Odds and Ends

I just uploaded my pictures from my big camera and I found so many things that I forgot about and wanted to share. They are old and going back as far as November but they are still fun to have around. These two pictures were taken the day Tessa got married. You can see Tyler in his natural habitat. You will recognize him by his fake smile on his face and the refusal to look away from the computer screen. If you come across someone looking like that just take a deep breath and realize they are gone and may not respond to you at all. On the positive side. It is also the time you can take advantage of by asking questions you want "Yes" answers too. They may not know what they are answering yes too but, you are getting the positive answer that you need. For example "Nate may I buy some new clothes for myself?" Nate may I order pizza for dinner?" But be cautious you could mistakenly fall into a trap by not thinking before you ask a question. For example, "Nate do I look fat in this dress?" Always, I repeat always think before you ask.Natalie cooperated nicely for pictures but, Nichole refused any. Doesn't she look beautiful?And Ella she only cooperated when she wanted to. She smiled nicely for the camera now but it took about 15 shots before I got her to do it. (I may of threatened a little too)This is the shot I got prior to the other one. Doesn't she look like she is smelling something really bad?Along the drive to Anchorage I would randomly make Nate putt over the car so I could get some beautiful pictures of the scenery.And it was beautiful.I took this picture after a snow storm but the snow was so compacted in you can't tell really how deep it is. The kids for the most part are walking on top of the snow.Ella was kind enough to make a snow angel for me. She didn't get out of the hotel we were staying in very much so she was anxious to do something fun. She did meet a little girl that was staying next door but, the little girl got really mad at Ella and wouldn't play with her any more when Ella wouldn't trade her game boy for a cheap plastic ring. It was so funny.This picture is of the lunar eclipse. My camera doesn't zoom in very well. But the thing I like most about this picture is all of the air around it. That is because we opened up our garage door and the hot air was meeting with the cold air. But it looks rather cool.This is the only picture I got of Nichole in the whole bunch that I did do. I wanted to get a picture of the kids sitting by the fireplace. With all of our Christmas decorations.
