"Fresh and Tasty"

My little bro's off on another adventure... backpacking in Patagonia:

He's clearly following in my footsteps. (I can't believe it's been six years since I was down there!!)

The Chronicles of the Southbound Bus

For anyone still out there in blog-land, i just wanted to give a shout-out to by brother's blog:

http://busadventure.blogspot.com/

He and a few friends are headed south, to Mexico and Central America, in an old yellow school bus that they've converted into the ultimate homemade "surf RV." At the moment, they're stuck at the border, trying to get the bus into Mexico as legally as possible. Anyway, keeping checking their blog over the next few months, there are bound to be some crazy adventures along the way...

Just a taste...

...of the many December/January photos to come.... :)

Mimi's 90th birthday!

Last month, Eva-Lynn, Kelly, and I flew back to California to celebrate my grandma Mimi's 90th birthday with her. It was awesome! We made her wear the crown all day. :)

It was actually a joint birthday party for a bunch of people... Tom's birthday was that day, Yvonne had just had one, and Vicki's was in a few weeks.

She looks a bit dazzled....

The card played "Macho Man"....

Yvonne was turning (mumble mumble) years young!

Vicki's card is of a teddy bear strapped to a bottle rocket... it says "I'm moving to another planet." :)

And of course, no visit is complete without games...

I think Eva-Lynn had just rolled a Yahtzee here.

Happy Birthday, Mimi!!!

(I love her face here....)

Johnson Wedding Reception

And, last but not least... some fun shots from the reception:

Johnson Wedding, continued...

Here are some of my favorite group/couple shots from the day....

Johnson Wedding Photos!!!

I'm nearing the end of the sorting/editing/fancify-ing process for the pictures Dad and I took at Eva-Lynn's brother's wedding. I've definitely learned a lot about processing 4,000 photos... things that I like doing, and things that I'll do differently next time (assuming there is a next time....)

Anyway, here are the first set... some of my favorites from what I call the "prepping" phase of the wedding day. As always, you can also enjoy these shots, and more, as a great full-screen slideshow of the Picasa album...

Carb-loading is important for any wedding.
