I finally got the rock photos cropped and posted! Husband has only used about 25% of the rocks in the backyard and it's almost completely covered. I wonder if we ordered too much. Kylie is plugging her ears running down to where her dad was standing. It was really loud. See the rocks on the... Continue Reading →
[8.2011: Kylie doing a balancing act] The backyard landscaping is moving along slowly but it's starting to take shape. I could almost see what it'll end up looking like. Husband and my father-in-law (FIL) trenched the yard a couple of weeks ago for the sprinkler system. Man, that was serious labor. This machine looks very... Continue Reading →
[Blue Dragonfly] A couple of days ago I saw this 5 inch dragonfly in our garage. I was getting ready to take Kida to her guitar lesson and noticed a bright blue colorful thing amongst the dusted cement floor. At first, I thought it was dead but then I touched the wings gently with the... Continue Reading →
I've been neglecting the orchids lately. This is a tribute to their loveliness. I took these photos yesterday of the master bath white orchids. These are the second set of blooms. The first set died out about a month ago when these were just coming in. I'm a bit sad to say that these are... Continue Reading →
[August 2008] There are days when I wish time would just stand still until I say, "I'm ready to move on." Yesterday, Kylie got the last two vaccinations she needed in order to start preschool. While at the pediatrician's office, she made the employees laugh with her goofy sense of humor. I thought she'd be... Continue Reading →

The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival took place on July 30th and 31st. My sibling’s band, One Sun One Moon (OSOM), played on stage yesterday. The temperature was well over 100 degrees but it was worth it. OSOM was awesome! Even if they weren’t my siblings, I would still think they were awesome. Here is a... Continue Reading →
This is a great remix by Josh Gabriel that I've really started liking. The vocals are soothing and even though the song has a fast beat to it, it's very calming. I first heard this song on Peter Wibe's iTunes Podcast on episode 006. I like how he mixes the intro so that it doesn't... Continue Reading →
Today was IKEA's grand opening in Colorado. Wish I could say I was in a tent waiting in line for two days but I didn't get that privilege. Instead, I went this morning with husband and the kids. As we approached IKEA, we could see that it was already pretty busy. Roads were blocked and... Continue Reading →
[1989] I was diggin' the barrettes with the large bows in those days and check out those earring! I believe they were my sister's. The hair used to be a lot more poofy. I think because this was at the end of that decade, the hair was slowly flattening. How clueless I was about myself... Continue Reading →
