Spring started with a weekend with family. Check out the “First Weekend of Spring 2010” album for those pictures.
Looks like someone got their fingernails painted.
Kelli took a night and went to visit the Shadrick family.
Cecelia put on a fashion show…
While younger sister Carolyn instigated trouble.
At the Melting Pot one evening for a special beer event.
Sam Adams beer was being served….
There were some freebies to be had…..
And good food to be eaten.
Chillaxin’ at the work office.
Band night at the house.
Brian was thinking of getting another car……
So I rode along to give him a second opinion of don’t buy (it needed a lot of work).
Kelli was just happy to see Brian!!
A dip in the hottub with some aromatherapy.
Kelli and I love good food…..
And interesting champagne glasses…..
So we went to Flemings for lobster……
And seared tuna.
At an intimate concert setting, Kelli got to meet Allison Miller!!!!
After the show we hung around and met…..
Todd Sickafoose, too!!!!
Kelli, of course, bought a CD and had it signed.
It was a great night!!!!
Check out the “Victoria Vox @ Metro Gallery – Baltimore, MD” album for more Victoria Vox pictures.
Someone hanged themselves to death in the stairway of Kelli’s office. No lie.
Taylor tried to stay up late with Mathew and I….
But as usual, coudn’t hang.
It’s Easter, and time to dye eggs.
Kristi was having fun making faces….
All day long.
The girls paid no mind, and just focused on the prep work.
With the eggs ready…
It was time to make more faces…
And dye some eggs.
The Edwards clan.
Kelli was calling them her tye dye eggs.
Ew-la-la.
Of course, kids tend to be a little……
Messy!!!!
OK, enough Easter egg pictures.
Peter came over for some drinking one night, and was happy to pose for me.
Busted!!!!!!!
Yeah, that light is red.
Furniture shopping for the Ocean City Condo.
Bobby, Josh, and Cousin Robert helped me move in the new goods.
It was time to get rid of the old stuff.
So much better now.
Check out the “Pompous Pie @ Pickles – Ocean City, MD” album for more Pompous Pie pictures.
Classic Taxi picked us up from Pickles….
And took us to Fager’s Island…
Where we danced the night away!!!
Haaeeeeyyyyy, am I drunk and annoying yet?
The alcohol was in full effect.
Well, it was time to go home….
And Kelli seems to have caught me relaxing on the love seat.
A little thing about Kelli, she has a foot fetish for my feet.
Keep in mind, Kelli was taking these pictures at 2:30am….
But Riley is cute any time of the day.
Easter morning, and they dragged me out. OMG, I was soooooo hung over.
A walk on the beach, and somone had left an Easter bunny.
Kelli hit Melting Pot for ladies night with some co-workers.
Maggie poses for a shot.
Ladies love fondue.
Feelin’ the love after a few drinks.
Kelli spent the night at her sister’s, and helped the kids get ready for school the next morning.
Proving that birds do in fact have a bird brain.
Chris came over one evening….
And we played with the settings on the cameras.
Brian and I made a trip to see Steve Kilgallon one night.
He is working on setting up a recording studio…..
In his garage.
It will be interesting to see what it looks like when it is done.
Xenon Scream, for those who remember.
They had some great music.
Out with Peter and Kristi, but this seems to be the only picture I took.
Krisit and I took the kids for a walk to the playground….
Where Ashley tried to kick me in the face.
Sophia watched from a safe distance.
The time has come for the training wheels….
To come off the bike.
Ashley’s elementary school…
And while Sophia played…..
Ashley learned to ride a bike…..
All by herself without the training wheels!!!
Ashley took Kristi for a run.
By the end of the day she was doing laps around the parking lot with only a little help getting started.
Fun times!!!!
A Sunday Morning in Baltimore finds us….
Finding Brian playing football.
Check out that action shot!!!!
Well hello, ladies!!!!
Mind if I join you?
We went out for drinks with them after the game…
And after having a short amount of time…..
Headed back to Brian’s house.
Brian has a trampoline….
And what better thing to do after a few drinks…
After all that, it was time to relax.
Kelli had to come and ruin the fun.
Krystal’s birthday….
And to Bonefish we went.
Happy Birthday!!!
Clearly a child with a camera.
Bare Bones to see Steve Kilgallon play some music.
Co-workers from Wendy’s…..22 years ago.
Packet pickup for Cylde’s, and the shirt looks great!!
I went to see my Brother-in-law, Dave, play lacross one night.
For a bunch of old guys, they don’t take it easy.
A shot on goal by Dave.
Taking a quick break to make an adjustment….
And then on to getting blamed for a season ending injury.
Riley and Emmit had a play date…..
While Peter and I went to see Dave’s son Mark play lacrosse.
While he eluded the defenders….
It wasn’t enough to score a goal that day.
The whole outing…..
Is quite….
The family….
Event.
Hanging out with the “not dicks”….
For some continued drinking.
Then it was back to pickup Riley…
But not before spending time with my youngest niece, Jillian.
Really, how many does one child need?
Don’t worry, Jillian, I won’t take your cups.
Stolen images from the Clyde’s 10K.
For what it’s worth…

After the race, we headed to the post race event…..
I ran one of my best times with a pace of 7:55 per mile.
lt was cold, but the beer helped keep us warm.
Not the ones we know, but my foot blocked the unimportant.
Centennial High School class of ’90!!!
Of course 20 minutes later we found Donnie.
Ashley’s birthday at Chuck E. Cheese.
There were lots of fun games to play…
And lots of fun people to play them with.
Chuck E. Cheese is no doubt “Where a kid can be a kid”.
Of course with Ashley turning 6…..
She was allowed to get her ears pierced.
But she decided at the last minute not to get them done….
So we bought her a birthday present instead.
Ashley was one of the few from her school to have her artwork presented at The Mall in Columbia.
And what birthday would be complete without some chocolate?
Later that night, Kelli and I swung by my parents house to say hello.
10 years in my house, and I’m finally burying the sump pump pipes.
Bringing in the heavy equipment was a huge help that made the process much easier.
Of course the work wasn’t too hard for me, as I wasn’t the one doing it!!!
You can just make out Taylor in this picture of his karate class.
The kids love riding in the Jeep.
Check out the “Guys Weekend April 2010” album for more of those pictures.
Check out the “The Electric Co. @ The Steer Inn” album for more of those pictures.
After our ride, we went and got some treats.
Even Riley got some doggy ice cream.
Kelli met some coworkers at Nottinghams one night.
They do a lot of happy hours.
Rick scores big at Keno.
So did Kelli.
A good time was had by all.
Kelli met up with Kelly and friends at Phoenix for Connie’s bachlorette party.
Kelly had a special cask brought in from Clipper City.
Doug loves having has picture taken.
Jeni set the whole event up.
Good times.
It was time for Taylor to move up in his karate class.
He was going from a white belt….
To an orange belt.
So after showing Master Dan what he can do one on one……
Proving his worth, the time had come to receive his orange belt.
Nobody bothers me!!!!
Afterwards I hung out at Mathew’s house.
Kelli on a morning run with Ross at Centennial Park.
Peter’s party, and the note on the cake was funny.
Good times at Peter’s.
Hanging out with family one afternoon…..
When we got back it was time for cake to celebrate Kelli’s mother’s birthday.
Another night with my brother and the kids, because you can never get enough family. 😛
Bridey shows off her mountain biking bruises.
Which made Kelli want to get into mountain biking.
Out for an afternoon at Iron Bridge Wine…..
And they seem to be racist towards whites in their tastings.
Sophia tries to fill some big shoes.
No snowball today, just ice cream to end part 1 of the Spring 2010 pictures.
