Cameron's Birthday Party

2010-02-07T22:15:00.002-05:00

Better late than never, right? We finally got around to throwing Cameron a proper birthday party (He turned 5 right after Christmas). We had the party at Muvico theaters and saw The Tooth Fairy. I think all the kids had a great time:

Gasparilla

2010-01-30T21:10:00.002-05:00

It was windy, rainy, & chilly for the Gasparilla Parade this year. The weather was OK in the morning, when we met up with old friends at the UT brunch. The Royal Krewe of Sparta named Dad honorary King of the Krewe for 2010 and presented him with a ceremonial helmet. The weather deteriorated rapidly once we arrived at the staging area on Bayshore and waited for the parade to begin. We stood around in wind & drizzle for a couple hours until it was finally time to move out. We were wondering if anyone would show up to watch the parade, but there were plenty of people lining the route. Here are a few photos:

Cameron's Hockey Practice

2010-01-23T21:36:00.001-05:00

It's amazing how much Cameron's skating has progressed since he started playing hockey in the Fall. He must have fallen 100 times during his first practice, but he kept getting back up. Now, he is gliding around, chasing the puck with the best of them. I've uploaded some new photos from his hockey practice on the boy's sport mini-site:

Megan & Mommy Come Home

2010-01-14T21:37:00.000-05:00

Megan & Michele finally came home from this hospital on Thursday afternoon. The boys were SO excited to see them both. We spent a lot of time on the living room sofa taking turns holding Megan. They couldn't get enough!

I've started a mini-website just for Megan photos on Shutterfly. I will update it with new photos now and then, so bookmark it and check back often:

Kart Racing

2009-12-30T22:01:00.000-05:00

Brandon & I joined a few of my buddies for some Kart racing in Palmetto on Wednesday afternoon. These were not your typical kiddie go-carts. These were serious racing machines that topped 40mph on the back stretch. We all had tons of fun and Brandon did great. Can't wait to go back!

The Airplane Owners & Pilot's Association is having their 1st Annual Summit in Tampa this year and they have a lot of aircraft on display at Peter O Knight Airport this weekend. Michele and I went over for a little while on Thursday afternoon and then I went back at dawn on Friday to see the hot air balloon launch. It was too windy to launch, but they inflated the balloon and I got some nice photos. Here is a link to all the pictures: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AaNmLhw0atWPN
