I got lucky I guess

I was at my mother and fathers yesterday, when a Flicker flew in to their window. So always looking for a good photo I ran outside to snap a few shots. My sister who was also in to see the folks was taking pictures from inside the house and so I turn my camera on her. This turned out to be a very interesting photo. Some times it just turns out better than one would think. The reflections are coming of the wood shed.

We are DUCK fans!

Here's mom talking to Kris (my brothers wife) and Delaney my niece while waiting for the DUCKS game to start.
My sister and her daughter were in town this weekend, as you can see Renee's eyes are closed and Carla is making a nice face. That's my family always eager to help a guy out with his blog.....lol

And they called it puppy love

When your a little under the weather, there's nothing better than a little love
3 months old and already know what buttons to push

It made moms day, this is the newest of my nephews children. She has a name but silly me forgot what it was, I know it starts with an "M" so that's what we will call her today.

Birds come to visit

This guy was a real party pooper! he chased all the guys & gals below away. He just came swooping in and I just got this fleating picture of him as he took off (Redtailed hawk)
This is a cedar waxwing (female)


The bigger birds are Robins, the one with a little color in the middle is a female evening grosbeak
The others are cidar waxwings And I think they are all female also.

This is a male evening grosbeak. I had more pictures but silly me didn't think to check the settings on my camera and they didn't turn out so good.

47 years ago today (nope not my b-day)

A storm hits Oregon with 120 mph winds, and you can see what happened in this photo.
That my mother, my sister and the little guy in there is me. My oldest memory is of playing in the street in a pile of limbs.

Okay, So I'm not smart, but I'm not dumb either

So I wanted to sign up on "twitter" I have seen that tgt has had good success with it and I thought I could give the little updates on my blog from my phone since I haven't had anything big to blog about lately. So I signed up and I'm not sure how it works I thought I could do up dates by phone but they don't tell you how to use the damn thing when you sign up? I can give an update by going on line as you can see in the upper right hand side it says "nothing much" And that's what I think of twitter so far "Nothing much". If you are a twitter or if your tgt please help!

On another note:
We all remember my ipod troubles RIGHT?well they seem to be gone for good now, I have had the same one for a year or so now. So my poor daughter who only has this little stick thing is now going to be the proud owner of my back up music player, the Sony "walkman". Its pink and I formatted it and then I converted 682 songs to a high quality mp3 format then loaded 268 of them in to it for her and will be sending it her way soon.

Just you watch about the time it gets to her my ipod will crash...... But I have the extended warranty. (see I told you I'm not dumb!)

The love's of my life (at least they think so)

This is Ella, she thinks that I'm the best baby sitter in the world.
This is Steely, He knows I'm the best baby sitter in the world!

This is what happens when you think your the greatest anything in the world. You find out you can't walk down stairs..........
