I took the girls trick-or-treating at the Southlands Shopping Center yesterday evening. My 4-year-old refers to the place as 'Halloween Town' because of all the costumes and the door-to-door store-to-store candy going on. The girls had a great time even though it was quite chilly. Once again, I used the free actions from dbox.tumblr.com on... Continue Reading →
My daughter just started the Children's Christmas Choir this year (she skipped last year's) and they will be singing "Silent Night" again. We were talking about how she could eventually play her violin during Christmas mass in the future and I told her I'd find an example of "Silent Night" on youtube for her to... Continue Reading →
It will be snowing for most the day today. These photos were taken this morning and I made them black and white because I think it looks better. I've also posted many snow photos in the past and wanted to make these a little different. Mentally, I'm ready for snow. Physically, I'm not. I'm still... Continue Reading →
We attended another year of the Knights of Columbus Halloween Party. The girls loved it. To accomplish the look of the above photos, I ran some actions on them. The actions were downloaded for free from dbox.tumblr.com.
During our stay in Vegas, we drove to Hoover Dam and took a tour of the powerplant. I've visited the Dam before in the couple of times I've been to Vegas (years ago) but I've never taken the tour (and I'm not sure why). It was pretty fascinating to learn the history and go underground... Continue Reading →
Photos of our road trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Hotel at Mandalay Bay. It was gorgeous, except for the headless statue near the self-park entrance. Kylie was scared of it so each time we passed it she would look the other direction or close her eyes while one of us held her... Continue Reading →
The family just got back from our road trip to Las Vegas. I'll be posting better photos soon. The photo above was taken with my camera phone during our drive through the mountains. We were stuck in the snow for about two hours because the roads were icy and someone probably either drove too fast... Continue Reading →
Husband thought these were creepy.
Woke up to snow this morning. It is still snowing this afternoon. Note (10.9.2011): These photos were taken in RAW and converted to JPG with no adjustments made in Photoshop (thus the lack in color and clarity).
This is the direct opposite view of the Maroon Bells. It was probably around 7:45 am when we started hiking. Some bushes and leaves were thinly frosted. The areas that received the sun's ray first had dew droplets on them. It was very magical and peaceful. Fly fisherman and paparazzis! Kidding. These Aspen trees stood... Continue Reading →
