Alyssa/Ben's baby's first pictures

You surely didn't expect a real photo. She's not due until August 12th. These will have to due until then. Isn't he or she just the cutest little, uh... fetus you've ever seen? That is if you can figure out what is what.

Jarrod paintballing

On President's Day, Jarrod and his friend Adam spent the day playing paintball wars. The course is at the Orange County Fair Grounds. We thought it would only be a few hours. They played from 10:30 to 5:30. They stopped only because we had to get them to tennis practice by 6:00. The hazey photos are through the screen that covered the course.

It's "safe" but can still leave a mark as Adam shows us a welt on his arm and Jarood has one on his upper arm.

Wearing the mask is a must. This would not have been a pretty sight if he's not been wearing the mask. I saw one young man life the mask a little to wipe the fog inside. The ref pronounced him dead and he had to leave the field.

They don't look like it, but they had a good time.

Family News

• Alyssa and Ben are expecting!!! They are due in August. They are very excited.
  
• Jarrod got a 447 out of 300 on his Biology lab final. He got one of the highest scores. Since the teacher grades on a curve it pushed his score over the top.
• Jarrod had try-outs for Villa Park High School's tennis team. He played 4 games and won all 4. The last game was against the best junior varsity player. He was excited to make the team!!
