Baseball

I'll admit it, I don't get the sport. There is no time limit. 9 innings that could last all day if so be it (and the crowd would love it).

Sweet 16

Rhythm and Blues

We are anxious to watch Top 10 tonight

Mythbuster

Apparently if you lick the peppermint gum wrapper and put it on your forehead it will sting (in our social experiment this did not work).

Campaigning

-First of all what is the difference between and campaign and a program?--

-Second I think all Dell Perot employee should insert campaign after every new initiative we have

Its my mom

Oh wait, its me.

I miss Soccer Saturday

Soccer Saturday consists of all day at the soccer field. It sure beats 3 sports at 3 different locations all at the same time.

Baseball 1:00
Basketball 1:30

Vollyball 12:30

And now she is 13

Thank you B. Grayson

Today I got a letter in the mail from Flagstaff, AZ. I couldnt figure out who from Northern AZ would be sending me a letter. I narrowed it down to someone on the NAH Account.
.
Alas, no. It appears from the small slightly sloppy, look a lot like my brother's writing:

I found this outside a shop in Hollywood March 20, 2010. hopefully it gets to you in time before you get a new one.

That a cool college kid found my drivers license during Spring Break and kindly mailed it home.

Every mother of a 14 year old should......

....Pull out their yearbook from the same age and review their state of mind:
I was the yearbook editor - great cover huh ? (yes I know, but it was the same year that Captian EO came out. Please give me at least one point for the good penmanship)

As mentioned before I was the yearbook editor. Why in the hell would I allow that phrase under my name in the candid shot. On a side note how spooky is the MMJ resemblance in this picture?

Not only does this page have at least 3 of my close friends (Amy, Tammy, Angie you are hot). But look how helpful I was at pointing out who was "going with who".

And as if I wasnt boy crazy enough, so helpful pointing out who all the boys are on this page.

Mike Moore is so damn funny. And I forgot I was "going with" Mike Noorda for the last week of 9th grade.

BSF

I asked the children if they would take a picture of Alice and I with the clear instructions that it is a little more difficult on the Droid. Sophia jumped at the chance to take pictures of "Bestest Sisters Forever"

Yeah so I didnt like this one

And Alice hated this one

Aghhhh there is motion

Ok we'll take it :)

New co-worker (he is cool and I am not technical)

Pretend as if I forwarded this as an email (which it is). Read from the bottom up.

Laura, what room will we be demonstrating the OR Control system in tomorrow? I want to see if we can somehow use their touch screen monitor and at the same time project the image with either a projector or TVs. We may need to get a VGA splitter or something to do this if possible.

How did that happen

But mom, it just got in the tree

Ok it was a bad day

Spring Break Day 6 and 7 (the end)

Its all about Alice

Good Times

Last week when Dan was at my house I ended my sentence on the way to go pick up my daughter, "Yeah good times"
.
Dan was so annoyed. What does good times mean anyways and who started that? After a brief moment of thought I said, "I think it came from Joe". Dan says, "Oh no it is all over facebook, its not just a Young thing. People everywhere are dumb".
.
So I get to the Skinners. "Come on CEM lets go". Grant "Good times"
.
Thats what I was thinking

Good Times

Picky Pickle Eaters

When CEM was small she would only eat pickles and cucumbers as her snack. In awe by this Kim actually bought her pickle ice cream. Now the eldest Thomas' child has the same eating habits.

She didn't learn to pose from me

Nectar of the Gods (Again)

I swore off soda in May 2008 when it was clear that I was becoming addicted to Coke Zero. I stopped cold turkey and slowly introduced the Nectar of the Gods back in in February of 2009 with the personal agreement that it could only be in moderation and I wouldn't purchase for use in my own home.

.

Everytime I go to Kim's she has a case there "Just for you Laura". Now I have always thought she was full of it and just being a kind friend. Surely she and David drink the best soda on the planet.

.

Last time I was there it tasted a little funny but I just figured it had been a while since I had one (maybe the memory is better than the actual drink), my taste buds were off (toothpaste makes it taste bad) or (no or, I actually didnt put this much thought into - just added the or for the dramatic effect).

.

Fast forward a month. I go the the World of Coke and am reminded how much I love this drink. Coke Zero has a touch of heaven in it.

.

Back to Kim's house. It tastes terrible. Um yeah, I guess she does just keep them on hand for me.

Spring Break Day 3,4 & 5

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Water and Park (not Water Park), Hollywood (where I cared about Ripley and the kids cared about Wax. Also, a great place to lose your drivers license), Raffis' Place (Persian and Armenian at its best), Disneyland & CA Adventure and The Real Disney (Did you know that Sydney has more Ariel videos than my children - and they are all not even opened??).
.
PS Shout out to Carol - you are the best mom (second only to mine)

Happy Belated St Patriicks Day

Posting this picture cost me a pair of shoes. Figured better late than never

Very Wise

The rest of the photos from the South

What the heck is a quality of life unit and yes that is a giant skate
