 Painting by Van Gogh How I would love to take my kids to all the major art museums of the world. Ok so that’s a far fetched dream, but Google has created this amazing tool called The Art Project. This nifty little program allows you a virtual tour all the major art museums of [...] In anticipation for my upcoming trip to San Francisco, I thought I’d put together some of the outfits I think I’ll be packing in my suitcase. I have my fingers crossed for good weather. Because San Francisco is on the bay they have a funny weather system and their nicest months are September, October, and [...] And we have been best friends! Ok, so I’m a bit late to post this. Our anniversary was July 28th but it took forever to get these pictures taken. I knew it would. Things happen and that always fell to the bottom of the proverbial totem pole. Anyway, yep, it’s been 10 years now and [...] Plenty of lobster plus… plenty of brown paper plus…
lots of seating for great friends…
the wine cannot be forgotten either…
all makes for a stupendous lobster feed.
The kids are always enthralled with the lobster.
As if lobster weren't enough, as it was getting to be dusk…
we had an out door jam [...] I just wanted to share some of the wedding photos that I took about a month ago. It was a low key affair but it was the first one I have ever done and that considered I was quite pleased with some of the shots. I love to take photos but I have to admit [...] I don't think Taite has had very good photos on here of late, especially the hospital ones, so here are some better ones of her. This is my particular favorite. She's doing quite…
well!
The backdrop was amazing! I thought I’d share some of the family photos I took of Zac and Caitlin when I was out there for the 4th of July.
Here's what I came up with. I’m not really going profesh and all that but I have done enough photo shoots now that I needed a lovely way to package the CD’s that I burn. When I shipped off the wedding photos that I took in a jewel case (honestly the jewel cases are ugly) [...] Eric actually had the 4th off so we took a little jaunt over to my sister, Caitlin and Zac’s place in Wallowa, Oregon. If you have never been to Wallowa and if you should ever be on this side of the country, a stop in on Cait’s little B&B is a must. The weather was [...]
My in-laws are visiting and so we decided to take a little trip to Walla Walla. Walla Walla sweet onions Olive turned out to be a great little place to have lunch with five little kids. We had an upstairs room that looked down into the kitchen… where we were able to [...] A little Fox in the orchard. Well, half of my New Year’s resolution has gone a bit by the wayside. It’s the painting part. I’ve not been doing a painting a month. I have been painting, it’s just been things like the back porch. The photo portion has been going really well, though. I love [...] Grimy little spots from milk, popsicles, and bubble blowing soap. I decided my back porch needed a face lift and I have always loved the stained concrete look. That was the solution. Eric usually pales when I bring up home improvement projects, but this one he was on board with. For your benefit I used [...] Here is the little ice cream shop. My in-laws were out for Easter and stayed longer just to keep the kids so Eric and I could take a little day trip. We went to Walla Walla and ate black cherry Merlot ice cream, we rented bikes to ride through the old neighborhoods which were lined with [...] So will you be watching the wedding? swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.youtube.com/v/Kav0FEhtLug&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-11844-youtube-1″, “425″, “344″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes); A wonderful appetizer of asparagus and prosciutto. Our pastor and his lovely wife along with the help of my mom made the most amazing spring dinner for all the young couples in the church. There were appetizers, followed by a wonderful mushroom soup. Salad and fresh bread came next. We then had a palate cleanser [...] I thought I had better get this post out before Easter. Should your kids want to do a craft as mine are always wanting to do here is an easy Easter project for them. Run the paper through the shredder. Mix equal parts flour and water to form a paste, like paper mache, and mix [...] Here are some of the stamps I bought. A friend of mine and I went to an antique store and I came home with fourteen stamps and having spent no more than a dollar. Pretty good I thought and the stamps were so pretty. Now I just have to figure out what to do with them. Any ideas?
How cute is this? I think this is adorable and may just have to make one for Anwyn for Easter. I am right now working on their Easter outfits. Each year they get a new one and Anwyn’s is the most fun to do. Until now I have not found one that I would love [...] M is for Mischief I don’t think my kids are alone in this, but they love to hear stories about bad little children who end up getting their comeuppance. I have two such books, one I checked out at the library “M is for Mischief” by Linda Asherman and as I suspected if was a [...] Protraits are just not my thing. I made myself do it. I hate drawing people but here it is. They never look quite right when I’m finished but it’s good practice anyway. Next month I think I’ll paint a landscape. I bought some clayboard, which is what I prefer to canvas, to paint a landscape [...] |
