Scary Movie IV--Uncut!


Before we get to the movie, here is a picture that is back by popular demand: it's Duane, Chewy and a corndog! As you can see, this was taken a few years ago when Chewy was a pup and Duane was a little crazy. Some things have changed (and some really really have not)...





Okay, here it is: I should have had some great pictures from when we went to Vancouver last weekend, but alas all I could capture was this heartbreaking scene (all 6 seconds of it) with my little nephew Dylan as he was helping his mom wash the car. My sis told me to try out the video option on my camera, and as I hit play (my plan was to "interview" Dylan while he worked) this is what happened (this film is rated PG for some slight cussing and violence):




My sister has cat-like reflexes!! As bad luck would have it, he got his hand pinched in the car door handle the second I started recording--what are the odds?? It may appear that I was a dead-beat aunt, but I was actually looking at my camera and didn't realize he was in peril until I started cussing. Woops! (okay, I think I might be a little bit of a dead-beat aunt) Dylan was okay--he had a very quick recovery and kept on washing the car. He stayed away from the doorhandles though; those things can bite ya!


Post accident, feeling groovy

My Own Private Tennessee

Here's a couple pics from around the neighborhood. It's been so nice, but all the poopy weatherpeople are predicting cold from here on out...













Megs sent us some awesome Tennessee gear--Duane and Chewy were gracious enough to model the fall line for you. If you zoom into the picture below, you will see that Duane was so excited to wear his shirt that he didn't even stop to take of the "large" sticker. Hee hee hee

















At first, Chewy was very shy in front of the camera, but after a few takes she was quite the ham.

She wanted to capture the versatility of her new coat, so she had me take the following pics:













The jacket comes off for a pic-o-nic .....or you can reverse it for a fashionable nap!

The Blue Turf

I went to the Boise State/New Mexico State game on Sunday. It was very entertaining, but we won 58-0 so it wasn't exactly a thriller.


Desiree, me and Ashley--right before kickoff




We sat in the student section, but at the top to avoid the "crazies" :)

Speaking of crazy youngsters, here's a pic of them in action.

One Wedding and a Pizza Place

Duane and I went to a wedding this past weekend for my friend Tracy and her (now) hubby TJ. I took some great shots of the bride and her dad. Here's my most artistic shot (ie: I swear I did that on purpose). I think she might want to frame this:

Duane and I hung out up on the balcony, sipping beer and people watching--it was great! On the right is a picture of the bride making the rounds and saying hi to all the guests. The little girl in the picture (my friend's niece) is apparently mad at the bride for not having the right type of punch-- That'll teach her!!


















Here's me with my pals Ashley and Tracy! For some reason, I still feel the need to squat down and pretend to be 5'2" when my friends are shorter than me. I'm not sure why I do that, but they certainly made fun of me for it!



Also this past weekend, the pizza joint Lucky 13 opened up (it's right across the way from our house). Duane and I certainly had to check out the eats and the beer selection. It was mighty good! I think I had some sweet timing with the camera, don'tcha think?
