A few more photos

This is a prom picture that isn't my own. This was Pope's prom 2005...can you guess who the third person from the right is?


This is the X-mas tree



This is the Chimney Springs Lake
I have some more but I don't have a scanner...

I have a selfish picture log, but here goes....

1) A photo of any birthday party, with the cake in the picture (I didn't really have birthday parties, but this is the cake we had for my 18th. I even have a picture of the candles, too.)














3) A photo of anyone's ex boyfriend (Does your own count?)



















4) A photo taken in the house with no one in the picture. (Yeah, I don't know why I have a picture of this... >_> I clearly don't even delete useless pictures. The sad part is that I have about 10 other photos I could've put here as well....)














5) A photo of a sibling that the sibling doesn't know you have. (This photo is AWFUL but it is of Emma and Shauna - Emma is on the right. I think she'll remember the night, but probably doesn't know I actually have photos of it.)














7) A photo of a car that we don't have anymore --- could be anyone's (This is the inside of the Bonneville a long time ago. Actually, this was taken at a high school football game, but since there is no way you could tell that, I won't put it under that. I think you wanted an actual picture of something happening.)














12) A photo taken at a holiday other than Christmas (Spring Break is a holiday, no? Hahaha! This is in Savannah, though, on Spring Break.)













13) A photo of food other than Birthday Cake (Gelato in Roma!)














15) A photo of someone in their work uniform or outfit. (I look real happy to be alive in this photo.)














16), 17), 18), 19) A vacation photo from each of the four Disney parks showing a member of the family. (Argh, the member of the family got me here!)














20) A photo taken in another state. (This was taken in Gatlinburg, TN, on the same mountain I was carted off of by ski patrol.... >_<)














22) A photo taken from a high vantage point, such as a mountain or tall building. (Villa DeEstes in Rome. It was a very tall building. I also have some from the Smoky mountains but not as good as this one.)














24) A very silly photo. (Of Sera, in the dorm.)



















I have some others, like at high school events and stuff, but I'd have to scan them. =/

Rules:

* Nothing embarrassing. This includes really really awful pictures of anyone. We will just remove any that DaddyMike and I both deem too unflattering.
* Photo has to be taken by you or someone you know; no snitching pictures from the 'net.
* Post a caption identifying which item your picture satisfies. A picture can only be assigned to one item --- ie, a picture taken at a birthday party at a relatives house can only count for 1 or 11, but not both.
* If someone else already posted an item, but you have one you wanted to post, please post it anyway.

Happy Hunting!!

Ummm, geeeee, how will I ever decide?

On the one hand we have this:



And on the other we have, well, we have THIS:



Hooo boy.

Happenings this weekend....

Well, with everyone back in school etc, you might think it would be a quiet weekend.... doesn't look to be shaping up that way, so far!

First off, of course, it is a long weekend, with Labor Day on Monday. Hard to find a good picture to represent Labor Day. Here's one:



Or maybe this one?



(Which one do you like Cheyenne?)

Also, Kacie is supposed to be in town briefly, we hope to see her on Saturday. I'm going to try to get her data off of her old hard drive. Which reminds me, if your laptop ever dies suddenly and you need the data from it, I now have a hard drive enclosure for a laptop hard drive and I may be able to help.

George and Veronica are both working tonight. Veronica might have a couple of friends over for a sleepover; George is staying at Josh's tonight.

Cheyenne will also be home this weekend. She's having a birthday party at her Mom's tomorrow but we hope to see her on Sunday.

Twila got an invitation to join the Honor Society due to her high GPA. You may not know this but Twi has been on the Dean's list almost every semester! Congrats Twi; stop by and see us this weekend!

Emma is back at her co-op job this semester. I know Ethan has been hitting the books lately, and, as far as I know, she still has no internet service at her apartment! I guess I'll have to catch up with her the old fashioned way... I'll txt her!

Mike is on his way home from Manhattan right this minute. He got to see cousin Diane and lots of his friends over the week; but I'm sure he'll still be glad to get home! Meanwhile he's flying out again on Monday :-(

We are supposed to have dinner with Uncle Sid & Aunt Julia tomorrow night and then play some Euchre.... Anyone want to learn how? I'll be happy to teach you!

Also, be sure to check out the Poll, as I'm updating it again...

I would like to see everyone at some point this weekend; so those of you without specific plans to come over, expect to hear from me soon...

Finally --- stay tuned, I'm dreaming up a contest to get everyone back interested in the family blog again, after I neglected it for such a long time!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

If I do say so myself!

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!

I've been searching for a replacement for my cracked flour and sugar canisters for literally YEARS. I didn't know the name of the pattern and I thought all hope was lost. Internet searches on "apple motif canister" turned up nothing.

Then tonight, we ran out of flour. So I took the thing and washed it (what does this say about my cleaning habits) and noticed there on the bottom was the maker and the name of the pattern: Applejack by Ingleman Design. Doh! Why didn't I think of that before?? Anyway, within 10 minutes I found a replacement online for the flour cannister and a lid for the sugar, both of which have been cracked since before 9/11.

Needless to say it was quite a bit more expensive than what I originally paid for the whole set... but for some reason I got attached to these and I've never been able to find any I like better.

Just goes to show, in the words of Commander Peter Quincy Taggart: "No! Never give up, never surrender. " At least not when it comes to replacement china.

I told Twi I would upload these...

Tina!

Here's the new MX5 Miata. Mom and I are having a blast cruising around the neighborhood with the top down. Mom decided to name her "Tina" because she says "She's teeny!"



This "empty nest" thing does have its advantages.

so....

is nothing going on in this family right now? seriously? i mean there are 8 of us!

i guess i can vent to you about my disney life.
nothing really special going on right now. practically all my good friends went home in the course of the last month. sad days!
oh another note, i got a new roomie. her names lindsay and and shes from london, which i think is so cool. she seems to be really nice, which is cool.
today i might be going to magic kingdom tonight to watch wishes. yay!
yesterday i went to the number 2 (or is it 3) best water park in the country, blizzard beach! it was very cool. i was only there for 3 hours, though, because i had stupid work! grrr
well thats my exciting life right now.

now its your turn to update! i know things have happened to you people!

love you
cheyenne

Veronica's Prom Pictures

The other girl in the pictures is her friend Danielle. As hard as it is to believe, they didn't have dates so they went together.
