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).

Pumpkin muffins and apple crisps are on my mind. 🙂 Here is a totally awesome song (music) with a bittersweetness to it. I have this on repeat when I need... Continue Reading →
During lunch yesterday, I glanced over to the edge of the dinning table where this orchid was and was taken by surprise at seeing this bright magenta bloom. It had taken forever for it to bloom. I believe it was late spring when it grew a new stem but due to over watering some days... Continue Reading →
Kida is trading her guitar lessons for violin lessons. She picked up her violin yesterday and was the happiest angel on earth. She'll be taking classes through her school. Here is a violin piece that sends chills every time I listen to it. Definitely worth listening to. If you like the violin photo above, you... Continue Reading →
Recently, I've been craving papaya salad with Romaine lettuce. The freshness and crunchiness from the lettuce combined with the sweet, sour, and spicy papaya is like heaven. The spicy peanuts on top makes it heaven x2. I only bought a small papaya salad so I finished it all in a day and a half. I... Continue Reading →
