Photography

So I really like taking pictures but don't have the right equipment. Here are a couple of pictures I took while in Flagstaff, Arizona last summer. As you can see in the sailboat pic, half the trees on this mountain were burnt crisp black...ouch!

Family Christmas party

Hannah Montana by day...(Oops-is that guitar PINK?)



& Guitar Hero by night!



So addicting...


Now that we live by family, we are able to get together with them for holidays. Christmas night we got together, played guitar hero and ate and ate...yum!


The kids exchanged gifts-it was so good to see everyone!

Santa's good list

Brock got some cool toys this Christmas-so sad that his eyes (you can see a little in pic) got all gunky but he was lots better by Christmas! Trey got a new train set and Brock a car race track. They both wanted the other's toy of course!

Tagged

My good friend Ashley tagged me so here goes...
Lets try this:
1. Grab your nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag 10 different people. (5 will do too)

The nearest book was the one I am currently in the process of writing...

"But there was more to it than the warm memories, now. She recognized how they would never be the same, and along with those traditions, funny jokes only the three of them could know about, and Ava's wedding day came a painful memory of just them. Perhaps this memory will come with a happy ending after all, she hoped."
-The Adventures of Janie and Ava Gray trilogy Sisterly Love (by me)

Whew! Those are some ugly sweaters!

The Read Family had us over for their new annual Ugly Sweater Party. Needless to say it was a blast and such a great idea! Here are a few pics from our night


Ty's wig only added to the ugliness...good work!




Nice Shoulder Pads!



And the winners were...DAN AND STEPHANIE



John, Dan, and Ty trying to beat the girls at an intense game of madgab!

Christmas concert

This Christmas was so much fun! Here is a pic of Brock struttin' his stuff down the red carpet on his way to the stage for his concert. It was so fun to watch him enjoy the songs he learned in his first year of preschool! Love ya Brocky!

Brock and Scotty Frederick were so cute up there doing the choreography and singing right along!
