More Matthew Birthday Photos!

Matthew is 32! Happy Birthday!

Matthew birthday was Nov. 1st, and he is now 32 years of age. He is a wiser man for it. We had a small birthday gathering, and some cupcakes. Fun all around. Wish everyone could have celebrated with us, especially the Long Beach crew :)

Happy Halloween

Sorry for not posting for some time... But Happy Halloween! Matthew and I just carved pumpkins and stayed at home to pass out candy. Not as many kids as last year, but we still had a great time. Hope everyone did as well. I was a Fortune Teller this year, and the photo is with Mary my math teacher buddy. She is tiger with no head :)

Guess Who?

Matthew, Jeff and I went to the Swiss fair in Midway this Sat, and found these to play with... Can you see me smiling?

Matthew's Family Visit

Just about a week ago, Matthew's family came from California to drop his youngest brother off to attend UVU here. Jeff is living at Ryan and Kelly's house. It was really great to get together and see everyone. We had fun looking at the horses, but I just wish I had some carrots to give them.

Thank you Mickey!

Thank you Mickey for giving Matthew the cool LB hat. He wore it to the Owls (Orem, Utah) game. The game was my first baseball game here in Utah, and I really enjoyed the experience. We even saw a bunch of our neighbors at the game... thanks Bobbie and Mike for letting us sit with you. It was a beautiful night and what a view of the mountains. Oh, the Owls kick some backside.

Thank you Andrew

Andrew, Matthew's brother, created his version of pistols at dawn painting. Matthew really enjoyed the painting at first sight, and thought it was really cool that there is even a Boston Terrier in the painting. When Andrew finished the painting, he sent it with his parents to give to Matthew. It will be a great addition to the art collection.

Fist Day Back with the OJHS Kids

Here I am... Do I look the part of an art teacher? Will at least I can ward off the evil eye!
School has been great, and I have a wonderful group of creative students this year.

Spanish Fork Fair

Hello All,

Here are some photos of the Spanish Fork Fair. Matthew and I went with Ryan, Kelly and the girls, plus Matthew's Uncle Ray. It was a fun day, filled with the county fair flavor. You know, kids, animals, people selling stuff at booths that no one needs, and the baked goods, plus some local artwork. The tractor pull was interesting... boy, we are a long ways from our Long Beach days...

OJHS

School is here again... so I will be out of the loop for a few days.
Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Final Goodbye So Cal

Well, the trip to California was filled with the friends and family that I love and I had a real good time seeing everyone. For everyone I missed, I am sorry and I love you too. I am currently in the San Diego airport with a two hour delay, which is a perfect time to update our blog. I wish Matthew could have gone with me, but he had fun at home with his 10 page paper for his summer school crit. lit. english class. Boy, I am happy not to be in his shoes. Thanks again for all of you that put me up and I will miss you all. Love, c.

Mom and Me
Ivan, Me and Frida

Okay, I am a freak again... (ref. bathroom tile photo) I saw Batman in Balboa Park! I was a great time with Andy walking around the park. I went to MOPA and many others... We had a great time.

Congrads Julie and Chad

It was great to see you Julie... Good luck in the adventure to come. You look wonderful for six months!

LA section

Well, it was great seeing all of my friends in LA/ Burbank area. One thing I do miss from moving to Utah is the fun food and places to meet. So, I had a great time going around town and seeing people. Allwyn, Kat and John, thanks for letting me stay with you. John, thanks for the info on the computer... Kat, good luck with the website, ( everyone check it out- Great jewelry pieces on ETSY.com, seller named chainlink) Carmel that book artwork is looking great, Allwyn, I will miss you, and good luck on the book. Well, that was a run on sentence...

CSULB visit

I know I am a freak... but I just love the color of the bathroom tile... The bathroom is just behind where Carlos and I are standing. I had a great time visiting the art department with the youth art camp and meeting with Carlos. I miss the good old CSULB days... sometimes. Carlos even created a blog while I was there.

Bellflower Visit

I got the chance to meet up with some of my fave Bellflower friends... It was great seeing fellow art teachers and my star photo student! Sorry for anyone I missed at Bellflower, I will try to come in the school year to see you all.

We all know that traveling around Southern California means traffic, even on the coast line. At least there was something interesting to look at, not just the bumper in front of me.

Sunny San Diego

Hello All,

I wanted to up-load some photos... but... soon. San Diego is great as always. Sunny and not to warm. I have been spending some time with the family, and doing some shopping... I got a new hat.

See you in sunny SD

Hello all,

I just wanted to give an up-date on my trip. I will be leaving SLC on the 30th of July to go to San Diego to see my family. Then driving to Long Beach for a few days to see more family and do thesis stuff at CSULB around the 4th and 5th of August. After that, I will be in LALA land for a few days at Alwyn's casa. Then the final leg will be back into San Diego for the weekend, and I leave for SLC on the 10th. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Love,
Carrie
