Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com
I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the links on the right.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Happy Birthday to Thomas!

Happy Birthday Little Brother! The pictures below were sent to mom and dad from a VERY thoughtful family, the Warwicks, in New Zealand. Mom is probably still crying, I know I got weepy when I saw the pictures! It looks like he is doing great! Now if only we could get Thomas to send us pictures too!

This is the birthday cake Dave and I made to celebrate Thomas' birthday. Okay no, I just found it online. Happy Birthday!

We saw this place and decided to check it out kind of on a whim...and we LOVED IT and got a really great (for California) deal. Hurray for a backyard and two bedrooms! I'll send out more pictures in a month or so when we actually move.

Dave, Mary and I went to Disneyland Halloween Time on Friday, and it was pretty awesome.


Here are Dave and I in front of the Candy Corn Acres.

Going fast on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...actually, this ride was a little creepy...it ends by taking you into hell. Kind of weird message. In this picture, poor little Dave was scared because I was driving so crazy...just kidding, it's the photo op car in front of the ride.


Meeting Beauty and the Beast...


Haunted Mansion...we waited FOREVER for this one.

Fall into the Gap

Hola Tanneritos!!

Don't worry, I don't expect anyone except Eryn and Emily to get that opening....

Anyways, GapKids is having an annual casting call for models! At first I thought of submitting the photos from Dave and Buster's of Dave and my future children... but then I read they were looking for cute children and not alien lifeforms, so I quickly changed my plan to Katelyn, Mason, Hailey, and Brooklyn.



After spending some time scoping out the competition at:

I realized that this contest is basically in the bag.

Email me any photos that you would like to submit and I will post them all to the blog for the family to vote on. To start us off, here is a link to some photos I already had in a web album.
