Fall Photo Shoot

It was a beautiful Fall day today and off we went to the Arboretum for a little photo shoot. The leaves lent a wonderful backdrop.


Ruby was ready to go almost immediately. She jumped up and posed right away. We all got a big kick out of it.

Honor Chorus Concert 2010

Michael had the opportunity this year to participate in the Washoe County honor Chorus. It is a Chorus for surrounding schools and all students must try out. They all worked with professional teachers and for the last few days of "fine tuning" they had music professionals fly in all over the country. The students were separated into three groups, 6th graders, middle school (7th and 8th) and High School. This performance was done at the "Pioneer Center" and oh my goodness was it wonderful! These students were absolutely amazing!

Here is the director of fine arts and the superintendent

Apple Hill

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Nevada day. A day a lot of us get off to celebrate Nevada and head off to California where Apple Hill is MUCH less crowded and we are actually able to enjoy the outing.

The day was gorgeous! We were so lucky to get such a wonderful day being sandwiched between two rainy days.


One of the little farms had a cute pond where you can fish as well as feed the fish.


They took it right from you!





These pumpkins were 800 pounds!


A little late in the season we weren't able to pick them off the trees. Oh well, we had SO many to choose from! YUMMY!
