Taylor just hanging out at the ball field...

Not sure what goes through Cozy's head sometimes. All we know is that he insists on being around baseball games. This is Cozy during a game at APU....

The 2006 American League Champion Tigers...

Friend and Former Dodgers scout Joe Ferrone lent me his ring for this picture. He was with the Tiger's when they made their World Series run in 2006. Even though the Tigers would fall to the Cardinals 4 games to 1, their owner presented his employee's with these Silver rings to commemorate their spectacular year.

No Ordinary Dish...

This is last homeplate used at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers played their final season in Brooklyn in 1957. The last time this plate was used was on Sept. 24th of that year when the Dodgers crossed this homeplate for the last time beating the Pirates 2-0 before moving the Los Angeles. Truly a special moment that I could share with my friend Josh Rawitch.

First time on Splash Mountain...


We're not usually fortunate enough to capture 1st moments like these on film...usually they exist only in our memories...but now thanks to Disneyland and digital camera's I present to you Gracie 1st time riding Splash Mountain. It isn't the overly excited Uncle, nor the confident look of Dad knowing exactly where to look for the camera that makes this picture funny. It's the look of sheer terror on Gracie's face and the uncertainty of what lies below in the foggy depths...

Cozy and Buzz

Like looking in a mirror...

It's always "More Than Meets The Eye" with Cozy...

Cozy in a BUMBLEBEE mask from Transformers. I showed him the picture after...and I think it scared him.

Taylor...Being All He Can Be!

The ARMY Dragster visited the Campus of APU before it headed to the Pomona fairgrounds.

Peter Pan 360 at Segerstrom.

What a wonderful experience. We were blown away with the creativity, the music, and the effects of this production. Gracie had a great time. She even wore a special dress and dad wore a tie to match her.

Check out the Blueberry blossoms!

We did it Rich!



Lemons, Limes & Baseballs?

I think Taylor just figured out that the "Who can collect the most lemons wins game" isn't really a game...

Gracie is happy because she can squeeze lemonade...











Taylor thinks that we're growing baseballs...

Christmas 2010


















Fresh Squeezed!

We picked oranges off the tree just moments before squeezing them into juice. Taylor and Grace took over and now our house smells like the Tropicana Factory.
