Next Adventures

We are leaving soon on our driving vacation to Washington State in June! It is coming up fast!

Things we want to do this summer: Get to the Flat Tops, rent bikes and ride the path along the Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon and hike to Conundrum Hot Springs. Krissy may come up at the end of July and we will go on the 18 mile round trip hike together to the Hot Springs. We'll see. I am going to look through my "Colorado's Best Wildflower Hikes" book to see what our options are around here.

I love the Lady bug on the Iris. They look very much like Dutch Iriises. I used to have some, I wonder what happened to them? My Irises have yet to bloom!!

Hi Jennifer,

I think your pictures are BEAUTIFUL. I LOOOOVEEE the yellow bird. I cannot believe how many photo books you have collected in such a short time.  Thats a good looken camera you have there!!!!! 

Love,
Krissy

4/26/2009 11:15:39 PM - 002013554552
OH Jenn, what a great gift!! I know you will put it to good use!! I love all the photos of the trip!!
4/5/2009 3:58:56 PM - 002001319666

Linda, I make up a lot of my own recipes, though, I am still a fan of my bookcase full of cookbooks. I find recipes in magazines at work and also from booklets at the grocery store. I rarely use the Internet to find a recipe.

I use a Canon Powershot S3 IS. It is 6.0 mega pixels. The IS stands for Image Stabilizer. I did a lot of research before buying it 3 years ago. I like to be able to take pictures on the go. I don't have the patience for dragging around lenses you have to change out or for carrying a tripod. By the time you change the lense the photo opportunity is usually gone. I do use a tripod for group photos. I have only done that a couple times. This camera is perfect for me. Digital cameras are like computers they become outdated quickly. They have a 12 mega pixels version of this camera now.

Linda, maybe I will see you at church this morning. Today is the big day....we are in the new building. If I don't see you today, we will see you at Fiesta's on Friday night before the Good Friday service.

4/4/2009 1:57:27 PM - 002019359658
You are quite an inspiration. I don't get here very often. Gary and I just got back from a vacation and finished up report cards. Do you have a recipe site where you are getting all the yummy looking food? The pictures make me hungry.

What kind of camera do you use? Your pictures are beautiful.

I love the photoes of your Blue Birds!!!!..

I think they are great.

Love you both bunches, Mom

2/26/2009 7:54:35 AM - 002013554552
Congratulations on your church getting such a nice place to hold services!! And the Ash Wednesday story is priceless!! Hope the rest of the week goes better for you!! Love you bunches, Mom

  To Christopher!!!

 

I am very proud of you Chris! These kinds of things will help you when the economy takes a dive. I pray the Holy One will bless all your hands find to do.

 

It is suppose to rain here today. The old stove at the congregation kitchen finally died. It was that great avocado color so popular ages ago now. A new one is to be delivered today!! Yea!!! I am soooooooo happy!!

Have a great week,

Love you bunches,

Mom

 I am glad you had a good time at the comedy show. I always wondered if it would be much different from watching it on TV.

Hi, I am going to try my luck at making bread tomorrow or on Wednesday... I have not yet decided. I want to take some for the dinner with my mother and then for our dinner here at home on Christmas.. I am going to use your recipe, I will do my best to follow it to a T and let you know how it turns out... Hope you had a great time in Denver. Thinking of you,

Krissy

Mother, Dear,

Your "Thank You" card turned out very nice..If I do say so myself.Yes I am glad you used my photo and gave me credit for it on the back of the card. So thoughtful of you.

11/24/2008 10:41:13 PM - 002013554552

Dearesr Jenn,

 

Thank you for all the very nice pictures you take. I used one this week on the front of a Thank You note for the Drama Teacher of a local Christian High School. She invited us to a benefit performance of Fiddler On The Roof. Here is a picture of the front of the card.

This teacher has the ability to really pull the best from each of the kids. She is a real blessing!!

Thanks again for your great photos!!!

Tracy and Pat,

Try uploading Mozilla or got to Google Earth to find current Java Script. I had the same problem with Java Script with our old computer. I loaded Mozilla and didn't have any more problems. My Dad helped me with it. So, Dad if you have any other advice please add it to my Blog.

10/28/2008 1:36:45 AM - 002008733824
Yes, It is very COLD out side, I think I have been in denial about winter... I have to say I am looooosing.....  :( I am cooooold all the time. My mother said she just turned her heater on this weekend.. ha mine has been on for at least a month and a half.... :) I do not want to go get a coat or GOOD boots... For the first year I am not ready or excited about this winter.... HmMM Of course I do get a little giddy inside when I think about Christmas lights and cocoa....I am not really liking the frost in the morning and sweating in the afternoon...hahah...Its Colorado...WE are trying to find a time to come up and visit, only time seems to be running away and no sight of slowing down....  December is the only opening thus far. ..Miss you both very much, Krissy
10/12/2008 1:49:16 AM - 002001319666

Hi, Sweetie Pie!  I'm so glad to hear from you! I got the rainbow card you made me in the mail today. Your Mom also included some photos. I hope to see you in person soon.

Have a happy day!

I am amazed every time I am on your site. Your photos are breathtaking. Although I don't know when you find time to put everything in.. I seem to be doing it in a hurry and in my 3 seconds of spare time.... BLAAHHHH.... Well I love the photos.. Another beautiful year for your photo book.....I think some of your photos are better than the ones we saw at the farmers market.. Theirs were bigger, but I think yours are cleaner and crisp.  hope to see you soon.

Krissy

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, Look how Pritty you LOOK!!!!!! LOve the hair cut, Funny I  was just thinking of cutting mine 3 days ago and  passed. Close to the same hair cut. Hahaa.. You can really see Gods touch in the  sun rise photo's. Love ya and miss you both soooo much.

Krissy

8/27/2008 3:36:59 AM - 002001319666

Krissy,

You are so funny. You know? I had the pictures that didn't make the cut for the book on here and then decided to replace them with the Ouray photos. Of course, you knew! TurningEyes You're a good friend! Thanks for all your nice comments.

8/24/2008 10:42:19 PM - 002008733824

Hi Sunshine,

I like the others always new that you needed your own website.. In fact two years ago, we thought it should be a World Class Book. After seeing your web page I am begining to think it should be a News Paper....

 

The Times With Jennifer Alvey!Wink  I love the site and OF course all the pictures. They are Perfect as usual... Although I know you and how you take pictures... SO if you have a few hundred showable ones, how many did'nt make the cut?

The organization of the site is fantastic, better than some of the perfessional ones I visit....You should be proud of your self, I am!!! The kids love the site to... IT IS FAMILY ORIENTATED>. haha..

 

I have to say though, I miss the e-mails!!!!.

Miss you too,

Love,

 Krissy, Taylor, Sean

 

8/24/2008 12:43:29 PM - 002013554552

I always thought you should have a blog with all your great photos and your ability to give such great descriptions of what you are doing.

 

I am trying to access the photos, but it won't let me see the Alamosa album for some reason.

 

I will keep trying.

 

Love you bunches,

Mom

This is the body.
Jen, you are doing a fantastic job. The pictures are beautiful. Where those stones are packed in that area between the big rock walls is where I hid the money I stold from the Wells Fargo Bank in 1806.
 
I love that little lake with the two water falls.
 
Keep up the good work.
 
Love,
Grandpa

  Jennifer,
 I wanna let you know, that we'll have pizza for lunch at the bank tomorrow.
So you don't have to worry, about bringing your own lunch.
I hope you have a great day off!!!!
By the way we had a really slow day.
See you tomorrow.
Vesna
p.s.don't forget it's a jeans day

Hey well let me explain a little ......

 

The picture of Sean is actually the day he lost his first TOOTH... YAAHHHH

The Paintings are as follows..... Scratch or learning my brushes

Light house. My very first painting, finnished last week.  The tree is actually a replica painting of a MONET .... hmmmm I can see I am not a natural... haha

 

The sunset is warped and I am not sure why. I also could not get the right colors, I think I needed a filter....PHotography in process.....

 

Oh and all the kids are from Seans B day Party......  That was a lot of fun. We had a small gathering at the park. Sean got a bike, Cars, radio, airplains, money,  and dinosaurs.

It was a lot of fun.
