My mom and dad

Smooch!!  Okay you two, I need to get some more.  LOL In all of these you are laughing hysterically.  I’m just putting one here for now, but I’ll get the others to you ASAP! 

and Grandpa and Daphne

 

 

Monday, monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Back to the grind.  Jevin had last week off of school for presidents’ week and it was fun not to have to rush around for school! LOL He went back today so Daph and I had some time to just chill.  You know, all the normal stuff….jump on the bed, paint our toes, and play monster.  LOL 

Daphne (aka the monster):   

She loves when you paint her nails.  

She kept saying “See?  See mama? My pretties.” 

and one of us playing jump on the bed…..yeah, it’s hard to click and stay in focus while jumping.  Oh and pretend to not see the pile of clothes on the counter in the bathroom.  That’s my “nothing will fit and I am so annoyed” pile.  HA!

 

 Happy Monday everyone!   

Chillin’ with the fam

We went up to Oak Glen again today.  Needed some more apples so we got an eight pound bag (made apple crisp for dessert tonight and still have a ton left over! LOL)  As soon as we got there we got some nice rain.  Lovely.  (That’s sarcasm…I really am not a fan of falling droplets onto my camera! LOL) The kids picked out some candy and we got some more apple butter.  We put that on our crepes or pancakes for breakfast (or Trader Joes organic raspberry all fruit spread…..that stuff is SOOO yummy and you cant beat $2.29!)  Anyhow….the only pic I got on the actual mountain (is that a mountain?  I’m guessing so, there was snow up there!) was a driving one.  A picture of my favorite weather (ha!) After we stocked up on apples we headed back down….and NO RAIN!  So of course I had to hit the traintracks! My favorite!  Papa and Daph: Laughy Daphy:

  

more of the tickle monster: 

 

and this is the “okay, I’m done now” face.  LOL

3 of my favorite people:

one broke free!  LOL RUN, Daphne, RUN!

and the Jev-ster…..showing his blue candy tongue:

and a b/w of Jevin:

and that was pretty much our Saturday! Have a good weekend everyone!

New hair

Sort of…I’m not all that daring at the salon but I got 2 colors this time and about 3-4 inches cut off.  Thanks Jessie (at JCP in Temecula).Yeah and I can only reach out so far with the camera….ahahahahaha….so yes, I realize I am sort of cut off. HAHA  

Need to drop 10…

…..pounds that is.  What better motivation than to post it publicly!  LOL Goal for this week is to do 10 miles on the treadmill and lay low on the wine. LOL I havent had any for a week now!  Woot, go me!  Granted I am grouchier and not nearly as fun but hey, I wont be as fun when I have to try on a gazillion pairs of pants to find one pair that fits either!  HAHA So here we go….next Monday night, I better have lost at least a pound!  

A visit to Opa and Oma’s

Went to San Clemente today with the kiddos to visit Opa and Oma.  Had fun playing Candy Land and we all went to Dana Point for some fish and chips and the kids got ice creams from Opa (forgot my camera in the car for that one!)  A couple of pics from our day: Smelling Oma’s flowers (after she just picked some lemons off the their tree)  Jevin being goofy (he’d has a cold and licks his lips..hence it looking like he has on hot pink lipstick on!    Daphne watching thomas on the computer and thinking it’s hillarious: Looking at Oma and laughing more because Oma was laughing too: even more laughing :  Jevin and Oma playing Candy Land (and no, he is not reaching for a beer! HAHA)Candy Land Ewok ears…. (apparently too much Coors makes a kid goofy….just kidding!)    

Speaking of albums….

…more sample albums are on the way!  Wee, I love albums.  So much fun.  I like fun colors….so a big yellow saffron one is on the way and for my animal friendly clients I will also be carrying a “Happy Cow” collection made without leather  (red sample is on the way.)  New swatches for lots of choices are also coming as I type this.  If you are interested, shoot me an email and I can bring the samples to our shoot.  :) 

New albums

How fun are these?  They are leather bound albums that come in fun colors.  My favorite color happens to be red so I got a sample one in red leather.  They are flush mount when open (love that feature!) and the pics are mounted onto each page for durability.  These are each individually custom designed for you.  It’s like a fancy book and the story is all about YOU!  And yes, they are pricey….but so is a hair appointment with someone good or a really great pair of jeans….and those things you cant pass on to your kids!   Yummy flush mount:  Inside: closed:     Prices depend on how many images you want to include, how many pages you want, and if you make me revise it 47 times or not.  HAHAHA! Contact me for more details.   

Goofballs at Starbucks

Welcome to my first post on my new blog!  I decided to import the old ones and the pics are coming up funny so give me a couple days to works the kinks out! LOL Here are some goofy shots of my kiddos dancing, jumping, and playing peek a boo at Starbucks.
