Belly Pictures

Here are a couple pictures of my GROWING belly. I don't think it looks as big as it really does in these pictures. Just ask Julie, I think she would agree. Maybe it was the angle that Shane took it at because he couldn't get off the couch and was disgusted that he had to take the pictures :) Maybe I will have my Mom take the next ones.

ShaneBaby's Adventures: Volume I

I figured I would spice up this blog a little so as to get a little more male viewership. As all good father's to be, I have been training myself to get away from 32 years of selfishness and to focus on my wife and unborn child. I figured this is the least I can do to be supportive of Courtney and let her know that I am going to take this fatherhood thing seriously.

Exhibit A: My sister and I had tickets on the floor for U2 in Vancouver on Wednesday night and were about 75 feet away from the stage.

I found this video on YouTube. It was taken at the concert about 20-25 feet in front of me and my sister. It also happened to be my favorite part. Bono is just finishing up "Amazing Grace" while the band starts its intro into "Where the Streets Have No Name". It is worth viewing if you are a U2 fan. I have no idea how to add a link to this godforsaken blog so you will have to cut and paste.

A great picture of the stage set-up. They put on a great show. I wish I would have brought my own camera so that I didn't have to pawn things off of the internet and sell them as my own.



For instance, I could tell you that the Pope waived at me while I was in Vancouver too, find a picture of the Pope waiving on the internet, and pawn it off in this blog as my own.




FatherHood Lesson: After all was said and done with the U2 concert, I did not get home until 2 in the morning. However, I was still up and ready for work the next day. As a result, I have shown my wife I have what it takes to go through a sleepless night and still do my duties the following day.


Exhibit B: Got in at 3 in the morning last night after 5 hours of BlackJack. My friends and I were up $900 and split the winnings three ways. Did you know that you can double down as many times as you want in Spanish 21?

Hand of The Night: $10 bet. Dealer showing a 6. Babes with A-3. Double down and get a 2. Now at a soft 15. Double down again ($20) and get a A. Now at a soft 16. Double down again ($40) and get a 4 for 20. Dealer bust. Doubled down 3 times to win $80 off of a $10 bet. I am in love with the multiple double down (Did you know about this guys?).

FatherHood Lesson: "It is not my money, it is our money". Winnings from last night will go towards diapers, baby bedding and another pair of Courtney's hot-ass maternity jeans.

Stay tuned for the next installment of.....ShaneBaby's Adventures

More house pictures

The flooring is in and the walls are going up. This is the view looking from the Cul de sac to the front of the house. Care and Tracey I promise to get a belly shot up next! I haven't even taken one since I have been pregnant. I can't say I am looking forward to it but I will do it for my friends far away. I miss you girls!

The foundation is in...

The walls are going up this week and the garage floor got poured today. Shane has been putting in as many hours as he can after school and on Saturdays helping before basketball starts that is why you see him in the pictures and not me. I can't say I have been much of a help besides dropping him off at the property and leaving to run errands (mostly for the house) then picking him up before we head home for the day. We have had some long days but it will all be worth it in the end and we are used to long days from coaching, though I have to say that is has been great not being a head coach this fall!

Kyler Christopher Price

Born October 17, 2009 at 10:01 a.m. 7 lbs. 6 oz. 21 inches
Yesterday my brother and I went to the hospital to see baby Kyler who decided to come early! I thought he looked a lot more like Crew than Brody as a baby but still hard to tell. Here are a couple pictures for you until Julie gets home and updates her blog.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We had the 20 week ultra sound done yesterday. The Dr. said she looks healthy and is measuring right on. We couldn't tell for the first 20 minutes of the ultra sound if it was a boy or girl because she was sleeping in a fetal position with her legs crossed (it was 7:40 in the morning, so she must not be a morning person like her Mom). They had me get up and walk around and go to the bathroom and when I came back she had moved so we could see better. We are so excited about having a girl but I am not sure it has quite sunk in yet. Our students at school were so excited when we got to school yesterday after the appointment to know what we were having and of course we got asked the name a ton of times...but we are keeping that a surprise.
