Mem Day

Bret and I got a video camera. Hopefully there will be frequent videos (but don't count on it, I'm kind of flakey).

This makes me really happy.

This is me in May

This is Kat and I when she came to visit, I'm not sure what I'm saying, but it looks like we're mad at each other, which makes me laugh

This is Molly and I, I'm saying, "Boo ya Bret"

This is Kirk and Alex on their wedding day, they're probably thinking "I wish we didn't have to take so many pictures".

Here are Brandon, Kat, and Bret. I don't remember what they're saying, but it looks like it was funny.

This is Bret and I in Golden Gate park saying "Oh, we're so indie"

I do an unfair amount of bagging on Oakland. I actually do like it, some days, love it. I'm pretty easy to please as far as cities go, as long as it's not too cold or not in Nevada. But even then I'll make exceptions. I guess you could say I love the whole world.

Here we are on a day in Oakland, enjoying Bakesell Bettys. You all should go there, it smells like heaven and they gave me the largest piece of banana bread for free. i love free. This is the line outside...

These are the tables...

This is a very strangely located chocolate shop that was sadly closed when we were there:

Oh ya know, just your normal creative recycling store? The inside was as magical as the title suggests:

Fish Eye Friday pt. 2

This is me thinking, "Look at me! I'm baking with wheat germ, I'm incredible."

I won't show you a picture of how the home made granola bars turned out, but I'm not thinking I'm so incredible anymore.

Great News

I know we've gotten really bad about this blog business. oops. But I have some good news. This week is join the bone marrow registry for FREE week! Normally there is a $52 fee to pay for the lab work they do on the cotton swabs you send in, but it's waved from Monday April 27th- Monday May 4th.

Go to marrow.org/join to register and type in the promotion code: APAMSA509 (enter this where it says "Promo Code"). If you have any hesitation, you can read all about it on the website or email me for further information, whitneyjay@gmail.com.

and thank you kitty for bringing this to my attention, I'm glad you've got my back.

Fisheye Friday

 

From this day forth I hereby dub Fridays "Fisheye Fridays." Whitney and my knee on a sand dune between Bodega Bay and Jenner, California, USA.

Babies

If I could guarantee that all of my children would be exact clones of Hailey, I'd probably have 16 of them. I just hope and pray that my daughters love swap meets, garage sales, and playing fetch with a frisbee as much as she does.


But until then...

Best $20 Ever Spent

Today Bret got a calculator watch and I'm pretty sure it's the happiest I've ever seen him. Every time he looks at his wrist, it is as if he is witnessing a genius mathematical invention for the first time.

Lewis and Clark

Bret and I have gotten down to business this past month and done some serious exploring, you know, since it is year of the explorer. We've seen a lot of cities/towns we knew nothing about like Yountville, Calastoga, Oxnard, Santa Paula, El Segundo, and Claremont. Oh and we went camping at Leo Carillo State Beach, it is right above Malibu and is unbelievable, I would recommend it. Here are some pics of us exploring...

Such a good bakery. We've been exploring bakeries too.

Ride from Yountville to Calistoga, I think I look funny in this pic, but maybe that's how I look.

Ted's been exploring too, he was beat.

Leo Carillo State Beach

and we celebrated the wedding of these two and the soon to be wedding of this one.

I came home with a stomach ache from our weekend adventure and then bret reminded me that it was probably the me-n-eds, grub, walters, subway, carl's jr, wendys, and taco bell we ate in 3 days. Oh and maybe the 3 lb bag of trail mix we ate that has been recalled because of Salmonella.
