At Michael's birthday party in August we played a game where we had to read a nursery rhyme with an accient. Here are the videos that I took while we did it...they are HILARIOUS so take the time to watch!

Grandma trying to be latina!!

Granpa imitating and "old person"

I honestly can't remember what Uncle Joe was doing...maybe asian?

I busted out the opera on my turn

After living in Idaho, Tiana really had the "hick" accient down!!

Josh was hilarious!!!! Totally 1990's surfer. Love it!

My Dad was a little too femi for comfort...very funny though.

Mrs. Nash's third grade clsas


Here is my wonderful third grade students. Our school has a theme, "We're going to College!" Here we are wearing out Portland Community College tshirts. I love it as this is the community college I started out at. It has been a high energy year. So many challenges, learning experiences, and joys. With the nations economic crisis, and Portland's ever growing unemployment and state budget woes the possibility of my not being employed next year is VERY real. I am trying to keep the faith, as I know the Lord has blessed my with the abilities and skills needed to be a great teacher.

Property damage in Sandy Oregon


Okay- I promised that I would get a picture up for you all to see some of the damage from December 2008's storm. This picture shows the worst damage (it is located on the furthest part of the loop drive-way.) The deepest part is probably 5 feet deep! Crazy! We probably won't repair it until summer. Since it has been said it did this over 7 years ago, our goal is to fix how storm water would travel down the hill...hopefully helping it reach the culvert, instead of going across our road.

Nathan


This is our newest grandchild....three day old Nathan. He is already a calm, happy baby. Beautiful as well. How did I get to have 3 grandchildren already? I'm too young! Grandma Debbie

Sweet Alivia


This is sweet Alivia. She's our second grandchild, first grandaughther. She has a healthy head of hair and is absolutely beautiful. She loved by all. Our only regret is that she lives too far away.

Hobbes March 2009



This is our sweet Hobbes. He provides a lot of entertainment when he's around. He loves "Nina" (Christina), and "Poppa" (Grandpa Gary), Jake (the dog) and playing with the Duplos that Grandma got him to play with

Arches National Park



ARCHES NATIONAL PARK!
This past weekend my roommate, Maureen, her friend Lindsey from Vermont, and our friend Joel went to Arches in Southern Utah! It was such a fun trip, and the arches were so beautiful! My jaw dropped with every new sight. I learned something this weekend I didn't know before, Utah really is very beautiful!



Here we are on our hike to Delicate Arch. Joel, Maureen, Lindsay and I.
Here's Delicate Arch. It was so beautiful. It was a perfect day, perfect weather, and great company. After we hiked up to the arch (about a 1.5 mile hike up) we sat and enjoyed the view. Because it's still early in the year there weren't very many people there and we got to enjoy it in near solitude.

An artsy picture of Joel and Maureen up on the rock.




When we got close to the arch there was a window you could climb up and look through and see your first sight of the arch. It was so beautiful.

I know you can't see me very well, but I am standing up on that middle rock. It was kindof a small space that I was standing on so I was like, "Maureen hurry up and take it so I can get down!"






Here's me, with the beauty of Arches in the background. I look kindof like a bug.





Maureen and I enjoying the beauty. She's been a great roommate. I love this girl!
Well, that's it. I'm hoping that since I am taking time out of my busy schedule that maybe somebody else will take this as a suggestion to post something from their fam.?! If not, hope you enjoyed the pics!
