Photo Update!

I have uploaded all of my photos from Decemeber 2008 until now.  I’m going to list them in reverse order (newest first).  I have also added most of these photos to the Walmart photo center, so if you want prints, you can get them easily (only 9 cents a photo for a 4×6).  I have also added archives (zip files) to most albums, so that you can download high-rez photos of a whole album.  If anyone has any problems with them, let me know!  I hope you like them!

Halloween and Other Things…

To start, I missed a few photos from the weekend before last, so here they are. We also (on top of everything else!) broke open a geode. A geode is a rock formation that has crystals growing inside it. They sometimes have cavities inside them, so they sound hollow sometimes when you hit the outside of them. Tom bought a couple so he and Laurianna could break them open. She wasn’t too thrilled with the sound of the blade on the rock though, so I helped Tom finish it up.

A Fun and Spooky Weekend!

Spooky Painting!

This weekend, we went up into St. Clair to the St. Clair Plaza, for Halloween painting on the windows of the stores in the mall. Laurianna painted a ghost, a moon, and four pumpkins (only because I thought she needed more pumpkins, hehe!) She also signed her name on her work of art, but had to put her name on two lines, because her name is so long! They had donuts and cider there, and some spooky witches passing out the paint. They thought I was from a newspaper or something, because of my camera. When I told them that I bought the camera when I had money, and we all knew I didn’t have any now, they laughed their hats off! They thought that was pretty funny; I’m glad I could give them some humor on that cold day. Laurianna also went to see the clown they had there, and she got a bat tattoo. She loved that tattoo so much that she didn’t wash her face until Sunday night!

Kitchen Creations

Yum-eh!

Recipe Extraction

Tom was working on some more recipes today for his family cookbook. He made Grandma Closs’s Lemon Angelfood Cake and also her Golumpkis. He got his parents to come over, so he could pick their brains about some more recipes.

Golumpkis

It was easy to get them over, once he told them what he was making :) Laurianna enjoyed licking the spoon, and she also said that she wants to have Golumpkis every night now! Woah, slow down, they take a long time to make!

Another Fun Weekend :)

Pig Roast Anyone?

(My poor dad just doesn’t deserve the torment I give him… But, hey, I love him anyway, this is just how I show it :) )

Another fun weekend!

World of Rocks

We started out going to two stores where we could get some rock specimens. Tom has gotten back into rock collecting and tumbling, and he is trying to get Laurianna interested in it too. She is interested, just more in the pretty rocks than in the work that goes into it. Surprise, surprise, right? The first store had many different rock specimens, already polished rocks, shells, petrified wood, float copper, and other small gift type items.

A Stormy Sunset and Two Monkeys up in a Tree!

Yesterday I took a few sunset photos. There was a storm rolling in the other day near our house around the time the sun was setting, so I took a few photos. They aren’t bad, but I had problems taking photos around the phone lines. We have so many around the house, it’s hard to get a photo without them! Well, I still like how they turned out, what do you think?

Fun Times this Week and More Photos

I have been taking a ton of photos lately.

9/27/2008 – We had a bon fire the other day in our backyard. We had some mudslides (yum!), and some s’mores. Sam and Samara came over, with Jackie, and my parents too. My mom got spiffy with carving sticks for marshmallow roasting (because the metal skewers aren’t good for that sort of thing!). I got Tom eating a s’more, so I can take it in as evidence to the doctor, lol! Samara enjoyed her mudslide, and Sam showed off his butt, again… /sigh Also, my mom was getting cold, because the bonfire was not quite warm enough, so Tom decided to go get some 2-cycle gas/oil to spice it up. Talk about Ooompa! Tom loves to be the pyro!

I also took a few bug photos (I have been taking quite a few lately, it’s fun!). I have a grasshopper and couple of bees in this set.

Snow!

My Birthday

Chuck E Cheeses

Bowling with Jen’s Family

Alls going pretty well. We are a bit stressed from moving and holidays, but things are settling down. I can’t wait until spring though! This cold is just tooooo cold! Don’t get me wrong, I missed the snow, but it’s cold snow. Can’t we have warm snow??

I’ll try to write more later, when time is available. (I think I’m doing pretty well just getting the photos up!)

I hope everyone is doing well! TTYL! :)

Update

Well, here we are again! I have uploaded photos from my sister’s reception (yes, she did actually get married!). I also uploaded some photos we took at a waterpark in Michigan while we were up there for Tim’s wedding (they were disposable, waterproof film cameras, what can I say? I’m not good at keeping up with developing film anymore…).

Also, one more event of note, I finally received my Associate of Applied Science in Web Design, woot! (Yes, I know, I need to update THIS site. But, let me tell you, I have to have TIME in which to do it! It’s kind of low priority. :) ) I will be starting again in January for my Bachelor in Web Development, so wish me luck!

I hope everyone is doing well!
