone. Owen gets on , says 'LO and then won't talk anymore. He seems to like the dial tone best.
Does Gramma read to the kids? That's very important.
She reads to them. They all love books.
Babzy: That's great. Kids should be read to more often instead of being plunked in front of a TV.
Kristin has read to Owen every night at bedtime since he was born. She also sings to him every night,
Babzy: BTW next time Tessa asks tell her grandma is busy but she can talk to you. See what happens.
