JACOB, BREA AND DALEN

Im Back

2010-05-20T16:13:00.000-07:00

I know its been over 2 years since i posted on my blog but my wife tells me i should post more so here it is. Last time i posted was when we were pregnant. Well when Brea was pregnant. I may look it but trust me there is no child in this belly. So we had Dalen Benjamin Hair Jan of 2009. He is growing so fast and its awesome to be a parent.

Here is a pic of the 3 of us when we took a trip to Utah in March over our anniversary. We were at the Utah Hogle Zoo.

It's been busy around our house lately. Between work, church and Dalen things get kind of crazy. i will try and post more often, until then I hope you are happy Brea.

Peace out.

IM GOING TO BE A DAD...

2008-07-19T00:09:00.000-07:00

Just when you think something won't happen it does. I can't wait. We find out if we are going to have a boy/girl middle of August and she is due January 18th.

I will soon have a little mini me running around.

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE

2008-04-24T15:30:00.000-07:00

Well I have now lost 18 lbs. :)

Going strong.

Joined Facebook

2008-03-04T17:55:00.000-08:00

So I finally joined facebook since everyone is pretty much on there and not doing much with myspace. I sent you all friend requests so go accept them! :)

I can't believe it's been 3 months since I posted. Crazy! Life is finally going to slow down a bit for me in 2 weeks. In 2 weeks the basketball season will be over and I won't have to worry about coaching anymore (very happy about that)

WEIGHT OFF

2007-12-28T09:44:00.001-08:00

So I decided I am going to take on the challenge that Brea gave me in October. If I lose 50 lbs. by my next birthday then I get $1,000. Aaron threw in $100 as well. I am beginning today. Gym, here I come!

XBOX 360

2007-12-16T10:13:00.001-08:00

Well I finally purchased it and 3 games. I actually got it for a really good deal on craigslist. I got the XBOX 360, 2 wireless controllers, 1 play and charge kit, 1 xbox live headset. Then I bought Halo 3, Madden 07, and NBA Live 06. I got all of this for only $310.00!

I just played Willy last night on Halo 3, we played together with a Double Team. It was awesome!

SO EARLY

2007-12-12T06:48:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I dread Wednesday mornings...

That is my early day (get up at 4:45am). This morning I did not want to get out of bed. So sleepy...

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!! :)

2007-12-10T16:40:00.000-08:00

In less than 2 weeks I will be in Idaho having fun with family. I can't wait. It's going to be really fun seeing everyone. The brothers have set up a football game that should be a blast.

I love this time of year.

Peace...

Brothers....

2007-12-03T18:44:00.000-08:00

Good times. This is a little weird but yet perfect in it's own little way. This reminds me of Jason, me, Willy, Aaron and Peep.

HAHAHA. Listen to the words. Kind of humorous. Let me know what you think.

New layout

2007-12-02T13:16:00.000-08:00

Getting bored. Time for something new. Let me know what you think.

2007-11-30T18:46:00.001-08:00

SUCCESS!

2007-11-28T06:33:00.000-08:00

Well last night was my first basketball practice with the boys. It went really well actually. I was worried about not having enough drills to run and everything but we didn't have a problem filling the time.

I have a few boys that are really good and then some that think they are really good but need some work. Overall I think we will have a pretty good season.

Well I took the plunge...

2007-11-24T10:07:00.000-08:00

I am now a head coach for 5th & 6th grade boys basketball here in Milwaukie. I believe this is going to be a fun experience but time will only tell. I hold my first practice this Tuesday and will also be holding a parents meeting to let everyone know how this season will run and I have to give them my coaching philosophy...

Go team!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!

My new idea for landscaping...

2007-11-15T22:06:00.000-08:00

I decided on a good thing for our landscaping. Keeps neighbors away :) HAHA.

DENNIS DIXON FOR HEISMAN

Holidays means FOOD!

2007-11-13T16:32:00.000-08:00

Okay, fine. Time for a blog not about football.

Time is flying by so fast! It's almost Christmas time and then I will be able to meet my 2 new nieces. Plus Gem's boyfriend (Eric) will be coming up as well. This is going to be a very different holiday. Tons more people.

But obviously before we hit Christmas we have to feast on wonderful food. Thanksgiving rocks. Thanksgiving this year will be with Brea's side of the family. We are having it our house this year. Kind of cool because that means we get to keep all the leftovers! :)

We just went to the store and bought 4 Sara Lee pies....MMMMM....

Don't tell Brea but I just might have to eat one of them before Thanksgiving. HAHA.

Tomorrow's the big day

2007-11-02T17:54:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow Oregon Ducks play the undefeated Arizona State Sun Devils. I will be at the game, it's going to be good. Hopefully the Ducks will put out a win.

Oregon Ducks (7-1, 4-1 Pacific-10) has the top rushing offense in the conference with an average of more than 280 yards a game on the ground.

Arizona State Sun Devils (8-0, 5-0) has a passing offense that's ranked third in the Pac-10. It is anchored by Carpenter, who has thrown for 2,168 yards this season with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Go Ducks!!!

UO beats USC!

2007-10-27T15:56:00.000-07:00

Oregon can start seriously thinking about a national title run. As for Southern California, just winning the Pac-10 could be a long shot at this point.

Jonathan Stewart ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns and the fifth-ranked Ducks knocked off No. 9 USC 24-17

ITS ALL ABOUT ME TODAY

2007-10-26T09:34:00.000-07:00

That's right. I get what I want all day long. It's my bloody birthday, show me some respect! :)

Work

2007-10-24T15:48:00.000-07:00

Oh man. Had to fire 2 people yesterday at work. What is with people these days? No one has a good work ethic.

Blah, blah

2007-10-23T20:50:00.000-07:00

Ok so i wanted more than one stupid post on my page. Now I am just waiting for people to go check it out....ok Im done waiting...

I have caved in...

2007-10-23T20:05:00.000-07:00

Okay so now I am feeling left out about this whole blog thing. I have created a blog for Brea and I to post our random thoughts for all you to enjoy! Yipee.

First Jana and Jason made one then Caitlyn and Will. Im feeling left out here. I don't have a child and I'm not pregnant but "by golly" I want to blog! I do have two cute nephews and two cute nieces though!

So I love this time of year! 1 main reason really. Well my birthday is in October (this Friday) and FOOTBALL!! :)

The Ducks are doing great this year. They are now ranked 7th in the nation. I have already been to one of their games and will be going to another one next weekend. Can't wait!
