In Memory of Danny G. Cypert

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my Uncle Danny. He was killed Friday night in a motorcycle accident in Arizona. My Uncle Danny was a Captain for the Los Angeles Fire Department and worked as a paramedic for almost 38 years. He was 65 years old and loved riding his bike. He was a member of the LAFD Firehogs Motorcycle Club, a club made up of LAFD firemen & paramedics (view their website at http://www.firehogs.org/ ). He thoroughly enjoyed living and was quoted by my father (Danny's brother) as being "The World's Oldest Teenager". I didn't get to see him very often, but I did get to talk to him more frequently via email (he always had good jokes to send my way). Nothing has been set as far as services, but they will probably be in L.A. I plan on attending to pay my respects, so I'll keep you all informed. I can honestly say that he left this world doing what he loved probably the most. KEEP ON RIDING UNCLE DANNY!!!............................Dan

What a week!

Well it's been a exciting and expensive week. Wednesday Wyatt got his braces, he picked out black and blue bands (see picture). So I got to make a few car payments for the Orthodontist....ha! ha! Also on Wednesday at school Kalin got tripped while running in a relay race during recess and took a dive on to the blacktop. She received a good case of road rash on her hip, arm, and shoulder. Now for the part of the story that will make you want to call Child Protective Services on Ofelia and I (just joking). Wednesday night she complained about her arm a little bit, but I thought she was just sore from taking a header on the concrete. Ofelia ended up picking her up early from school on Thursday because she wasn't feeling good. The girls had a basketball scrimmage game that night, so we took her and Katherine (Kat played and Kalin sat on the sidelines since she was gimped up). One of the girl's coaches is a doctor so he took a look at it and said in about 2 seconds "It's broke". So needless to say, we felt like real fine parents....ha! He made a call for us and Ofelia took her in Friday morning and they X-rayed her arm and sure enough it was broke (one of the bones in her forearm - just above the wrist. So now Kalin has a pretty blue cast. We have to take her back next week for a follow up X-ray because it was still swelled up today when they put the cast on. So that means Kalin's done with basketball and gymnastics for the next few months. Well that's enough for now, I'll try and post some of our Spring break pictures of our snowboarding adventure. Until next week....WALK GOOD!...............................Dan

Welcome to our Blog

Well here's my attempt at keeping everyone up to date with what's going on in our lives. I'm terrible at passing on information to everyone (Ofelia will definitely agree!!!). So when my sister, Angie, started a blog for their family it sounded like a good idea to try one too! I don't know how often I'll be making post, but I'll try and do it on a regular basis. I'm not too much of a computer geek, so we'll see how it goes. If any of you out there want me to post something on our blog for everyone to see, just send it to me.

Well that's all for now......Dan

Test

This is a test to see if the blog is up and going.
