Vinyl Record Album

Ok, so I have been pre-occupied with a number of different things the last two weeks or so.  Between the business, the kids playing sports, etc., life is on >>>fast forward>>>>>!!
Last month I was able to take on day for myself (I know, I know...how selfish of me!).   I went to watch a concert at the SnoCasino (a cool venue by the way!). 
The Robert Cray Band was playing in support of the "This Time" CD released in July.  As usual I was in a row near the front but this time there was some dude with a HUGE HEAD sitting right in front of me and Treena (my reluctant escort for the evening...like every other time I see the band).  I had to lean around the side just to see center stage!
Also this time I purchased something from the souvineer shop at the concert, something I have not done in about 10 years...a vinyl record!  Can you believe it, I didn't know they even made these any more!  The sucky thing is that I have a record player but when I went to use it, I found it to be not working.  Probably a victim of children in the house!
Any way, here are a  few photos I took late that night:

It is signed by the man himself!  **Side note:  No, I didn't get to have him sign it... I would have been a blubbering idiot!!  (yes, more then I already am!)

Last of January

So, as the days slip by (and my blog posts don't get done!) I feel myself getting older by the minute!  We have had a pretty busy week-plus.

As many of you know, Megan is playing fastpitch with an organization in Auburn called the "Acers".  Well, one of the player's dad is the pitching coach for the University of WA husky fastpitch softball team.   He invited a few of the players to attend practice his UW team last weekend and here are a few photos:

The UW players and coaches really did a GREAT job of welcoming in the girls, showing them skills and being hosts.  Any chance you get to attend a camp at the UW for fastpitch, it is a MUST!

Oh, and did I mention they are not only the coolest group of people...they are the defending NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

The end of the month is also bringing in a few team/individual photo sessions.  Here is a great photo of the goofy girls that Sumner:

Like a lot of girls sports, these took longer then they needed to take, but they were all very nice girls and that makes it all OK.

It is also action photo time.  As we get towards the end of the winter sports season, the high school teams hire me to take action photos for various reasons.  So, these days I am watching/shooting a lot of basketball

Side note: Sumner HS band is not only the best sounding, but also the most entertaining of all school bands I see/hear when I go to all of the local high schools!!

I was also at gymnastics meets this week and it was "Senior Night":

And, we also had the CAP basketball photos.  26 teams all on one day, spaced 10 minutes apart, grades 1-6.  It is fast-paced craziness, but it is fun...and helps pay the bills :-)

We also received our waiting list sign up sheet for the Seattle Wedding Show.  We have been on the waiting list for years and it looks like we may finally make the show next Jan!!  Here is a look at our last booth at the Bride's Club Wedding Expo in Seattle Sept.'08.  That dude sitting in the booth is Jeff Cowart, the videographer friend from Coastline Productions.

Whew.  There are other things that have been going on, but this is probably enough of an update....if anyone is even reading!!!
