Yes, we finally picked a name. Below is a link to the photo album with added pictures.

Brand New Baby Boy!

Just picked one up from the factory!

Pam gave birth to our son June 18th, 2011 at 3:41am. He was 7lb 14oz and 20.5" long.

Because we didn't know what the sex was going to be, we had to come up with a few extra names. We had girl names we liked, but never quite made it there with the boy names. So we are still working on that. I will post up the name when we figure it out.

We seem to startle him with a flash, so we have been avoiding using one. Some pictures are better than others.

Day with Aurora SWAT

Last week Friday I had a chance to go to a SWAT demonstration where they let us shoot a bunch of their guns and ride in their armored car and see their training facilities. A friend of mine bought this demo day at a charity fund raiser event and I got to tag along.

They had their K9 drug sniffer and bomb sniffer dogs there. They offered us the opportunity to put on the suit and let the dog attack us. Of course, I had to get a part of this. It was pretty cool to see and try it, but the darn dog let go of my arm and then took a good nip at my leg. It didn't get thru my jeans, but it did bite hard enough to tear the skin and cause bleeding, so they made me go to the ER with them and get it cleaned properly and get a tetanus shot.

Below we have the video of the dog attack and the quick bite at the end. Sorry, you will have to turn your head sideways to watch it. I don't video edit and there is no easy fix that I know of.

SWAT limo

This was our ride for the day. It has 66 mm thick glass. Weighs 40,000 lbs. Gets 4 mpg. And max speed of 75 mph. The armor can stop multiple 50 cal rounds. It is just crazy. A 50 cal round can go thru 13" thick concrete!
The scrape on the bumper is from a raid where the had to ram a house to get in.

SWAT M16

We also got to shoot an M16 automatic. That was cool but over to quick. Then they had a semi-auto to shoot as well. I don't remember what it was, but those are a lot of fun too. A person could be real dangerous with one of those.

SWAT

We got shoot lots of guns. Glock 9mm. Glock 40 cal. 1911. 357 revolver. 44 mag revolver. Super fun, but that 44 was tough to shoot more than 3 rounds with. I did confirm that I can at least hit a Target @ 15' !

Visit in Laramie

To take a break from our messy house and get out of town, we decided to go visit our friends Mark and Christie in Laramie. She is due one week before me so we figured we had to get a couple good photos before the babies arrive.

Going for a hike by their house:

Nope, I'm not pushing out the jacket with my hands...

Trying to see if we are wider than the tree:

Pam is taking over Matt's Blog : )

Not really, but I thought it would be fun to post a few pictures of our recent activities. We have not been very diligent at taking photos but have a few to share anyway.

In our pursuit of fixing up the baby room, we ended up buying enough carpet to do the rest of the house. Well, if we're going to do that we should probably paint the walls, and the trim, and the doors, install ceiling fans, fix the stairs and now we have a big remodel project underway...

The Mess:

The remodeling:

Matt is pretty motivated now that I'm 37 weeks pregnant and baby could be coming any day!

The colors in the baby room:

And hopefully soon we will have the carpet installed, the furniture in and we'll be able to post some finished room photos.
