Ready or Not

Last weekend I traveled to Bakersfield with my quartet, Ready or Not, to compete at the district level barbershop competition. Bascially what this means is that 100 quartets competed at the division level, and only about 20 were invited to compete at district. We sang on the first night, and only 10 were invited (qualified) to sing the second night. In the end, we took 6th place (out of roughly 100) so we were very excited about that. If you'd like to see us in action, watch these videos of the contest. The first one is the 2nd night of the contest--I think we sounded a lot better the second night so I'm posting it first, just in case you only want to watch one of them.

For more info on our quartet, we have a website: www.ReadyOrNotQuartet.com

September Pics Are Up

At the end of each month I post whatever pictures I took that month onto my flickr account. This way I can keep track of what I've uploaded and what I haven't. Mostly, as you know, all the pictures are of my kids. SO CUTE! I think I uploaded about 60 pictures so if you'd like to browse through them, see my photostream by clicking here.

Otherwise, enjoy some of my favorites here below:

Drive Through Yosemite.... From Home!

Most of you know that Google Maps has the awesome "street view" option. This morning I had the idea of seeing if street views were available in Yosemite. Yea, they were! I enjoyed driving around with my mouse. Makes me feel like I'm there. You should try it too.

Here are a couple of screen shots I was able to capture from my drive:

That's Half Dome on the right:
