I shall grace you with my presence on Saturday of great Godess, not presents! LOL

I am happy in your presence, but I really like presents. Kristy and I are girls and you slaves...um, I mean...you men, should provide them. Isn't that one of your functions in life?

That chipmunk picture is great!
I am looking forward to the gardens on Sat. don't think i can make the zoo part though, the new hospital on 60 and Higley is having an open house and the wife and I are going to check it out since that is where we are going to be when our baby is born (I need to figure out which door to drive to and where to park and all) Do any of you bring tripods to outings like the gardens? I just got a new one (parents sent it down here for my birthday) I am going to go try it out later today at the Water Ranch Park in Gilbert. They got me the Manfrotto 3021BPRO with a 322RC2 ball head. it looks like everyone gets the 488RC2, is that one better? I kind of like the little pistol grip on the 322 tho. So here is a pic of what i have gotten for my birrthday (its on the 28th, but i just open them as UPS brings them)

jealous, heck no. just sounds strange, but it's cool. Hope I didn't sound like I was being rude or anything. Have fun with the new toys.

I didn't take it as rude or anything, I am just kind of a smart a$$ sometimes. I am pretty broke right now so I will accept photo gear from whoever wants to donate it to me. plus i told my mom that the better gear I have the better the pics of her granddaughter will be (since I am an only child I am also the only source of grandchildren for her) I gave her a nice list of gLass too, but none of that yet.
Kristy- my wife doesn't think she looks like a cute pregnent lady, so I don't know how I am going to convince her to get infront of the camera...?

Let me put a short slideshow up for you later this week when I have some extra time...

Pregnant is beautiful.. it's all about the belly... the belly is beautiful. And she will regret if she has no photos to remember it by. I'll even help you guys for fun and practice.

After she see's the slideshow all of her womanly emotions will come crashing through and she'll realize she must have photos done... I've done beautiful pregnant, chubby pregnant, and average pregnant.. they are all beautiful... it's a magical moment in a life.. it's one of those once or twice in a lifetime things... a milestone.. that must be remembered and remembered with emotion.... we can create it... "Build it and they will come"...

I want new toys... You're are a spolied man Rutha.... even though your screen name sounds like a woman.. I'm so confused about you....

My screen name is a nickname that has followed me since i was a sophomore in high school, we had tape on our football helmets and the coach got tired of saying (yelling) RUTHERFORD! so he walked over and tore off the last half of my name, then he decided rutha sounded better than ruth, and its followed me everywhere since. hope this helps clear up your confusion

nice to hear the story behind it. what position did you play?

guard and tackle on O and tackle D, tried ouside linebacker one year, that was kind of fun too, but I liked the fight on the line!

It's still down this morning. Are you looking for something in particular? Is it something one of us might be able to answer?
