Happy 6th birthday to the thing I didn't want. The thing I fought. The thing I thought would just change my life. Then did. Happy birthday to the stinkbox, butt face puppy, Moserrelli Cheese Dip, Busta and the Mosebear. I love you, pal. taken in Kansas City, Missouri by @vasquez007

When your oldest friend tells you he's going skydiving to overcome his fear of heights, what can one do but join him?

Today, we jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and felt just a little like what it is to be Superman.

Five stars. Would do again. taken in Kansas City, Missouri by @vasquez007

My heart is full.

Last night, I got to see my son's dream of playing soccer at the college level come to life. Jakob made his debut playing midfielder for the Ottawa Braves Men's Soccer team. While they ended up holding a very tough team tight through most of it, a goal by the other squad at 88 minutes put them behind. But, Jakob had some fantastic passes and ball possession.

I remember thinking his senior year would go fast in a soccer career, school journey and growing up mix that was already going fast. And then it was today. Not good bye, but instead good luck.

So much of me is jealous of his upcoming amazing memories and friends, relationships, growing up and opportunities to fearlessly take hold of life. I left the same way I left each day his mom and I went to see him in the NICU when he was born - full of hope, promise and a little fear.

My best friend left home today, but I knew he'd have to because he's too special to just stay home forever. taken in Ottawa University by @vasquez007

We ended an event-filled summer with a bang on a family trip to Maui and Honolulu. It was a fantastic time with family and celebrating Jakob's graduation. We ate fantastic food, swam in amazing waters, got up close and personal with sea turtles in the wild every time we went swimming, saw amazing hiking sights and sounds, enjoyed seeing the Pearl Harbor Memorial and swam with sharks. 20 years ago, on my first trip to Honolulu and the North Shore, I did a shark cage dive and it was fantastic sharing it with him. We made a lot of family memories, and we're looking forward to making even more next time in Kauai.

Next stop, Ottawa University. taken in Maui, Hawaii by @vasquez007

Tonight, we got to be a little part of history attending our first World Cup match. We had good seats and great weather for the festivities, and it was so fun talking with the fans from both teams. This was an incredible night, and tomorrow (hopefully with limited rain) we head to FanFest.

Last weekend, the final school year ended, and today, J11's time in club soccer also came to an end. One final match this evening, and tomorrow his newly acquired college summer workout plan begins. August will be here before we know it. taken in Wyandotte Sporting Fields by @vasquez007

You spend a year and a half planning, saving and preparing for your child to graduate from high school - and then it happens. Today, after a resilience-filled four years (and school career really), J11 and the 2026 Liberty North High School class graduated. Now, the next chapter begins. After he lands a summer job and a little summer fun, in August he will head off to Ottawa University.

To my son, never forget:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” by @vasquez007

Today, J11 and I visited one of the Meccas for Jaws movie lovers. From last September through this July, the Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures is hosting an exhibition in honor of the film's 50th Anniversary in 2025.

It was truly incredible seeing behind the scenes and up close and personal to what it took to create, in my opinion, the greatest film ever made. They had a gift shop. I'm not proud of myself.... taken in The Museum of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences by @vasquez007
