Easter + Grandchildren = PURE DELIGHT
Baby Noah was happy to just sit on mommy's lap and chew on bunny ears...

big brother, Chase, wanted to smell the CHOCOLATE in his Easter basket...

He found it...FINALLY!

That's My World Tuesday / Some Creepy - Some Sweet!

 Click on photos to enlarge!
Lock your doors, everyone!

These creepy creatures spent the night next-door to my home!

My little grandson was a puppy dog for Halloween.
This is the "sweet" part...

The glow of the fire in the fire-pit fascinated him for short time.
 Candy was on his little mind!

He was a bit nervous being at the door by himself at this house.

It's more fun with a little friend!

This man was very generous!
Thank-you!

 Baby Noah is almost 3 months now.
We are SO in love with our two grandsons!

Noah's costume was very simple and comfortable...
"I want my Mummy!"

We had to watch out for these creepy guys, though!
Uh Oh...back to the creepy part...

Yikes!
This guy really needs a dentist!

This is NOT the sweet part!

The ingredients for sweet dreams AND night-mares all in one post!
 Now, it's onward to the Holiday Season!

That's My World Tuesday, Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot, Ruby Tuesday, Blue Monday and Midweek Blues / 4th of July - Boom Booms!

I would call this a gathering of  mortars. 
My husband and I got a very up close and personal backstage tour of one of our local fireworks shows.
These are only a few of the many mortars wired to explode into a sensational fireworks display of color and light.

These have been gathered, wired and set aside for the finale!
And, what a finale it was!

This is Mary (my neighbor) who makes it all happen in Claremont, California.
She is a licensed pyro-technician in the states of California and Hawaii.
Her two sons also do this "side" work, or hobby, as well.
One was very busy this weekend doing the Rose Bowl Show in Pasadena, California and the other in New York Harbor (the Macy's Show), New York.
Mary, you and your sons ROCK!

This is one smiley face that I was able to capture.
I was disappointed with my inability to capture the rest of the show.
My photos were very disappointing.
I think the problem was that we were so close to the action and I was
 shooting straight UP.
I have gotten some nice fireworks photographs in the past but I was also farther away.
But, being up close was still a huge treat even if it wasn't good for my photography.

This little girl kept herself amused while waiting for the show to start!

ABC Wednesday / "S" and "T"

Click on photos to enlarge!
Jerry and I spent the late afternoon walking on the beach and checking out the tide-pools at Crystal Cove, Newport Coast, California.
We weren't alone as many people came to the beach to spend family time together for Memorial Day.
I realized I had not posted an "S" for last week.


And, look what I found...an S for seaweed!
How great is that?!

Of course the beach is full of sand and shells!

We came upon a scene that was very sentimental for this Memorial Day.
Someone propped up a flag and left it on this rock for all to remember what this day is about.

This family spent some time near the rock after viewing the U.S. flag.

 It wasn't long before a fisherman  joined the flag on the rock.

...and then, later in the day, the most sentimental scene of all.
Memorial Day June 31, 2010.

The theme is T this week.
...and, S from last week.

Ruby Tuesday / The Venetian Decorates for Chinese New Year!

 
  
 
Las Vegas, Nevada really celebrated the Chinese New Year.
The decorations in each hotel were fabulous.
This photo was taken at the Venetian,
and...this is just one small part!
The decorations were everywhere!
So many who celebrate the holiday were in Las Vegas this weekend to enjoy the festivities!
