Weekend fun!

Here's a few pictures from our weekend. Enjoy!

Camera fun (we still have a lot to learn)...

Playing in the sun(it's been a long time since we've seen sun here) ...

Jillian's latest hobby - making yarn bugs ...

Yet more pictures!

Here are a few pictures of the lastest happenings at our house...poor Sadie will be very bored when Gidget goes home tomorrow...






And the beauty of a camera with a great zoom ... Camryn took this one ...

This is Gidget saying, "I miss you Mommy! Come home!"

Our anniversary vacation

Okay, most people would take a great vacation for their 20 year anniversary ... but, for several reasons, we didn't. Instead, Addison surprised me with the absolute best gift today - something that we both can enjoy for many years to come - a new camera! No, not just any camera ... a brand, spanken new Nikon D90 SLR! WOW! Only in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine owning one of these beauties! I have been asking for a DSLR for about a year now - but never thought I/we would get a NEW one! Ya know, buy one of the older models and it's cheaper - but I guess this is cheaper than a vacation for us two - okay, maybe not - but it will last longer! Now we need to figure out how in the world to use it! Here are a few action shots from this evening (without even reading the manual yet).




And here is a picture of our house guest.

Leprechaun Mischief

Well, the magical leprechauns were less than kind to us this year. Two years ago they tainted our toilet water and milk green - along with many other pranks. This year, Jillian made a wonderful trap, in hopes of catching the tricky little guys - but they were worse than ever. Instead of tainting our milk and toilet water, they just mocked us with their Leprechan Slime! Our toilet, milk carton, back door, and even Jillian's trap were all covered with this nasty green slime! And to top it off, they even "greened" our dog! We'll get them next year...





But the good thing is the snow this morning was still white ... not GREEN!

Happy 20th Anniversary!

In case you are someone who reads blogs ... but not facebook ... here are a few pictures from our recent 20 year anniversary "date"!






Addison surprised me with a very cool dinner cruise on puget sound! I had no idea where we were going, and the girls were NOT going to give me any hints! Glad I dressed up for a change!
