New Camera

It never posts the photos in the order I want... hehe Oh well. I just wanted to share a few of the new photos from my new Sony SLR Digital camera that I got this weekend. I am in love with this camera! LoL I have that and the newest version of Adobe Photoshop Elements... I need extensive lessons on using both I think. The top picture of the deer was taken at the veterans park, and I challenge all of you to come up with a witty caption for that one. The next is a close up shot of a couple of the fish in our saltwater tank in the kitchen, we then have a photograph where I must boldly state NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS PHOTO hehe. It takes wonderful action shots. The next is an example of the panoramic feature, and last but not least the beautiful Skye with her doe like eyes so full of expression.

=o)

I hope you enjoyed!

Is This the Same Cute Boy?

Sara and Skyler came over for a visit this weekend and since Aunt Chrissy was no where to be found we visited one of our local salons for a much needed hair cut!! He looks like a 'big boy' now!

Ladies and gentlemen, David Midget has left the building!

Congrats sweetie! You are my hero (and my role model). Come on June 1!

This Isn't Utah!!

Quincy Blizzard of 2011

We thought you might enjoy a few snapshots of what life has been like here in Quincy since Tuesday. Life is just getting back to normal with hopes of school resuming on Monday--we've been out since early Monday afternoon.
Quincy is just not adaptable for 2o inch snows with blizzard conditions!!

The poor Christmas deer will now evolve into Easter (?) deer let alone the poor snowman lights that have completely disappeared!! Snow is at waist level in front of door.

Bryan brought two of his friends, Matt and Travis, along to help Dale clear out our snow. They did a terrific job and then the calvary--otherwise known as the city sent in their troops--two snow plows, two front loaders, and about six or seven dump trucks to remove the snow from the front!!!

There's a swing somewhere in the yard---but it'll be a while until we see it again!!

Hope everyone stays warm. All our love from the "New North Pole!"

Skiing!

Hannah and I finally got to go skiing Saturday. Travel, rain, and college applications have kept us off the slopes until now. So never mind the gale force winds, the zero visibility, the heavy, heavy snowfall, we hit Deer Valley Saturday. Hannah was trying out her Christmas skis for the first time and let me tell you, this girl can ski! I just do my best to keep up with her. And given the white-out conditions, that was more challenging than usual this time.

There were times when we just double over laughing because it was so insane to be sliding down a mountain going who-knows-how-fast without being able to see a foot in front of you. Fortunately the trees, chair lift towers, and signs are dark enough to at least be avoided.

It cleared up enough for me to take these action shots of her skiing in all the fresh powder. Talk about a quad-burner!

Now if Blogger will let me add one more photo I will show you how amazingly beautiful it was in Utah this weekend.

Love to all!

Happy New Year and the last word

More Christmas!

Part two of our Christmas recap features photos from Quincy. It won't take you long to see who the star of this production was!
