My Print Project

Here is the latest Printmaking project that I FINALLY finished!

This was such a crazy and exhausting project, I pretty much lived in the printshop for weeks to get this project done.

So here is the full view of the fish. Now this is in a hallway entering into the Fine Arts Building. As you can tell, it stretches from floor to ceiling, so I'm guessing it's like 8 or 9 feet high and close to 20 feet long. This thing is intense!


And then here are some close up shots of some of the parts






And then here are a couple of pictures even closer up of a couple of the images.






And then here is a shot of more of a side view so that it shows down the hall. Kinda gives it a perspective of just how big this thing actually is

The Rest of Vegas

On the last night that Mike and I were in Vegas, we went out for a drive down the strip. He put down the convertable top and I got to see the strip in style :)

I was trying to snap tons of pictures, but that's really hard with actually driving so a bunch of them came out pretty blurry, but I did get some really good ones


Even McDonalds was done up Vegas Style!!







The next morning before Mike and I left, the Strazzo fam came over and we all got to hang out some more. Jackson was having tons of fun in the backyard kicking the rocks around. Since Brody is such a weird dog, he was having fun trying to catch the rocks Jackson was kicking at him. J LOVED this! :)




And of course he's swinging around his new Thomas toy that Uncle Mike got him :) :)

Thunderbird Museum

So we got to spend a few hours at the Thunderbird Museum! It was such a blast. Cassidy had found this cute little flight suit for James that we got to wear around. He was a very cute little pilot :)

Mike felt like a kid in a candy store. He LOVES airplanes and being on base getting to watch the planes take off and land was heaven for him. Just look at his cute, goofy grin


They had the Thunderbirds all out on the runway getting ready because they had a show they needed to fly off to.




And since we were out on the Flight Line, there were many other types of planes taking off. Mike LOVED seeing all those, so we got tons of cool pictures of them too. This first picture is of an F-22


Then this is an F-15 landing



And now for something completely different....

We got back and had bought these cute little penguins. One for James and one for Nolan, but we couldn't wait and gave James his already (don't be jealous Nolan)

Fun Times in Vegas

Well Mike, Brody and I are down here in Vegas enjoying the gorgeous weather and fun times with Cassidy and her fam. So we've taken like ten thousand pictures already, and better start putting them up here for all you guys to see!!

To start with, here is the skyline of the city as we were driving in to town. (The smogginess didn't look TOO bad at this point)


And then of course we put James into a cute photo shoot! This little "hat" is one of his little toys that just fit his on his head so perfectly!!


We also took a fabulous walk to the park nearby Cassidy's place. It was the most amazing park I have ever seen! There were several ponds with ducks and turtles and Canadian Geese. There is also a waterfall that was a perfect place for some pictures :)


The ponds also had bunches and bunches of these little turtles. So of course, we took tons more pictures




One of the things that was sooooooo wonderful was how Brody is around James. James was poking and prodding and pulling, but Brody just layed there.






Next was the St. Patrick's Day party!! I had never had Corned Beef and Cabbage, but it was soooooo delicious! I was very very happy cuz it was an amazing dinner :)

After dinner we had to try on these little St. Patrick's Day hats. Of course I put Brody in the hat, which was adorable!!


Isa was NOT at all liking this idea of putting this headband on her head! But with a couple pieces of corned beef we were able to convince her to hold it on her head long enough to snap a few photos.



We got to go to the best dog park I have ever been to. Brody did really really well, which made me happy that he was able to socialize with so many other dogs pretty well. The only problem arose when he decided to take another dog's ball. He always thinks he can just take things from other dogs and this dog sure wasn't going to let him!
Luckily, Brody found lots of other dogs that he wasn't annoying to play with :) There was this greyhound there who LOVED to run just as much as Brody so they were just tearing through the park chasing eachother.



So after the busy and fun days we have had so far (We also spent time at the Thunderbird Museum, but this post is getting LONG! So those will be in my next post) But Mike and James and fun male bonding time cuddling on the couch
