Our trip to Northen Arizona




For our 5th anniversary we went up to Ash Fork, AZ to visit with a friend of the family. The place we stayed at belongs to a close friend of my father-in-law Mark. Cody has been Mark's friend since High School, he lives on 40 acres of land with open space for animals like rabbits, crows, coyotes, and skunks to roam on. This year when we went up to visit Cody, we went to the Grand Canyon, Williams, Seligman, Flagstaff, and the Deer farm.














These are pictures I took of Sycamore point, done in HDR.



On the way back to Cody's house we came across some horses.

The horses were just walking down a dirt road leading back to Williams, AZ. Cody decided to pet one of the horses and the horses decided to block our way for awhile. So I got out and took some pictures. Then one of the horses thought my window tasted good and licked it. One of the horses followed me around the vehicle.



On one of our trips Jamie, Sean and I went to a place call The Deer Farm and took some pictures of the animals that live there.




On the way out, one of the deer tried to eat Jamie's shirt.


August 1st: Jamie, Sean and I went to the Grand Canyon. We came upon a squirrel eating what looked like a fried chip that someone gave it. I took some video of the squirrel eating, and me petting it. Jamie took some pictures of me playing with the squirrel. I even got the squirrel to sit on my lap for a few seconds.


I then took pictures of us at different parts of the canyon.


I took a picture of the sky in HDR.


I took some pictures of the canyon every once and awhile. The photo of the village is where my Aunt says my adopted cousin Alfie came from.


After we decided to head back to Cody's we came upon some more deer.


At sunset in Ash Fork I took these pictures in HDR.


Cody showed me a back road to his house and I took this picture in HDR.


Here is some of the pictures we took at Cody's. 1st picture is of Jamie and Cody keeping Sean from rolling away. 2nd is of Sean in his new Capt. Dribble outfit. 3rd is of Jamie being kicked by Sean when I was talking to him.


Two days before we decided to go home I shot this jackrabbit. It was about 50 feet from me sitting under a tree. I had recently purchased a Ruger 10/22, converted it to a bull pup, and put a red dot sight on it. Earlier in the day I had sighted it in to about 50 feet, so I took aim at the jackrabbit and pulled the trigger. I thought I had missed when I heard the thump of the bullet hitting it.


Cody's step daughter brought up her ex's mother, because she is taking care of her, but she kept on complaining that she wasn't having any fun. She asked if she could ride on Joe's (Cody's Friend) ATV. So Joe gave her a ride.


On the last day we took a group photo with Cody and his friends and some of his family. From left to right Jamie and Sean, Virginia and Sam with her dog Socks, Joe, Tonie and her son Brody, Me (Mike) and Cody.

Daniel's 13th Birthday party


On May 26 we went to Daniel's house for his birthday party on the south side of South mountain. Daniel and his friends had fun and we had fun picking on them. Daniel also liked all of his presents that everyone gave him. That day I was able to get Mary, Daniel, Megan and Sean in the same picture.





These are some of the pictures from his party.

This is the first Guildig born since 1976


Jamie and I decided to have a baby after she bugged me for at least four years. She would nag me by saying, "I would like a baby before I am 30." So I said OK and we started trying in Jan. 2006 and by memorial day we found out Jamie was going to have a baby. At that point we did not know what the sex of the baby was. We went to our first ultrasound on Aug. 16th and found out we were going to have a boy. The next day we went to visit my sister who was in the hospital for kidney failure, I made a bet with her that we were having a girl and she said we were having a boy. So we gave her the $5.00 she won on the bet. We even showed her the ultrasound pictures, but we were not able to tell her the baby's name for we did not have one picked out yet. The next day Pam passed away due to septic shock, but she is still going to be his favorite aunt even though my son will never get to meet Pam. Pam loved Sean from the moment we told her we were having him.

This is the first picture of Sean, his profile, leg, and foot.


These are the second set of ultrasound pictures, first picture is of his face with mouth open, second is of him with his hand out in front of him, and third picture is of him with his hand on is head.


This is a picture of me just before Sean was born. I was waiting to go into the O.R. to be next to Jamie during her C-section. The other three pictures are of Sean while the nurses were checking Sean over making sure he was healthy. Jamie was still in the O.R. recovering from surgery.


These are Sean's stats at birth.


This is a picture of me holding Sean when he was only a few hours old, that is me standing next to my father (this is his first grandchild he was allowed to hold or see before the child turned 13 years old) he is a proud grandpa if you can not see that.

This is my twin brother holding Sean while standing next to Jamie, which just happens to be the only picture of her in the hospital.


These are two of the many pictures of Jamie holding Sean, after Sean and Jamie got out of the hospital.


This is my mother holding Sean after he was released from the hospital. And this is what happens when a mother asks for pictures. They ask for your kid to be nude on a sheet.


These are pictures of Sean during and after one of his baths.


This is when mothers go nuts with baby outfits.



Jamie put Sean in orange overalls that was worn by his cousin Andrew, and I am holding Sean after Jamie was done doing her dress up session with Sean.


Here is some the my family who wanted to hold Sean, 1st. picture is Bill my adopted uncle he is going for a kiss on Sean's forehead, 2nd. is my sister Kathy, 3rd is my niece Megan, 4th. is my brother Robert who fell asleep while holding Sean, and last is Amanda my twin brother's girl-friend.



The 1st picture is Jamie's mom Helen, 2nd is her father Mark, and 3rd. is her sister Char.
