January Sunrise


I was sitting on the couch with Andrew before school and looked outside to see a truly amazing sunrise. I pointed it out to Andrew who exclaimed "Wow!" I jumped up to grab my camera and took a few pictures. They don't even do it justice - it was beautiful!

Black Butte 2009

Every year we go to Black Butte after Christmas thru New Years. This year my sister came with her two kids Trevor and Ashley. The boys hit Hoodoo everyday and we went swimming and sledding. The weather was terrible - no snow and bare ground or snow at night and pouring rain in the day. Oh well, it was good together and spend quality time with everyone!

Michael shreddin up Hoodoo.... He got to snowboard everyday.... the perfect vacation for him!


Lady Gaga Snowman - Snowgirl - whatever!

A few cute pictures of the kids and my niece Ashley. Zach hates his picture taken and hides whenever I take it. So that's what you get with him....
