The title kinda speaks for itself. These two are now 14 and 12 years old and they STILL fight and tease each other (LOL).
Brandon and Nicholas discuss their day
Taken on 052607 (over the Memorial Day weekend) using my new Flip Video camcorder, which is about the size of a regular digital camera. It takes great video and transfers directly to my laptop through the USB port quickly and easily. Brandon discusses what he did over the weekend and Nicholas recalls seeing a brush fire in the valley.
Alexandra & Stacy Take Off to Washington, D.C.
The girls were videotaped at SFO getting ready to catch an 11:05 PM flight to Washington, D.C. Alexandra and Stacy will be in D.C. for one week visiting all the historical sites with 100 or so other kids from their school. I was working onsite and filmed this using my new Flip Video camcorder.
Tribute to My Mom: Belated Mother's Day Remembrance
This was one of the first slideshows I put together using Photostory. I had just scanned some old pictures of my mother, who passed away back in 1983. I really just wanted to practice using the software and threw this together in about 10 minutes. I added a song by Chris Botti with Paula Cole on vocals - I didn't think it would turn out this touching. Guess I didn't realize how much I missed her. Note, the opening is an audioclip of a message my mother left me on my old answering machine reminding me to set my clock back for Daylight Savings Time...hehehe, funny how the silliest things mean so much years later. (smile)
Ryan & Maria - It Might Be You...
This is a slideshow created for Valentine's Day. The song is by India.Arie.
Did you see American Idol last night?
I think Melinda Doolittle got robbed. She should NOT have been booted off American Idol. She is by far the BEST singer. SEE YouTube.com video below.
Cameron and I attend GAME 4 of the NBA Playoffs
In celebration of Cameron's birthday, he and I went to Game 4 of the NBA Playoff between our Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz. The only seats left were in the luxury boxes (oh, poooooooooor us ;-) We have a terrific time...too bad our team loss. Well, it was still a pretty awesome experience!
Lexi Dancing "Get It Shawty"
This video was taken last night at Alexandra's school's Talent Show. She did GREAT! Enjoy...
Blogging from the WaterPark
Okay, I KNOW I've never done THIS before? The boys wanted to go to the local waterpark today (it's getting up into the 80s here), so here I am (white as a ghost) sitting under the shade blogging on RyanYee.net (hehehe). Oh, don't worry, I'm going into the water sometime during the next four hours (grin). But, since I haven't done a very good job keeping my blog up-to-date lately, I figured this would be as good a time as any...so here we go...
First of all, I am SUCH the nerdboy...I'm blogging on my wireless laptop, I'm watching TV on Slingbox, AND I'm listening to XM Satellite Radio. I have two books with me that I plan to read between now and 4PM. As Maria would say, you are SUCH the nerd! I'm really not that bad, but I can't help but take advantage of ALL technologies that we have available at our fingertips.
...the sad thing is that I just bought my 9-year-old a small, on-sale laptop and he's rapidly continuing the nerdboy tradition (LOL).
Back at the waterpark, there's only a baby and his mother and some young boy swimming laps. We are the ONLY people here in this huge waterpark. It just opened for free swimming at 12 noon, but it's already 12:30 with no one else in sight. LOL, this is going to be fun! Nicholas is playing splash on the steps of the pool while Brandon is snorkling (don't ask...) and Cameron is swimming under water. They're having a terrific time.
Speaking of Cameron, he and I are going to celebrate his birthday with our wonderful Golden State Warriors. I have tickets in the luxury box for Game 4 of the Round 2 Playoffs. Just found out last night that we're facing the Utah Jazz (sorry Houston, we would have liked to see Yao Ming, too!). I've never been in a luxury box before and my friend Violett thinks I'm more excited than the birthday boy (LOL), which is probably the truth! I'll let you all know how nice it was...do you think rich folk mind someone with a digital camera snapping away? LOL!
Well, my work is done here...blogging out. Have a wonderful week everyone!
