Mine! Mine! Mine!

In February Tara came up to Seattle for a visit and a foto gig. We went to Pike Place Market and got a dozen of the yummy donuts. We had a bunch left and decided to feed the pigeons. Much to Tara's surprise the seagulls swooped in within seconds. Swooped in. Almost attacking Tara...notice the flinch?

The seagulls were not sharing with the pigeons at all.

Here the seagulls are at least pretending to listen to Tara's lecture about sharing. But it didn't stick in their little bird brains. Poor pigeons.

ASIMO

ASIMO is a robot that Grandpa Bob and Grandma Katherine saw at Disneyland and that is featured in Hunter's Cool Stuff 2.0 And How it Works book.

Here he is at Disneyland in some sort of presentation.

And here he is in Hunter's book - sort of.

So to explain the picture from Hunter's book...The G1 has many wonderful applications, like the Coloroid game and Tangram Lite/Pro. But for Hunter the best application is PicSay that allows you to embellish fotos with titles, birthday cakes and, like Hunter's foto above, thought bubbles and diamond earings that are made with peer gold.

My favorite class

Here are some candid shots taken during my photography class. My professor took us to his car and then passed out 5 or 6 $8000+ cameras to play around with. We were learning about lighting, the girl in black was our model. Cool, huh? If only all my classes were as cool as this one. 

Blast from the past...

Next month is Todd's (and probably our) final choir trip with Parma Singers. One year we were lucky to have both Manda and Tyson on the same trip to SFO. That was fun! We saw the crazy bush man, went to Alcatraz and here's a photo of Tyson, Debbie and Manda at Six Flags just before they were hoisted lots of feet in the air then dropped in a group bungee jump. They loved it. Me? I almost wet my pants just watching.

Who...

Who's a pretty, pretty Princess?

Update

Am I the only one posting here? Come on, let's hear what everyone else is up to!! Here's the latest picture of my ever huge belly. I'm 23 weeks along now.

Disneyland!

I know, I know, I'm totally late posting this, but I'm trying to catch up. Grandpa Bob, Grandma Katherine, Ranee, Steven and Karley went to Disneyland the first week in February. We had tons of fun, took lots of fotos, and even encountered an old acquaintance.

Here's Karley being smushed by Steven's very LARGE, very good deal TV in the back seat. Thank goodness it was only 10 minutes from the airport to the hotel.

Here's our acquaintance we made the last time we visited the Haunted Mansion in April of last year. He was just as creepy this time as last.

And here's Katherine being attacked by Baloo.

We had a great time...the grandkids and older kids got pretty tuckered out.

Tara's 22nd Birthday

Thanks to everyone who texted, called, emailed, and facebook'd me yesterday, I'm so loved! Here are some pictures from my adventures yesterday.

Jon decorated a cupcake for me. The red frosting mass is supposed to be the Canadian flag and the blue frosting mass is supposed to be an American eagle. :)
