Visiting Grandma

Here we are at the hospital about to go visit
grandma. We brought grandpa with us
and bought coffees, teas, juice, and donutes from

Robin's Donuts. We also brought grandma some

purdy tin-foil balloons!!

Hoar-frost

Here's even more pictures of the hoar-frost!!!

Pretty Frost

We got lots of hoarfrost this morning. I took lots

of pictures of it, and it's a good thing too because

it was mostly all gona by noon. It's sooo pretty!!

Lunar Eclipse

I didn't take these photos but this is what me and
dad saw last night while delivering flers:


Heres the first part of the Lunar Eclipse



Later, the moon turned red! Scary!?!?

Miranda's Restaurant!!!

Okay...well when i was in kindergarten or grade 1 (not sure) i decided
I wanted to have my own resteraunt. I called it Miranda's Resteraunt and
charged 10 cents per item. Mom found my old menu today! I scanned
it onto the computer so you could see it. Awww...




Here's the front of my Menu!!


And here is the inside

If you can't read my wonderful spelling, The first one one the left is Fish Kiss.
Going down we get Sugar Cereal, Yogurt Salad, Candy Cane Dip, Dry fruit Mixit,
Warm mushy bananas, Paz candies, a kiss (the hershey ones),
a cookie, bread and butter, or gum treasure (a piece of gum buried in
cereal-it was supposed to be like digging for treasure). Haha-wasn't
I a cute kid ?? :-)

Gettin' Into the Game

Here's me playing Playstation-as you can see, i get
very into the game at times...

Not quite as enthusiastic...

On the other hand, dad doesn't get quite as into the
game as I do! Haha!!

Here we have me driving. I'm not usually all that
great, but i do pretty good in this video, and i
place in 1st out of 8 cars. At the end, you can
hear me and dad celebrate over winning a new
car / level. You see, we had to place 1st in 6 races,
and it was hard!!

Pro Driving Skills

Last night me and dad were playing PlayStaion2.
He's alot better than me, but he takes a while to warm
up ;). Here we see some of hod GOOD driving-he
wouldn't let me put the bad stuff on :(

Blowing Time!!

Here we see "Brenda" getting her 2nd workout of the year!

Well, the other day we got SOO much snow!!!

We probably got 8-9 inches, and drifts up to 1-1/2 feet!!

Obviously dad had to clean the drive way off, so

here he is using Brenda...thats the name of his snowblower

at home. The one at the office is named Cheryl.

Even More Stik-Eez

Here we have even more Stik-Eez! WooHoo!

Stik-Eez!!!

We ordered these from a funfraiser for
band. They're called Stik-Eez.
They are things ou stick on you windows,
mirrors etc. They use static cling to
stick. You see, every colour on each
bird is a seperate piece and you put them
all together. They are soo fun!!

A Closer View

Heres a bit of a closer view of the display

on my mirror.

Stik-Eez

Here's all of my birdies close up :)

Trumpet Bath #1

okayy...well, here we have another normal

and close up picture. I am cleaning out the

bell of my trumpet here-the final touch of

the cleaning process!

It really is amazing how you can dissect a trumpet!

You can remove 4-6 slides, and the valves and

mouthpiece. Then the valves dissect and theres a few

other various parts to it too! Wow! It took me about

an hor to clean-with dad's help!!

Trumpet Bath #2

This picture is just a general picture of me

cleaning my trumpet. I didn't get a picture of this,

but at one point dad cleaned out the main air passage

of my horn, and the brush came out totally coated in

dark, green gunk! Ewww! i haven't cleaned my trumpet

for like a year!! Yikes!!

Trumpet Bath #3

Once again...here we have a normal picture,

and a close up. Here i am cleaning out my tuning

slide. Notice all the nifty contraptions i get to use

to clena my horn... SOS pads, some weird brushes

on wires, bristly things, and lots more!

Trumpet Bath #4

Here I am cleaning out one of my various slides.

There's a normal picture, then a close up of what i'm

doing.

Here is a video of the piano tuner in action. Notice

that the whole top of the piano is almost gone...I didn't

know it was possible to dissect pianos the much!

Piano Tuner

Here's the guy who came to tune our piano.

I've been begging dad to get it done for over a year

now, because it hasn't been tuned so long, that some

of the keys dont even work anymore!! Oh well, they work now!

Dad's new Fitness Program

Well, dad has decided that his New Years

Resolution is to lose a pound a month. If he doesn't,

I get $10 for each month he doesn't. If he does it at the end

of the year, I have to buy him a Playstation game. Anyways,

Here he is excersizing on his little trampoline before the

Superbowl.

Okay, well the begining of this videos aint good-its all black,

but eventually it gets better and you can sort of see us get off

the ski lift

Boarding lift...hahaha

This video is too funny! About 19 seconds into the video,

watch very closely! I'm waving at the camera, and I have the loop on

my ski pole around my arm. Dad pushes down the safety bar on

the lift so we dont fall out, and the bar pushes the pole right off my

arm! If you have a fast reaction and pause it really fast, you can get a funny

picture of my facial expression after it happened!! AHAHA!!!!!

Us on Ski Lift

Well, here we are on the ski lift!!
