Weekend Recap and More...

Wow, is it really the end of the week already?  How did it go by so fast.   This last week has been so busy for me that I just lost track of time.

Last Thursday I had two of my favorite peeps come to stay with me.  Michelle flew in from Southern California and Suzy drove up from the Bay area to spend the weekend with muah.  I am so thankful to have such good friends.  We always have the best time together and last weekend was no different.  We spent Friday and Saturday at Its all about the Scrapbook where we hosted a fun crop together and Suzy taught a fun class.  Then, on Sunday I took the girls to Old Sacramento where we did some shopping, dining and did a fun photo shoot:

Upon getting their we realized that my tripod was broken (I have a 14 year old daughter to thank for that).  So we had to improvise (thank goodness Suzy is an amazing photographer and she can run fast).

  I had such a great time with my girls, I always enjoy their company.  They left on Monday, then I had to immerse myself in classes.  I am going back to work this Fall for Canon.  The marketing company that I used to work for contacted me about another job opening in my area.  It is not the same position as before, but luckily I still get to work with Canon and will be working hands on this time with their cameras.  The position is part time but will pick up to full time around the holidays, so I will not be blogging as regularly as I do now during November and December.

more fun photos

as promised, I am back with more fun photos.

A couple weeks ago, I went with my good friend Suzy West, her daughter Sierra, and my kids to Great America.

Here a few of the pics that I took there:

Sierra, Kalee and Matt


Suzy and I with Snoopy


had to get a photo of myself with the kids in front of the giant carousel

these are just a few shots that we took here. Great America was so fun, the kids had a blast!

During Suzy's stay with us we decided to spend a day in Old Sacramento. While we were there we took the kids to an old fashioned schoolhouse where they got to learn what it was like to go to school in the 1800's:



no computers or laptops here. lol


Doesn't Matthew look like he is having a blast? lol

we stopped for awhile in a fun candy store:





the guy behind the counter dared Matthew to try a chocolate covered cricket.


I don't think Matthew really believed him at first.


The look on his face when he bit into it was priceless.

I didn't get a good picture afterwards. He was to busy gagging. He said it was crunchy and gross. Hiliarious!

After all the excitement of the candy store wore off....

we drove down the street a little bit to visit our state capitol:

Sierra was so excited to take pictures
We had a great time visiting there and learning about State History.

I hope you enjoyed our vacation pictures. I have been busy printing them off and scrapping with them. I will post a few
pictures of some fun projects tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!
