Vans Pier Classic 2009

I'm trying to work on my photography skills. On this day, I went to Huntington Beach. They were having a Junior Surf Competition, called the Vans Pier Classic. I decided to take out my camera and capture some images. Hope you enjoy the beach images, especially if the weather is still cold where you are.

Julie's New Computer

I've been frustrated with my laptop ever since I purchased it. So I decided to save up for an Apple computer. I purchased a MacBook notebook computer and I love it!!! It's has some really great features, but I especially love the Photo Booth program. Here are some photos that I took of Caden and I.

Stella turns 4!

Yesterday we went to Disneyland and California Adventure for Stella's 4th birthday. We had lunch at Ariel's Grotto at California Adventure. All of the princesses come and hang out with the kid's at Ariel's Grotto. Before we went, Caden kept saying that princesses were for girls. Guess who took a ton of photos with the princesses. Another one of Stella's friends, Katie, came with us too.

Skateboard Show

Last week I got invited to a Skateboard Show in San Diego. I didn't know if I was going to get the time off so that we could attend it. I usually work Saturdays. I was able to get it off so that we could attend. My mom went with us. It takes two people to tackle Caden at events like this. Caden had a BLAST. He was very excited and wants to go to more skateboard shows. We won two skateboard decks and a set of wheels in a raffle there too.

Guess Who Got a TV?

Well Mike saw that new dresser of Caden's and loved it. Of course he did. I have great taste. But guess what he said about it? He said, I know what we need above this dresser. I gave him that look. Well within two days of the dresser being delivered, a 32" Insignia LCD with a built-in DVD player arrived. Caden is soo excited. And you know what? He's slept in his bed ever since. So that makes everyone happy!

Julie Actually Cooked

I'm showing these photos cause I actually cooked some food today. I made lasagna. I got the recipe from The Pioneer Woman. She has some great recipes.

Caden Finally Got A Dresser

We've been holding back on getting a dresser for Caden. Cause, you know. He climbs things. My mom finally said that yes, it's time. This kid is acquiring too many clothes. So she bought him the dresser that matched his bed. Mike also put in some recessed can lighting too. Don't mind the nice red stain on his rug. He sprinkled some Crystal Light on it over a year ago.

Friday Night with Stacey and Stella

Mike and I went to dinner with Stacey and Stella at The Cheesecake Factory. We enjoyed a yummy dinner. Caden feasted on the bread. That kid loves bread. Mike left to go to the movies with Eric a little while later. Mike did take Caden and Stella on the HUGE Ferris wheel.

After Mike left, we all enjoyed some cupcakes at SweetSpot.
