Family photos

Friday we had a photographer come and take pictures of us.  She blogged a portion of the photo session on her website.  Check them out!!! I am so excited to see the rest.

Girls' Night out, the fall out

Story time with Gillian: Goldilocks and The Three Bears

I just happened to point the camera at her at just the right moment.  She would never have done this on que...

Nick-isms

(phone rings at work)
Nikki: "Hello, this is Nikki."
Nick: "Mom, I need my phone back."(Nick is currently without a phone because I sold mine in anticipation of the iPhone 3G, so I am temporarily using his and he has none)
Nikki: "Why, you only have a few more hours to go"
Nick: "I need to call Parker."(Parker is Nick's fair weather friend that lives behind us)
Nikki: "Just call him from the house phone, don't you know his number?"(Can't really hold that against him, I don't know anyones phone number either...my whole life is on my SIM card, or SEND card as my mother-in-law says)
Nick: "No, I don't know his number, it's saved in my phone. What am I suppose to do then, MANUALLY go and ask him to play?"

I have cute kids!!!

Here are a couple of pics of the kids from the last few days.  Nick loves to have his pictures taken...Gillian does not!!!  I have very few of Gillie looking at the camera.  She can't be bothered by such things.  I have tons of the back of her head!!! Nick on the other hand has never taken a bad photo. I have been seeing lots of photos these days where the subjects aren't square in the photos...I love them as you can see.  But since they are both angled the same way here, it's a bit dizzy-making (Uglies, anyone?)

Who decides these things????

Okay, so I am a little into Vampires right now.  Well, I have always been a fan.  I loved Buffy before it got all weird and Angel even though it never came on when I could watch it with any regularity.  Twilight made me revisit this genre and now I can't get enough.  My latest CD purchase was Vampire Weekend.  So Moonlight was prefect timing for me.  Big strong very hot male vampire with a health dose of morals meets vulnerable human girl with a knack for getting into trouble and voila!!! Instant hit!!!  But after only 1 season, some stupid big wig is pulling the plug.  How does a show voted best new TV show get cancelled???   With the Twilight movement gaining momentum, I can't help but think someone is making a HUGE mistake.  Where are all the devoted vampire groupies suppose to go???  This is all too upsetting.  I guess I will just have to make do with the adult vampire romance book series Shane found for me after enjoying the effects the teenage vampire book series had...  

Utah trip souvenirs

So I spent a great deal of time of my trip to Utah last week worrying about what to bring back for my kids...I brought back See's candy and t-shirts all around.  But the kids both flipped over my Maverick mug...I wonder if I can get someone to ship me some more????

Check out our website to see all my pictures from the trip.

It was fun to see everyone.  I will try not to wait another dozen years before I go back.
