Family Shenanigans

Getting silly on the couch. Thankfully I got a good picture.

Visiting Dignitaries

That's what my husband calls out of town guests. They certainly are important.



Grandma and my girl getting in a few last snuggles and hugs before saying good-bye for another half a year.

(btw, I think this is one of the best photos I've take this whole year)

Thinking of the Holidays

And before I forget, please go here to help make a little boy's dream come true.

Happy Holidays Y'all!

Be sure to check out my 365 Project HERE.

Fireworks

Took some fireworks pictures on the 4th of July, my first try. It was really fun, and from the beginning to the end of the show, I learned quite a bit and look forward to my next opportunity.

Anyway, I wanted to share some here.

HERE is my 365 Project, going on now.

Happy Fathers Day to my Two Favorite Fathers

My Dad will say he doesn't like this pic but I love it, because I love my Dad! Hi Dad!
And then my Husband, also known as my Baby Daddy, Happy Fathers Day, I love you!

My Kids Father - AKA my Husband. He's the one with the Guitar.

Vintage Necklaces at NYE

I believe Mary was wearing this necklace, she of the Space Needle appetizer creation.



And I think this was my friend Mindy's necklace.

Space Needle Appetizer for New Years Eve

And no, I'm not even joking about this one. Brought by a VERY creative friend to a party for NYE. Its all savory foods, and stood about 2 1/2 feet tall. F'ing Awesome is my vote. Sorry the pics are so crappy, I didn't know I'd need my tripod at this one - heh-heh




Hope you all had a happy and safe New Year. Hello 2010.

December Greeblepix Contest Entry

I took 36 pictures of this ornament, something I'd been planning for 3 or 4 days. Or at least thinking about it, how to set it up etc. I really wanted some nice bokeh and a warm light. I edited 6 of them, and finally decided this was the best mix of all that was desired.

And, I love this ornament. Everyone in the family gets a similar one this year, but this is my fave. I like what it says.


Anyway, this is my Greeblepix entry for this month. Go visit Aimee at Greeblemonkey and look at everyone elses entries, there are always amazing photos!

This Photo Speaks For Itself.

Funny, it looks so much better in black and white.

Betty, the Christmas Puppy

She's a few weeks early. But not really.

Baking With Monstergirlee (Thanksgiving Prep)

Today I baked Banana Bread, Pecan Pie and tried a new technique on my turkey, I went with a Dry Brine. Basically you salt the turkey and let it sit for 3 days. Supposed to be good.


Pecan Pie


And the Turkey, kind of an unappetizing picture but since it was part of the days food prep, here it it. The salt too.




It a four photo bonanaza today - enjoy.
