Music

Last Nov the kids decided to become a band called "The Rockers". They made a big poster and set up a backdrop on my bed to hide the books behind it. They put some music on and danced and played to their sole audience: mom. They were very cute.

Today's theme is Dirty.

This picture was taken on a trip to Mt. Lassen, CA in 2002. Mt. Lassen is a national park. It is a dormant volcano and thus there is lots of volcanic ash on the ground. The kids of course are covered with it, much to their delight.

Today's theme is Happy.
Happy is eating Ice Cream....

Wordless Wednesday

This is my great, great grandfather, Ben Falk. He was one of the original founders of Anaconda, Montana. We'll be heading up there on Friday. I wrote a little post about our trip here.

Photo Hunt - Funky

I had to really search through my photo collection to find this. This is a picture of Tim and I so, so many years ago. This isn't our normal attire. We had actually dressed up for a halloween party as a couple of rock stars. I think we did a pretty good job of it.


PhotoHunt

Today's photo hunt theme is creative. Ian made this last year in art and even entered it in the county fair. He got a ribbon for participating. They don't give awards for kids 8 and younger. He was 7 when he did this.

The Saturday Photo Hunt for this week is Shiny. I had a little trouble with this one, but after thinking about it for a while (and rummaging through my stores of photos), I came across this one. The year is 2003 and Kristin had just finished reading her 100th book. The library gave her this beautiful medal and ribbon. She was very proud. And yes, I know it's Sunday. Better late than never!

This is my niece after a trip to Libby Lu. My daughter Kristin and my niece both love to go and have their hair done. When we travel to Atlanta, Libby Lu is always on the agenda.

My daughter had just made a smoothie with ice, whip cream and vanilla. She loved it and apparently so did the cat!

Today's photo theme is art. This is a drawing my daughter did in the summer of 2004. She was 8 years old. She did it free style with only verbal guidance from my husband. While she hasn't submitted this to the county fair. She has submitted other pictures and won first place. She's a wonderful artist and seems to truly enjoy it.

Today's theme is colorful. I took this picture back in April of 2005 at Safari West. Safari West is located in Santa Rosa, CA. At Safari West you get on a safari vehicle and they drive you around a large preserve with free ranging African animals. It was amazing to be that close to the animals. A little safari right at home.

Today's photo hunt theme is five. Trying to think of something even remotely interesting I came up with the idea of 5 hands with 5 fingers. Has anyone ever wondered why we have 5 fingers and 5 toes on each hand and foot? Why cats and dogs and 5 digits on their paws? Why there are 5 bones in a bats wing?

Perfectly Silly Pictures!
