Just a sample of some of her creations... I personally think the watermelon hat is very cute.
Kayden is very very proud of her first baby hat she made, and Kennadi is still working on her scarf. Check em out!

New Geek Genre
Hi fellow self-proclaimed-and-proud-of-it-Geeks we have branched off our Geekiness into a new venue. One heavily influenced by the coolest Aunts and Uncle around! My big sister Trae has started her own etsy and blog dedicated to knitting! She has made some absolutely AWESOME creations so far and has blown us all away by her creativity. Please take a minute to check out her BLOG and FACEBOOK page and ETSY page to get the full effect of her newly developed (yet incredibly skilled) talent/geekiness!
Ok plug aside, my own daughters have taken up this passion and are now spending hours on their projects. They can often be found watching the newest Dreamworks movie or Backyardigans with their little sister, needles in hand, knitting away. They are incredibly inspired by Trae and her insanely cute and amazingly unique creations, and are getting hands on training from their Uncle Beah and Aunt Hannah.
Kayden is very very proud of her first baby hat she made, and Kennadi is still working on her scarf. Check em out!

New Geek on the Way!
Well folks, it looks like time waits for no one and neither does the Filler of Quivers, as He has so graciously decided it was time for us to have yet another little geek!
We were a little worried but as you can see from the US pic, there is only 1 in there... and ominously enough it is waving at us, as if to say "yup get ready for another little terrorizing beast of a child!" ... or maybe its waving it's fist defiantly at us saying "I will rule your world one day!"
Either way were excited!!! Rowan can't stop talking about the "new baby in momma's belly!"
We also had a wonderful vacation the week after Grayson and Kayden's birthdays. We went up north to Boyne Mountain (again) and enjoyed lots of rainy days!!
Thankfully we were able to get out between the raindrops and see the Sleeping Bear Dunes
And Petosky Beach
And a neat little Nature Preserve out by Harbor Springs
It was a very nice time and worked out well as it gave all of us perennial sickies a chance to get well which we have trying to maintain since our return!
Alas as our vacation was exhausting and the Motor City Comic Con was immediately upon our return... and we have a fixed budget which doesn't allow some of those niceties anymore, I did not venture out to the land of Novi and hang with all the supergeeks, and people who live their lives in a fantasy world this year.
Maybe next year!!

Happy Mother's Day!
A lot to post about from this weekend, but let me make this first post about the person that made this blog possible. The wonderful woman who brought me into this world, My Mom! Maureen Lynn Kimmel. She did all the hard work of bearing me, birthing me and bringing me up right!
My mom is one of those dynamos that was always up before everyone and working on something, whether it was for her or someone else, and then would be up late burning the midnight oil to finish either her project or some housework or task she had on her ever growing list. She also always had some sort of part-time job that she put alot of work into and allowed her to get us kids the nice things that she wanted us to have.
She has a definite knack for setting up fun times that become traditions. Fall apple picking at Irwin's Orchards, then the apple-pie-baking weekend once the apples were all picked, Easter bread making in the spring, Zoo trips in the summer, Planting and harvesting the garden, Sunday afternoon dinners, Birthday dinners (where we got to pick out everything about the meal). Its been fun to watch her transition these times into Grandma times with my kids as well. They thoroughly enjoy every time Grandma calls us with some fun idea she has cooked up for them.
Since the early days of part-time jobs and craft shows, Mom has turned a passion for cooking and an extrovert's personality into a profitable and beneficial business. As a Pampered Chef Director she does in home cooking shows and also contributes to many fundraisers. Of late she has partnered with a Kidney Research Foundation and has contributed a sizeable amount of time and funds to their efforts.
Past ventures of note:
http://www.sahshistory.org/Fund_Raising.html
http://www.childcarenetwork.org/DNN/Portals/0/Training/2009%20Thanks%20to%20Our%20Sponsors.pdf
Also a featured guest at the Michigan International Woman's Show where a local write-up in 2007 had this to say about my MOM!:
"On the Celebrity Cooking Stage, Chef Maureen Kimmel whipped up a delicious dessert in minutes. Kimmel, a busy mom of five, specializes in meals in minutes and has been cooking for Pampered Chef, a kitchen tools and products company, for 13 years.
“People want fast but not fast food,” Kimmel laughed while offering samples of her scrumptious-looking Double Chocolate Trifle to passers-by. “I call it gourmet cooking in fast food time.”
Kimmel, who mainly does cooking presentations on the weekends, revels in the freedom it gives her away from a full-time job.
“Most of the people that do this actually work a full-time job and this is something fun that they can do on the side, maybe to save for a vacation or braces or whatever,” Kimmel said.
The Pampered Chef, a company founded by Doris Christopher, seeks to empower women by giving them the tools they need to achieve a better balance between work and family. The company offers quality kitchen tools that make their customers more skilled in the kitchen, allowing them to make meals faster so that they can spend more time with their families"
Happy Mother's Day Mom!

After reading this, my wife said "it sounds like an advertisement for Pampered Chef" to which I replied, "It's because I am proud of my mom and her accomplishments, many of which have been affected by her position in the company"

May the 4th be with You
Okay as corny as it sounds "May the 4th be with you"!
Yup it is that time again, it happens once a year. All of us ridiculous geeks either hum some John Williams, practice our lightsaber forms or just don a full Vader costume to celebrate a great day of geekiness.
I don't think the actual date has anything to do with Star Wars except for the pun itself. But it sure has turned into quite an event!! May (through June) is also Star Wars Weekends at Disneyworld (which, from what I hear, is enough to make a die-hard pass out from excitement!)
Anyway just my geek quota for the day.
Oh and btw, according to the blogger "lightsaber" and "geekiness" is not in the dictionary... Silly spell checker! yeah yeah now it is telling me that btw isn't in it either. Go figure.
Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.

Free Comic Book Day coming soon!!
Ok Geeks and Nerds... it just so happened that this years FCBD falls on my first born son's 1st birthday!!! Saturday, May 7th.
Mom and the 3 girls are planning on going to a Mother - Daughter banquet at South Side Baptist Tabernacle. Grayson and I plan on hitting all the major comic book/gaming stores in the area before throwing down an incredibly GEEKY 1st Birthday party at the new house, which he will also be sharing with his big sister who has a very close birthdate of May 9th.
Guess I should start cleaning and finishing unpacking my saweeeet action figures, space ships and posters!!!
Oh and in case you are a big Geek like us, check out the FCBD ad with pics from last year... You may just notice a certain familiar girls face complete with S-girl t-shirt and cape!
Stay tuned for pics, since we are also going on vacation for a week after the party and the following weekend after that is the Motor City Comic Con.
Geeks Rule!!

Blogging again?
Well here we all are 2 years later.
A whooooole lot has changed since then, we turned to Facebook for much of our updates and info, but I felt compelled to return once more to the world of blogging; especially with technology catching up finally to all my ideas!!
Lets do a quick recap, shall we?
Since April 9, 2009, we have moved 3 times. This last time becoming home owners for the first time since we married and started our family over 3 years ago. We are all very excited about our new home (we moved in the beginning of March, 2011) and are enjoying the perks and work of being home owners.
Our baby girl last blogged about is a terribly cute 2 year old that now terrorizes her almost 1 year old brother. She is a walking, talking, singing little firecracker who gives us no rest and consistenly tests the her bounds and our patience! Who knows what will happen in the next 6.5 months, we may just add yet another child to our insanity!
Our 2 oldest have gone from being little girls to becoming lovely and helpful young ladies. They both are a tremendous blessing to me and their mom. Kennadi rises early with the above mentioned Rowan (they all sleep in the same room and she likes to yell and cry until they get her out of her crib) and feeds her and gets her started watching Barney or the Backyardigans for the day. And although the Kayden still requires some assistance waking in the morning, once out of bed she is always willing to hold Grayson until her arms give out.
Who is Grayson you ask? Oh he would be that almost 1 year old boy. Grayson Parker Kimmel was added to our family May 7, 2010. He is named after Richard Grayson and Peter Parker. Those true geeks out there will appreciate that! :) He was our little buddy (don't ask me his measurements, I only know he was small) and still is. Currently learning to walk (look out Haven!) and as cute and pretty as his blond-haired, blue-eyed mommy! We are still working on his manliness though, as his current sounds consist of very high pitched girly squeals to outright feminine screams!
Well that's about it for the actual family member recap...
What's that you say?
Oh, how are Mom and Dad?
Well we are older, wiser, more distinguished and very much so loving our crazy lives with our busyness at work (mom still works 4 days a week along with dad, but opposite shifts), church (we now attend Carleton Community Baptist Church and enjoy serving and worshipping with fellow-minded believers) and family and wouldn't trade it for anything!
More to come, maybe in another couple of years :)

Not so geeky update
Well I know its been a while... ok since Christmas, but my lovely, encouraging and uplifting wife hinted the other day that I should work on our blog and update it since our baby was born 2 months ago (yikes!) and there aren't any pictures or updates on anything other than Facebook.
So here you go:
Rowan Jade Kimmel was born on 2/7/2009 at about 6:30 pm via c-section. My wife did an AWESOME job laboring and trying to have this baby "normally" for around 36 hours!!!
We were discouraged by the c-section, but the Lord knows and was/is in control and everything turned out great.
It was pretty neat in the OR when they lifted out our baby and waited for me to tell what the Lord had givn us. The moment when I was able to say "Its a GIRL!" was unbelievable and unforgettable. Ill be posting some pics (i haven't yet figured out how SOME blogging guru's post the little link to their WHOLE albums) soon.
I know it is late but thank you all who prayed (the three people left that still read my _every_4_month_post_blog_)
Now our little girl is 2 months old and growing and getting fatter every day.
She loves her daddy and tells him how much she does, every day.
These are cell phone pics so the resolution isn't the greatest.

Gone Too Far?
So the girls in my office have chosen today to put up their "Christmas" decorations... these consist of:
Snowmen figurines, Tiny Trees, Santa figurines, Gingerbread men, a Rug that says "I Believe in Santa", and a sign that says "Happy Holidays"
NOTHING about Christ or the REAL reason for the season or Merry Christmas or even a manger scene!
Now... last year when they found out that I told my, then, 5 and 7 year old stepdaughters the TRUTH, that Santa is not real and mom and step-dad work hard to provide for them and WE buy them the gifts under the tree, they were outraged!
Note: I also made very clear that we emphasis the actual real reason for celebrating Christmas is the birth of our Saviour and not some fat sicko in a red suit that lets children sit on his lap.
They made a sign that said Grinch and something else along that line that I can't remember the exact wording... oh wait i think it was "BAH HUMBUG!"
Anyway, this year i decided to be pro-active and counter their lies that they tell their own children and everyone else by putting up this sign above my desk so its clearly visible when any employee brings their dear little deceived child into my office. I just put it up just now as kind of tongue in cheek to their decorations and you would not believe the OUTRAGE again!!! They showed it to 3 other people within a matter of minutes and they all evidenced disgust and displeasure at my insensitivity to the dear sweet children of the world.
Question: Why do some people fight so hard to keep others believing in something they KNOW to be completely FALSE and empty of any REAL meaning?!
Answer: Why don't Christians fight harder to get others to believe in something they KNOW to be absolutely TRUE and LIFECHANGING.
Did i go to far?
I plan on changing the sign to something about Christ and seeing what happens then.
A friend (thank you Jason "the nag") sent me this link, all disclosures about not-agreeing-with-everything-certain-websites-say aside, i think this is a very simple clear argument to the whole santa business.

SAVE STAR WARS POCKETMODELS!!!
HI ALL!!! Well you may have heard the news that TOPPS (the big ogre company!) has decided to close down Whizkids and cease operations on all their product lines!!
On the AWESOME forum that I talk all things SWPM and some things SW someone had a great idea to have all the kids that have been at the tournaments and play the game take a picture with a sign to SAVE SWPM!! So I did it!
We are supporting the grassroots efforts to continue the games! And since Heroclix is the mainstay of WK games and the fellas that have started a company to try and secure the games from TOPPS are involved in the HUGE Save Heroclix effort as well, we added their sign and URL
Sorry that you can't see the sign with the URL's that well, here are direct links:
SO folks here we have a portion of our little group that plays SWPM!Note those cute little girls holding the signs in the front, they don't really play the game but the carry ships and cards around in their purses! so CUTE
I will be posting some pictures later of my AWESOME WIFE making those great looking posters! The girls and I did the coloring.
And there I am with my pretty face holding a bunch of packs!I brought a bunch as incentive for the kids to keep playing and for the pictures!
HEH! We are sooo cool!
Someone's silly kid got a hold of the camera! lol WE HAVE A TON of pictures like this on our memory card!
Aha! we have discovered a closet geek!
Well Well, sitting on the floor... what is that your sitting next to?

Some people thought these two should have stayed where they belonged... with all the OTHER animals in the park!!Hey all,
So I just was doing some blog reading and realized that i have not blogged since September!!
Yikes!
Well since that last blog alot has happened!
My Lovely Wife and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary!
We took a little mid week trip up to East Tawas by Lake Huron (i think, i was too busy staring into her beautiful eyes to notice a silly little lake!)
It was a nice 3 day get-a-way for both of us. With both of us working and getting up at all hours of the night because our little guy is kicking and pushing on bladders and making one of us generally uncomfortable, some nice R&R was much appreciated!
Then after we got back we took the girls on their FIRST PLANE RIDE!!!
No we didn't just hop on a plane just so they could experience it! We actually took them somewhere!
Oh you want to know where?
Well... DISNEYWORLD!!
And let me tell you, i am glad the parents got some R&R the week before because it was a non-stop week for us seeing everything we could at all the parks we could squeeze in!
Then after Disney (dont worry ill upload more pics later)
we just loafed around for about 5 weeks waiting for the EVENT of the year!!!
The Costume themed Star Wars Pocketmodel Tournament!!!
The above pictures tell a bit of the story, some of the kids dressed up... quite well actually
And some were just too cool to dress up!!
Anyway got to run to church more to come maybe on Saturday while i loaf around like some other bloggers do all day!!
