Cara's 30th Birthday Party

Cara turned 30 on the 12th, I threw her a small birthday party to celebrate the occasion. We had a BBQ at Cara's Mom's house since, it has more space and isn't currently a disaster area thanks to Hurricane Aven.

Here's the Birthday girl and Aven

I didn't get too many photo's I was running around cooking or otherwise getting things done. but here is a good one featuring most of the people that attended.
Pictured above: Dustin, kissing his son Payton, being held by Amber. Rob and Jaxon in the background along with Grace's butt. 'Nique on the right with my parents Christine and Dennis in the background. Not pictured is Rob and 'Nique's daughter Gwen.

Cara is Dances with Grace

I was just testing out a service that would post my photos from Iphoto to the Blog here quickly and easily so I needed to post a photo I had on the laptop. I picked this photo cause it's cute. This was taken last summer I think. Grace likes giving people hugs.

MillCreek Canyon in the Fall

We took a quick trip up MillCreek Canyon today, just a short walk along the snowy road with Grace. It was nice to get out of the valley. and Grace really needed some time out of the house. Anyway I thought I would post some photos we took on our last trip up MillCreak. Grace was with us that trip as well but she's not featured in any of the photos.

Here is me with my Halo.

I liked this little curve of the road so we stopped on the way down and took this shot. It was a beautiful fall day.

Here is a little waterfall in the creak by where we stopped for the above photo. I usually end up hating the photos I take of water but I like this one. Mainly because of the leaves that I am shooting through. I also used our new telephoto lens to get this shot.

Here's Cara sitting on the fence. I like the scenery behind her. I messed with the colors a bit in Photoshop to brighten them up, let me know if I went overboard.

Our Yard Panoramics

Here's the Panoramic photo I took of our back yard as promised in the earlier post. I told you it's not that good. I did it really quickly. Maybe someday I'll find time to make a better one. It does a decent job of showing how small it is back there.

Here's the original of composite of the photos before I cropped it. I like this one because it shows the neighbors giant tree that dominates the backyard, and it shows the porch off to the right. It also shows our cute dog who thinks I'm out there to play with her. Lucy's in this photo as well, You have click the photo to enlarge and look close, she's a small dog.

Here's the panoramic of our front yard. as you can see it's better quality but I missed a couple of spots for the bottom corners. But we still got a cute dog in there. I think she's trying to figure out if she can make a break for it.

This is from the same photo set It was later that day when we took Grace for a walk. I did this series for a project about my home and neighborhood. Taking Grace for walks in the nearby park is part of my neighborhood so I included it.
