Random things in the life of Heather & Sean (scroll down for many more posts :)

Gavin's volcano cake for his 4yr. birthday.

Sean and I came home one night and all of
the sudden, we could see the stars in the sky
from inside our house. It was kinda cool and
kinda eerie. Also, very cold. I'm still cold. Brrr!

This is a pelvic bone that I found on my stairs.
I hoping it's not human. On an unrelated note,
I have awesome green carpet.

Girl party! Bella is the Bad-A one with the
crossbow.

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse...
Now we can see the stars and our entire backyard
from the comfort of our home. P.S. It's
waaaaaaay colder than it looks.

My baby is 4.

Vermont Part 2 (Yeah, it's backwards, I'm a dork)

Here we are at probably my most favorite restaurant,
the Skinny Pancake. They make THE BEST
crepes. I made every excuse I could to eat
here as often as possible. The crepes you see
here are the "Early Riser" and two "Love Makers"-
yeah, baby!

This is the "turtle boy" fountain- and me re-enacting
the turtle boy fountain. Here my thoughts were
turned toward Jack- this one is for you, Jack.

The next few pictures were taken at a cemetary famous
for their unique grave markers. There is a big granite
quarry close by and many of the master stone masons
and their families are buried here.

Random car picture.

Ditto.

The End.
P.S. Sean should be working here for a couple more years.
We have a free place to stay...How about an adult family
trip in the future??

Vermont

Hi y'all! Sorry about subjecting you to our personal travel
log, but since I don't have my own personal blog...
here it goes (insert evil laugh here). The above pic
is my first covered bridge, for which Vermont is known for.
We are also standing in the lovely "engagement picture"
pose (which you will see we were particulary fond of).
Also, it rained almost the entire time, but we still had
a lot of fun.

The above is in Sharon, the birthplace of Joseph Smith Jr.
Behind us is the memorial oblisk at the visitor's center. The
oblisk stands 38 1/2 ft. (?) tall - each foot representing
a year in Joseph's life. Notice: Rain & engagement pose.

The above was taken at Vermont's state capitol building.
We took this the second day we were there, which
happened to be the only sunny day, and of course,
the one day I decided to wear a turtle neck. Slight
variation of "the pose".

.

Day hike behind the state capitol. I think we
decided to settle on this one for the official
announcement.

Bought at a roadside fruit stand:Famous Vermont Cabbot
cheddar cheese and the best Honey Crisp apple.
YUM-O!!!

Another covered bridge and (suprise!) a
departure from the engement pose.

This is "Ted" the Toad. He was cold so I warmed
him up (you can't see, but he has a very self-satified
look on his face). My thoughts were turned toward
Dalton at this time-this one is for you, Dalton!
This was taken on the sugar farm we visited. Sean works
with a lady who owns many acres of maples
from which she and her hubby make wonderful maple syrup
as a hobby.

I didn't mean to include this picture-woops!

Labor Day 2011- Part 1

I'm wondering if I should post this after reading about how much the Woodburys missed it.  We missed you too!  

First, some of the gaming. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures of the gamers.  I'm kind of new to the photographer game and I keep forgetting that I should be taking pictures!  

Start 'em young.

Next-paper bag costume design!  Those Woodies would have excelled at this.  

And the results...

Jensen as a dragon.

Bella as a tiger and Jack as a pirate.  Arrr matey!

Cambry the butterfly.  I could not catch a picture of her cute little face!

Lucy as a fisherwoman.  Just FYI, she puked about 3 minutes after this picture was taken.  Poor girl.  

Where Lucy hung out during trick-or-treating, poor girl.  She asked me to go get candy for her IN HER COSTUME.  I sincerely hope no one caught pictures.

Porter as R2D2.

This picture was taken to convince Wall-E to wear his hat.  It worked.  

I thought the Lego was rather ingenious.

Reagan as Catwoman (the mask is rather smashing) and Cord as Spiderman.

Paigin', the little devil. 

Garrett working construction and Leah counting her sheep.

I just had to get a picture of Tigger's tail.

Robotic Eden.

Another cute little dragon.  I honestly have no idea whose child this is.

Dalton suddenly became interested when he found out there was candy involved.  Unfortunately, the only costume option left was "paper bag".  He took it and ran with it.  

Wall-E, the finished product.  Next time I'll make sure to have yellow and orange paints!

Even Cajun got in on the fun.  

Jack Sparrow (aka Andrew) charming the ladies.

Dave "passing out candy".  There was a large bag of candy in the cooler afterward.  I don't think he should be trusted to handle the candy again.

I forgot to get a picture of Nola's costume (don't forget, I was cleaning up puke), so I snapped some of  the pajama cowgirl at home.  She did this all on her own.  Next time we should do awards-she would have won best fringe and best use of blue tape!

She turned to see her friend and I got my favorite shot!

I thought her 'sheriff badge' was rather brilliant.  Mark's girls were clipping the tops off of spoons and flattening them for necklaces, so Nola used one of the discarded tops as her badge.  That's my girl.  ;)

More to come...
