Being on the D-list is cool, sick, and well wicked!!

This is our blog and life ADVENTURE (thus the name!)  My name is Cindy, I am wife to Speed Racer (aka Tony), Mommy to our beautiful baby Bailey.  I am a mostly stay at home mom who loves cloth diapering, baby wearing (see below), photography, crafts, cooking, architecture, while trying to be more environmentally friendly.  Most of the time you will find me avoiding what I need to do, while playing around with my little one and our crazy dog, Roxy.  This is my life.

I am trying to journey through this adventure while living in the NOW. Join me in the fun.... Here is my family, my life and all that goes along our journey of becoming a family.... (I could go on and on) But you can read all about us here in this blog, that is what it is for, and we know you are here for pictures anyway, so here they are: 

This is Us, Our little Family (minus our crazy dog)

I was tagged by Dawna at Hiccups in Time! This was actually my first time being tagged. I think what I'm supposed to do is go to the 8th folder in my photo folder, then the 8th photo, and explain the picture (Oh no, this is going to be an oldie!!)

Okay, so I have MANY photos (and did not take Digital till later, film people film!!)...This one is from April 2001.  We were in Mammoth with my parents.  We were not married yet, but had been dating for about 4 years... We were just getting ready to hit the slopes skiing for the day!  It was a great day.  At this time I had known Tony for 7 years :)  of course for the first 3 years we pretty much disliked each other, go figure, a story for another day!
