Heirloom Chair

My grandma was about 8 years old when she got this rocking chair and now it's been passed down to my mom. While in Idaho she wanted to take pictures of all the grandkids in it - here they are Mom (and Grandma!) in age from oldest to youngest grandkid:

Top Three Contenders

I post on a photo blog - M24 - where a challenge word is posted and then you have a certain amount of time to take a photo that fits that challenge. Here's the finalists from my most recent challenge:

Pool Time

Cameron recently started swimming lessons. The kind of lesson where just Cameron gets in the pool with his class and instructor. Lets just say the first lesson went less than stellar. Cameron cried The. Whole. Time. That screaming kind of cry. I was getting awesome dagger looks from the other moms watching. Faaannnnttttaaasssttttiiicccccc.

We decided that we need to go to the pool more often as he'd only been around twice in the past year. So we headed to the Y for some family swim time. Cameron did get in the pool without screaming for us- but only after he saw AzMan and Ryan having a good time. (Please excuse the Even crappier phone pics)

Ryan's Birthday

For Ryan's birthday I had to work in the morning and then for dinner we celebrated and went out to eat at Cracker Barrel. We have one down the street and we hadn't gone since we have moved here. We all had a really nice time- and Cameron and AzMan were on their best behavior. And, yes, AzMan's best behavior does include deliberately dropping food - but give the kid a break, he's not even one. Here are some pics - please forgive the terrible quality- they are from the cell phone.

Lots of food for a good price- we had Lots of leftovers! Yay for leftovers!

*Gasp* I do exist! Don't you dig my awesome scrubs??
