{Wordless Wednesday} Vacation Edition

Check this out...a scheduled blog post; & it's more than the normal sneak peek, but a look at the little mini-vacation that I got to take with my sweet hubby to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and a bit of an early birthday to me.  In fact this is almost the exact thing we did, 5 years ago, to celebrate our wedding and my birthday.

We headed to Las Vegas. City of Sin, Dry Heat & a gazillion people walking around 1/2 dressed like ants all.day.long.

We however, dislike the heat enough that we tried to avoid day time on the strip (& most night times too). We ventured out to Hoover Dam though, it was huge. One thing I didn't do a lot of while we were there...take pictures. I didn't want to lug around the camera & a purse & water, so most of the time, I ditched the camera & purse and just enjoyed having a few moments with my hubby.
 
Here's a quick glimpse of the few photos I did take though. It was Richie's first time flying, so we got a couple shots of familiar places; one of which was Medicine Lake (we won't be fishing there yet, it's still frozen).

Our motel & rental car, that we got a free upgrade on, so instead of a Kia Rio, we were able to cruise in a Nissan Cube.

 The Great West Truck Show

 Seriously, show trucks are GORGEOUS, both inside & out. There's lots & lots of chrome & shiny. We saw the largest limo ever, an entire trailer sized limo, it was amazing. Decked out interiors complete with cowhide & leather, seriously ahhhh!! A hay trailer, complete with huge glitter flakes. Now, it's not really my thing, but I know how happy it makes the ol' man, seeing as he used to show, way back in the day and has a few trophys to show for it.

Not so Wordy Wednesday

Saturday we spent about 4 hours watching & waiting to watch air tankers land at our local airport for a fire that broke out. Here are some images I took during that time.

(with a little vintage-ish edit to it)

The ever serious boy.

My little Queen of Dirt (so hard to get natural smiles from her to shine through--she's such a poser anytime the camera is visible)

The little big girl--she's growing up so fast, more kid like & less toddlerish these days.


The Big One

and the not so biggish one.

Enjoy the day!

Almost missed it {life}

Almost missed the Wednesday post that is, & today it's minimal word Wednesday. And after being gone most of the afternoon, it puts me a little behind on that list I posted yesterday, so I'm going to bed early by an hour so I can get a good portion of it done tomorrow *hopefully all of it*.

Another 2 of my fair entries for this year...can't believe it's already time for this.

Have a great Thursday!

Almost Wordless {Wednesday}

So today I've been working on refreshing the website, which I finally got accomplished after 3 hours. I freshened up the photographs & added a few more lines of text on some of the pages. I still need to work on the portfolio gallery at some point and add a few more things, but that can wait until I figure out a sitter situation for the kids, because it takes entirely too much concentration to website & kid corral.

I'm hoping to get a little 'fresh' spin on the blog done by tonight. Wish me luck!

These are 2 more of the entries I have for the upcoming fair.

Enjoy the rest of today!
