no, it’s not what you think.

this is our new venture into adulthood…a real tv stand.

yummy dinner; salsa and black bean soup:

florida was great! it was a little cold the first couple days, but the last day was excellent. here’s a small photo story:

leaving my baby

grandpa, uncle don, aunt debi, mom, and grandma:

my favorite goat…i can’t resist the jheri curl

mom and i on HER dock…pretty view

STORY: we’re in the car on the way to the beach and mom says she thought about getting me a plastic shovel and pail so i could play. of course everyone laughed. i waited patiently for their laughter to die down and then informed my mother that my father in law had, in fact, given me a plastic shovel in both hawaii AND oregon. so there. the next thing i know, mom slams the breaks and hits a hard left into a store. “what are we doing mom?” “getting you a pail and shovel” LOL.

it’s a pretty sweet set. pail, shovel, sifter, boat, and um, watering can? i laid them on the beach side by side and asked my uncle don “which one of these is not like the others?” (tee hee)

no i didn’t make it, but check out the bride in the background! i didn’t get a picture of my sand creation because i had to run away from it quickly to see some dolphins, BUT, just so you know, it was a delicious looking banana split sand sundae.

mom, me, and uncle don finding shells:

STORY: mom told me stories about “re conning the head.” for several years i’ve heard about it and couldn’t quite understand what she was talking about, but i can now say that i have done so myself. i have re conned the head. the “head” is actually one of the sections of this amazing miniature golf course. the “head” is a replica of the easter island statues. evidently this is a privately owned facility which mom discovered one night with a friend and they decided to check it out. turns out that the “head” has stairs in it that lead to the very top which gives a great view of, well, down below. although we were in broad daylight, mom insisted that i re con the head with her ninja style. here’s our story:

“hey mom, how’d you get over there?”

“you have to climb the fence moe!” (note: although i could have just walked through the front, mom was adement that i go full ninja and told me i had to jump the fence. sweet isn’t it? mothers teaching their daughters to tresspass…so is the beauty of life…i am forced to rebel against the law to please my mother.)

there’s more stairs than you’d think

DUCK! there’s a helicopter!

hi grandma!

I AM NINJA!

so that was the reconnaissance mission. that course was amazing though. it boasted many a photo opt.

so my grandparents are pretty much the coolest old people on the planet. they still hold hands and kiss! lol! super cute.

so i’ve started a new section on my blog and it’s called “people who look like people.” ever see someone that looks a lot like someone else? i do. and i’ve started taking pictures. please note though that it is difficult at times to take someone’s picture without their knowledge, so please excuse the blurriness. oh yeah, and try to suspend disbelief. these are just people that i think look like someone. TIP: if you are having trouble seeing what i see, squint your eyes and shake your head slightly while you look at the pictures. here are my first submissions:

= todd packer from the office:

= mark twain:

= abe lincoln:

(for matt: “no, i didn’t say abe lincoln! i said HEY BLINKIN! hold the reins man. damn.)

the return <3

so the trip was great and i had a marvelous time. my mom is awesomely awesome in a way that i never saw till this trip. she rocks hard core! and if you ever find yourself wondering how i got so cute:
