So every night I get the job of playing with Morgan and getting her ready for bed. Typically that consists of holding her and making faces and then changing her diaper and dressing her in her PJs so she can eat and go to bed. Well she has become more active and energetic so it takes more to make her "tired." So this is the result of one night with her pig (a gift from her Daddy) but it was too cute, so check it out :)
To see her Jumping Check out Liz's Blog.
This picture I was playing around with depth of field at my parents while my dad was irrigating. At first I thought it was odd, but it gave the effect I was after. Then after I looked at with Liz and my sister Stephi I realized I actually liked it. I even water marked it :) 
This Picture is from a Saturday trip on the light rail into downtown Phoenix. This is the water fountains at the Arizona Center (which is really cool, its like a small garden/park in the middle of several buildings). I actually had to use Photoshop to take out a leg of one of her brothers, can you tell?
Now this one I did not take (thus I did not watermark it) but we do own the copyright to it with our photographer Mark Loper who I met years before we got married when he did pictures for our family. He is awesome and a really great guy. He was a lot of help with our wedding because that is what he specializes in. Anyway he took the photo. I just pulled it into Photoshop and played with the colors and Liz wanted me to post it (I think she like to remember the day that the world revolved around her, which of course everyday since has:) she is so beautiful!)
As you can see I was neat freak and covered all of the cables is wire wrap to keep it clean. The fans is the case have blue lights (not really by a choice of mine, I'm not really into that, but it was standard, but now it is growing on me).
The system is complete. The cost of parts was a little over $1000 but it was fun and well worth it. In basic it has :
I love that case, it is well ventilated, the front is nothing but a screen so I have no heat issues at all. I also added a 200GB Seagate drive as a storage drive for my crap (as Liz calls it). I just think it look slick :)
So in case you can't tell, I like movies! I like them so much that I created my own theatre in the backyard, ok its my parents backyard, since I don't have one (maybe someday). This picture isn't the best, but you can get the idea. It consists of 12ft inflatable screen (starter purchased from Wal-Mart Online). I had to build some stands with my Dad's help to raise it up off the ground for better viewing. It is easily illuminated with a Toshiba DLP projector. Now my favorite part would be the sound system. Mind you its not surround sound, but good solid stereo sound. Its a 700 watt (2 x 150 watt satellite and a 400 watt sub). It's a B-52 Matrix 1000 V2, look it up some time- very nice. Got a great deal on it to, thanks to Guitar Canter :) (look, free advertising!) It packs down into a few cases for transportation and storage, its really cool, at least I think so :) On top of that Liz and I chill through the movie in our Love Sac (nothing better, she can sleep and I have fun). I hope to improve upon it in the future with a larger and solid frame screen, a better mixing board, and maybe some more Love Sacs!! I would also like to work on a slamin surround sound setup, but probably more of a cool idea then plausible, at least how I would do it :)
