Here are some of the pictures taken at Levi's soccer game yesterday. The first is right at the beginning of the game. The last few were just some I took of Tom (Levi's dad and my uncle) while he was coaching. Thought I would have a little fun with him. Not sure who the unofficial winner of this game was. Levi's team scored alot the first half but the other team scored alot the second half. So I guess...call it a tie.

Just a couple of pics of the whole team on the sidelines.

You guys need to go this way!

I said go this way!!!

No no no!! I really meant THIS way!

Hey all! Sorry there hasn't been any updates in awhile but not much else has been going on. Jen has been understandably tired the last few days. Actually in the last couple of days she has started getting the sick to her stomach feeling. She is doing ok though.

We are going to be going to Levi's soccer game again today. I'm taking my older Minolta 35mm camera to take some pictures and finish off a roll of film that has been in it forever. Once I get those developed I'll post a few of them up for y'all. (Hey, I live in GA. now, I can say "y'all" if I want to.) Actually I am going to be putting that camera up for sale on ebay probably. So if anyone may be interested and wants more information about it, just let me know in the comments section.

You probably also noticed that our blog has changed it's look. I have to give the Castruccio's credit for that. I saw their blog and that they had changed up their look and I thought that it would be a good idea to do that to mine as well. I was getting a little tired of the circles anyway. (So yeah, I copied you guys!! ;-p)

Big News!!!
Many of you already know but for those who don't Jen and I are pregnant!! We found out in August but haven't really started making it widely known till just the other day after our first Dr.'s appt. The appt. went really well. The baby is healthy and our due date is April 21st. Jen is doing well but is just really tired alot right now. She isn't really getting sick but her stomach does hurt sometimes, especially in the evenings. We'll I'm sure there is more that I'm supposed to tell everyone but you know how us guys are, we never have all the information. Check out the pics below and I'm sure if I left out anything, Jen will post it soon.

Here are the pictures of our first ultrasound. In each of them, the baby is upside down. You can make out his/her tiny nub legs at the top. The second picture also includes a picture of the sound of the baby's heartbeat. We got to hear the heartbeat at the time. Definitely strong! At week 20 we get another ultrasound and for that one they told us to bring a VHS tape and we will get a video of it plus the sound of the heartbeat. I am going to try and make a video file from the VHS tape and hopefully be able to make it available on the blog for everyone.

Realized today that I had forgotten to put a Gas Prices icon up for Houston. So that has been added. There are no icons for St. Charles, St. Peters, or O'Fallon MO. so I just added links for those areas right above the Gas Prices icons on the left. Clicking on any of those links or icons will pop open another window that will show the location of the gas stations with specific gas prices. Just trying to help us all find cheaper places for gas. It's a calling.

I haven't been able to find anything for gas prices in/around Salem, MO. or Weeki Wachee, FL.

To answer the question I'm sure you are all wondering....at least my mom was. Officially no one won the soccer game. At this age they don't keep score. Unofficially though, Levi's team won. I don't know the exact score though.

Pics from Levi's game

 

 

 

Today is my little cousin Levi's first soccer game of the year. His dad Tom is the coach. They both enjoy it alot and we like to go and watch Levi play. Hopefully later on I'll be able to post a pic or 2 from the game.

Unfortunately I had to apply even more restraints to combat the spam posts in the comments. Even requiring the posters be registered wasn't stopping it. Unfortunately, now when you post, you will be shown a picture of a word. You will then have to type in the word shown to be able to actually post your comment.

Again, I am sorry for all of this but, I don't want to have to weed through all the spam comments and I am sure you all don't want to read them. Actually though, I think I am going to try turning on anonymous posts again along with the word verification to see if I can still at least allow anonymous posts but still require the anonymous person to do the word verification to actually be able to post.

Thanks for bearing with me.

A good friend of mine, James, showed me a site that gives gas prices for different cities. They have some code that lets me put the images on the left that you see with different cities gas prices. I put the ones up for our friends and family in Atlanta, St. Louis, the Va. Beach/Hampton area, and yep even for Omaha (just for you dad! ;-)). To get more info about where the stations are with those prices, click the image for your area and it will take you to the page, listing the gas stations, their location, and prices. Maybe this can be helpful to you.

Sorry but I had to turn off anonymous postings. We have started getting 'spam' postings in our comments and I don't feel like weeding through all of them. Sorry for the inconvenience but to post from now on, you'll have to register a username.
