Love this little stinker with all my heart...

Never knew how much you can truly love another human being, until you give birth to one!!! 

Selfies and the baby boomer generation...

My Uncle Terry and Aunt Lil are staying with mom & dad in Sunriver for a couple of weeks. They've been having a great time and I know that Terry and Lil are great for both mom & dad. Mom's been having tougher times and we know it will only continue to get worse.....

I'm rather proud of Aunt Lil and her ability to text me photos...now that she has a smart phone, I asked her to take a selfie of the four of them and send me.  She sent me regular photos, then one of her and Uncle Terry out for a walk, then I got this one!!!  :)  Made my day earlier this week.

Her response to my "you pass" comment cracks me up!  "Pass what...old folks smile contest?"

Mike & Sulley at work...

One of my submitted photos got picked to be up at work...Mike & Sulley at Crater Lake = FUN!!!

Photo contest at work...

Every three months at work we have a photo contest at work. I finally got another photo posted, it's been about three years since my last one went up. It's not really the quality of the photo as what the photo is. I hadn't submitted one in over two years, got tired of my photos not being picked. Silly, but you can't get one put up if you don't submit, so I did. Ironically this is a cellphone shot we took the first Saturday in January of the "Intel effect" near our Ronler Acres campus. It hadn't snowed, but the frozen temps along with the water vapor in the air from the air handlers creates quite the "frozen" look.

Wordless Wednesday (al-la Dean)...

Happy mermaid...

Unlike the scary ones we saw yesterday in Pirates 4...Cracks me up how Sunday morning baths are the easiest ones to give her...

These two...

make me smile! :)

Wordless Wednesday...

The Pud and I...

I just love that my kiddo is also a MORNING PERSON!

I'm taking off to the coast with my quilting buddies this morning for 4 days, so Victor & I both took Charlotte to school. She's the first kid there every morning and she just loves it there. She took me through her morning routine: check-in at the computer, hanging her coat and back pack up on her hook in her classroom, then breakfast in the activity area until class st arts later this morning.

Sandy, the school director, is always there when Victor drops Charlotte off in the morning and we chatted a few minutes about how Charlotte is doing and they absolutely love having her there.



Cellphone self portrait at 6:30am this morning at Charlotte's school.

100,000 miles and going strong...

I LOVE my car!!! Thank heavens I wasn't "speeding" when it flipped 100,000 miles @5:26pm PST time tonight (since I just realized when I downloaded the photo it showed my speed)...I was on hwy 217--I NEVER go over 60 on that road!

Bessie (my car), I love you sweetheart! Our 7-year anniversary is May 18, 2009...Thank you for continuing to be comfortable, reliable and FUN to drive! Here's to the next 100,000!!!

Happiness is....

Coming home to these two after a long day at work and having my new FREE cellphone ready to go and take better photos than my old cellphone.

Just because...

Pretty uneventful night around our house (YEAH)...Took this the other day on my cellphone and forgot to post it.





Why I smiled today...FUN mail from Costco.com to Charlie Cina from Aunt Kellie!! Thank you Kel...we love the collage poster!!!

Love that park...

I don't think we realized just how much we missed living right down the street from our little neighborhood park until recently. Every time we are driving home or leaving home "park peez mommy/daddy?"...

Why I smiled today...Cellphone pictures received while I was at work!

Fun at the Children's Museum...

Why I smiled today...Charlotte had a great time with Victor today (3+ hours)...She even made me some artwork (which required the use of scissors and glue---oh my)...see last photo of this post (future quilter in the making)!!!
