Paul’s Blogging

A look inside the Suarez van!

SuperAngel here again… here is YET another video for y’all! whoa 2 in one day!

Hello,

Thanks for all the great comments! I really do appreciate them all. Sorry I am so bad about replying.

Anyhow, here’s a few pictures of Sani and a fun “field trip” that we went on today…

See anything new?

Anything?

There’s something different about Sani…….

Keep looking…

Even though the walker IS new, I’m referring to something different about Sani.

Hahaha, that’s funny. Sani likes the camera! :P

ok, I might as well tell you…

I think she’s intrigued with the continuous bright flash from the camera.

No more flash. :D Ok, ok, I’ll show you…

See now? Sani got her ears pierced! (yay!)

Very nice…

:D

Here are a few with her new clothes! (Mom likes eBay)

Yes, that is a hat… I call that outfit her “Cabbage-Girl” outfit. :P

Two little ladies

HahahahAHa! That’s a funny picture of both of them.

Chowin’ down! (the girl never stops eating)

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed those. Here are some pictures of our “field trip”. :P

We went to…

Yep! The headquarters to the very best ice cream!

It really was the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

They have candy,

…very good coffee,

…good workers,

delicious creamy stuff….

That being, excellent “homemade” ice cream!

Oh, and I forgot to mention…

The ROBOT! :P Yes, the ice cream robot…

It has a pretty neat touchscreen computer where you can program what kind of sundae you want. You can choose what kind of ice cream, candy, syrups/sauces (in some models), you want in your sundae.

So, what’s your mood? You want a hand scooped ice cream or a robo-custom sundae. It’s up to you!

This is how it works…

First, it fills the first layer with ice cream. This picture is was taken when the robot was loading the last layer.

Second, it moves under the according pipe that you programmed.

These funnels here store the toppings and when the robot arm moves under the pipe, the funnel releases the toppings.

And after the serve up…

Wala! A robot made ice cream. :P

The place was big, artsy, and clean.

Yeah, it was pretty neat. By the way, the owner is a homeschool dad with six kids. Right here in my tri-cities area we live in. My parents were talking business with them today - these guys are selling franchises. TOS is doing an article in the summer issue about them. Beav got to take some pics for the magazine.

Leave me a few comments! I’ll try to reply to them as soon as possible. I’ve been insanely busy lately. Trying to get an AWESOME site launched and preparing for college, ugh. I’m excited about college but it’s going to eat up a lot of time.

Time, something I have very little of…

Thanks everyone, laterooski…

Hello everyone,

Our time in FL was awesome. I’ll post some pictures and write more on it a bit later. Right now, we’re packing for another TOS related road trip. We’ll be away for about four days.

Another thing, BlogStatter.com is doing great. I have a whole list of things I want to upgrade on it. Please sign up and tell me what you think of it. What should I change on it? I’m working right now on another very exciting site. I’ll blog more about that later.

Anyhow, for the full day that we’re home, it’s Moms birthday! That’s right, she turns 39 today. Happy Birthday, Mom.

In honor of her birthday, I sent an email out to everyone’s email address that my computer has in it’s memory (I just got this new laptop - which I’ll be blogging about soon aswell). So here are a few of the emails that went back and forth. They’re very funny.

Nah, that was lame… bye hey it rhymed right? I’d have to sit down for at least twenty-minutes to write out a real, nice, long poem. :D
Dena Wood

The CS/Store team has been workin’ on a little something special for you. But, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow (it’s still Sunday here!) to get it. Julie Ott spearheaded quite the extravaganza! lol

Kate Kessler

For the boss that I doth know

For the friend whose heart does glow

For the lady that we love

She’s a gift from up above

Lord of all to Thee we raise,

This my birthday hymn of praise!

For the lady of the day

For the happiness we pray

Lies within her home so bright

Stay here with her through the night

Lord of all to Thee we raise,

This my birthday hymn of praise!

To our glorious God and King

Praises to Him do I bring

For my friend whose heart is kind

Loving dear sweet sister mine.

Lord of all to Thee we raise,

This my birthday hymn of praise!

Happy Birthday, dear friend!

Amanda Dixon

Happy Birthday, Auntie Gena
Hope you get lots more poems than Dena
I can’t really write poe-tray
So I just hope you have a SUPER birth-day

I love you and miss
Every little kiss
You bestow upon my head
Ok… maybe its time for bed.

Yep, I hope you have a great day
We will see you on Tuesday!
Until then I will stop
Before I get to be a big flop.

Ok… so that was my really bad hand at poetry… I won’t test you again!
Auntie, I love you really. I hope you have a super day!

Dear Gena:

Here is your birthday poem. I am sorry that I sent your 50th Birthday Poem last year. You just look that old. But since you have had a kid since then, and since Paul took the trouble to so well document your birth, I think I have it right this year.

To My Dear Gena: On the Occasion of her First 39th Birthday

by Mia Harper

Gena, Gena, please do not rage,
Because your son revealed your age.
Perhaps it was, for him, a game–
Or payback for his middle name.

In any case, it now is clear
That your very first 39th is here.
So have your breakfast while in bed
And rest your dear old fuzzy head.

For this year soon will fleeting fly
And another year will be pass you by.
Life comes apace; you cannot win:
For soon you’ll be 39 again.

Eric Novak

Hahahaha! That is funny! What IS your middle name Paulie?!

Jacque Dixon

Amazing what the Lord can do with this tired brain….

Happy Birthday Gena~

My dear friend, Gena, with whom I share

My age for nearly half the year,

Today you are getting closer to forty,

But who really cares my dear?

When counting years one can only hope

That hers will never stop

So let us count instead the joys

And giggles and tears that drop.

For who would ever want to trade

A moment of her days

To have less candles on a cake

Or even lesser gray?

You’ve earned those candles- every one

And all the gray hairs too.

The blessings that accompanied them

Are all a part of you.

My birthday wish to you today

Is quiet time with Paul

and your precious children, having fun

There you go my friend. I hpe you have the best birthday EVER!!!!!!!!!

Love you~

Julie Ott, Ott kids, Dena Wood, Pam McCormick, and a ton others

Oh my GOODNESS GENA!! You have THE greatest friends! I’ll bet you are totally bawling right now… well, laughing, totally, but you have so many good friends!! Man…. oh man…. the Schooter part…. LOL and the Poetry….. man…..

YOU LADIES ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing it with me!!!

Gena

Oh. My. Word.

I have no words. For once. I mean….seriously. This *did* make me bawl. I can’t believe you guys did this….it’s amazing. Paul’s calling from the kitchen right now (as he reflects on it – since we watched it twice) that it is AMAZING. I simply have no words. Just tears. Wow. You are talented, and hilarious…and just amazing. That’s all I can say. I’m stunned.

Love you guys.

 

 

Gena

 

When it first came on and the singing started, I thought it would be someone lip syncing something – and then I realized that they actually wrote and sang this. I am still stunned. The part where I’m carrying the baby, Starbucks and all the magazines, stumbling around the TN mountains, oh my word. And the baby who apparently wants to nurse and I’m pushing it away – I HOWLED with laughter at that. Look at the look on her (my) face…..still dying. I cannot believe you did this…you made this the funniest birthday I’ve ever had.

 

Julie Ott

So glad you’re enjoying the details! We had a ball putting it all together!! That beauty queen mama rocking Suzy is none other than Laura! She was such a good sport! Leah is the main singer – I just sang harmony. My son Aaron played and recorded all the accompaniment. And my other daughter, Joanna, plays the part of Gena in all the faceless clips (because her hair is similar to yours). J

Everyone contributed a verse or two and some pics to use.

Dear Mortals:

I, too, think that Aquila is a noble name for a dead Roman. I was just teasing Paulie about the fact that Priscilla’s name is always mentioned first in the Bible “Priscilla and Aquila”– actually two of my favorite New Testament people. Some scholars have mentioned that they thought that Priscilla was actually the more intelligent and helpful of the two since her name is always mentioned first by Paul, and that was unusual back then. So I told Paul and Paulie that I was going to write a book on “Wimps of the Bible” and include him and Samson (who lets a woman lie to him repeatedly and then give him a haircut?) and Ahab (remember his wife Jezebel?)– people like that.
Poor Paulie is actually quite manly for a guy with that middle name. And I have to admit that Aquila is WAY better than Perkle. I would not let Gena have ANY naming rights to the next kid, if I were you, Paul.
By the way, Paulie, I recently met a man whose full name is Paul Aquilano. I thought that was sort of cool.

Eric Novak

LOL! Oh my goodness! That is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen! I loved the part where Gena was using her fingers to get out the last of the coffee!

Now was that video made on the clock or or off the clock? ;)

Anyhow, as you can see, we had a good time over the emails. The video was hilarious.

Sorry about all the inside jokes.

Ok, now here are a few pictures of Sani. Most of these were taken the today.

(To clarify what I wrote in my earlier post, I do believe it’s fine “to celebrate the birthday of the King“. As a matter of fact, it’s so “fine” that it shouldn’t be bound to “one MAIN day”. It should be celebrated equally any time, any day. Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. Or, better said, it has just as much to do with Christ as ANY other day.)

Now, on with my post!

Look at these CUTE pictures of my little AnnaSusannaBanana…

Two pretty Christmas sisters. Look at those black shoes.

Look at those legs! Shoes are too big and she drowns in her stockings so there was no point putting those on. Isn’t she a beauty?

My little baby…

They want her but I am *not* giving her up!

Beav, get rid of that grin. No, you cannot hold her!

I love this little sweetie.

Ahhhh, life is good. I noticed that both of them have the SAME exact look on their faces. Scary.

Ok, I’ll post a “real” entry soon. Mom INSISTED that I post another entry full of pictures.

;)

Oh and, thanks for your comments guys. I thought Joe’s and Anne’s were pretty funny. Haha…

So, here we go.

She likes to yawn. :D

Look at her little tongue!

Sorry some of these are so blurry.

Ok, that’s it for now. I’ll post a proper entry soon.

:D

 I just wanted to update you all on the little baby.

There you go!

Mom says that Susanna actually laughed today!

FaceBook has been messing up lately. I’ll be posting on that later.

I just thought I’d keep you all up on Susanna’s growth.

:D

Here are some videos for you all! Thank you all for your comments! I’ll try to reply to them as soon as possible. Ok, I got to get back to the kids. :D
Thank you for all your prayers!
