Another fun year at dance camp.

This year my little niece, Alissa, joined us.

B*Dazzled will be marching in the Christmas Morning Parade for ABC. We will also have our own showcase in Disneyland on the Plaza Garden Stage.

Here is the latest picture of Kylie. Can you believe she is turning 6 years old and going into the 1st grade.

Here are my entries for this weeks camera club contest. Wish me luck!

The sunflowers were going all along the freeway on our trip to Mt. Shasta so of course I just had to stop and take a few pictures.

The "Fisherman" picture was taken at McCloud Falls.

Here are two more images I entered in my camera club. The "Old Barn" picture was taken while Adam and I were out visiting the wineries in Livermore and it won 1st place. The picture of James came in 2nd.

This is our families very own "Blind Side" story. The newest member of our family Brandon. Welcome to the family Brandon!
Of course this means you have to sing the "12 Days of Christmas" on Christmas Eve. Back row from left to right: Jason, Brandon, P.J.

This is for you Jody, the best sister ever!

We all had a great time at Cookie Day this year. Thanks Stef for hosting it again.

This picture was taken for a gift for Nana and Papa.

Here are some of the Christmas pictures we took of the little cousins. They are really getting big.

On our recent trip to Lake Tahoe, for my birthday, Frank and I were walking along the river looking for some new pictures for me to take for my camera club when we spotted this huge bear paw print. It measured between 12 and 14 inches. When we returned home we heard on the news one of the largest black bears every spotted was seen right where we took this picture. I think I should have Photoshopped a bear hiding in the bushes behind us.

The camera club I belong to have by-weekly contests. I entered these two images in the creative catagory and both won first place. Boy was I excited.

The holiday season is here again. What a great time to take new pictures. Here is the Halloween picture I did for Kylie. Doesn't she look just like Alice?

I also make a storybook for her using other images from our shoot. I will have to learn how

to download the moviemaker program so I can share it with all of you.

This sealion just stole my heart. How could I resist taking his picture.
I am entering this picture at my camera club meeting this week.

The aquarium was great but these pictures were taken in Monterey Bay near the Coast Guard Station. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing these jellyfish in the wild.

The exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium was wonderful. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

Here are a few pictures from Grandma's 82nd Birthday.

It only took me three years but I have finally made the time to redo our master bathroom. I am going for a spa feel so I made these new pictures. What do you think?

I finally entered a picture in the Livermore Valley Camera Club and won 2nd place for my covered wagon picture. I was so nervous but can't wait to enter again.

We all had so much fun helping Alissa with her school project.

Nana taught Alissa how to make a pillow.

Jenny, Papa, Mama, Noah and Aunti Dance were
all there for support.

Next week she will give a presentation on "How To Make A Pillow" in her class.

Great job Alissa!

I couldn't by more proud of my dancers. B*Dazzled was given the maximum number of dances allowed in the Disneyland Dance the Magic Showcase and Trolley was one of the top picks.

Congratulations Dancers!!!
