Kids

Sometimes I can't believe that I'm not still 20 and living a single life at college. But then I have a few reminders running around. My kids are growing up so fast!

Ian had a happy 4th birthday and Eliza is finally walking and talking. Hooray for them both!

What kind of camera do you like?

Recently Mike had an unfortunate run in with a large tree in California while hiking. As a result, our camera has died. We liked our camera, the HP Photosmart R607 but I have been really unhappy with the company. They don't sell parts to camera repairmen and when I contact the company, they just keep trying to sell me a new one. So I am dissapointed in HP and will not buy from them again because I don't feel that cameras are disposable property. They should be able to be fixed. So I was wondering if anybody had any good cameras to recommend. Maybe a Canon, Pentax, Nikon or something? I've been wanting to take some pictures of my new apron that I made for a new post but I can't!! So all you blog lurkers who are out there and not commenting (I know who you are...) Please comment and tell me what digital camera you like best, or what one not to buy. Thanks!

Not Fair

Here is where Mike stayed last night, the Crown Plaza Hotel in Ventura, CA. In his own room. King size bed. Ocean front views. Crazy, huh? And I stayed here in Pocatello, where my kids screamed all night. Luckily he will have two paid days off when he comes back to town, and then he can listen to them scream all night!

And here he is again...

Here is Mike on the cover of The Mountain Express, the local newspaper where he is fighting fires. He is getting so much press coverage this year! Way to go Mike!. He is second from the left. He should be home in about 10 more days... do you think I can survive my children that long? They were so crazy last night, stayed up untill 11pm and then Ian woke up at 7 am soooo grumpy. It's going to be a lonnnng day.
