I guess when your 10...

kids cups are not "cool" any more. Gimme a break, you can refill it! Ethan asked for a regular cup at dinner the other night. He even said it was because he was a 10 year old now.

So what's next? I'm sure there will be a lot of growing up in the next year....for both of us.

Easter at ballpark #2

Ethan on the other hand watched a lot of the game. He also hung out by the dugout before the game and got nine signatures on a D-backs baseball. He was pretty stoked about that. It was great to get out to one of the last spring training games of the season. Ethan was really looking forward to it.

Easter at the ballpark

After church we rushed out to the Brewers spring training stadium in Phoenix. The Diamondbacks were "visiting" from Tucson. As usual Samantha didn't watch a single pitch. But she had a good time hanging out with Ethan and I.

Is your computer backed up?

This is the computer geek in me coming out, have you backed up your computer lately? I ask because of an incident that happened this week. I helped out a friend (I will leave them un-named) recover family photos from their computer. Without warning their computer crashed. They were lucky because I was able to repair some of the corruption and retrieve the files.

Save your self from the horror of losing all of the stuff on your computer, back it up! If you don't know how, ask me and I can give you some simple suggestions.

Cub Scout Overnighter in Bumblebee AZ

Ethan and I had a fun weekend in Bumblebee, Arizona. Ten minutes north of Black Canyon City is a freeway exit to no-where, oh whoops, I meant Bumblebee. Just off the freeway and down a very curvy road we started to see many weekend warriors with off-road Jeeps and ATVs. Within a mile we were on dirt, not gravel, it was just dirt!. After a mile I had to pull off so the truck barreling down on me, with tires larger than my car, didn't run me over. After four miles on a bumpy, dirty, windy road we arrived at the ranch. The ranch is a working ranch right out of the old west. There were six cubs scouts and their families that made the trip. The boys hiked, target shot with BB guns, fished, roasted marshmallows, rough-housed, and generally had a good time together. I will try to post pictures later.
