Trip to Yosemite with the homies, Tuolomne Meadows

Great trip besides the altitude sickness. This video should provide some insight on the ongoings at camp. Glad to have the same group going every year. They're always up for the torture of the wilderness.


A bear ran thru the outside boundary of our campsite and scared the crap out of everyone. Everyone was panicked but I kept my calm. I just jumped into the minivan.

Luke's 3rd Birthday

2009 Luke 3 year old retrospective video from jim on Vimeo.

This is a music video made up of Luke's 3rd year. Lots of scenes including the beach, camping, dog boarding (not a dog torturing technique, bye the way), falling, stumbling. Pretty soon he'll get to old for these videos. "Enjoy them while they're cute", is what other parents tell me. One thing will never change, he'll allways be my son...right!

04/2009 Lynams Visit the Bay Area

These are pictures from the Lynams visit to the Bay Area

this is luke hitting his 1st homer at pac bell park. I kinda feel like a bad parent because he's been to more giants games than a's games. We're an A's family and thats that. Its just that our buddy gives us giants preseason tix and luke digs the slide there.

Mom and the Rayes visit for dinner on a friday night. Luke plays well with girls his age. No fighting. No possessiveness.
