Holiday Pictures

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for.... I've uploaded our Thanksgiving pictures and pictures from Riley's first birthday party. I even managed to include some recent family photos taken earlier this fall. You can view them by clicking the links to each category, or view them all together in my "recently added" picture page.

Halloween Pictures

Mon, 31 Oct 2005 22:19:35 -0800

I've uploaded some pictures and a video of Riley's Halloween costume this year. (Everyone that saw him thought that he was just the cutest thing ever!) I even included a couple pictures of the pumpkins that Sanni and I carved for Halloween. (I previously wrote about where I got the cool stencils, in case you want to try a neat design next year.)

Pumpkin Carving Stencils

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 22:28:26 -0800

Halloween is fast approaching. For the last couple of years, I've turned to the internet to help me with my pumpkin carvings. There are many free stencils or patterns available for download that make it relatively easy to create a memorable Jack-O-Lantern that will impress your neighbors and friends.

Riley walking and talking video

Sun, 02 Oct 2005 21:27:14 -0800

I've posted another video of Riley. This video has more walking (in case the last one left you with the impression that all he does is fall) and just some good ol' fashioned cuteness. There is a hi-res and a low-res version.

Riley refuses to give up

I've put together another video of our determined son (not too shabby for a nine month old). So turn up your speakers and enjoy!!

New pictures and videos

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 21:26:30 -0800

It's been a while since I've posted some pictures and videos---so I decided it was time to do so again. I've posted some great new shots of Riley, along with some amazing new videos of his latest "talents." And I've also included some pictures from our recent trip to Seattle to visit some friends over the 4th of July weekend. I know you can hardly wait---so go check them out!

I got a job!

Sun, 10 Jul 2005 14:56:36 -0800

Great news! Just as my one year contract with Microsoft Live Meeting was nearing its end, I've been offered a permanent, full time position with The City of Portland as a web developer.

We bought a house!

I'm a little bit slow making this announcement---you've probably already heard the rumor by now... but just in case you haven't, I want to make it official.

Even more pictures of Riley

Sun, 13 Mar 2005 20:48:51 -0800

Over the last couple of weeks I've uploaded some more pictures of Riley. So if you haven't been to the media gallery recently, there will be some new pictures for you to enjoy.

New pictures and video of Riley

Sun, 20 Feb 2005 20:52:48 -0800

I've uploaded some new pictures and a video of Riley to the media gallery. Riley is two months old now and weighs 15 lbs. Unbelievable! He's already wearing 6 month old baby clothes.

Congratulations KristiJill!

One of my sisters, KristJill, plays on the Butte High School girls basketball team. They recently placed first in districts and competed in the 2A state tournament this weekend in Boise. The team made it all the way to the championship game. I got to watch the game via the internet and it was quite an exciting game!
