'Tis the season to be jolly!


Last Friday Pendleton was dressed up in it's finest Holiday decorations. The street looks nice with all the pretty lights. Just thought I would share the beauty!
On Friday Yolanda and I walked to the Great Pacific after work and had a glass of wine while waiting for the Art of the Gift to open at the Arts Center. After our wine we walked up to the center and went through the various displays of crafts and art. I didn't see anything I really needed, but it was fun!
Saturday Tiah, Tara, Megan and I went to the Altrusa Holiday Bazaar. Wow! Pendleton came out in full force for this one. After the bazaar we drove to the Tri-Cities and did a little shopping there. Lunch was shared at the Red Lobster (always a great place to eat)!
Sunday Calli and Raegan came over from Baker City to enjoy the sunny day with us. Calli's request for lunch was her mom's fried chicken dinner. It is a favorite and fun to cook! We chatted and laughed and had a wonderful time.
A great weekend and fun memories.

A fun day in Baker City!


A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to Baker City to Visit Calli and the kiddies. The weather was perfect for picture taking so we ventured to the City Park to get some great photos with the leaves. The park was unbelievable! This first picture, though, is of Raegan in her Halloween outfit. She only took the abuse for a short time and then started wailing! I don't blame her, but she sure is cute.


Here is Calli with the missy.

Raegan didn't really want to smile, but I bet she was still having fun!

Taylor piled the leaves real high and then the boys took turns running and jumping into the pile. They were buried in the leaves a number of times and that was fun too.

I like this photo of the boys and their sis. Briley wasn't holding Miss Raegan at first and his pouting face was showing it, so we had Briley hold his sis and then everything was OK!

While taking pictures, I would have the kids give me some good shots and then I would give them the opportunity to make silly faces when I figured I got my shots. Here is an example. Very attractive, huh?!

I liked this photo of the whole family.

Calli and the boys.

Of course we had to do a shot in the leaves! It was so much fun, I was so glad we took the opportunity to share this fun. The next weekend the leaves were wet or blown away. Our timing was just right! Thanks kiddies....you were great!
