Summer Happenings

Whew....I just got done uploading 392 pictures from my trip to Shutterfly.   Now I need to figure out which of those get shared here, but until then I thought I would do a very quick recap of my Summer up until the time I left on my trip.

These pictures are out of order also, sorry.   I wish Blogger had an easier way of managing pictures, but they don't, and I don't have enough time to monkey with them.  



I drove into California and my car registered 105 degrees.  I drove out in a torrential rain pour and my car registered 41 degrees (scroll down for pictoral proof of 41 degrees).   How's that for some extremes?   


On my way I decided to stop at Donner State Park.  It was so beatiful, that I had to take a little hike/walk around the nature trail.





Did you know that Walt Disney was the Chairman of Pageantry for the Winter Olympics held in Squaw Valley?  I didn't.   But this flag pole has taught me otherwise.   You just never know where you will find a little gem of knowledge.


This monument stands 200 feet tall (I think) and represents how high the snow was during that fateful winter.


Ahh, here it is.


I spent some time with my favorite girls.

Kylie Chillin.


Delaney dressed up. 



3 Cowgirls.  Yee haw.   I like the rakish angle that Kylie has chosen for her hat.


I finally learned the name of this sculpture in the Salt Flats.  It is not the Tree of Life as previously thought, but it is actually called - Metaphor: The Tree of Utah.  Yah I don't know either.  It is a bad metaphor if no one gets it...I am guessing.


My dear, dear friend Jenny got married.   Isn't she so pretty?


I attended my beloved Highland games.



I went to a few concerts.  

Keane


The Shins


I saw some baby ducks.


And a pretty tree.



The end!


(soon to be followed by too many pictures of Denmark and Sweden, rest up)

Cali XMAS 2012

Here are some pictures from my trip to Hollister in December. They are in no particular order because I can't stand how long it takes to upload pictures to Blogger. :)




The great Snuggie Swap of 2012. I was thrilled to receive a Snuggie (a 'Real' one) this year especially since I get so cold in the morning on my Conference calls. Mine, as you can see pictured above, had monkeys. Delaney got a pink one. And since Delaney is called 'Monk' (short for monkey) in her family, we thought a swap might be in order. I hope no one minds that we swapped. I must confess that it wasn't until after we swapped that I noticed, the Monkey Snuggie has a place to put your hands and the Pink Snuggie does not. I contemplated taking the Monkey Snuggie back, but then decided that would be rude.





Kylie opening her birthday presents. Diapers from Aunt Heather. Aunt Heather is super boring...sorry Kylie.

Cute!


I do enjoy these off kilter self portraits. Melissa is pretty!



Poor Kylie. It is probably hard being one, and having everyone make you do things like take pictures with your Aunt...and then your Aunt doesn't even get you in the picture because she is a picture hog.







I like this picture. Hopefully my Sister does as well because it is now posted on my Blog for everyone to see.







This is Delaney demonstrating the song and dance she will perform on New Year's Eve. It was...umm...entertaining. I liked it, I have to say...but I think my Dad thought it was too loud.



Sweet girl!





Delaney showing off her beautiful ring.



The End.


Resolution Update

  • I have read 3 more books from the library, and have 3 books to go. Also, I joined a book club. So hopefully this will encourage more library reading.

  • I have eaten celery a few times this week.

  • I started drinking more herbal tea during the day.

  • I can't stop watching Hoarders...Sigh.

Gratitude Month: A few of my favorite things....Nieces and Nephews.

Since we celebrate Thanksgiving in the Month of November, I have decided I should post one thing I am grateful for each day this month.


Today (and everyday) I am grateful for my awesome nieces and nephews.



Delaney - whip smart, imaginative, soccer star



Kylie - smiley, tender, and loving

Samuel - sassy, fearless, and sweet


Tanner and Tanielle - this picture is way too old. They are both in High School and so grown up. But how cute are they in this picture? So cute!
