Muscle Beach

I think this pic speaks for itself.

Couple of Pics

No time for small talk today. Just a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. Don't we look innocent though? This was probably taken about 5 seconds after we knocked over a book shelf or something.

7 Months Old

It has been an eternity since I have posted. I am a busy man with many things on my plate, and I apologize. Here are some recent pictures of Chloe. She is really cool and we get along great - ever since she agreed to let me in on her plan of global domination.

Christmas 2005

Christmas was great times this year. I got more crap than I know what to do with, but I loved every minute. One of my favorites was this bus. It came with everything, including the clown you see riding along with me in the picture. Not really, that is my uncle Greg - but I like to bust his chops once in awhile.

ND Pep Rally

This was truly one of the greatest nites of my young life. I took my parents to the pep rally before the USC game, and they had it in the stadium. Seriously, very cool - I highly recommend checking it out. You can't see him, but in the center of this picture, speaking at the podium - is the greatest of the great...Joe Montana. Sure the game broke my heart and I might never recover, but on this night, nothing could touch the Irish in my book.

Here we are

Just a random picture of me with the little tike. Why is my shirt off you ask? To show off my enormous pipes - that's why.

My Sister

First of all, my most sincere apologies for the incredibly long delay in updating my blog. As the following entries will show, I have been incredibly busy helping my mom and dad cope with another kid in the house. This is my sister Chloe! She is really cool - much cooler than I anticipated. She was born June 9th, at 7:50 PM. She was 7 lbs and 15 oz., and 21 inches long. I must say I am a big fan, even if she does eat up my spotlight.

Chloe

This is a pretty recent shot of Chloe. I apologize for the redundancy with the pictures, but she is basically taking up all my thoughts and time. She is doing really well - but for some reason all she wants is for my mom to take her shirt off...kind of weird.

A little TLC

I'm sure for most men, these pictures would be a source of embarrassment. As for me, I am entirely secure with myself and am proud to display how much I love my little sister. It is harder and harder for me to say, as she has currently completed about 20% of her evil plot to take over my life and kick me to the curb. Unbeknownst to her, I am hip to this game and will not be taken down without a fight. But she is cute though, I will give her that.

First Bath

Ah, I remember my first bath like it was yesterday. Such abuse - stripping me down, getting me all chilly, dabbing me with a damp cloth...ridiculous. From the sounds of the screaming, Chloe enjoyed it about as much as I did. Also, not to beat a dead horse, but you can see below the way this girl is looking at me. I can read her eyes, and they are saying, "Soon you will be under my control...all in good time." Either that or she just wants to chew on my hand, but I have a pretty good feeling it is the whole plot to destroy me thing.

Back by popular demand

I know this is 6 months over due - so sue me. This was my halloween costume for 2004. Pretty classic I must say. I agree it would have been more complete with a pony, but my dad has been a real tight wad lately.

All grownsed up

This is part of my morning routine as I prepare myself to face the day. This comes right after my morning coffee, and right before I watch the today show. Why is it that more things don't come in a toothpaste flavor? Man that stuff tastes good.

Now that the weather is nice, (about time - ya heard?) it is time to take this show outside. Sun up to sun down, I want to play outside, bottom line. This sandbox promises to provide hours of good times this summer, along with throwing 200 passes a day through a hanging tire and shooting 500 free throws.

My new ride

This is probably the greatest means of transporation I have going right now. Nothing I love more than rolling up in this bad boy. I took it off some sweet jumps and got like 3 feet of air.

My little brother....or sister

We went to the doctor today to check on the new baby. Everything seemed good to go to everyone else, but apparently I'm the only one that noticed that this kid looks just a little bit like an alien. Whatever I guess, these guys supposedly know what they are doing. I am really excited to have someone new to play with!

Playing in the Snow

Today was the first time I have been able to play in the snow all year. It was good times, and my dad said that "As long as its not colder than your mother after I make her mad outside, you can play in the snow." Pops also pulled me up and down the street in my new sled, and he promptly had 3 very minor heart attacks in rapid succession.

Wishful Thinking

I'll be honest with you. I didn't have many chances to signal touchdown during Bears games this year. In fact, it was down right ugly. But even though I was 18 years late for the 85 Super Bowl, I can still picture it in my mind...and the hope that it could happen again is enough to keep me coming back for more next season.

Mom and Pop

Just thought I would throw the parents a bone here. After all, they do provide for me in every feasible way - so this is the least I can do. This is the fam in downtown Indy just before Christmas.

The Entire Family

Here are a couple of pictures of my entire family. The picture above is my dad's side, the one below is my mom's side at my Aunt Gretchen and Uncle Jimmy's wedding. I would list everyone's name - but give me a break...there isn't enough time in the day.

Newhouse

Christmas 2004

Christmas was sweet this year. I got the coolest stuff. That is Thunder that you see me riding in the picture. I also got golf clubs that I swing like nunchuks. I have severly injured my dad 4 different times with the driver. I got to see about a million people as well, the whole fam, and a bunch of friends. Even Uncle Jimdog was in from Maryland, so that was good times catching up with him. Below is a picture of me cheesing it up as usual in front of the Christmas tree.
