A sweet gift from the girls when I was sick with allergies ALL weekend long:
Training at work, from my desk.....for 4 very long hours:
Mallory, testing out why dogs have so much fun sticking their heads out the window:
We are so silly:
Just another day on tv!
Birthday party for a friend of Jesse's.....which ended up being the "cooincident of the century" because it was directly next door to the house I grew up in:
Church dinner:
Also at the church dinner....if I could get my neck to appear this long in all photos and in person, I'd be happy:
Purple cauliflower.
Over-priced and freaky-looking, but just as tasty as the white kind:
Went to Karl Strauss @ lunch to p/u some growlers of beer for Jesse's brother and his friends. Had to try and conceal the fact that some spilled and my cubicle smelled like beer for the second half of the day:
Sick day, healthy lunch:
Toesies:
Mallory modeling the hat I knitted for her a few years ago:
Happy mail day for me:
Hard at work/play:
Playdate!
Funniest sign that made me laugh out loud...not as funny to Jesse:

Dropping off at school:
Drill Team shins:
Cute schoolwork:
(translation if you can't decode 2nd-grade hand-writing: Missy is a good companion because she sleeps with me at night. She is real fuzzy. I like it when she purrs.)
Beautiful sky:
Going for walks:
Silly faces:
Arissa asked me to please make Abigail stop choking her. I said good lord Arissa, you can just tell her no and take her hand off....Arissa said "but she was having fun!":
I took FOUR CHILDREN to Target.
By myself.
Three of them are well behaved because I put the fear of God into them, the other one is well-behaved by nature it seems, but still. Four.
That lady on tv with the 19 kids is insane.
Last Padres game of the season.....BEST seats we have ever had or will ever have again probably. Courtesy of a friend of my Dad's:
Root root!
Super fancy lunch @ an Indian restaurant downtown with paralegals from my office:
I guess it was probably obvious that I don't eat at places like that very often, since I was the only one taking pictures of everything. :)
??? Just us:
Mmmmm lunch: black bean soup (with feta cheese & avocado) and a greek salad:
dumping continued...
I like taking picture of food, when it's good. :)
This is a turkey sandwich (that I had to settle for, because they did away with the vegetarian one I used to swoon over), and the best soup ever on earth for all time:
Mariah's baptism day (and why does my face look so wide):
Messing around with the functions on my phone while waiting for Mariah to get some dental work done:
Couldn't WAIT to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie (took this photo during the credits):
One of the many Padres games we went to over the summer:
Tryin' to squeeze everybody in:
Found this sweet child walking around downtown, picked her up and she came to work with me for a few hours. And I took this pic on our 12-block walk back to my car:
Worn out shoes that I loved and couldn't give up and wore for probably 18 months past their "expiration date". Had to hot glue the bottoms shut every morning for several months! May they RIP.
More messing around @ the Super Dentist's:
More food. Cobb salad from Nordstrom, mmmmmm:
Agree:
New earrings that make me happy:
How I feel I appear to the world everyday (gargantuan):
