Introducing Sydnee & Seth!

I just love my niece and nephew! They are the biggest hams! A couple weeks ago, while we were all over at my mom and dad's for Sunday night dinner, I decided snap away while they were goofing around in the backyard. I had so much fun with them....I guess I always do though!

Funky Pictures!

One of my co-workers informed me a couple weeks ago that my pictures on my blog are pixelated. I thought that is weird, they look fine on my computer! I went home that night and changed the sizes of the images thinking that would fix it. Oh, how wrong I was! While the images look good on my computer, they don't look so how on others. I don't know what to do to fix it. =( I just wanted to let you all know that I am actively working on it and hopefully all will be good soon! Feel free to drop me a comment if they are yucky on your computer.....it is much appreciated!

Thanks guys!

Halloween Fun

Halloween was too much fun this year! We went over to a friends house for their annual Halloween party. My costume was a joke this year. The original plan was to be a beer wench. When I tried on the costume, I just about came out of my skin it was so itchy! So, being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the very last minute to get a costume. I picked up one of those cheap ER doctor costumes thinking that would last the night. Oh, how wrong I was. About a hour after we arrived, Alyssa let me know I had a little rip. At that point it wasn't too bad. It got progressively worse throughout the night. By the end of the night I was holding my pants together. It was quite embarrassing! Thank goodness it was Halloween and one can typically get away with it!

Connie did The Joker's makeup....she did a KILLER job!

Apple Hill

All I wanted to do for my birthday this year was to go to Apple Hill. So, we braved the crowds a couple weeks ago and had a blast! We started our day having breakfast at Apple Cafe....yummy!

After that we started our Applelicious day at High Hill...checkin out the crafts and tasting Apple Beer. I thought it was going to be actually apple beer, only to find out it was a mix of Bud Light and Apple Cider. The first half was pretty good....after that we weren't so impressed.....


After we left High Hill, we bounced all over Apple Hill....mainly hitting the wineries and breweries. It was a very fun day!

Our Friday nights....

Every Friday night we, The Boy and I, go to Darin and Jill's for a night of good food, good friends, and TONS of pool. It isn't uncommon for us to still be up playing pool at 3 o'clock in the morning.

This last weekend Darin's mom and brother joined us. We had too much fun! Here are some images from the night!

Jill shooting behind the back....showoff! =) Nice Job!

Darin's brother Eric's turn.....

Momma Mary.....

Moi...so focused!

Darin tried endlessly to get in The Boy's game....to no avail.

We play many pool games, 8-ball, 9-ball, cut-throat, etc. We also play a game called bottle pool, and yes it is actually a game! Anyway, Darin and The Boy were trying to explain this game to Mary and Eric.....is was hysterical! Here is a picture, which doesn't do the story justice unfortunately!
By the end of the night, we were down to one cue stick (we started the night with 3).
And last but not least, here is the pool room mascot....the possum. That poor guy is so abused!

State fair....a few weeks late!


Hey all! I have been a busy, busy girl lately! I have been putting in a lot of time getting my website up and going. I am going to try and catch up on some posts tonight!
I went to the state fair a couple of weeks ago with my mom and dad and The Boy. I really wated to get some classic/nostalgic shots of fair food, carnies, etc., but that didn't happen. My mom and dad wanted to get there early, which is good when you are checking out the livestock and agriculture stuff, but not so much when you want to get the shots I wanted. Oh well, there is always next year!
The theme for the California State Fair this year was "The California State Fair goes Hollywood". It was pretty cool. They had a bunch of makeshift sets and some actual props from movies like Air Force One, Star Wars, The Patriot, and Back to the Future. I wish I had brought a wider angle lens so I could have gotten the whole Delorean! But this will have to do. It was pretty cool. Remember the Flux Capacitor?


After we finished looking at all of the props we ahd to walk through a gift store and I had to snap some pics of the SMURFS! Man I used to love that cartoon. Matter of fact, I recently picked up Season 1 on DVD....Crazy!
Papa Smurf

Gargamel....aka Gargasmell....hehe!



Remember the book Where the Wild Things Are? I thought this Vase was absolutely amazing! I can't believe they only won 2nd place! It looked like a grand prize winner to me.

Flower Time!
