Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! I decided to buy my own present!!! No one really wanted to buy me camera stuff so my mom and grandma gave me money to buy my own camera stuff so I did!!!! Drew and his family always wanted to me to find a hobbies, now that I have drew thinks it is a bit expensive but quickly remembered all off his hobbies we have sitting in our garage, hummm, Kayaking, Skiing, Snowboarding, and Rock-climbing oh and the four wheeler. He has no room to talk and indecently neither does the garage.

Back from Utah

Well we are back in Oregon. I all I heard at work yesterday is how crappy the weather has been, and frankly I am not seeing it 40 in December is not crappy!! I do however feel that we should not have to be mowing or lawn in December!!! The way back was seemed a little long and less entertaining photo wise anyway!! We have a new Niece, her name is Chloe and other than that I don’t have anything else to say.

OH and i got to see Jess for about 5 whole mins!!!

Trip to Utah

Well we left Coos Bay Saturday Morning at about 5:30 am. I am convinced that we chose the biggest storms of the year each year to travel in. Oddly enough just out of Coos Bay was the worst. I made a photo journal and here it is.


Just outside of Coos Bay

Trucks pulling out to put on chains

As soon as we got of Oregon everything was clear and dry and we even stopped for some site seeing

Utah first thing in the morning

The dogs traveled very well.

Oh i almost forgot we came to a sign weed or college humm???

P.S. I am in Price right now if anyone one is around ;) *hint *hint*

Star Light, Star Bright

Or in this case: Moon Light, Planet Bright. The brighter of the two planets is Venus and the slightly dimmer one higher in the sky I think is Jupiter. They were all very bright last night and the sky was clear so I took some long exposures of them. These two came out the best.

Thanksgiving

For some reason when I first visualized Thanksgiving this year I figured it would be something like yesterdays reheated KFC, I mean after all I had to work Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I did manage to get Saturday off (thanks Carol), But the craziest things happen when you have a house; people come to you! (I am sure being right by the ocean didn’t have anything to do with it.) Anyway Drew’s parents, grandparents and brother came to have Thanksgiving at our house. On Friday after I got of work we had our thanksgiving dinner. I even had time to make a few things. I was inspired by Jessie to take pictures of the food.

Since I had Saturday off we tried to cram all of our sight seeing into one day. (Drew, Scott, and Barb were busy working on the house the rest of the time.) You can view more thanksgiving pics here.

Newport Aquarium

Well the reason we haven’t blogged for so long is because drew said he wanted to blog about the Newport Aquarium. We meet Trevor and Erin in Newport a few weekends ago and went to the Aquarium. I got some good pics but Trevor thought I could be killing the fish with my flash ;) I am sure he was kidding… at less I hope so because that didn’t stop me. But i am going to keep this short and simple so drew can added one or make his own.
