How to Pacify the Time

What a great invention for pacifying the time. Little Jake was awesome {although he is awesome all the time...}, during the car ride with the use of modern technology and the use of old superman DVDs. It is like "just add batteries" with a twist.

Happy 4th of July

Happy Fourth of July! We had such a good time with the Ranney's up in north G.A. this past weekend. It was fun to go up, relax, hang out, play board games, and read magazines. We got the chance to meet Jason's father Tom and his wife Nancy. What a great couple! The boys even got to be in the parade down town in Tom's awesome 64 buick skylark. They all looked real handsome in the parade. Be on the look out for more pictures from this great weekend away. Thanks again for the invite Tammy and Jason. Thank you Nancy and Tom for having us stay with you and opening your home to us.

Day on the Field

What a great day to play ball! I got the chance to spend some time with my Dad-in-Law ,Ken, and my nephew Brody at the Make a Wish baseball game fund raiser. We all had a great time while at Tropicana field one fine Sunday morning. The two best things for me were watching Ken take the field while hearing Brody call "PaPa" in the last few minutes of the above video clip, and having Brody fall asleep in my arms for twenty wonderful minutes. Never mind the huge drewl mark on my shoulder and the back ache that came from such a moment! :) I loved every second of the day. We had a great time!

Love Ya

Thanks to my Sister-in-Law Nikki I can now add a more personal touch to my blog for everyone. I now have my own signature. Just a neat way to express personal character and creativity. Thanks Nikki for all the great ideas.

Apollo 11th pod for return to the earth.

Back end of the Space Shuttle. What a fun afternoon at the Cape in FL. My mom had come down to visit this past April and we got the chance to spend some quality time together. So we headed over the the east coast of FL to experence The Kennedy Space Center. It was a fun way to see history, become a part of our desire to explore, and to spend time with my Mom.

Just Add Water!

The simplest things in life that make us happy are the things that come without an effort attached to them. Watching Jake have fun at one of Disney's resort pools was an afternoon well spent. While he played and enjoyed himself, I found myself relaxing, taking time to actually read a magazine, not thinking about all the things I should be doing, and enjoying the thing I love best. That being time spent with close friends and taking pictures. We all had a great weekend celebrating Tammy's B-day!

Long Day At Disney

Silly Boy....

Leap of Faith....

As We Grow We Climb Higher....

Slip Slide and Away.....

A steady hand, fast shutter speed, being in the right position and lots of timing goes into a shot like these. There are times when you would like to show the movement of the water [ ie. a slower more relaxed shutter speed and a tripod] but in one like this were the person is your target you want to freeze and capture the moment not the movement. I laugh every time I look at this series of pictures. Jake's little face says it all as he nears the splash at the end of the water slide. As soon as he was done with one ride it was right back to the top for one more ride down the big slide.

Disney Perfect Afternoon....

Joy seen in childhood fun.....
