Fall is here

Ahhh, the leaves changing colors, there's a chill in the air and chili in the crockpot. You know what that means? More pictures of course! There's a church down the street from out house that sells pumpkins before holloween and Ashley and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a few snapshots of the big guy. We put him in his pimp orange vest (a la Back to the Future) and snapped away! Enjoy!

As gay as two brothers can be

me and chris, originally uploaded by gregring.

When you ask me and my brither Chris to strike a pose, damn do we strike a pose. It's my 30th birthday on monday and my wife had a surprise bowling party for me. Anyone who was anyone was there - including my brother and his wife Michele, Mason, Payce, Lauren, Whitney and Derrin, Shannon, Kristen and Brian, Mark and Christine (thanks for the bottle) Bono, Dirk Nowistki, Emmitt Smith and Jessica Alba (for good measure....)

My actual Birthday is the 24th so send those gift certificates (or cash) before monday!

"I'm smiling because I love to eat!"

Hey ya'll. I'm doing better about putting pictures up here. It's the descriptions and the writing that's now killing me. I know I could talk about Turner. How he's eating cereal, green beans, peas, bananas, and apple sauce now (Not in one sitting. That's be crazy.) But I feel like people probably don't even read this stuff. They just look at the pictures and say "awe...ain't he cute?"

Turner loves to eat. He's huge.

My birthday is coming up. Sosend all your iTunes gift certificates to greg@gregring.com. Thanks guys! That's very thoughtful of you!

Turner at 6 Months

excersaucer, originally uploaded by gregring.

Turner had his six month checkup today. He's a little over 17 puonds and twenty some odd inches long (I don't remember excatly). All I know is that he's 50% in weight and 90% in height. He also had four shots which he wasn't happy about, but he made it.

This is a picture of him in his excersaucer in our backyard.

Turner's still cute

I know I'm horrible. A post a month is not excatly what I had in mind when I started this thing but, you see, I'm lazy. And this way every picture I put up of Turner it really looks like he's growing a lot! Which he is. He's "off the charts" tall and in the 60% of weight. Dominating. He's recently started rolling over like a maniac. It's so funny to see him one day not interested in something then the next day doing something like rolling over - and back again - and again.

I'll try to be better about posting stuff, but I've lied before

Turner Tub

Ash and I have finally settled back in Dallas. Ash likes her new position at the hospital even thought the hours can be a little tough. Turner's doing really well also. We went to the doctor about a week ago and he measured off the charts for his height and in the 60% fo his weight. He's huge. It's so funny to look back at pictures of him just a couple of months ago and see how much he's changed. He's also starting to roll over and probably will start speaking full sentences by next week.

At last...a new post and more pictures

turnerangryhand, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ok, ok, get off my back. Here are some new pictures. My brother's wedding was last weekend and it was a beauty. I wish He and Michele a life of happiness. Ashley and I had a great time and we took a bunch of pictures while we were down in Dallas. We really miss our freinds and my family and are looking forward to getting back in two weeks.

Turner was baptized while we were down there by my brother Alex. That was a special time and one that I will remember forever. One reason why is that I have pictures!

Here is a link to my photo album. The newest ones are labeled "July 2005". I have the other albums on there too just in case you feel like wasting 15 minutes or so.

Demon Days

By the Way, this album is really sweet. I recommend. It's not what I expected. Which is why I think I like it so much. Just get it. Get someone to copy it for you, whatever. I'll burn it for you. Just post a comment here and leave your address and such (if your really brave) and I'll get one right out to you. Promise. That's how much I like it.

Oh yea, Tuner? Still dominating. He's figured out that his dad is an old softy. When I try to put him to sleep he either cries for a half hour or he will coo and smile at me to try to get me to play with him. He's at the stage that he starting to really be interested in his enviroment and wants to interact with it. Even if it means he's giong to be "over-tired" later. Its been a learning experience for sure. He's really been good though. He usually goes to bed around 6pm and will sleep till midnight to about three am. It the afternoon nap we have yet to master.

It was Ashley and I's anniversary on Wednesday. we both went out (after Turner was sound asleep of course!) for dinner. It was really nice to get out and have a date. Ashley's still hot. I dig her.

Payce and Amy spotted in Columbia

payce and amy blog, originally uploaded by gregring.

Payce and Amy were nice enough to ride into town this weekend and stay a spell in CoMo. We all went out Friday night (with the exception of Ashley) and hit all the hot clubs in Columbia. That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Nevertheless, it was fun to get out hang with some of my bestest freinds in the whole entire world. They got to see where I work, live, and most importantly see Turner who spent most of the weekend sleeping. Anyway, if you're like me you'd probably just skip all this crap narration and go staight for the crap photos.

Wedding Mania!

Lauren and Turner blog, originally uploaded by gregring.

There was a wedding this weekend for Jordan Taylor. She is a neighbor of Ashley and her parents here on Happy Hollow road. The reception was at the Taylor house and they set up a HUGE tent and had over 200 people for dinner, drinks and a little drunken dancing. It was really quite nice. Ashley and I took Turner and he was really awesome. Pretty much slept the whole time, with the exception of when he wanted to eat.

Speaking of eating, Turner is taking a bottle really well now! It turned out that he really (and I mean really) didn't like the bottle/nipple we were using. We switched the bottle and he took right to it. It such a relief for me and Ashley. Ashley can get out of the house for a longer period of time now.

I've posted some pictures of the fun over the weekend here. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Loading...50%...

I've been getting people asking about the new gregring.com site. My new portfolio website is on hold because the superpimp Jeremy Fields is in Europe pancing around eating french toast, french fries, and taking pictures of hairy armpits or whatever. He's coming back this week so we will regain progress soon. Thank you for your interest.

Turner is doing well. His 2 months doctors appt. is on Monday. I think it's the one where he gets his shots and junk. I'm glad Ash is taking him and not me. I'll post some more pictures of him soon (since he's the real star of gregringiscool). And again, thank you for your interest.

"Come here often?"

Thanks Kristen for the "Chick Magnet" shirt. Although this outfit kind of bums me out because Turner already looks like a todler in this picture. We've started trying to give him a bottle for the first time these past couple of days. The first time was full of gagging and outright refusal. The second was just full of gagging! We're getting closer! Actually you can tell he wants that milk inside that bottle, it's just a matter of finding out that technique. We'll keep you posted! Hurrah!

BFF!

Ashley's really good freinds came into town last weekend. Jenni (sp?) and her husband Jeff as well as Jane and her boyfriend Mike. We ate Chinese and had some wine and laughs. Ash was really happy to get the opportunity to hang out, as was I. We have the pictures to prove it.

I've been kind of slackin on posting stuff lately, but now that the Mavericks are out of the playoff and my nights are a little more free you can look forward to seeing more stuff up here.

Turner's started to really smile a lot. Ashley says he smiles at me far more than anyone else. I think he smiles at his mother just as much, but what do I know? I'm not with him all day. He also has started to find his thumbs which is really cute. He hasn't quite learned how to bend his elbow just so to get his hands near his mouth. It takes a good 30-50 trys before he has succuss. But when he does he's in hog heaven. Which is good because now he can kind of console himself if he starts to get a little fussy. Since he will not take a pacifier (he usually starts to gag and totally freaks) the fact that he's has his thumbs to put in his mouth is a lifesaver for Ashley and I. He's also started to get really chubby...ok fat. He's really cute and looking at my baby picture at six weeks - I was a chubb monster as well.

Three Ring Circus (ROCK ME!)

Sorry I haven't been posting stuff lately. It's really been crazy. I've been trying to get my stuff together to came back to Dallas and get a decent job. The website is coming along great. It's a lot of work, but not near as much as Jeremy Fields is putting into it. I can't say enough about him. He's really helped me out a lot. Anyway, my parents came last weekend and got to see Turner for the first time. I've included a link to some pictures here. They were really only here for a day, but they saw the greatness in my son. My sister Jennifer came with them. It was swell. Ash and I are still planning on coming back in July, so I hope everyone is ready - Lord knows I am.

Turner Gallery

Turner, originally uploaded by gregring.

Alright. Here it is. The long awaited, much anticipated and somewhat underestimated Gallery of Turner. I put pictures of Turner (of course) but there are a few of me as a baby and some of Ashley to come.

Turner is getting so big so quickly. It's crazy. I think he's a little over 11lbs. now! And he even seems to be getting longer. He was in the 80% of his hieght last time we took him to the doctor and now he seems to be even longer. You know what that means...center forward or power forward. Maybe both!

Go Mavs.
