Lunar Eclipse

We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to see the lunar eclipse Monday night. It had been snowing and raining all weekend, and the forecast called for the weather to continue through the week. Even …

Carson City Christmas Tree Lighting

Sometimes I don’t want to carry the big camera around with me. Like if I have both kids with me, and I have to keep an eye on both of them in a crowded area, and we’re going …

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween (a few days late).

Pumpkin Carving Party

Pumpkin Decorating Party

Last night we went to a friend’s house, met some other families, and got all our kids together for a pumpkin decorating party. Less messy than a carving party, a decorating party is where you get foam stickers …

Apple Hill, Part 1

Jack’s Birthday at Lake Tahoe

Our first day there we went to the Sacramento Zoo, always a favorite place for us and the Boyz.
