Photographys R Us

Ok, so the title isn't grammatically correct, but since we've moved up to the Roseville area, both of our children have shown an increase interest in Photography. So much that we've actually set aside some time this summer to teach them some of the basics.

I'm excited, perhaps more because I can finally get some pictures of myself on this blog! A few days ago, you saw Andrew with a full stack of camera's taking pictures at The Fountains at Roseville, and yesterday, Alexa took the reigns to capture some landscape images. See below for my favorite of hers.

Perhaps in the coming weeks/months you'll see much more from them. Wouldn't that be sweet?

I captured this image of Alexa as she was about to grab some grass, reminded me so much of the Movie Gladiator, where the General had some dreams.

Walking the trails

From the moment I bit into the Sushi, my mind went from savoring the delicious taste of this delicacy to trying to figure out how I am going to lose the pounds I was about to take on. It wasn't just Sushi of course, no Japanese buffet (especially Mizu) that I know of only has one type of serving, there was of course many others to choose from and I wasn't about to pass on some of my favorites.

So with that commitment to satisfying my stomach, I suggested to my family that we take a walk to shed some of what we gained in less than 45 minutes. Thank goodness everyone felt the same and all agreed to head off to find some trails.

Luckily Roseville has many trails, and we found one close to our area. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

This is my favorite of them all.

The Fountains at Roseville

FINALLY, finally, Fe Lyn had a day off so we can spend some time exploring our new area. In Roseville, we came across The Fountains, a unique shopping area, sort of like Soho in NY, sort of high end with lots of well.. fountains.

After spending some time there, walking around and taking some photos, Fe Lyn and I had our first date in Roseville by going to see a movie, Angels and Demons by Ron Howard. Although the book was better (isn't it always?), it was better than the DaVinci Code with more suspense, intrigue and drama. Overall, it was better than average movie.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from The Fountains.

Roseville, CA

First of all, it's been great having our entire family back together again, such a blessing! We've been in Roseville CA for about a week now and I'm amazed how quickly we have gotten use to living in our new area. We love the area first of all (I guess that's why we chose it) as it is very convenient to get to/from anywhere you need to go. Where it be shopping, restaurants, movie theatre's etc.. they are all pretty close by.

I think we are going to enjoy our time here and hope to make the best of it with our family and friends. While we miss San Diego, we are looking towards the future, hello ROSEVILLE!

Here's a picture of Alexa I took outside our new dig.

Last day of School

The Children had their last day of school yesterday. It was a mix of emotions, it was obvious the other children were saddened by Alexa and Andrew's departure from the School. But they took it like troops, strong and hopeful.

Goodbye San Diego

The time has come to say goodbye (at least for now) to San Diego. We will be leaving soon, moving to Sacramento within this month. Today, we decided to take some pictures around our almost vacant house so we can remember how much we enjoyed living here.

To all of our friends and family in San Diego, thank you for always supporting us, for being our friends/family and we hope to see you again soon someday. Until then, God Bless you and your families.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
