Kitty in work bag

I can't say exactly when I took this picture, but it was within the past week. Kitty decided to enjoy the comforts of my work bag. I thought it was cute...

2008 Safeway International

Dad and I made our annual trek out to the Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club (about 40 minutes away) yesterday to take in some LPGA golf at the 2008 Safeway International. I just have a couple pictures, since cameras weren't really allowed, but the weather was perfect for golfing!

Views from Black Mountain

On March 11th I was contacted to Photograph a 2.3 million dollar lot up on Black Mountain in North Scottsdale.  They were looking for sunset views & city light views.  The view from there is absolutely spectacular!

Random at Dad and Mom's

When we stopped by Dad and Mom's yesterday, I snapped off a few random pictures. Of course, some may need some explaining...

Working in Perry, GA

I had a job last week in Perry, GA.  What in the world would anyone do there you might ask.. well it was only "The Rally" pinned as the Greatest RV Rally in the world!!  Exhibits, Seminars, Events, Entertainment, Tours, Scenery, Fun, the biggest event of the year for the RV enthusiasts!  Ok, so now that I've spit out what they say, it really was pretty fun.  Although I didn't see much but my booth & the entertainment at night.  So what was I doing there?  I was working with W. Scott Mitchell Photography, the "official" Rally Photographer!  I was selling the Aerial Photo they take of the Rally every year.  (below is last years photo, in Redmond Oregon, this year's isn't on the site yet)  There were about 3400 RVs at this years event.  

So basically that was my week.  So, one day these two girls were on our isle & they were taking pictures of their groups booths.  Mark Skalny (another photographer friend of mine) was sitting at the booth with me & said (to the girls) "What you don't want to take our booth's picture?!"  The girls just laughed & Mark said "it's probably Holly's fault"  To which the brunette said, "My Fault?!"  Mark said "No, hers!"  & pointed at me.  So we thought it was cool that we were both Holly's.  Now, I'm sitting there looking at her badge (you have to wear them) & I can barely make out her name.  So I ask her....  

How Random is this!!

Spaghetti and meatballs

We all had dinner at Mom and Dad's tonight...spaghetti and meatballs...and banana cream pie...and chocolate chip cookies... This evening was perfect for eating outside, so that's exactly what we all did.

Holly was telling a story

Banana cream pie!

Chocolate chip cookies!

Granite Tile Kitchen Countertops

Well, they're FINALLY done! Holly and I sealed the new granite tile kitchen countertops over the weekend, and we absolutely LOVE them! Be sure to stop in and say HI next time you're in Arizona! :-)

Spring is here!!!!

At least I think "Spring is here"! Anyway, the fruit trees are blooming so that's a good sign! Jeff keeps reminding me that I haven't posted anything in a while, well.......I've been busy! It takes a lot of time to be everyone's "gofer"! But I thought I'd take time out of my busy schedule to post some pictures of my geraniums and various plants....the geraniums have gotten huge since I planted them.

Ostrich Festival 2008

The Ostrich Festival is the big thing going on in Chandler right now, so last night, we (Mike, Holly, myself, and Allison) made the very short trip to watch some ostrich and camel races, eat some good food (well, mostly good), and enjoy the Vertical Horizon concert. With the sun up, the weather was amazing (about 75 degrees), but once the sun set, it definitely cooled down quickly. Luckily, we came *mostly* prepared with sweatshirts and big blankets.

Upgrade Day 2

Day 2 has come & gone.  Our house is full of dust of all sorts!  When walking through the kitchen you must wear shoes & of course you hear this *crunch, crunch* Which I'm sure you'll know Mike loves!  We are very excited to have it almost done, it looks amazing, even though it's a disaster! 

Travis working hard & Dakota making sure he does it right.  

Backsplash up!

over all - so far!

UPGRADE!

Mike & I have been doing little upgrades to our house from Day 1.  We've tried to document them on the website (or make Jeff do it!)  Recently, we decided that since we'd be living her for quite some time, we really wanted Granite countertops.  So After some extensive research, we found tile to be a bit cheaper & just as beautiful!  So here we are in Day 1 of our Demo/Install.

Day 1 Demo

We decided on Uba Tuba as our Color choice, up close it looks like this

A few new plants

I decided not too long ago that some old plants in my yard had to go...including a fairly large oleander bush near my driveway. Yesterday, Allison and I went to Lowe's to pick out a new "full sun" bushes and/or flowers. Thankfully, she had also helped me dig out the old plants prior to our Lowe's trip. And now, for the additions (or replacements) to the yard...

New flowers for the pot:

Some kind of fern plant, I think:
