Giving Thanks

As Thanksgiving is upon us once again Aim and I give thanks that we can split the holiday between our families!

Would you care for a noogie with your mashed potatoes?

After Elmhurst we took the trip out to the Timmons'to hang with the Gapastione side. A house filled with kids, dogs, and enough food to feed an army. These little cuties were at the door to greet us

Uncle Cook assumed the Thankgiving position and carved up the bird



Aim hung out with the kiddies and got a fair share of wrestling tips from Peyton who is scheduled to be in 3 tournaments coming up

Long Time No Blog

Man, we have had a string of bad luck with our laptop so I am playing a little catch up- Bare with me... We hope all is well with our friends and family!

Fight night

A few saturdays ago Daryl and I went to see my friend and Muay Thai teacher Robby fight at the UIC pavilion in the Iron heart Crown.

Heres a good action shot

He eventually won the fight in the second round with this submission AKA rear naked choke


After we went to Gregs bar 50/50 to celebrate the win

Sunday Dinner

A few sundays ago we had my parents over for dinner.



It was nice having them down for the night, we got to watch True Blood together too

Halloween and the King

Happy Halloween! Aim and I dressed up this year as An Astronaut and a Martian Girl. It was a pretty big hit with the crowd. Our first Halloween together as man and martian.

Our little Tin man

This is the pumpkin I horribly carved.

We went to our friends Greg and Bridgets house for a little costume party before we went out.

Last week we went to the UFC fight and saw Spencer "The King" Fisher fight Shannon Guggerty. He won by submission, and later he had his after party at Gregs bar 50/fifty. We met him then and hung out a little. He called Greg this week apparently and said he had a good time and wanted to come hang out in Chicago for Halloween. He sat at our table and chilled with us the whole night. It was pretty sweet-


When he wins a fight he does the nature boy salute Whooo Whooo... Which I was doing all night and he did it with me. He gave me some top secret news on his next opponent too. Who is also some one Aim and I met-


Ricky Ratajchek showed up and hung out too.

He is giving a Ju Jitsu class at my gym next month that costs $200.00, he is letting me come for free which is pretty sweet.

We had fun hangin out. It is crazy cause Im a huge fight fan so to be able to have an awesome time with my wife, dressed up for Halloween, with MMA talk all night with some one who we go and watch was the best!

Some pics of the boys



We met on Mars
