Tested out my new camera

Tested out the new camera on the baby twin girls!
Their mom, Michelle is an awesome mother of four.
Michelle's mother, Pam is a very good friend of mine and
I get the pleasure of hanging out with her grandkids.

Addison was tired and ready for her nap
but, she's was so adorable

                                          Olivia was all smiles

This is their big brother, Owen.

What a great class!

Canon upgrade!

 I've had my digital SRL for five or so years.  
I love it and it's been the best camera.
I've taken thousands and thousands
of photos with this camera.

Canon Rebel XT

But .... it's time for an upgrade!!

Facebook

I'm finally on Facebook.  So far about all I figured out is how to add friends, chat with a few people, and add a profile picture.  Then there's my wall, news, messages, more friends to add, etc.  What a great social network.  I'm gonna enjoy connecting with family & friends.

Grand Canyon trip

First day............
My job was crowd control.  Keep the tourist out of the area mainly for safety issues.  It was fun, even though one of the climbers felt the need to coach me on what to do when the crowds started to show up.  I'm like..it's cool I can handle this...but he insisted.  (annoying).  Just to let you know no one (okay, one lady and one man did cross the tape) caused me problems.  It was fun meeting people from all over the world.  Bus loads of people!   Everyone was very nice and amazed with the Canyon.
see the yellow caution tape?
the climbers getting set up, this took longer than I thought,
 but safety is huge

According to Kerry, she's the master of smore's.
(I agree)

Grand Canyon trip

Second day....
We came around the corner and could see Kerry and Liz along the canyon wall.  Once we got closer I was able to get better photos of them.  They are amazingly strong to cling to the walls.  Overall, a great trip and being at the Grand Canyon is always the best.


I found a nice safe place to sit and watch


Liz, she looks like a spider on the wall
