Birthday Present
My sweet sister got me this cookbook for my birthday, and I love it!! I've seen this lady's blog and have read it from time to time, and I think she's hilarious! Who would've thought a cookbook could be funny, but it is. The recipes look delish too! In fact, I'm making one this weekend for our Christmas Gift exchange with a few friends. I'm excited, hope it turns out! :)

Watchin Lukee
I watched Luke today while they went to the AR basketball game. They brought him over, and he fell asleep in the car, but woke up once he got inside. So I figured he would eventually need a nap at some point.
He got a second wind and played real good around the house. He was very intrigued by the Christmas decorations. I just had to tell him no 20 times. Not bad compared to the 100 I tell Jacob.
*look at his handprints on the fireplace
He makes me laugh. Here he is standing on a truck. Little short legs.
Later I found him laying by the front door. Not sure if he wanted to go home or if he was getting tired.
I got him nice and snug to watch Dora with Jacob, and I knew it wouldn't be long before he was out. Love a sleeping baby!!
We had fun with you today Luke. Come back soon!! We love you!!!

Small Holiday Recap
Kris had to work Thanksgiving, so Jacob and I headed to Dardanelle to eat with my parents, aunt and cousins. We stayed a couple of days and Jacob loved every minute. The weather was beautiful Friday and today, so Jacob got to ride the 4wheeler with Papaw and make 1,000 laps around the house. HE.LOVED.IT! Needless to says, naps were not on his agenda. After a bath last night, he was OUT at 6:45pm in the recliner. I debated putting him to bed, because I figured if he went to bed that early, he would surely wake up early, and I did not want him to start his day at 5am! But I just couldn't let him sit there or wake him up, so I put him to bed. And thank goodness he woke up at 6:45am.
I forgot to take my camera with me, so this is with my phone. I missed getting pictures of his many rides on the 4wheeler and him playing with my cousin's dog. Oh well... I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.
p.s. hello Shelby & Amber if you're reading this! :)

Been Away From The Blog For Too Long.......My Comments On Random Stuff
Family and work obligations have kept me from doing much blogging lately. I'm certain the other bloggers here have the same excuse. I don't really have anything good to post on so I'll just think up some stuff for the sake of posting.
-The Revolting Blog's newest addition, Brian "Bob Gas" Bullock is gonna be a daddy.....again!!!!!! He broke the news the way anybody in today's world would do, via Facebook. Best I could tell from the FB comments he didn't even tell people in his or Crystal's family in person or over the phone. He just put it on FB and let if fly. "Bob Gas" is cool like that. That's why we hired him here. We don't have word yet on whether it's a boy or girl, but know one thing right off the bat. The kid's probably gonna be a hell of a wrestler.
-Name suggestions can be left in the comments section here for Brian and Crystal to read through. My early suggestion is only a nickname, "Baby Gas". I have heard many suggestions from fans throughout the days since the announcement. Hornswoggle was my favorite.
-For those who don't know, Hornswoggle is the name of WWE owner Vince McMahon's illegitimate midget son. It's also not really his son. It's just a wrestling storyline. This all got me to thinking about how cool Vince McMahon really is. Not because he has an illegitimate midget son, but because he lets his employees kick his ass on a routine basis. How cool would it be if everytime you had differences with your boss you could challenge them to a match? I love my boss and my boss is a woman, so I probably would get arrested if I fought her. However, there are other blog readers who would love to get their boss in a steel cage at least a couple of times per year. Miller, what would you do if you could just get 30 minutes, you and Mark, Hell in the Cell? How great would it be if everybody's job environment was like a wrestling show? I can just picture Tom putting helpless old ladies in the torture rack when they back out on a car deal. How about Grant Sharp applying the mandible claw to defenseless elementary students when they get out of line. It would also be cool to see Clay jump into the barber chair onto an unsuspecting customer for a bronco buster. I would love to be in the office the day Muddy yells out, "if you ain't down with that, I got 2 words for ya, BRUSH IT!!!!!!" Obviously I'm a sick individual.
-For some reason it's actually easy for me to picture Sharp putting a sock puppet on his hand and assaulting small children.
-The news is a bit older, but insulting Grant made me remember. Brian isn't the only guy who's expecting a new addition. Grant and Brittany are gonna welcome "Baby Sharp" sometime next year. I don't think I've put this information on the blog yet. I was going to the day he told me but Jordan and I decided we should wait until they had time to tell everybody themselves. Not that the 4 people who read this blog would run out and spill the beans. We're very excited to have another niece or nephew. I'm pretty sure it will be a boy. My other 2 sisters haven't proven that they have the ability to produce a girl. Why should Brittany be any different?
-Grant didn't call and just flat out tell me they were having a baby. His words were, "well I slipped one past the goalie". I was left to try and figure out why he would call and tell me about a soccer highlight. I don't think there's anything abnormal about putting it that way. I've heard that's just the way soccer coaches tell it. From Joe Bologna's to fatherhood. It's been quite a journey for the one they call "Stretch".
-My once feared and undefeated fantasy football team has fallen on hard times. I've lost each of the past 2 weeks. I knew I didn't have a chance against Bunch after he unleashed his new mascot, the weiner dog. However, my loss to Miller was a surprise. I now find myself in a battle against "Big" Alan Hale this coming weekend for first place. I'm still 1 game up in the standings but Al is riding an impressive winning streak of his own and is ready to take over.
-Does anybody else find it funny that Billy Gillispie scheduled the Cats for a tournament at an all inclusive resort in Mexico that has a bar in the gym (banquet hall), one in the "locker room", and one at each entrance to the gym (banquet hall)? I've heard when people vacation in Mexico that they take their own bottled water. Billy G don't need no stinkin water. It's a good thing he got fired. It could have turned out worse than dropping Maholli off in Amsterdam during "free weed week". **disclaimer** I don't really know if there is such a thing as "free weed week". I'm guessing there's not.
-If you like to Facebook "chat", add Gavin Huff as a friend immediately. He loves it. Jordan told me earlier that she was on there and Gavin tried to start up a chat and got ill when he found out it was Jordan logged onto our account and not me. He may be young, but he knows who the cool chatters are. Plus he sports the best mohawk in Muhlenberg County.
-If you're not careful, you're kids will grow up way too fast. Maddie turned 7 this month. Aubrey will be 4 months old next week. It seems like all of this has gone by in a flash, but that's what I always heard it would be like. The funniest part is that even though the kids are growing up, Jordan says that I'm not.
-This week we have Thanksgiving, which is when we're supposed to give thanks. Hence the name of the holiday. This means that Black Friday is upon us as well. That doesn't mean that Bunch will show up at your house in his Halloween costume or that Bullock will go into one of his old wrestling gimmicks (he was once "Black Bob") and try to fight you. It means other people, a lot of them not even black, will descend upon stores in droves to try and get the best deals. Black Bob won't try to fight you Friday, but there's a chance someone else will if you grab the last of whatever prized item you're after.
-The Revolting Blog is still the #1 choice if you "google" Reggie Warford. Just for fun I "googled" Deh Beh and the blog was the#7 choice. "Google" Negro Cowboy Deh and the blog comes up #2. This is very interesting stuff. "Google" The Git and you won't find the blog anywhere on the list, at least not in the first 2 pages. I couldn't bring myself to look any further. This tells me something. Not only should we quit wasting time posting stuff about The Git, Google doesn't want anybody knowing that we've ever posted anything about him to begin with. Yes kids, even Google disses The Git.
-Last thing. We need more bloggers to keep this thing alive. Obviously the team we have now is not into it anymore, but people still visit the blog looking for something to read. At least I assume that they do since the visitor counter keeps going up. There can't be that many Warford fans out there being steered this direction by Google. Leave your name and email in the comments section if interested. Just remember, this is a family blog and you must haze Kendall Smith to become a poster. Those 2 requirements don't even go together, do they? I wasn't meaning like Muhlenberg South basketball style extreme hazing. Just an occasional verbal assault will be fine. If you are interested and don't want to leave your email for the world to see. Send me an email at jeremyvinson@comcast.net and I'll get back with you ASAP. The blog could be so much better if we had Ho Huff, but he declines everytime I ask. How about Muddy? He would be another good one. We need a female too since Kendall never accepted the offer. See, it's that easy. Faith? There are so many great choices out there. Somebody jump on board the Revolting Train.

Year of Thanks
I am very blessed, and have so much to be thankful for. I like writing it down and reading it over and over so I never forget, I'll start from the beginning:
- January--thankful we were only without electricity one night during the ice storm and were able to stay at my parents house.
- February--job offer. Started 2/23
- March--celebrating 2yrs with our Jacob
- April--loving the sunshine and warmer weather, taking walks with Jacob
- May--celebrating 4yrs of bliss with Kris
- June--celebrating Luke's 1st birthday and sold our house after 2wks on the market
- July--mom & dad offering to let us stay at their house up here while we search for a new home. We appreciate this more than they'll ever know.
- August--closed on our new home
- September--visiting with family in from Pennsylvania
- October--celebrating 3yrs with my sweet niece Kate and Dad's big 60th!
- November--adding another candle to my cake
God's love is ever lasting. And he blesses me in both big and small ways every day- I am thankful!
Something's Missing
Kris put Jacob to bed last night and since it's getting colder, I asked him to put a pair of socks on him--even though he's wearing footed PJs. I can't stand the thought of him being cold since he doesn't keep a blanket on himself, so the socks are a little extra warmth.
We also put a Pampers on him at night before bed so he doesn't leak. We've done this forever...
This morning, Kris gets Jacob out of bed and starts to dress him. He unzips his PJs and sees no diaper. Yes folks, Kris took Jacob's Parent's Choice diaper off, put socks on him and zipped him back up without a Pampers.
Jacob went to bed commando!
Father of the Year, Kris!
p.s. Jacob was dry this morning, thank goodness! And yes, we need to potty train - I know this.

Christmas Decor
Sorry 2 readers, I am a terrible blogger. I honestly don't feel like I have anything interesting to share. We did put up the Christmas tree last weekend, so here are a few pictures of that day.
This is Jacob's 3rd Christmas, but this is the first year that he's really noticed the tree. The last 2yrs he never once touched the tree, this year I cannot keep his hands off of it. He is OBSESSED! He wants to touch every.single.ornament. Look at the excitement building up in this picture, so much that he is gritting his teeth!
Beth and Kate popped by later that afternoon. We were putting the finishing touches on the tree, and Kate wanted to help. She was so good about suggesting where to put the final ornaments. Look at Kate still in her Sunday best - such a cute dress, and notice her necklace. I on the other hand look like I've been hit with the ugly stick. This is what I call the "I wear makeup, fix my hair every day for work, so not today Sunday" look.
I would show a picture of the entire tree, but I cannot find my tree skirt. Where could it be, and why isn't it with the rest of the Christmas decorations?! Either it's by itself somewhere or I have a whole other box of decorations hiding somewhere.
Hobby Lobby is my FAVORITE store for seasonal decorations! Last year after Christmas, they had their Christmas 90% off. This little number was $99.99! Who would pay full price for this?! Not me, I got it for $9! BOO-YAH!
These 2 and the sled came from there too, but I've had them for a while. Still one of my faves!
Santa plate and another cute little Santa
Here is a $5 cookie jar I got at the WM Associate Store
I thought this guy was cute
What's that... another Santa
Can you tell I like the plush? :)

A Few Early Season Did You Knows About This Year's Wildcats
Did You Know......
-that Eric Bledsoe claims he gets his toughness from getting beat up as a young kid. Wow!! He's got some guns for an 18 year old. He must not have had those as a youngster.
-that the aforementioned Bledsoe set the all time single game UK scoring record for a freshman playing in his first career game. That's really hard to word correctly. What I mean is that out of everybody who's played at UK as a freshman(ever), they have all scored fewer points in their opening game than the 24 Bledsoe put up against Morehead State.
-that his first game was the only game that he was eligible to set that record.
-that I predict Wall will break Bledsoe's record tonight.
-that UK's most athletic team this decade did not get even 1 dunk against Morehead State. Not 1. Not only did Morehead State get some dunks, they got some nasty ones. Kenneth Faried's one handed alley-oop was #2 on the Sportscenter top 10.
-that Eric Bledsoe's backwards, falling down, circus shot was #1 on that same list.
-that Eric Bledsoe is getting a lot of love in the DYK.
-that Deandre Liggins doesn't even warm up or sit near the other players on the bench this year.
-that nobody knows why. Coach Cal says he'd rather talk about the players who are playing and that he never throws a kid under the bus.
-that I've never, ever, in all of my days, anywhere, not just in sports, but in any facet of my life, heard of anybody throwing anybody under a bus, literally. We tried to do it to Kendall one time back in 1995 but the bus driver was pretty good and swerved, causing us to miss. After the driver noticed that it was "The Git" that she had dodged, she asked if we wanted to try again. However, she had already ruined the moment and we knew it might cause heartache to Harry and Twanda so we declined.
-that it's rumored that UK will have new uniforms at some point this season from the Lebron James line at Nike. It's rumored these jerseys will first be seen at the UCONN game at Madison Square Garden.
-that the one big time recruit that Cal missed on this spring, Xavier Henry, had 27 in his debut with the Kansas Jayhawks. He hit 5 threes if I'm not mistaken. We needed that shooting.
-that Rider, the team UK plays this coming Saturday, beat #19 Mississippi State the other night.
-that this one has nothing to do with this year's Cats, but Mark Coury and his Cornell squad put a beating on Alabama as well. Coury, of course, was said to have been a force.
-that I have 2 tickets to Thursday night's game I need to sell. If you can point somebody my way to sell these things, you can have Kendall's spot on the blog roster. Not just any spot. Not a dog named Spot. Not a liver spot. But, Kendall's spot.
-that former UK player and fabled "beast", Matt Pilgrim, tallied 2 points and 2 rebounds in his debut for Oklahoma State. Beastly stats indeed. Oh yeah, he also fouled out in 10 minutes of action.
-that former Cat Derrick Jasper tallied 6 points and 4 rebounds in his debut for UNLV in 19 minutes of action.
-that ESPN announcer Jimmy Dykes has dropped his famous "violent cuts" reference since Meeks is gone. Obviously we don't have anybody on the team anymore who cuts violently. He has replaced that with reminding us countless times during the game the other night that John Wall is faster than anyone in college basketball or the NBA "rim to rim". He said this 5000 times in a game that Wall wasn't even playing in. How many will we get when Wall suits up?
-that I actually like Jimmy Dykes. He has some weird ways of getting his point across sometimes, but overall I'm happy when I see that he is doing a UK game.
-that Jimmy Dykes is a former UK assistant coach.
-that I'm done with this post. Thanks for reading it if you actually happened to make it this far.

Chillin' on a Friday
Happy Birthday to the Fat Guy. Looks like he's on the other side of the law for a change.
It's All For Real Starting Friday Night!!!!!!
It's hard to believe but it's true. Through Big Blue Madness, a blue/white scrimmage, and two exhibition games the Cats have more highlights than they had all of last season. At least I think it's true. Cool video, and I always love a good ACDC song.
Piper Sinks To The Depths Of Humanity........Hides Behind Kid
One of my all time favorite segments. Roddy Piper wasn't there to do anything. He had his son Colt. He begged Terry not to do it. He should have just gotten on his knees and begged for mercy.
Special Edition - Way Back When-esday
Timeline: 1996
Age: 22
Thank you to all the veterans who are serving and who have served our country. Kris entered into the Navy after high school and served 5yrs as a Marine Medic. I did not know Kris during this time, but he's got some great stories to tell. I am so proud of him for this accomplishment!!
I dug out some of his memorabilia from his Navy days.
Look how young he looks. As he would say, he's a hot mammer jammer. :)
He's so serious in this one.
His dog tags.
Badge
A couple of restaurants in town are letting veterans eat free, so we're going out tonight to celebrate Kris and his time in the military. We love you Kris!!!
Oh, and a BIG shout out to my brother-in-law John! Today is his birthday! Happy Birthday John! He's gonna kill me for posting this pic. :) The story behind this picture is it was taken a couple of days before my wedding, which John was in, and he emailed me this picture with the subject line "new look for the wedding". I did not want this fu manchu in my wedding album, so he got rid of it, thank goodness. :)
Little Helper
Jacob can be such a good helper. I asked him to pick up his toys, which he did. I just didn't specify to put them in the toy chest.
And yes, I realize he's still in a crib. I think we'll work on the transition to the toddler bed real soon.
NWO 4 Horsemen Parody Nitro AUG 1997 WCW
This is mainly for Brian and Tom. Schiavone utters the classic line "we've reached the lowest point ever on this program", during this classic parody. Of course that classic line is followed by "Double A" offering Curt Hennig (Buff) his spot in the 4 Horsemen. He doesn't just offer him any spot. Not a liver spot, not a dog spot, but HIS spot. Classic Syxx Pac as Flair, and Konnan as Mongo.
The Bremen Games Are Back!!!!!!
We have started back on our Sunday Bremen showdowns. This fall we have some guys from Ohio County who are coming down to play us. Last week we had to end in a tie because some Bremen Jr Pro players were coming in to practice. We tried to finish the game by deciding that the next team up 4 would be declared the winner. After about 20 more points by each team nobody accomplished that feat so we just declared it a tie and let the little girls take the court. Team Muhlenberg (aka the good guys) consisted of Ho Huff, Jeremy Vinson, Scott "Money" Bunch, Terry Nunley, and Jeff "don't call me Mike or Mark" Gray. This week we are adding the Bremen legend Jason Whitmer to the team. We are all way too old to go without a sub. The Ohio County squad features such greats as Scotty Barnes, Tim Curtis, and "Saint" Nick Belhasen. I will give an update later next week on how this Sunday's action goes.

How'd You Like Your Leg Humped?
I saw a video of Al Roker getting his leg humped by an Ewok that wasn't as funny as I hoped, so I went looking for more! Here you go...leg humpin' time.
A Few Did You Knows
DYK:
-that Pedro Martinez will be pitching yet another big game in Yankee Stadium in game 6 of the World Series. I'm a big time Pedro fan. He's definitely lost some of his nastiness over the past couple of years, but I still love him. In my opinion he's the best pitcher to take the mound during my lifetime. There are others who have a good argument and there are others who dominated for a longer period of time. However, nobody dominated like Pedro did during his peak years. He struck fear into every team he faced. What makes it even better is that he is about Kendall's size. I loved watching him in his prime, and I still hold out hope that he can deliver one more magical night in NYC in game 6. I don't even like the Phillies. I just like Pedro. He even had his own midget at one time. Remember when Boston was on their World Series run and Pedro always had that midget hanging out with him in the locker room and at press conferences? At that point in my life I had never thought of it, but I quickly realized that you haven't really made it until you have your own midget.
-that Tim Lincecum is the closest thing to the young version of Pedro in today's game. Even Pedro said so after Lincecum faced the Phillies late this season. Lincecum has several of the same qualities as a young Pedro. In fact, Pedro said that Lincecum is better than he was at the same age, significantly. Plus Lincecum is a little dorky guy. That makes me love his dominance even more. The only thing left is for Lincecum to get his own midget and assault Don Zimmer.
-that it's been 3 weeks since I hired "The Git" to write UK sports updates for the blog. He's all over it!!!!!!
-that Bunch is a good looking black guy
-that my fantasy football team, Porcinis After Hours, is undefeated in the Revolting Fantasy Football League. I think my luck is about to run out though. My best player isn't playing this week and I'm facing my long time nemesis Hop, and his skull crushers. The weird thing is that the team who has come closest to defeating the Porcinis machine is the last place team in the league, Team Dingleberries. Of course any team lead by Muddyfoot Harper is gonna give me fits.
-that somebody in my house has been sick every day for over a month. Maddie started us off right with her pig flu battle. Then Aubrey had her reflux episodes hit all time highs. Lately it's been Me, Jordan, and Aubrey all 3 with a stuffy head and sinus problems. Actually, if I'm counting Aubrey's reflux in this it's been 3 months. The poor thing has battled it since birth. She is on a couple of medicines now that have helped tremendously. As soon as the medicines starting helping her reflux, she got the head congestion junk. She can't catch a break. She's got a cool dad though, so she's always had that going for her.
-that Ho Huff is an aspiring tri-athlete. Is that what they call people who participate in triathlons?
-that Maddie was Lola for Halloween. That's Miley's best friend Lilly's alter ego on Hannah Montana. Aubrey was a wiggle worm. Abe was Captain America. I once knew a legendary Captain. His name was similar. You just have to drop the merica. Now that Captain could definitely deliver the shots!!!!!!
-that new blog writer Brian Bullock has always loved to tell his Mulkey story to anyone who would listen. Nobody appreciates the history of wrestling more than the man they call Bob Gas.
-that writing about Captain's and wrestling makes me remember that we lost Captain Lou a few weeks back. He was a classic, and one of my all time favorite managers. He made the "rubber band in the gelt look" famous.
-that I get mad when people from other states talk down on the intelligence of Kentuckians. We have some very intelligent folks from our state. However, there was a guy on catspause.com a few weeks back who doesn't fit into this category. First let me tell you that Mcdonald's sponsors a UK basketball team poster each season, which you can pick up at Mcdonalds. Makes sense doesn't it? This guy started a discussion on the message board asking where he could get one of the Mcdonalds UK posters. There were some pretty good responses.
-that this old dude went into a bar one time and found a good looking woman sitting alone. He asked her "would you have sex with me for $1,ooo,ooo?". The woman said, "of course". He then asked if she would do it for $20. The woman got angry and said, "Hell no, do you think I'm some kind of whore?". The old dude calmly said, "maam we've already established what you are, now we're just haggling over the price".
Have a nice day!!!!!!! Cheer on the Cats Friday night as they battle the mighty Clarion Caliparis. It's the John Wall debut!!!!!! Hopefully they will look better. If you can't catch the game, check out the blog Saturday for Kendall's recap. I'm sure it will be interesting. Actually I'm sure it won't exist, but you can always stare at your computer and dream.

Say Cheese!
Jacob's daycare will have 'picture day' every now and then. I never get too excited, because they bring in a guy with a camera around his neck and a cheesy background.
I give you exhibit A & B:
I give you exhibit A & B:
These are my 'proofs' (that is a staple in the middle of each pic). Do I want the fake fall foliage or Santa's Sleigh? Hmm... which is better with that sweatshirt? I wonder if he thought that was a real dog he was petting? He always looks cute, but do I really need an 8x10 of either one?
p.s. in our defense, these were made last Thursday, Jacob's return to daycare after 3 days of sickness. Needless to say, he wasn't properly dressed for either season.
