Photo Story Friday!

PhotoStory Friday Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

It's Photo Story Friday... and I thought I would show you my view from carpool every day.

Well, not every day... the mountains don't have snow on them all the time...

Oh... You know what I mean!

Ya gotta love a snowcapped mountain and a palm tree in the same picture.

So Cal is the only place you can surf and snow ski in the same day!
That's our story... and we're stickin' to it! I live about 30 minutes from this one. That cloud looks ominous... doesn't it? I took this one the same day as the other... just at Will's Soccer game.

  2. I haven't been here for awhile...so many interesting things to see and read!

    First of all, I LOVE your new banner :-) So fun!!!

    Earthquake in So. Cal? How did I miss that? I have to call my parents and ask them about it. I got an email from them this morning and they didn't mention it.

    I remember how scary they could be though...glad you are all right!

    Great pics of your kids....enjoyed catching up!

    I will start following you so that I don't miss all the good stuff again :-)

  6. Those are amazing pictures! I've always loved that about California...you're on the beach one minute and then take a little drive and you're looking at snow-capped mountains. I miss the west coast.

  16. We went to Disneyland that day (the 18th) and everyone who saw pictures commented how cold it looked. Wasn't the snow on the mountains amazing?

  17. Great photos but I am loving your new header even more. The purple and green - well its so Italian hey? I love those colours together!! And great photos too - gosh you are clever, are you doing the headers yourself? You are really creative - like you didnt know this already....have a great Sunday! You would like Australia if you love Italy - well it reminded me of southern Italy except we dont have the old buildings...
