Spring starts with a picture of everyone in my company, Port25 Solutions, Inc.
Mark and I doing some drinking and video game playing in my basement.
At Megan and Peter’s new house, everyone got measured on their door.
The door included measurements from the previous owners.
Kinda like being in the dog house.
I went to my cousin Robert’s house for his and my grandfather’s birthday celebration.
He has a great house in southern Maryland.
Everyone gathered round for the gift opening…
Which wasn’t too exciting for Mike.
My Father and my niece Amber enjoy a moment together.
Happy Birthday!!!!
The birthday boys.
To make all my family happy…
I have included…
All of the pictures….
of various people….
So they can decide…
Which pictures they want….
And which pictures they don’t.
Is everyone….
Happy…
yet?
Ok, we’re done with these, time to move onto the….
Adult fun.
The name says it all.
You put Jello in the middle, and then
One person sucks, and the other blows.
Anyone want one?
BTW, in case you don’t know what my website is about.
There was Jello everywhere…
and I ended up spending the night.
Out drinking and eating somewhere for April Fools day.
Easter Eggs at Kristi’s…
And then it was bath time.
Kelli and I headed to OC for the weekend, and this was our first stop when we got there.
The fish tacos alone are worth the trip.
Robert and Bobbie Jo were also in town that weekend.
And it wasn’t long before the alcohol started kicking in.
Wazzup ya’ll!!!
Nice, ummmm….stop light shooter.
Green…
Yellow…
Red.
Hammered, both of ’em.
The next morning we went to Easter brunch together.
I don’t remember the name of the place, but the cream of crab was GREAT!!!!
This is where Robert’s place is in Ocean City.
He’s got himself a nice condo….
And some great guests.
We hung out in Fish Tales again for a while before heading home.
The Easter basket Kelli had made for me when we got home.

Scott came that night and hung out on the tour bus with us.
Find Scott.
Kristi tries to cover the fact that she has a mouth full of food at….
Ashley’s birthday party.
She was turning 3 years old.
One dreary Sunday morning, the out-laws and I ran a water stop for the Clydes 10K.
We didn’t let the rain get to us….
And I missed Kelli as she ran by, so no picture of her….
Until later that day at Taste for Life.
Just like last year, I did the photography for the event.
For more pictures from the event….
Go to the next picture….

Every house wife should have one.
Later on in the week, it was over to my brother’s for a party.
We brought some left over wine from Taste for Life…
And we all had a good time together.
Bender offers Kelli a drink.
I tried to catch the action of an intense game of beer pong.
The sister in-laws.
Scott, stylin’ in the ‘Stang.
We went over to his house so I could help him setup his new remote for his Xbox 360.
Posed or not? You decide.
Later that night, we did some drinking at the pub.
The next night was La Palapa’s…..I think.
But when drinking, does it matter?
So enjoy this one instead.
When we got home, we promptly called Scott for a night out in Ellicott City.
Kelli and her Mum pose for a quick shot….
Before Kelli and I headed to Ellicott City for…..
Some drinking with friends.
The place was John Shoemaker’s, and the drink was wine.
He has a nice patio out back.
After leaving there, it was down to the pub for more drinking.
Heading to the beach for the weekend, and I liked the misspelling.
The fridge was fully stocked…
So we started one of the all time greatest drinking games….
It’s called, do nothing while getting drunk.
The moon on the Atlantic Ocean.
Who else would it be at such a late hour?
Shortly after, Mark was down for the count.
The next day it was over to fish tales for the fish taco (seriously, you have to try them).
I will take one here or there, I will take one anywhere.
If you have a craving for sushi in Ocean City, this is the place.
Kinda makes you want some right now, doesn’t it?
Pompous Pie was in town playing that night….
So we stopped by to see T-Lutz.
The rest of those pictures are here.
Let’s just say it’s a good thing I was walking home.
Kristi wanted me to take some pictures of the kids for a Mother’s Day present to her mother…
And while Ashley was great (for the most part)…..
Getting her sister Sophia to not cry….
Wasn’t always easy.
200 pictures later, And I had a couple I could use.
A snake I found in my basement.
Breakfast on the deck.
The garden, right after I put it in this year.
Lots of stuff growing, we’ll see how it goes.
The house always looks best in Spring.
We headed down to Southern Maryland again for Bobie Jo’s birthday.
She turned 30…
And lots of friends came out to celebrate.
Hmmm, I was spelling it with three b’s.
Her father, ever so happy.
This is the Bobie Jo….
Survival kit.
Always looking good.
But not quite birthday fabulous.
The old suck and blow, but….
Either Robert blew to hard, or Kelli didn’t suck hard enough.
Once again, birthday fabulous.
Yeah, that’s what she needs.
Aunt Crissy and Cousin Robert.
One more shot of birthday fabulous.
And again, not really what she needs.
But everyone was doing it.
Some more than others.
Robert was left to clean up the trash….
While Bobie had some fun with….um….
OK, I want in on this one!!!!
I love me some beautiful women.
I swear I didn’t mean for it to happen…
And I’ll make a better effort next time….
But for now…..
Here are some more….
Family shots.
Last one.
Stewie, this is for you.
There was lots of family time this Spring….
With lots of family pictures.
Ashley and I went for a walk, and collected some flowers.
A goofy picture.
And a picture taken by Ashley.
Hmm, looks like some drinking going on….
So we headed to Fire Rock Grill……
For some pictures of Victoria Vox. Click here for more.
Scott bought every CD she had with her.
Kelli and Megan doing the monthly pink color update to Kelli’s hair.
The gift card told us to, and so we did.
On our way to see Victoria Vox again….
This show was at the Broad Street Taven in VA.
But we were late and missed the show, so we just hung out instead.
We made sure to watch the Preakness on the TV.
On the way home we stopped at Houston’s Restaurant for…
Some good eats.
Then it was on to Guitar Center so Scott…..
Could buy a bass guitar.
Wine in the woods had Kelli and I working at Penn Oaks….
And then drinking with some friends afterwards.
Why men don’t wear thongs.
I ran into my parents there, so we shared some sangria.
Wine makes people…..
Happy…
And happier.
It was a great day for relaxing.
My neighbors had a party, so we had some drinks.
Sophia’s first birthday.
I guess at this age….
It’s more for the parents….
Then the person of honor.
Kelli and I gave her some hippy dress.
Ashley helped blow the candles out.
The cake.
These shots are always so…..obligatory.
We were getting ready to leave the pub, but how could I stop drinking after Bender and Jenny showed up.
Less than a week before you could no longer smoke in the restaurants in Howard County, MD.
So we made sure to enjoy it while we could.
My brother, Taylor, and I went out for some GeoCaching….
And while we had a great hike in the woods…
We didn’t find anything. Of course, we fooled Taylor into thinking we did find something.
Hanging out with Amber, my Grandmother, and Taylor at my Grandmother’s house.
Looks like we went to the beach again.
The owners of the crabcake factory, who’s place we ended up going to later.
So after a few drinks….
We headed to the Crabcake Factory….
The mussels were good….
And so were the crabcakes.
We went to see Pompous Pie that night. Click here for those pictures.
Kelli hanging out with Ocean City’s most well known local, T-Lutz.
The next morning it was my birthday brunch at Fagers Island.
Yes, that is what I want for my birthday.
The food was OK.
And I’m not in a hurry to go back.
The next day, we went out to dinner for my birthday at….well, you read it.
The food is always good there….
So we keep coming back….
After dinner there, we stopped by….
My grandparent’s house.
They live right around the corner from the restaurant, and take guests at all hours of the night.
What is a birthday without a birthday wish.
Bridey, Peter, Kelli, and I hanging out in Ellicott City.
Annabells was the place….
And going through Bridey’s purse was the game for the evening.
That is what came OUT (as in not going back in) of her wallet.
We stumbled up the street to Tersiguel’s….
For some good fun!!!!
OPEN THE DOOR!!!!!!
And she did, just in time.
Wow, another night of drinking in Ellicott City, who would have thought?
You can still smoke outdoors, so we went to Cocoa Lane.
It started to rain, so we moved up the street to Annabells
And ran into John Shoemaker.
Hanging out with Brian at his house.
We were drinking and watching a UFC fight.
Lot’s of birthday’s in the family this time of year….
I guess everyone get’s horny in the Fall.
I got Taylor a video game system (go figure).
Columbia Lake front for the 40th anniversary of Columbia.
That’s what they were drinking…..
And this is where they were drinking. Notice the people tree?
Love that beer.
My birthday present from Kelli.
My transmission died….
So I sent it to Cousin Robert’s shop to have it fixed.
My parent’s new motor home.
Que porn music.
Seriously, the place looked like a casino.
Yeah, they’re really roughing it.
And a microwave, and a dishwasher.
Hey look, another family shot.
A nice evening out….
With my beautiful wife.
Not as good as it looks.
But this was.
Father’s day doing what men do.
50 yards.
As was typical, My brother came in third…
I came in second….
And my father had an open site bull’s eye at 100 yards.
Are you getting tired of the family pictures yet?
Later that day, it was crabs at Mathew and Erin’s.
Monkey see, monkey do, monkey get in trouble, too.
Kinda like this one.
Shortly after this picture, Uncle Scott showed Taylor a bee….
Opps, sorry Tate. Well, first bee sting…check.
Well that was Spring…..
And it was a blast.
So as the moon sets, and Venus rises, it’s time to say goodbye.
