Anna's Birthday

So last weekend we attended our friend's 3rd birthday party. Her name is Anna and she is as cute as could be.
This is the first time I have shot in RAW format. I haven't touched the photos up yet so check back later for some updated shots. So far I really like shooting in RAW, the image that you get is great and the options on editing 'after the fact' is amazing.

Anna's Birthday

Work humor

Last Friday while walking through the break room, I came across a note on the fridge. I just couldn't help but stop and take a picture. Someone appears to have had enough!

Easter

We didn't have any plans this year for Easter and Hayden wasn't feeling too well. He was trying to get over a double ear infection that made the doctor literally go "Wow". So my brother and his wife invited us over for dinner with him and his in-laws. We had a great time. Check out the pictures in the slide show.

St. Patrick's Day

So I am a little behind, but that is okay. I just wanted to post some cute pictures of my boy wearing his green!



Here he is with his aunt and uncle enjoying lunch at Poe's on Sullivan's Island.



First time eating applesauce!



Such a big beautiful smile.



Ahhhhhh! Daddy is haul'n...

That is it for now. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Meatballs (Turkey)

We found a unique recipe for meatballs online and decided to try them out, but using ground turkey instead. I would have called them turkey balls but that just sounds bad.



Here they are sitting in the freezer. The mixture contains ground turkey, diced onion, oats, milk, salt, and pepper. I used a small cookie dough scoop, but you could use your hands.



Now roll the balls in some flour and place back on the sheet. I won't go into detail on how to do this, I would hope that you could figure it out by yourself.


Now cook them quickly on 2 side in a skillet with a small amount of oil. You just want to slightly brown them, don't cook them through.



After they are brown place them into a casserole dish for sauce'n and bake'n.


The sauce is made of ketchup, diced onion, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and a dash of hot sauce.


Pour the sauce on and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.


Now enjoy!

Skype for iPhone

Skype just release a free iPhone app. It looks pretty slick. My first impression is great, but I haven't tried voice out yet.

Currently voice is only supported on wifi, but rumor is that with the iPhone 3.0 update it will be supported on 3G as well.

Once I get some time to play around with it I will report back here and let you know the outcome. Meanwhile enjoy this video:

iPhone

So I got my iPhone and I love it. I don't know why I waited so long to pick on up, but I don't think I can ever go back to a regular phone.

I am anxiously waiting for the next version of the OS to be released. Hopefully I will be able to sync with my office exchange server and connect to the office secured wifi. If I can do these 2 things I would say the iPhone is the perfect device for me.

There are some short comings that really do bother me such as the lack of mms. I don't why my wife's $30 phone can take a picture and send it to other camera phones, but by $500 iPhone can't. I understand that I can email the photo, but that doesn't really meet my needs. I guess I will have to wait until Apple comes up with some form of mms. There are workarounds but I really don't think there should be a need to have a workaround.

Here is the link for the workaround: http://www.modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/MMS_Email_Addresses

After July 11th when the update comes out I will post up a review. Until then I will be enjoying my iPhone!
