Steve showing Shannon no mercy as he puts her into the glass (April 29, 2008).

Shannon feeling the abuse vibe from Steve, preys on Marianne and shoves her into the boards (April 29, 2008). Just look at the anguish and anger! Proof that not all red heads get along like we think they do.

Easter

March 23, 2008

*Me dressed in my Easter Sunday suit. I felt like dressing up that day.

*Close up of cousin Lori.

*Lori (Dad's girlfriend) waiting for something to do in the kitchen while listening to a conversation in the dining room. Don't worry; she's not an eavesdropper.

*Lori spreading the Easter cheer with a big smile.

Grandpa taking his Sunday nap; nevermind that it's a holiday! Corey plays "Guitar Hero" for some unusual Easter Sunday music.

Aunt Donna is all smiles on Easter Sunday . . . and just about everyday!

Aunt Donna displaying one of her birthday cards.

The centerpiece on the dinning room table. Those little dots wouldn't be rabbit trails would they?

Uncle John and Uncle Milt conversing before eating.

Dad leading family in prayer before enjoying a wonderfully prepared meal.

Family members making their plates of food. Look, Grandpa is awake!

Uncle John and Lori building their plates of food.

Aunt Donna's Easter-themed cake. Her tasty Easter themed cake.

Jenny and Steve talking with family in the dining room.

Snow? On Easter? You're not seeing things and no, this picture was not taken in January or some other winter month. It did in fact snow on Easter 2008.

Lori standing out in the snow on, yes, Easter Sunday.

The tie I bought and wore for Easter. It has John 3:16 printed on it; a very Easter-appropriate verse!

Spring Break

March 19–28, 2008

Playing with word magnets (March 19, 2008).

Our word magnet sentences (March 19, 2008). We changed them around a lot.

Corey giving the peace sign from the front seat (March 19, 2008).

Megan and Melissa doing the shark song dance or something or other (laughs) (March 19, 2008).

*Corey and I having a Febreze fight (March 19, 2008).

*Me waiting for Corey to come around the corner to douse him with Febreze (March 19, 2008). It's probably not a good thing to spray an aerosol can that close to an outlet (laughs).

**Corey posing without sunglasses (March 19, 2008).

**Corey posing with the sunglasses (March 19, 2008).

Corey doing the Captain Morgan pose . . . and apparently it worked (laughs) (March 19, 2008). The funny thing was that they saw him do this while looking at pictures on his camera and simultaneously put their hands there without planning to do it at the same time. Funny stuff.

Megan's got cones on her mind . . . what could she possibly be thinking of doing with that expression on her face? Surely nothing an elementary teacher wouldn't do ;) (March 19, 2008).

Melissa checking out the noodles (March 19, 2008).

Checking out Matt's new car (March 21, 2008).

***Jenny checking herself out in the "Cinderella Dress" (March 24, 2008).

Jenny wearing what we called "The Cinderella Dress" (March 24, 2008). We all knew just by her face that this dress, only the second or third one she tried on, was going to be the one she went with. She had the best reaction to it.

Jenny is all smiles in the "Cinderella Dress" (March 24, 2008).

Lori and I taking a picture together while Jenny tries on another dress (March 24, 2008).

Jenny wearing the "Cinderella Dress" with a veil (March 24, 2008). Dad has done so many weddings that he knows a thing or two about what looks good from a photography perspective and a lot about weddings. Lori helped with dresses and another source of advice.

The "Cinderella Dress" complete with veil (March 24, 2008).

Lori taking it easy while Jenny looks at another dress (March 24, 2008).

One of the dresses Jenny tried on that had a super long train (March 24, 2008).

Another wedding dress that Jenny tried on (March 24, 2008). She tried on about six or seven that I remember.

In honor of her first Blues game, I let Megan wear my Blues jersey (March 25, 2008). No girl has ever made a hockey jersey looked better =).

The opening face-off (March 25, 2008).

*Three happy Blues fans at the game against Detroit (March 25, 2008). We lost 2-1, but we still had fun despite the loss, constantly hearing a little kid say, "Detroit sucks!" and last row seats!

Players coming together for a little pushing and shoving match (March 25, 2008).

The Blues’ line of Kariya, Tkachuk, and Boyes cycling around in the Detroit zone (March 25, 2008).

John releasing air pressure (March 25, 2008).

***Susan smiling for the camera (March 28, 2008).

***Me looking for tickets for the Blues game on Saturday (March 28, 2008). I didn't find any.

Barry’s 22^nd Birthday Weekend

March 7–9, 2008

Shannon counting out her tokens at Chuck E. Cheese. Awe look how happy she is, even if she didn't get to steal a baby (inside joke).

Enjoying our Chuck E. Cheese pizza!

Megan chowing down on some Chuck E. Cheese pizza. Naw naw (that's supposed to be the sound of chewing) yum!

Chris enjoying the comedic styling of one Shannon Hartman.

Corey and Matt at Chuck E. Cheese.

Chris playing a go-kart racing game at Chuck E. Cheese.

Matt ballin’ . . . skee ball style, yo!

Amy and Alyssa taking a ride on the pony.

Megan playing the interesting bowling-shuffle board game at Chuck E. Cheese.

Megan shooting hoops at Chuck E. Cheese.

Megan playing a cool little boy at mini air hockey after she beat me 7-6. She beat me too; I didn't let her win. That little guy showed her though ;).

Stephen shooting baskets at Chuck E. Cheese.

Stephen taking his turn and the go kart game.

Moving the couch into its new home. Dad brought down the couch and love seat to replace the furniture that Tyler left. Chris is a one-man working crew carrying the thing by himself! Good balancing skills.

Trying out the first setup of the living room.

Matt and Megan taking a break from the cleaning and furniture arranging. The couch and love seat were given to me by my dad's girlfriend's parents since they got a new set. It works well with the place!

Matt, Chris, and Megan standing around a cozy fire during a cold night. The fire looks like its going for Matt's beer.

Our grill bonfire.

Matt and Megan outside. I swear he's not peeing . . . I think ;).

Matt and Chris jumping up and down on the tree branch that wouldn't break. I don't think you could make a trampoline that had more bounce and spring.

Chris getting ready to go bouncing . . . on a very sturdy tree branch.

*Kristin and I. She was very depressed when I shaved my beard that night (laughs). Sorry Little Buddy!

The guitars on the wall. This was all Dad's idea, which we all thought was great. When they're not being used by the guitars they can be coat racks! Sweet!

Corey and Megan assembling the tall lamp. Judging by the look on Megan's face it explains why the lamp leans to one side. Just kidding.

Friends, awesome friends, hanging out in the living room after the furniture was arranged for good . . . first try!

Steve and Chris appreciating the comforts of the love seat.

Matt with the double barrels ready to go.

Megan giving Kristin a behind-the-back hug. What a cute picture!

Dad and Chris working on setting up the TV and hooking up the cable.

My room turned into the computer room with Matt and Sherry's laptops. They enjoyed the fact that they could feed off of my wireless internet =).

Megan playing "Guitar Hero."

Corey playing "Guitar Hero" while Chris has a conversation with Matt across the room.

Kristin and Chris chilling and relaxing on the brand new couch. Well, new to this house anyway.

Kristin playing around on the huge monitor in the MSU bookstore (March 8, 2008).

Watching Kristin play on the big honkin’ monitor in the bookstore (March 8, 2008).

Hanging out in the gift shop at Lambert's Cafe. We waited for two hours (at least) before we were finally seated (March 8, 2008).

Megan making a cute pose during our over two-hour wait at Lamberts Café (March 8, 2008). Look America, here comes your next Top Model!

Megan and I enjoying our Cherry Vodka Sour (March 8, 2008).

Friends spending time together in the newly arranged living room. We all liked the setup. It was a team effort and we got it how we wanted it on the first try (March 8, 2008).

Megan cooking up some scrambled eggs . . . colby jack cheese style (March 9, 2008).

Our Sunday morning breakfast and lunch meal (March 9, 2008). Complete with Spaghettios! Awwwww yyeeeeah!
