When I was a kid, Mom would make buttered tortillas for us (seven of us kids) for breakfast then send us on our way to grade school. It has been a whirlwind raising my own kids. They are super picky. The older one doesn't like tortilla with just butter. She prefers quesadillas. I've made a... Continue Reading →
The family went to watch a baseball game at the Coors Field in Denver. The game started out great but the Rockies lost. We weren't there to see the end because we left when the second thunderstorm came through. I took some photos with my phone and did some editing with VSCO. This first photo... Continue Reading →
July was a busy month. Swim is done for my youngest. It was very intense and we're glad to be done with it but we will probably join a less rigorous swim team during the school year. School starts for my youngest this coming Monday. She'll be in 5th grade, the last grade in grade... Continue Reading →
This was my first hike this year. This was a really easy hike. The landscape was mainly flat so I did't get much workout in, which is fine for now since it's been awhile. The views were beautiful and very green. We laid down a couple of rocks for Kat, the girl who passed away... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month my girls performed their last dance recital. They've moved on to other activities as mentioned in a previous post.

I'm in the process of moving some large files over to another external drive to make room for those REF files from my camera, so while that's moving along in the background, I thought I'd share what I was painting the last couple of days. This was done using a reference digital painting by Larry... Continue Reading →
I've been reading and writing and just haven't been able to post a lot. I've also decided to return to college to finish my master's degree. I only have 7 classes left so I figured I might as well go for it. I've also begun to edit other writer's work because that's what I'd like... Continue Reading →
The kids are on spring break so I get a break from driving everywhere. With this little down time, I'm able to do a ton of stuff: write, draw, write, spend time on FB writing groups, etc. It's nice. I'm also reading a book that I'm almost done with and getting ready to review. A... Continue Reading →
