Christmas Pictures 2008

Aren't we cute? This was taken in Washington - we were taking pictures for mom's new digital picture frame.

My sisters and I in OUR matching jammies.Can you tell we're related?

All first cousins.

Future yarn.

Looking at pictures of themselves.=)

Opening christmas jammies. Funny how you know you are getting pajamas and still it never loses its excitement.

Hats I crocheted for them.

Portland.

Loved this VW Bus!!

The only way to travel!!

She was a little moody but luckily Uncle Joe was there for hugs!!

My mom and dad - she had just given his new ipod Touch for christmas and then we spent the next couple of days teaching him how to use it! Aren't they the cutest ever?

My Uncle Bill (UB) I don't get to see him often enough!

She won the christmas game - greed! And won.... dishcolths-she unwittingly traded the pink purse, again thank goodness for aunts (Great Aunt Laurie) cause she traded her back!

The final performance of the season! We had individual handbills - with the name of the participants, the name of the director and the name of the producers and on the back we were thanked by name for watching!!!

Playing with his touch! Once he got the hang of it, he spent a ton of money on iTunes!

We had so much fun on our trip, we faced blizzards and driving with chains for the first time, most of the children and adults had stomach flu; but we still managed to laugh, alot!, and I had my first white christmas. It snowed everyday we were in Seattle, which was pretty cool. Of course no matter what the

weather, Oregon and Washington are beautiful. Honey had a hard time cause we didn't see sky or the sun for seven days. Different for us high desert girls!!

Some Updates - Finally!!

Hi all!! Happy

New

Year!! We had some crazy weather in Palmdale. Here are the pictures from that fun

day..... It snowed for 12 hours (which compared Seattle is nothing - but the Seattle trip is tomorrows post)

We took dogs out for a walk they had so much fun even if the snow came up to their bellies!!!!

My Peanut!!

Crackerjack!!! (Peanut's sister)

Twilight the movie...

I loved Twilight. Edward was okay but the bad vamp, James, was HOT! Something about those bad boys I guess. Of course they left the door wide open for the second movie.
The only thing about the movie was the teenage girls watching the movie and feeling the need to scream every five seconds. But Honey said, they are just teenage girls. Oh well, I will get the movie when it comes out on DVD and watch in quite to my hearts content. =)

So I missed a few days!!!

Honey has a sinus infection that apparently she got while in Texas. So we found ourselves in the doctors office picking up meds! Then yesterday was laundry day, whooppee!!!
Also, school registration is this week. The fun just never stops. I am planning almost a full load next semster, send lots of study vibes! =)

Fall Ball is almost OVER!!!!

Thank goodness we are almost done! We are coming into my favorite time of year - Mom time. This is the time between sport season and we do what mom wants to do. We are not run by sports schedules but actually get to do whatever. Clean the garage, the backyard, get the front yard ready for spring - ok we get to go to the movies, sightseeing (wine country, take the dogs to the beach, etc.)

Then in January we start the sports thing for the year all over again.

Short school week this week and I have some pictures from the weekend to put up tomorrow.

Really?

Is it really a new dawn in America?

I voted, did you?

National Blog Posting Month

So once again it is that time of year - blogging every day for a month. Lucky for me I actually started on time. Whew! I don't post for a month and and start NaBlPoMo November 1st.

Anyway, the top two pictures are from the Antelope Valley Fair this past August. Honey and I went with our friend Suzy and had so much fun!

Here is another friends dog, Bosco. She let me practice taking pictures on him.

Honey will be in Texas for the rest of the week and I do not do well without my Honey.

Pictures

One of my assignments was to take pictures of a landscape. So, Honey and I got up before the break of dawn and headed of to Vasquez Rocks to take some breathtaking pics. However, the park doesn't open until 8am so I did some long exposure shooting: We then headed off to Little Rock dam and while Max had a blast, I had a great time shooting pictures (only one of which is below):

This last week has been great for sky pictures:

During Honeys football season I was taking pictures (having NO idea what I was doing) and got this shot:

Not that I know what I doing now, I just know what I DON'T know.

My sweet Peanut (and a little photoshop work!):

Some more photoshop!

Honeys new car!
