It seems like it has been a long time since I last blogged, yet it was just 2 weeks ago...so, since then we have been so so busy. If you read other blogs you will see more too, we went camping with the rest of the family. We hit Crater Lake and Diamond Lake - had a great time, can't wait until next year.

We got home from camping and I worked Monday thru Wednesday and then left for a work conference on Thursday and was gone until Sunday afternoon. Yesterday (Sunday) we went grocery shopping, etc.
I had a great time at my conference....the conference was good...we were in LA...at the Universal Studios Hilton. The staff was awesome...they took care of our every need. The first night we went up to eat dinner at the Citiwalk...and there was a premeir (red carpet night) for "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry"...we also saw Jessica Beal, Ray Ramano, Adam Sandler, and some other famous people that I don't know their names....(pictures to come soon)..The next 2 nights we went into Universal Studios and ate and did the stuff you do there....did the Studio Tour and saw where they film movies, etc...it was pretty cool to see that stuff. We ended our LA visit with the last ride of the night being Jurasic Park - it was AWESOME!!!! it was dark outside and right before you go down to hit the bottom of the water, it goes pitch black...and at night the dinosoars, etc look so real!
Todd and Justin did very well, with the help of Grammy on Thursday and Friday....they survived without me. On Saturday, Todd and Justin went to visit Grandma Nellie and Aunt Miranda, and Cousin Nellie....I hear they had a great time...wish I had been there to see the kids together. Little Nellie is now 6 1/2 months old with 2 teeth!
We are the proud owners of a new computer (well used - but new to us!). We got our new camera...those who were asking what we got - it is a Canon Powershot S5...and we LOVE it....but, when we brought it home to load onto our computer, out old computer wasn't enough for it to handle...luckly we were already in line to get one from Aunt Dana...and it works great. I am still working on trying to figure out how to get it hooked up via DSL, wish it was just plug it in and go, but you have to configure stuff, and that takes time (and with the help of a 5 1/2 month old, it doesn't happen too quickly!)....so, for now I got my pics on the laptop, made a cd, and then put them on the old computer to then upload to the web for you all to view....hope you enjoy...more to come soon!
