I spent the past couple of days updating photos only to find out that we had exceeded our limit.  Now under Christmas 2009 it only shows three out of the fifty odd shots that we have in that gallery.

New ones that did go through are Rockband, Thanksgiving at Marcella's, ROTC Change of Command for 2009, Hugh Sam's Visit to Carson City, Halloween 2009 and Snow Day.

In the Rockband photo gallery we have Terry, Kendra, Donovan, Ciarra and Kendra's bf Cody playing the game together. There are a couple of videos in there as well. This was during the Summer of 2009.

In Thanksgiving at Marcella's we have Shelia(Mom), myself and Darion at Marcella's first Thanksgiving in her new home. Kendra, Donovan and Ciarra spent Thanksgiving with Gma Valladon at Disneyland and Universal. Terry had to work.

In the ROTC Change of Command 2009 gallery, we have some good shots of Kendra being promoted at the end of the school year. There are also some good shots of Cody and Kendra, their platoons and the whole company. I do have this years ROTC Change of Command 2010 images but don't have room yet in the online gallery...those will come up at some point.

In the Hugh Sam's Visit to Carson City, my daughter Darion and her adoptive parents Chris and Cindy Hugh Sam came out for a visit.

In the Halloween 2009 image gallery, we have Kendra dressed as a vampire kitty for the Halloween party that her and Cody went to. Terry dressed up as a puppy, Darion dressed up as a cheerleader and I dressed up as a kitty. I dragged them around Carson City in the cold, just so I could get a lot of shots of the Halloween celebration.

In the Snow Day gallery, Kendra and Darion went outside to get some shots of the 14 inches of snow that fell here in Carson City this past winter. CHS called in an actual "Snow Day". Well, that should about round that up.

We do have more images that we are working on getting up and we will try better at updating this site. :) In the next update, we'll go by gallery to catch up on all that's happened since last year or so.

First, I want to say that we have a "ton" of photos that we haven't gotten off the camera yet.  Soon...

Last month the Carson City Library had a e-book project where Kendra, Donovan, Ciarra and myself took apart in. To read and see the collaborative e-book click the link below and you'll be promted to download it and watch via Windows Media Player.

Welcome to our new all-in-one family site. No more separate blogs under one roof; instead we will all just post here.

Over the next few weekends, we will be adding our collected photos to the image gallery. Birthdays, family outings, the past few Christmas celebrations… all the pictures we’ve taken up to this point will be here to share.

Oh, and this past Halloween was a special one with the kids all decked out in costume. Kendra was a necromancer, Donovan was a ninja turtle, Ciarra was a fairy princess and I was black cat. We even have some shots of Terry wearing pink bunny ears… which really are pics not to be missed!
