Never thought I would say that.  I hate the Yankees.  Unfortunately my son was ‘drafted’ by the Yankees in the Hilliard Baseball Association.  Not to brag, (well ok, I am going to brag) but he’s the youngest on the team.  We have been pitching to him since he was 2, so I thought T-ball would be a step back.  He’s where he should be.  Being the youngest, hes still about middle of the pack heighth wise.  He bats either leadoff, or second, and usually plays third (which is his favorite).

Ok I’m done bragging on him, just very proud!

I’ve been using his games to shoot a ton.  I think in the three games hes played, I have shot over 1000 shots.  I also have been sharing them with the other parents, and  I have been lucky enough to have people with interest in them.  I have sold 20 or so (but I am also being nice and throwing a couple in for free).  I don’t consider this a money making job, I am just happy to share my shots of the kids with the other parents.

Here is a picture from Paxton’s first day of school. I have to say I love this picture of them =)

Paxton and Parker

This was taken last month sometime.  One of those shots I vaguely remember taking.  I needed some filler for this new theme I am using and figured the B&W Conversion would work good. Anyway, here you go:

Shooting back at me

Here’s my boy.  Makes papa proud. (thanks to Grandpa Schwandt for taking the pics while I coached)

Paxton Running the Ball with Intensity

The boys were pulling over rocks to see what was under them.  I decided to snap some pictures since I haven’t used the camera in at least 36 hours.  Click Me

Paxton’s “Maw-Maw” gave him a little gift around Christmas, because she had heard that Santa was looking at getting him a digital camera for being a good boy last year.  He ended up with a Nikon CoolPix P1 in black.  8MP point and shoot with wifi and a lot more.  Not to shabby for his first camera eh?

Well, that wouldn’t stop him from lusting after his Grandmother’s Canon XTi..  I guess he get’s it honest, because I want one as well!

Yeah I have been busy/lazy in posting on here.  I got a new job in December and I am hopelessly addicted to Call of Duty 4. Basically I have let the site go, no posts, no new pictures, etc.

If you dwell  under a rock, or don’t have a TV, you may have heard that Ohio had a Blizzard this weekend.  We spent the weekend pretty much indoors with the exception of digging ourselves out, and letting the kids play in the snow for a bit.  Oh and a quick trip to the store for some laundry supplies.

Head on over to THE GALLERY for some pictures of the carnage (and of the kids enjoying themselves) .

2 Hours in line to see Santa.  ’tis the season!  Link to Gallery

Started a new job about 3 weeks ago and my new boss came up and asked a few of us if we would like tickets to a Blue Jackets game. Everyone else was busy.

Fortunately I was not. I asked how many tickets she could get and told her I would like 4 but 2 would work. She came back about 5 minutes later with 4 tickets in hand and a red parking pass.

I took a look at em and they were club level seats. In my 30 years, I have never been to any event with tickets as good as these. Called the wife up and asked her if she wanted to go.

We had plans to take the kids to the local firehouse and see Santa. Game time, 7pm. Santa time, 7pm. She was set on going up to take the kids to see Santa and then go to the game. I was kinda bumming but the kids were excited about telling him what they wanted for xmas.

In comes the father in law to talk some guy sense into her. Needless to say, I made a deal with Paxton to take him friday to see Santa and we got to go to the game on time.

Club Level seating…. It was awesome. We had a waitress, a bathroom that was 50 feet away and no lines (good for a 2 year old bladder that has to pee every 20 minutes)

Total Spent? $61 dollars on dinner and drinks. A great present from my new boss eh?

Paxton has already asked if I can get tickets again since this was his first hockey game, he definitely wants to go again. Both kids had a great time.

I can’t believe that my youngest is already two….. (and talking, potty trained, counting to 10 etc) Happy Birthday Parker!
