Ballerina

Lots of pictures lately. Here’s my next effort in trying to catch up. This is Ashlee’s dance recital that she performed last year in June. She’s planning on picking up ballet again this fall and she’s pretty excited. When asked why ballet instead of soccer this fall, she replied, “Because I have a lot of leotards that I haven’t used in a long time!”

Dance Recital

And even though I usually post these on Picasa Web Albums, I really love Flickr. I tend to post pictures there more often than I do on Picasa. Here is Becky’s & mine photostream. In order to see all the pictures on our photostream (as in the pictures of family and stuff), join Flickr and add us as a contact. Personal pictures we’ve only made viewable to family and friends.

Alert!

For a limited time only… Ashlee has been ‘published’ of a sort. She made a video and submitted it to ty.com (the beanie baby website). It’s titled binie babby partty, By: ashlee. If you head to their main page, it will show up in the main window at the top of the middle section. You may get a couple of flash adds and stuff. Just click ‘skip’ until you get to the ‘featured video playlist’. Her’s is usually the second one listed. She was so excited today when she went to the website and saw her video was up. She’ll yelled, “My party is on!”

Diabetes walk

I uploaded these photos awhile ago, but I’m just now getting to posting them. August is just nasty at work every year, even for those of us that aren’t going out to cover football two-a-days. Anyway, these are all pictures from our diabetes walk that we did last September.

Comic-Con

So Melissa was able to get comp tickets for Comic-Con because she is in the media. . I got to go because I was flying in. I have never seen so many interesting people. I visited the Marvel booth, you’re welcome Jere and Matt, as well as the LEGO booth. I took some pictures but I don’t have the correct adapter to transfer them to my computer so those are coming. All in all, it was a neat experience. One I probably won’t do again.

Sword Seminar

I’m trying to get caught up a little with posting pictures and stuff. So, I know these are a little bit older, but they were next ones up. Nick attended a sword seminar for karate way back last fall. Those of you who know me well enough will know that I think it’s pretty cool that the little guy is learning some weapons, especially swords. Dual wield even. Swords FTW!

The Struggle Over Water

So here’s the scene, Saturday afternoon, I’m on the ladder cleaning the gutters, Becky is weeding in the front, the kids were in the back in their little swimming pool. All of the sudden Nick comes flying around the corner onto the front porch, Ashlee in hot pursuit, a furious look on her face. Nick gets to the front door and turns around, he and Ashlee clasp hands in a bitter confrontation. Nick trying to hold his sister off, Ashlee trying desperately to get to Nick. Becky asks Nick what’s wrong and he says, “Ashlee is trying to attack me!” We all look to Ashlee for an explanation, and she blurts out, “He keeps complaining that the water’s too cold and I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT!”

I guess they called me on a mission…

SO for anyone that maybe had a shoddy phone connection, didn’t hear right, or for whatever reason forgot, I am indeed going to Portland, Oregon for my mission. The Oregon Portland Mission to be exact. So yeah, I’m pretty excited and stuff but I have to wait until September 17 to report. Not too long, not too short, but juuuuust right. So yeah, from the land where it never rains to the land where it never stops raining. Should be fun! And as a little treat to all you alls, here’s the picture I put on my application.

The missing photos

This was captured at the Cleveland Zoo. Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on here. Maybe I had to go to the bathroom and couldn’t walk the 15 meters behind me. Maybe I got lost and couldn’t figure out where the rest of the family was. And just maybe it’s a case of the jock itch via poison oak.

(And no… I don’t have a hump… that’s the backpack thingy geez!)
