More Tball

A couple more shots of Ryan playing baseball. I tried out some different settings on the camera with these. Well, actually, I was accidentally shooting with a high ISO but I like how the last 3 came out. Again, I love the shots of Ryan and Matt together. I didn't get those shots with Jeffery and I sure love them!

Little Slugger

Ryan had his very first baseball (T-ball) game on Saturday. He looked so adorable in his outfit. T-ball is hilarious because the majority of the kids have no idea what is going on. Ryan hit the ball off the tee twice and ran the bases. Every kid makes it home each time they bat. He liked it but about half way through the game he was asking to go home. They only play two innings but they are long innings because every kid gets to bat each inning. Matt was the first base coach during the second innning. I love the pictures of Matt and Ryan together.

Sea World

Matt took Ryan to Sea World for his birthday. Since Matt's birthday is March 2nd and Ryan's is March 3rd, Matt always takes Ryan on a little trip, just the two of them.

Matt signed them up for an attraction where they got to see a dolphin up close:










Of course, they had to go and see the Shamu show:

Ryan turns 5

Well my little man turned 5 on March 3rd. Just wanted to share some of the traditional "cake and presents" photos:












He's not quite ready to grow up yet . . . when we say he's a big boy he says, "No! I'm a medium boy!"

Permanent Locations

If I'm ever looking for them, I can usually find them here:

Red Cloud Raod

A couple of weekends ago we went camping off of Red Cloud Road. It was fun going somewhere different. On Saturday we we spent the day exploring the area. Russell and Cindy and Les and Melanie were with us. Here are some pictures of what we discovered.

We went out to a little wooden shack. Someone owns it and keeps it up.







There were bottles of fresh water and some canned goods.





They even had a guestbook for people to sign.



There was a noose hanging on the outside of the house (a warning perhaps). Melanie and Jeffery got silly.





We ventured out even further to another really cool sight. This is an old train trestle that is no longer used. Look closely and you can actually see the Salton Sea in the background at the base of the mountains.




Matt, holding Ryan, venturing out onto the trestle. Jeffery is not far behind.



Matt, Ryan, and Jeffery on the trestle. I was below, taking pictures.



Les and Melanie on the trestle.



Just some shots of the trestle. It actually looked much cooler in real life.





The boys at the base of the trestle. These didn't turn out very well, as you can see.






A couple of cool shots of a cliff against the clear blue sky:





It was a really fun day and a great weekend.

Morning Vision

I thought this picture was kind of cool. I took it very early one morning after it had snowed in the mountains the night before.
