Gabriel Family photo

O.k. Here it is. I am sorry this took so long. I downloaded three different photo editing software files in attempts to transfer Aaron and Tara into the photo with everybody else. I succeeded in putting them in there, but it's an obvious correction when you print the picture out. It's not so bad on the computer, but I think it's much more obvious if you try to print it out to frame it. The biggest problem was that we took the photos way too late in the evening and the low lighting caused everyone's eyes to dialate just enough to cause "white eyes". That took a few hours of individual eyeball editing. It may just be the perfectionist in me, but I still don't think the corrections look natural enough. So, while cool camaras and cool software are fun, they can't fix everything! Aaron and Tara's photos were done earlier in the evening with better lighting so the resolution looks a lot better.

Sorry everyone, I tried. This just means that we need to plan another reunion when Isaac is back and the Lomeli's can attend, too! Then we can all be in the picture! (and we'll hire a professional to take the photos)

If you want a copy, just rt. click and copy this to your own photo file. Enjoy!

Sammi's First Day of Kindergarten!

I'm up in ID visiting Angela and we're experimenting with video stuff. Here's a video of Sammi coming off of the bus after her very first day of kindergarten! They grow up so fast!

A TON OF PICTURES

The Perfect Beach

We finally found a nicer beach today...one where we wouldn't need to worry about sharks! We went with another family in our ward and had a great time. We are settled in to our condo, and almost done decorating! Here are some photo from the NY Trip, and other recent ones I thought I would share. Love, Jen & Family

Weesa Love Goosa!

I just wanted to report that I've made Goosa TWICE this month, and it's really not as difficult as I always thought it to be. I made it first for my sister-in-law Kristl who just had a baby. The day before my wedding, we had a bunch of it for dinner, so Kristl was so excited to be able to have it again! I found some nice fat zucchini at the store the other day, which doesn't happen too often, so I made some again last night. Kylen and I just love it so much. Thanks Grandma for passing down the food traditions so well, and thanks to my mother for learning it all so well and teaching me.
