Exciting Announcement

No, it has nothing to do with my reproductive system. :) I have a new blog for my photography work!! Part of the reason why this blog has been neglected is I've been working hard getting the new one up and running. I did it all myself (to save money). I had to teach myself how to use wordpress (sorry blogger), and it took longer than I thought it would, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. 

I love doing photography, and when Keith was laid off from his job in April, it really got me thinking about having a little extra income. I'm not going gang-busters here, and I certainly will have to set some time limits on how much time I spend doing this, but even if I can earn just a little extra doing something I enjoy so much, it's worth it.

Summer Bucket List

We are doing pretty good on getting some fun things checked off our bucket list for the summer. I don't know that we'll make it to Wild Waves this summer (the weather has been yucky anyway and who wants to go swimming when it's 65 and cloudy), but we did go to two waterparks already - one in Montana and one in Utah, so I'd say that counts. We haven't taken Papa's boat out on Lake Washington yet (although Dad did while we were in Utah), we're going to try to sneak in Mt. Rainier in the next couple of weeks, and of course, we're doing Roosevelt the last week of August. All the other stuff we've done, and it's been a blast! Which also means I have a lot of blogging and pictures to catch up on. Promise to get to it soon....

Fuller Grandkids

My mom has tried to get a decent picture of ALL her grandkids for years now. It's HARD to get them all looking half-way decent at the same time. She asked if we'd try again when I was down in Utah last week at my sister's house. It's probably the last time all the cousins will be together for awhile, and we know how fast kids change. I think this one turned out pretty good. It's a good thing I learned how to do head swaps in photoshop or Grandma might never get a good picture!
