And Ryan/Emily pre-wedding pictures, too

We went bowling and then to an Italian restaurant with family and the wedding party the day before the wedding.  After dinner, a few of us went out for karaoke.  It was an awesome time.  Check out the pictures, here:  http://westfolk.smugmug.com/gallery/4085187

Let's see some Christmas pictures!

I have posted Christmas pictures to Jeff's smugmug site.  They are just a sampling of the fun that was Christmas morning and dinner with the family.  Pictures from Ryan's wedding to come soon!

Pics from the family get together

As I mentioned earlier, we met with the Perry's and Bennetts for some awesome Ham and Potatoes and complete yumminess!  And there were presents involved!  Any way, here are some pictures from the festivities.  

Tallinn Perry, Mirenne Perry, Quinn and Kallen

Brian Perry, Tammy Bennett holding James Bennett.  (Super cute!)

James checking out his new... box!  He didn't care about the toy. :)

In case you need to find us

We already did some gift exchanging with our friends, the Perrys and Bennetts.  Steve and Tammy Bennett gave us some awesome super-soft sheets for our bed (oooohhhh.... sooooffft...) and Brian and Juliet gave us this cool doormat.  Juliet special ordered it, and it actually shows the real coordinates for our house!!

Quinn took the above picture.  Here is Kallen's version:

Oh, what fun are we going to have with him as he gets older, eh?  ;)

Future Olympic Swimmers

Quinn and Kallen have been taking swimming lessons for the past few months.  They love it and have been getting much better!  Here are some awesome pictures of each of them during class practicing diving and jumping in to the pool!  Watch out Michael Phelps!  :)

Quinn diving like a pro:

Kallen setting up for a big cannonball:  Note how the instructor is hiding her face from the coming tsunami!  :)

These were taken Dec 12, 2007. 

Let's talk TV

Did anyone watch the Heroes season? It was pretty good.  I don't think it was good as last season, but it was still fun to watch!  I hate Sylar, though (credits to the actor!) and am bummed they brought his powers back.

How about Chuck?  What a fun show to watch.  The setup is totally lame, and each episode relies on a big leap of faith, but the characters and the fun/sexiness of each episode (it shares the director from the Charlies Angles movies) make it hard to miss.

We also watched Tin Man.  We liked the idea, and enjoy Sci Fi and all that, but didn't like Zooey Deschanel.  The actress that played Azkedelia was awesome, and I liked Alan Cumming, too, but in all I give it a ... meh.

Eva is watching a slew more TV (I usually play video games, duh) but these are the shows we watch together (and are waiting for Lost).

Hopefully pictures will return soon.

peace out

The Ladies love the Games

Here is a cool article from the Seattle P-I.  It is the industry that I am in, and it even mentions our site!

We were elfed!

Thanks to Jill (and our friend Gina) we found this cool site, brought to us by OfficeMax!  It lets you load your face on to dancing elves.  It is pretty funny!

Check it out!

Pictures coming!

Well, Eva got an early Christmas present.  She has been asking for a new digital camera for months, and our last one finally kicked the bucket.  It wouldn't hold a charge in a newly-recharged battery for more than a picture or two.  :(

So, we went to Costco and got this.  It is really cool!  Hopefully we will be more able (and willing) to whip out the camera for those awesome "cheese" moments.  Like this:

Stay safe and warm!
