Yellowstone and Tetons 2009...

I know these photos are older, but they are so amazing. I was able to take some really wonderful pictures that turned out well enough that it appeared (only appeared) that I knew what I was doing with my camera! Can't wait for our annual trip back this year...the place is really one of the most amazing on earth. Enjoy!

One year to six years...where does the time go?

So...it's amazing to think little Ethan is six and a half years old! Our lives grow and change every year, and I thought I'd post some photos from the past five years. Unfortunately I don't have any digital photos earlier than about 12 months old, but I am working on getting that remedied! Here's a sampling of our trips to Hawaii, Yellowstone, the holidays, school activities and all kinds of family fun with Ethan and I!

Q. Do Guinea Pigs have allergies..? A. Yes.

Ethan's first pet, Mario the Guinea Pig, is apparently allergic to dust. Yes...the rodent is allergic to dust. So we are now having to buy the really expensive shredded paper bedding to avoid an upper respitory tract infection...why didn't we get a fish?

The great part is that Mario suits our family so well with his allergies and finicky eating habits...he will only eat vegetables and hay, he just stared at the pellet food then looked back at me like I was crazy.

We will take some more cute pics of Mario soon, he is a great new addition to our family, albiet a high maintenance one..I still need to find out how and if you can bathe Guinea Pig...
