My favorite of the trio of shots.

And another shot....

Cute new shirt and you can see the cute pictures on the wall behind me in the bathroom.

Mt. Hood from the 205 bridge is also an exquisite site. It looks so big in person, and when I downloaded this file from my camera, I thought it had shrunk it. LOL!

There used to be a sign right here on the highway that said "Mt. Hood in the distance." So everyone knows its a beautiful view. Good reason to bring your camera to work, so you can catch THIS on your way there. Goodness, I love where I live!

Would you look at this? Costco had super-dooper smoothie makers on sale when we went. Its all silver and shiney and makes yummy things! Better than my $15 blender. ROCK!

One more palm tree shot to be excited about!

I *love* the pictures of little Eric and Craig. They were adorable little boys. This picture I took a picture of is proof!!!

I love the layout of E's family kitchen. Its got a breakfast bar on one end and the diningroom on the other end, and it is nice and roomy for multiple cooks in the kitchen - and since E's mom loves entertaining, its good that it has lots of room!

E's bedroom has been converted into a guest bedroom. We are the main guests who stay in there. But the funny thing is that there is a wide variety of pictures of Eric and pictures of the two of us all over the dresser in that room! I sat on the bed to take a picture, and left the flash on because i liked the glow I got. I just might submit this to the mirror project because I like how it turned out! :)

Self portrait sitting on the couch at E's family's house.

Dahlia and Kristine watch Craig open his presents. Dahlia and Craig have been dating for several years now, and are really cute together. She's a sweetheart, and we have nice talks when we are together.

Craig opens his presents after graduation. He looks so different with short hair!

Self portrait of Nita and Kristine - she's just such a cutie!

The Beeson family, in the sunshine at Craig's graduation from LaSierra University. from left to right: Eric, Kristine, Lorna, Craig, and Larry

And then Eric got ahold of the camera and caught me sitting waiting for family pictures in my pretty dress. It was really sunny out there, so most of the pics have me with my glasses on.

As Eric hung around Graduation, I took his picture :)

Eric's newest adopted cousin Juanita (Nita for short) decided she liked me right off the bat because I played play-do with her. She sat on my lap for a lot of graduation, and so when she got bored, I showed her a picture of herself on my computer. She's adorable!

Craig walks down the aisle after graduation

As we wait for grad to be over, Craig waves at us.

I love palm trees the best out of anything outside in CA. They are so pretty, and so unlike anything we have up here. Beautiful!

Couples at game night - Brian and Emilia have been dating for a while (I think), and Greg and Meg just got engaged after dating for YEARS! Both couples are super cute, and I had a lot of fun talking to the girls while the boys played.

Game night 3: Quoc, Hans, and a side view of Dave. They are playing some space ship game with cards where they kill each others ships based on what values they have. Way beyond me!

Game night 2: around the table from left is Quoc, Hans (the Everquest guy), Dave, and Brian (the MC from our wedding)

A trip to California isn't a trip unless it includes a game night! E invites all his best friends, and his mom always makes a huge meal, and they play games for much of the night. I usually go to bed part way through! So when I went to bed, E took the camera and took some pictures.

As we looked through the program the first night we were in CA, E's mom and dad were sitting there and said "this is what we thought of when we were naming the boys - how their names would look in italics in a graduation program." So as I sat at grad, I snapped a picture to capture that thought. Looks nice, doesn't it?

Toesies, toesies, purple painted toesies.... Now I have purple toes for my trip, and Christine gets a picture of toes :) Everybodys happy!

Look how beautiful and shiny it is!! The cd-rw even has a silver front! And my camera matches when its ontop too :) I love it. I'm so lucky :)

Happy Kristine waits her computer wich is being set up. Note the orangey hair that hasn't been fixed yet!

My stunning new Logitech keyboard waits hook up!

Look how shiny it is! I got to pick the case out myself. I haven't figured out yet what I should do to the floppy drive because its ugly and doesn't match. . . my real CDRW will match, though, because its got a silver face :)

The brilliantly smart computer builder Eric!!! He's so rad!! ;)

Side view - tilt your head!

Look, it all fit inside the case!

Step one to building a computer - read the instuctions. E says "I don't need no silly instructions" so I read until he got stuck and needed them ;)

This is little Megan. She's my sisters doll that sits in her car. My little Kristine sits on my desk. So I promised I'd take a picture and put it up of little Megan so little Kristine wouldn't be so lonely. :)
