What a great 39th birthday weekend I had. Carolee and I went to Red Bank, NJ to see a Get The Led Out concert. Jake stayed with Stacy. My weekend started off great. Carolee and Jake surprised me at the door with a b-day cake on Friday afternoon. After I took Jake to Stacy’s that evening, Carolee and I went to Parx and had an awesome time. We ran in to her friend at Chickie’s and Pete’s while we watched the Sixers make a great comeback in game 4 of their series with the Celtics. Saturday we got to Red Bank and put our boat in the water (at the best marina in town…HA!). We cut up some “bunker” and tried to catch some bluefish. Not so much. Sat night was incredible. We ate at Monticello’s (the pork chop was the winner) and then hit the concert. They even played Carolee’s favorite song. Side note for the evening, I thought it was so damn funny when the lead singer announced that we had a birthday in the house. I totally thought it was for me (thinking in the back of mind, how the hell did Carolee pull this one off) and went to get up out of my chair. Comical. Had the best pancakes in the universe at Broadway Diner and then hit the Delaware river and Penn Warner for some more fishing. Now I’m looking for some sleep…..I wish my birthday always fell on a weekend! Thanks to my family for a great weekend. Carolee, Jake, Stacy, Chris, Debbie, Tony, Mom, Kerri made it all possible. I love ya. Can’t wait until my 40th in Atlantic City…..at least that’s the plan for now!

Opening Day Baseball – 2012 – Orange Team
Opening day of baseball for Neshaminy Wildcats. Jake is on the Orange Team – Minors. Me managing the team and Carolee taking on the Team Mom duties. What fun we are having so far……Jake is still convinced he is going to be a pro baseball player! He definitely has the determination and talent so far….we’ll see……fingers crossed.
Three Stooges Movie
What fun we had yesterday at the movies. We went to see the new Three Stooges movie and it was a blast. Of course, I wish my father was still alive to see the remake. Being there with my own son though, I knew he was with us laughing his ass off. Carolee, who’s not much the slapstick humor kind of gal, was rolling with laughter too. What a great time. Cherishing every moment!
This video (click the link above) will serve as a example to my son. Whenever he asks us how he can make his own money…….Boom, here ya go…..
Always remember, Jake Oberholtzer, you can do anything you put your mind to.
The summer of 2011 was an awesome one with plenty of things to remember. One glaring memory for me is Jake swimming across the creek at the Motel in North Carolina. Jake had become friends with this girl about 2 years older than him, she and some of her friends would jump in the creek and swim to the other side so they could jump off one of the big rocks. Well, after debating if I should let him, I figured what the heck he’s a good swimmer (and I was right there anyway). He jumps in to this gleaming mountain creek and starts swimming. My heart drops as I notice he is actually swimming diagonally instead of vertically across the creek. This is because the water was rushing a bit more than I thought not because he was just a crooked swimmer! Instead of panicking and potentially embarrassing him in front of his new found friend, I let his determination kick in. He swam his little mighty ass across that creek like he had done it 50 times before. Leave it to me to burst his bubble though because once he got over I wouldn’t let him jump off the rock! Ha. Either way, just a reminder to my son to always stick it out and never look back. You can do anything you put your mind to (even if there isn’t a girl involved)!
Indian Summer in Ocean City, NJ
Wow, is an easy word to describe our short weekend in OC. We went down the second weekend in October 2011 for Ryan’s b-day party. What a surprise mini vacation we had. So many things we did and so many memories to share forever. Arcade, the beach, crabs, boardwalk, football, baseball, funnel cake, crab legs, etc…
Dorney Park 2011
What a day! Mom and Dad took off from work and took Jake to Dorney Park for one last “Hoorah” before school starts. 3rd grade is fast approaching my dear son. I wish you all the best in 3rd grade and here’s to a great summer of 2011! Love ya big dude…..
Oh, what fun we had!
Knoebels 2011
Spent last weekend camping at Knoebels. What an incredible time we had! So many memories.
First Fish of 2011
Me and the family hit the lake at Penn Warner for the first time in 2011. As much as Jake is not a fan of fishing (at least as of now), he was the big winner for the day. Actually, I should write that I was the big winner of the day because I was blessed enough to be there when my son was catching these fish. We had so much fun. He picked the spot and we just dropped the lines and started catching them one after the other. Many more trips on the lake this summer and many more fish to come!
Valentine’s Weekend
Valentine’s Weekend 2011 was a memorable one. Saturday Carolee and I attended the Chocolate Lovers Weekend at Silver Decoy Winery. It was a blast. For $5 we got plenty of wine tasting, some kick-ass kielbasa sandwiches and other finger foods. After a bottle of Chambourcin and some great conversation with some of the other patrons, we finished the evening at Fleming’s Steakhouse. We had a unique experience there with the Bearnaise sauce! I love spending these all important special times with my wife. Happy Valentine’s Day to my wife, Carolee. On Monday night, I had the pleasure of receiving a custom brownie I Love U cake from Jake and Carolee. Gee, they really do Love me!
