18-Nov-2001
- I got Windows XP home edition last week via a Microsoft connection
05-Nov-2001 - We had a great time during our 5th anniversary train ride on the Spirit of Washington dinner train. I was a little sick and lost my voice on the ride down there that night, but luckily Jocelyn understands me well and knew what I was trying to say. Here are some pictures: November 2001
31-Oct-2001
- Halloween photos: Nate dressed up as an elephant!
30-Oct-2001 - Halloween updates coming soon...till then visit my new Sponsors!
21-Oct-2001
- 4 new video clips added to the
Videos
web page! See Nate slobber on the sliding glass door, walking
like a Champ, pitching like Tom Glavine and picking out big orange balls
a.k.a. pumpkins out of the pumpkin patch!
Well, Honda of Alabama finally gave me feedback on a
possible job with them and decided they didn't want to interview me
after all (more or less)! I'm not happy about the way they handled
the whole thing and I know they made a serious error in judgment.
But like PapaG said, God must have something better in store for
me/us...we are praying for it.
14-Oct-2001
- We have some new photos of Nate and they are cuter than normal
09-Oct-2001
- We hung up a new US flag inside our house this past Sunday, it can be
seen from the road in front of our place.
It's nice big flag!
02-Oct-2001
- We had a great trip down to see Kenzie, Grand Q and Joe at the
U of Oregon!
25-Sept-2001 - I forgot to add the Nate hanging out in the sink photos we took last night...go here to see them: Photos_Sept2001 I also put the Mukilteo beach trip photos in this photo album. I'm running out of website space, so I have to start saving/posting all the digital photos I take some where else i.e. my Yahoo! Photos
24-Sept-2001 - I posted photos from our recent trip (09/23/01) with Rebecca/Mom to Mt. Baker & Mt. Shucksan. I got some great shots of these mountains...it was a perfect day for a little hike and photo ops! Feel free to use this photo/file < Mt_Shucksan > as your computer's wallpaper...yes, I think it's that good. Also, located in the same photo album is pictures from last weekends trip (09/16/01) to Mukilteo beach/park just down the road a ways.
19-Sept-2001
- Well, it has certainly been a tough week for the Pryor
household...first the terrorist attacks and now Boeing announced today
they are going to layoff up to 30,000 workers. I didn't think
the airline industry problems would affect us (Boeing) this
fast. So, I'm not real sure on how to take all this bad news,
other than I'm going to do all I possibly can to keep the USS Pryor
afloat. It's to early to tell what is going to happen with my
job...I have a hard time painting a rosy picture since I've only been
in my new job less than a year (making me low guy on the totem
pole). I survived the last layoff cycle, so we'll just have to
hope for the best and/or maybe some smart Georgia company will hire me
and move us back home (sooner than later would be nice).
16-Sept-2001 - The Pryor's join the rest of the nation in mourning the victims of the horrific attack on America. We salute our country's finest, bravest rescue workers and volunteers for their valiant efforts.
13-Sept-2001 - I changed the index/intro page. For more information on how to donate/help relief efforts and more click on these URL icons: 12-Sept-2001 - This is just a friendly F.Y.I. to you...my friends and family. I gave blood last week or I would go give blood right now and I made a small donation to the Red Cross via my Paypal account. So, please see the URLs listed below for more information on how you too can help! It's the least we can do (if you haven't done so already)...Thanks for your time & God Bless America!
11-Sept-2001 - Just a quick note to let folks know we are doing fine and life is as normal as it can be after today's tragic terrorist attacks in New York & DC. God bless the people who died, their families, President Bush and America! May justice be swift, adequate and powerful!!!
02-Sept-2001
- Nate's first tooth is coming through!!! See photo above!
He was tired and didn't like us trying to take a picture of his tooth
(obviously from his reaction)...HeHe! It's the little white speck
on the middle right side (from photo's
perspective) of his bottom gums.
We are proud of our little Natester for sprouting a tooth finally!
01-Sept-2001
- Well, we have been busy so I have neglected our website a little as of
late. I recuperated from the Mt. Adams climb surprisingly fast and
wondering if I can do it again some day with Nate. We bought a
annual pass to Woodland Park Zoo a couple
of weeks ago and I have posted some pictures above from our last visit
there (Sunday, 08/26/01). And we plan to visit it again tomorrow
with Anna & Mackenzie. Our first visit this year was with Robbie
while he was here and the last visit was with Mom. It's been our
month for visitors, which is always a good thing especially considering
how far they have come to see us!
14-Aug-2001
- Well, I survived the Mt. Adams climb!
30-July-2001
- Finally got some photos of Nate behind his baby walker...Boy
do we have a cute son!!!
24-July-2001
- We still haven't got those video CDs in the mail to
folks. Jocelyn & Nate did give CiCi, Gaby & Grand Q
their video CDs during their trip to Dallas. They all seemed
to have a great time...too bad I was stuck at work. No new
photos to post today. Fred, Heather and Alex will be here soon
(August 3rd) for a medical seminar in Vancouver, BC and they will
get to spend some time with us. My mom and Robbie will be
coming in the same day. My mom got a CT Tech (contract) job at
Children's Hospital
in Seattle's U district. This is great news, since she will
get to spend a lot of time with us!
15-July-2001
- We made/burnt some CDs with all our digital video footage to
date and some lucky folks will be getting one real soon. If
you ask real nice we might make one for you. Nate is doing
great and we are doing our (mainly Jocie) best to keep up with him,
and just think he isn't even walking yet...HeHe!
04-July-2001
- I hope everyone had a safe & enjoyable 4th of July!
Our little block party was a success and all the kids had fun
playing. I added some random shots from the block party,
mainly of the kids having a water balloon toss.
01-July-2001
- Not much to report lately, all the excitement was last week
with Nate's B-Day and all. I hope people are enjoying the videos
I put together for the last update. Technology is cool but it
takes time to teach myself how to get it all to work correctly.
Well, we plan to have a little block party here for the 4th of July
and maybe go to a friend's neighborhood to watch fireworks go off all
around (like we did last year). It wasn't as fun last year cause
little Nate was still in the hospital, but Nate will get to see
fireworks for the first time this go around. Also, it's supposed
to be 85 degrees and warm that day (finally), so we'll be hitting the
pool.
27-June-2001 - Revised the
Videos page (formerly called the Movies page) with viewing
directions (please read them)
26-June-2001 - We can't believe Nate has been in our lives for a whole year now! We had a wonderful party on his Birthday with all our neighborhood friends celebrating with us! Nate enjoyed getting cake all over his face and in his hair - see pictures. Everyone had a wonderful time blowing bubbles and drawing on the driveway! Nate was also quite the little entertainer with his 'billy goat' laugh! He enjoyed being the center of attention!
14-June-2001 - Well, long time no update. Where do I start? Nate is crawling like a pro and into everything. He loves raiding the entertainment center and pulling out all his Baby Einstein tapes and grabbing whatever remotes he can find there, I guess he gets that from me. We all got a great JVC digital camcorder for our Birthdays and it was the best gift we could hope for right now, considering our old huge camcorder isn't working, just in time for Nate crawling, his up and coming Birthday and future first steps. I will have a little movie of him crawling uploaded here ASAP, I just need to capture the video to my computer (look for it come next Monday). Here is another one of those great emails Jocelyn, I mean Nate writes to tell you more: Hi Everybody
29-May-2001
- Our road/camping trip to Waldport/Newport,
OR was a lot of fun and Nate was a real trooper!
22-May-2001
- Added a photo of Nate
dreaming of crawling. All is good here in the Great
Pacific Northwest, especially on such a nice sunny day!
20-May-2001 - I created an online photo album of digital pictures I took at Donald & Shelly's wedding last weekend in Huntsville, AL...please go here to see more: http://communities.msn.com/DonaldShellysWedding
07-May-2001
- Added new photos from this past weekend. It was nice and
sunny,
especially Sunday when we went to Kayak Point
Park. We
went with our friends Tanya & Jeremy. Our dogs had
fun playing on the beach and in the water. Of course, Shadow
loved retrieving drift wood in the water! Nate had a great time as well
and it was just nice getting out and enjoying the weather and the time
together. I guess that about wraps it up. See all you
Georgia folks this weekend!
29-Apr-2001
- Added lots of new photos from our cookout party and of course more
photos of Nate (bath time series)! The party was fun and we
all had a great time! It was great seeing everyone and
catching up on things. We look forward to doing it
again! 23-Apr-2001 - We are doing great! Nate is rolling from place to place now and he will probably be crawling before we know it. I had a LAN party here at our place Saturday and all my local PC gaming buddies were here, go here: < AC CNW Style! > to see pictures and news of this past event. We will be hosting another get together/cookout with friends this coming weekend and I'm sure it will be fun. We look forward to seeing and socializing with all our local friends!
15-Apr-2001
- Happy Easter! We went to the Skagit
Valley Tulip Festival yesterday and saw some nice tulip fields,
but not as many tulip fields this year as previous years. I
have added several photos from this tulip trip and
weekend! It was a nice day for tulip seeing and we saw Brian
and Jennifer there on their bicycles while waiting in traffic for
Tulip Town. We also watched Remember
the Titans last night...great movie!!! Today we went to
church in downtown Everett and enjoyed time together at the
park. 06-Apr-2001
- Well, I got my wish and I will be doing the same job I was doing
on the Longer-Range 767-400ER but now on the Longer-Range
777-200 and -300 program. This actually suits me better
due to my past experience as a M.E. Planner with 777
Furnishings. Needless to say I'm happy I landed on this
program and from what I hear it will keep me busy and be a great
project management challenge.
03-Apr-2001 - I forgot to add some news about changes at work and Nate's 9 month checkup...see these text files that I copied from email messages:
01-Apr-2001
- April Fool's Day! Well, I didn't do any April Fool's Day
pranks today...I guess I'm boring! HeHe!
17-Mar-2001
- Nate is sitting up and playing with his toys by himself. As
well, as holding his bottle by himself for the most part, he is a
sharp little booger! March Madness is here and I hope to do well
in my office pool.
12-Mar-2001
- Well, last weekend (March 4th) we went to Point
Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, it was a lot of fun and real close to
the epicenter of the big earthquake! I have included some
pictures from that day above (including another NASCAR Nate picture...I
really like them & Nate loves his NASCAR bouncing buggy). We are all doing great! Nate gives us the
biggest smiles everyday and we sure do love it!!!
28-Feb-2001
- Wow, 6.8 earthquake hits our area! I was on the 2nd floor of
my 4-story office building when it hit. I was very scared, cause
it was rocking and rolling like you see in the movies and in past news
coverage from California earthquakes. It was pitching back and
forth a good 6 inches or more where my desk is and making horrible
noises. Jocelyn thought someone was banging around on the roof
of our town home and then realized it was an earthquake, her first earthquake
experience. My 3rd earthquake experience (previous 2 smaller
earthquakes were during Mt. St. Helens activity in 1980) and hopefully
my last cause it wasn't fun. Well, they evacuated all the Boeing
buildings and I got to go home early, about the only good thing
resulting from it. It was definitely quite an experience to say
the least and I'm just happy and grateful, thank the Lord, nothing
happened to my family and me!!!
See these links for more news surrounding the Puget Sound Earthquake: 25-Feb-2001
- Not much to report. We are all doing great! Last night
we did go to a get together hosted by members of the Discovery
Presbyterian Church.
We played Cranium and It was
a lot of fun, not to mention great folks. Lastly, I added 7 new
photos above...the one of Nate wearing his new sunglasses is real
cool! 21-Feb-2001
- I added a Dale Earnhardt Sr. Tribute to
my new NASCAR
#99 (Jeff Burton) page. Rest In Peace Dale, you will be
missed!
17-Feb-2001 - I added a NASCAR #99 (Jeff Burton) page just in time for the Daytona 500, which is the first race of the season! I also updated the Movies page with additional information and I will have a new movie on there soon. 16-Feb-2001
-
It
snowed 8 inches here last night and some this morning. We were
playing in it earlier and I made a snowman with my young neighbor
Chris. Not to mention we had a few snowball fights.
06-Feb-2001
- I have added a home movies page,
which will feature mainly Nate.
It's still under construction, but the movie(s) should be viewable by
everyone now. I added some special HTML code, which will embed
the Microsoft
Windows Media Player in either Internet Explorer or Netscape browser
platforms. Go here to see the new movies page: Movies
I hope y'all enjoy seeing & hearing Nate say Da Da...I
know I do! 05-Feb-2001 - I just thought I would add a few informational resource links about southern heritage and the Georgia state flag, so please see the informational web sites listed below. As I said on my guest book my previous news entry/comment stays! It might not be PC, but it's how I feel (to say the least).
We are all brothers & sisters of Dixie! 31-Jan-2001 - Added a couple of pictures of Nate in his new high chair. Also, added animated flags next to the top banner. Had to put something up to show what the real Georgia flag looks like! It's a shame it's going to be changed due to the efforts of the idiotic NAACP! 27-Jan-2001
- All the digital pictures from our Christmas vascation/trip are now
up in our Yahoo
Photo Albums! Sorry, no new pictures of Nate at this
time...we will get one of him in his new high chair ASAP. I
have updated all these pages: JP's Bio, JP's Resume,
My Past Hondas, Snow Skiing,
SPEEA & Sponsors
So, feel free to go see what has been updated on all these
pages. No major changes, just updates! Also, my Asheron's
Call gaming website as been updated a lot lately (don't ask
why!).
17-Jan-2001
- I'm finally getting around to updating this website after the
holidays. We had a great visit to GA over the holidays and Santa
Claus treated us all very good!
