{for u dad}

I remember as a kid you ALWAYS wore a pair of Sperry Top-Siders. You would wear them until they were way past done and then a brand new box would appear. I thought they were the ugliest shoes ever made and still kinda do. I never thought that one day I would be sporting a pair of my very own. Can you? They definitely aren't the ones you wear but ones that I would wear.  I guess I am my Father's daughter :) We like the same foods, are easy going, keep a lot inside, competitive, and have that sick Porter side of the family sense of humor. Remember the time I beamed you in the back with a tennis ball? I'm laughing about that right now....sick, right? I love you Dad. Let's get out on the court and run some lines and beam some balls...lol

{park central}

Park on his way to the 6th grade dance. Funny thing about that is last night he was telling me he didn't want to go! A friend who happens to be a girl has been recruiting him to go to the dance. Park asked me what to say since at the time he didn't want to go so I said,  "tell her to have fun." Today 3 girls on their bikes show up at our house and hang out for awhile. Guess who changes his mind about the dance? Have fun with your friends P-man and remember to stay true to you ;)

{hud & the hat}

Thank you Deana for Jake's hat. Hud has worn this off and on since he was 3! He has worn it with baseball pants, slider shorts, and with whatever works for him that day.  I don't have the heart to tell him that it is a little too big and he may not be styling the look all the way :)  Before I took this photo, he was asking me what was under his hat. He had water balloons in there and an Altoids can....pure randomness! Luv this crazy dude!

{happy easter + happy birthday alan}

Happy Easter! We spent the day in Alpine with my brother's family and friends.
Always have a good time there! We celebrated Alan's bday  too.....we love you
and appreciate all that you do for us :) 

Lyla under the pier in Avila. I had some fun with my camera.  I will post more photos
of our trip to Pismo Beach soon.  

I loved the colors under this pier. Look at the blue pole in the background.....love the texture/color!

P-man and HUD messing around

HUD giving me lots! 

The dunes in Pismo. Alan's Mom was his co-pilot. Can't say this was my favorite thing to do but glad I went. I was sitting there thinking how pretty the sand was and how I would love to be taking photos of someone.  Check out the Mickey Mouse sweatshirt P-man borrowed for the ride....sweet! 

I can say I had a ton of fun shopping in San Luis Obispo with Nana Jean! Jean you were down for it all!
The shopping, the hiking, the pool, the IPA's :)  I will remember you singing us the "Red Solo Cup Song" and smile.  Miss you already Jean!

{like this song}

Always looking for music for the gym....I like their stuff   :)
