Those would be mine:) I added a few (11)more so this is a lil long but
here's part of our past year..

1 Cassidy is one showing off her new lost teeth. We read a great book about
a sister and brother loosing teeth a few weeks ago. The older sister was
loosing teeth and the lil brother was sad he didn't so he pretended he lost a
tooth (he put corn under his pillow). The tooth fairy came and welcomed them to
the place where teeth go. In the end a machine rejected the lil brothers fake
tooth and the tooth fairy explained that some day he too would loose his
teeth when they were ready. It was a tiny book but the story was interesting to
read.

The second is my favorite shot of Dustin in his 3D glasses(Adventures Shark
Boy and Lava Girl movie we had seen).

3 Is Cameron hamming it up in an outfit I got that was too small. I took the
photo bc I knew it would be the first and last time he wore it.

4 & 5 is Cassidy and Nicholas in the whelping box with puppies from spring
of 05. We lost the mama of those puppies two month later. She had a tumor we
discovered when we redid her OFA's. Special photo.. 5 is one of her pups we
sold to friends.

6 is my Durango (rango) after the convention. The lettering is bad:). I
applied that before we left to go to Peabody then it rained during the convention
so I reapplied sometime after midnight not quite seeing straight... happily
graffiti-ing my own vehicle :)

7 is Dustin on the way back from Pinebush, NY for a business trip we took
together. Talking about communication one on one this was bliss. There is no
way we could have talked that in depth with a car load of toddlers on a one way
5+ hr road trip. The rest areas were a blast and it was so nice not to ride
alone.

8 On 95 crossing in NH some guy on a motor cycle was doing a long wheel-ly
that seemed like a good 3/4 of a mile at 70 MPH! Dustin took a few of the
shots. We never good a real good one but it was a sight to see. The other photo
missing is of our trip to Canada.

9 Is Dustin in his riding gear. Gosh he looks much older there.

10 Cameron this May giving a little too much love to a puppy:)

11 Cassidy at the Peabody in the "craft"/ BUSY room:)

12 The kids and I (me breathing deeply wishing I could poof out of there.)
at the gym in Maine. Not a good trip for any of us either time we went. I
don't know why but none of us felt right. So hard to balance(well generally I do
fine but it rather sucked and rock climbing is not for us right now). We'd
rather come and go so it's a tuff balance to explain to those field trip
pushers... A friend called Nicholas and Cameron whinny and bratty I knew I had
enough then. Thank you to unschooling I was able to regroup (focus) and know it
was ok to get us out of there. Nothing food and space couldn't solve.. I
added this photo bc it's sorta recent and i'm in it.

13,14 & 15 are of a trip to Utah.
A photo I took of a mountain behind the flats just before Nevada. My sister
and I took the (3 hours from UT)kids to the casino for an all you can eat.
We tried to play a few slots on the way out however it turns out with children
that's illegal, whod-a thunk it?
Funny story on this.. On the way back we had been looking for salt but
everything was unusually wet. We stopped at one of the Morton Salt piles on the
side of the road and filled a ziplock bag. A few days later I left for home and
had my bags flagged for inspection. I was mortified when I realized they
spotted the bag of salt. All I could think is people were going to think.. me,
standing there with 3 children was smuggling SALT! lol Every one stopped and
looked at the ongoing inspection, ugh! Funny now but not then.. I kept looking
at people going, it's salt! It's only salt!
15( is my first tumble weed sighting. I tried to ship this one how but
everyone thought i was nuts...

16 the not so Man on the mountain in NH.
17 & 18 are of Dustin and I's business trip to Canada in August. I loved
this trip! Well, I got a speeding ticket just as I reentered the US that was
just wrong it was my birthday too). Dustin and I went shopping, rocked out on
the ride and brought home some neat stuff. We live about 4 hrs from Canada.

19, 20 & 21 are of Cassidy, Nicholas and Cameron at the computer, watching
the Incredibles (which happens to also be on right now) and Nicholas with the
spring 06 puppies.
