me n my bug
this picture has several titles...

"oh look! we've joined the human race again! "
"pleasanton house thai is the best food ever"
"crazy mommy was so excited to b out to dinner with her family, she had the server take a picture"
my coffee man takes good care of me.
i know, this is terrible, but he was walking around like that for a while crying cause he slammed his finger with the hammer. i couldnt help myself... OH, and dont feel too bad for him. this is like, the THIRD time he has every-so-sneakily taken the hammer into the backyard to "work" and bonked himself on the hand.

id like to call this one "sibling rivalry"

kitten update

the kittens have opened their eyes! they are so damn cute!!
the kids have given them temporary names..

Our little black one is "foxglove mittens kitten" because she has "gloves"
Megan's kitten is "Maisie Daisy daffodil"
And avery calls LaReina's "firework head kitten"

and this is why i belong behind the lens...
