Santa bought Kim a flight to Florida to see her mom January 25th-January 28th.

Since she was gone and I had to cook and do dishes for three days, Kylie and I took the opportunity to not eat so healthy.

On Thursday night I made killer pizzas at Cucinova. Kylie even did the dishes.

On Friday night, Kylie wanted to pig out so I was inspired by BW3’s and made mozarrella sticks, loaded nachos, buffalo wings, onion rings, a Wisconsin Cheese Curd hamburger with fries. It was a pretty good dinner. Kylie and I had a good conversation about life and school and all that. Kylie even volunteered to do the dishes again.

Yes, our kitchen looks just like BW3’s.

On Saturday night, we went to McKenzie River, a place I had never been to.

I meant I made dinner inspired by McKenzie River menu. See, even have the menu on the table. Our daughter from another mother came along, Kylie’s BFF Brinley. I meant she came over to the house while I cooked. She is like family. Not much conversation with Kylie and I but it is always fun to just watch those two interact and laugh.

I made some really good chicken tenders, fries, hamburger with pulled pork on it. It was delicious. Since Kylie had company, I did the dishes.

I hope to get back to writing today. I have written some things but have not finished them yet. Maybe I will reblog some old stuff in the mean time. Been a busy week.

Even if it is two days before November, I will be thankful for the time Kylie and I spent together this past Saturday. Having three older daughters, I know it will go by fast.

Since Kylie was little, we would watch College Gameday together whenever I was off work, which wasn’t often. When I worked we would always call each other and FaceTime the last ten minutes to make the picks together. (I could stream ESPN when I was at work Saturday’s.)

It is a tradition that I hope will continue well into her adult years. She likes the NFL better than college. I like college better than NFL. But in general I think both of us just like watching football together.

We went to watch College Gameday live since they were in Columbus for the Ohio State-Penn State game. We had a really good time, even though it was cold and raining, then snowing. 71 Friday, 35 Saturday morning. Only in Ohio they say.

I tried to get Kylie to stay and watch the Skull Session, where Coach Meyer talks and The Ohio State Marching Band, TBDITL, plays but she was too cold and wet.

Needless to say she didn’t want to stay and try to find tickets to watch the game live, nor did I want to pay $200 plus per ticket. We went home and warmed up and watched the game from home.

We were certain Ohio State would lose the game since everyone was picking them to win. They, Ohio State, tried to give the game away but in the end pulled out an exciting 39-38 win.

Plus we were on TV at least four times. That makes us stars in today’s society right.

Boston Marathon 2017 and Daddy/Daughter Date Night

On May 18, 2017June 12, 2017 By roberthansen1317In Boston Marathon, Christian life, date night, daughter date night7 Comments

With the busy schedule I have had, I am way behind on personal posts. I will try to get out my next few posts to get those all caught up on my life over the last month. ( I am sure I am not the only one that has been extremely busy but…)

The Boston Marathon on April 17th. My wife ran again and finished in 3:44:11, which is 2 minutes and 35 seconds faster than her time in 2016. She was on pace for 3:29 at the half way point but the heat caught up to her. She did an amazing job and qualified to run again in 2018. Way to go Kim!

We did not go with her this time to try and save money so no new pictures. (Here are pictures from last year The Boston Marathon- The Race and The Boston Marathon – The Trip .) She met up with one of her good friends from Florida and they had a girls weekend together.

While she was gone, Kylie and I had a daddy-daughter date night. While the cat is away, the mice do not eat healthy. Kylie had the sampler appetizer and I had the Boston Lager burger, in honor of the Boston Marathon of course.

After dinner, we had to stop at Kroger and grab us some ice cream. Yum Yum!

A Dallas Home Game In Cleveland

On November 8, 2016 By roberthansen1317In Christian life, Dallas Cowboys, Fathers-Daughters, Football5 Comments

My favorite NFL team since I was little has always been the Dallas Cowboys. I don’t know why since I am from Ohio and no one I knew liked them. I have brainwashed my daughter into them being her favorite team also.

We went to Cleveland to see them play November 6th. It was a good daddy-daughter day. There were so many Dallas fans walking to the stadium that it felt like we were in Dallas. I would have to say it was at least 1/2, if not more filled with Cowboys fans inside. It was also 60 degrees. Something to be thankful for in November in Cleveland.

At one point in the 3rd quarter the crowd was chanting Let’s Go Cowboys and it was loud. A lot of Browns fans were leaving by this point.

Kylie got to see her favorite players, Jason Witten and Zeke, score touchdowns. She likes Dak but her favorite player is Tony Romo and he still was not able to play this week.

Yes they were playing Cleveland but the Cowboys were very impressive. Zeke, Dak, Witten and the defense ruled the day. If you haven’t heard the Cowboys won 35-10.
