Alex’s baseball season is wrapping up and the other day he went through the pictures I took at a couple games and picked out his favourite ones. I put them together this morning and made a cool Blue Jays banner to go with it. Here they are.

Andrew’s Baseball Pictures
Andrew’s playing T-Ball this year for the first time on the “Oakland Athletics.” Over the past couple of games I’ve taken some pictures and put together a few into a collection.
Alex’s Birthday Pictures
I’ve received a couple of questions wondering where Alex’s bowling party birthday pictures were and more importantly, where are the pictures of the “fart cake.” That’s right, you read it correctly, fart cake. It’s eight year old humour, you just wouldn’t understand. Don’t worry, I didn’t get it either but Jen was able to incorporate it into the overall bowling theme and it turned out alright. I couldn’t believe that she was actually going to do it but then Jen asked me,
“Do you remember your 8th birthday cake?”
“No…”
“You see, he won’t forget this one.”
It was hard to argue with that. So here you have it, Fart Cake and Bowling Party Birthday Pictures.
Snowball Fight.
On the first day of spring this year we woke up to a couple of inches of snow. Alex took out the ruler and measured it in the backyard and I think it found that it was about five inches deep. It was really good packing snow so we all went outside and had a big snowball fight in the backyard. Well, it didn’t start off as a snowball fight but it quickly turned into one. I took a couple of pictures since it’s not often that we get snow in Texas and it’s even more rare that we get that much snow. Plus it was Caroline’s first time to play in the snow, I couldn’t pass up taking pictures of that.
Caroline Yearly Pictures
Yesterday we officially finished up with the house and got all our stuff out and handed it over to the new owners. We actually closed the day before yesterday but we were allowed to the weekend to finish the moving process. A couple of weeks before we moved we took Caroline’s first set of yearly pictures. It was nice to be able to get at least one set of her in the backyard since she is young enough that she isn’t going to remember the place but it looks like we are going to need to find a park to take the boys pictures this year as we won’t be in the new place yet. (I’m sure that is going to go over just great.)
Soccer and Lacrosse Pictures
Updated the website with some more recent pictures.
Spring outdoor soccer has started and Andrew has a had about three or four games. I took some pictures at one the other weekend. Alex is playing soccer as well but so far I don’t think he’s made any games since he has had conflicts with Lacrosse and this weekend they were rained out.
Finally, some pictures from 2010
Between the weeks we spent getting the house ready to put on the market, some work travel, and a bunch of kids activities, the first two months of the year have just flown by.
I’ve been working on getting some pictures put together but stuff just keeps getting the way so it’s taken quite a while. Today I finished up three pages of stuff.
At the beginning of February I got to travel to Germany for work to visit with one of our software vendors. We stayed in Heidelberg but really didn’t have time to go sight-seeing since we arrived Monday afternoon and left on Friday morning. For the afternoon we didn’t have meetings we took a bit of a walking tour of Heidelberg and visited the old castle.
After arriving back from Germany Jen picked me up at the airport and we drove to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We haven’t been for a couple of years and the timing worked out for us since we had just put the house on the market and wanted to get out for a couple of days while people were going through it.
Any finally, Caroline just had her first birthday this week. I can’t believe it. It seems like just the other day we were in the hospital with her. She wasn’t all that impressed with the cake and just ended up mashing it into her high chair tray.
Here are all the pictures
Christmas Pictures
It’s only taken me a month but I’ve finally found the time to get the Christmas pictures together. It’s been crazy busy around here the last month and I just haven’t had time to sit down and look at the pictures we took.
I was even getting the pictures together from January and it turns out I’ve only taken about 30 or 40 this month and don’t really have anything to put together for this month.
Fall Campout
Last weekend Alex and I went on our fall YMCA Adventure Guides campout. This time we were out in semi-west Texas at Possum Kingdom Lake. I saw semi-west because it was west of Fort Worth and the only other time I’ve ever been more west of Fort Worth was for the same campout three two years ago.
Anyway, here are the pictures:

Amanda & Ben Wedding – New Orleans Trip
I feel like I’m way behind everyone else in getting pictures posted from Amanda and Ben’s wedding. Sunday morning after the wedding I woke up, was tooling around online and facebook informed me that “Ben” was tagged in a photo from his wedding the night before. I think we’ve received at least two other notifications from other people about their online albums of pictures. I can’t keep up anymore, I’m getting old.
It was a great trip to New Orleans. The boys got to go to the Zoo with Grandpa Bob, I took them to the Aquarium with my Mom, Peter, and good family friends Roy, Rhonda, and Marissa. And then of course there was the wedding to go to as well. On Sunday Bob, Ryan, Alex, and I went to the Saints-Giants game to top off the weekend. I could have probably used a day or so off after coming home just to recuperate.
I’ve finished with the pictures and finally got around to posting them. There are 6 pages broken out by event so some of the pages are a little larger then normal.
