Goodbye to Blogger?

Well, I knew this day would come sooner before later! I have completely run out of space on this blog for any more picture uploads (that's why the Shock post wasn't complete). I'm on the fence right now whether to start a new blog, either on Blogger or a different domain, or to maybe even to stop blogging. With Facebook, blogging seems a little redundant now (and FB takes way less time!).... but I do enjoy the creative aspect of blogs. I'll let you know what I decide!

We Will... Shock You!

The Keeneys were nice enough to hook us up with some cheap seats from Joe's work.... so off to the Shock game we went! Their season has been a bit shaky so far this year, but you'd never know it from last night's game, we stomped 'em! It was hard cheering against Dallas, but I managed.....

Apparently I'm a rookie again? This pic is totally out of focus, but I couldn't delete it!

Yeah they did!

Carnival 2011

Last night was our last major PTO function of the school year, the Carnival. It's a huge event that is always loads of fun.... and work! Every year that I've been on the board, we've lucked out and had beautiful weather for it and this year was no different. It was a gorgeous day and although Trav, A & I worked our butts off, we thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a little bittersweet, seeing as its our last, but the only thing constant is.... (you know)

The masses, starting to arrive

Our snack table

Our food table, we had some crazies working that, I tell ya! lol

Our principal's car!

Austin wanted to pose in front of the Jeep "for Grandpa Phil"

Some of A's classmates, trying to show the boys how it's done!

Always a big money getter for our auction. I had two photos in it as well from the WSU field trip that actually brought in some decent money too ;)

Kyle and his precious new little boy

Gavin Bear!

A picking his duck

Bren can even fish one handed, he's that good

A Look Back

Thanks to my awesome Dad & uncle, I've finally been able to get some of my family/childhood pix. The last couple months, I've been uploading, labeling, identifying and editing the ones I could. I now have them done! It's been so cool looking back and learning about my family. My ancestral pix are ones from my mother's side of the family......

I couldn't find a date for this one, but it's of my great grandmother, Essie (far left), and her brother & sister

My great grandparents, Essie & Alpha, on their wedding day, Dec 1914
