New Glasses

Last weekend G and I went to Lenscrafters in the mall to get new glasses.  I have been carrying around a new prescription since last August because last time I had glasses made (in 2007) they had the wrong prescription in them. I wore them around for over a month try to get used to them before I went back to the eye doctor to check my eyes again. There they told me the glasses were made wrong. I marched right back to Lenscrafters, and they re-made them correctly. Fast forward 18 months, and guess what - they made them wrong again! When I put them on it was like looking through a fun house mirror, and the technician at Lenscrafters told me to try them for a few weeks to adjust to the new prescription, just like last time! I refused and insisted they were wrong, they called out an optician who verified that they were not made correctly. They told me the problem was the frame I choose! Can you believe it! So I had to search through the store to pick another frame then wait for them to be made again. They're good now, but the whole ordeal took a total of 6 1/2 hours of my Saturday! And I paid more for they 2nd choice frame! I will never trust Lenscrafters again.

Hail in Hollywood

Last weekend I was in Hollywood to watch a dance competition. While waiting for coffee at Universal City Walk, the skies opened up and hailed! It went on long enough to pile up like snow. Hollywood, land of stars and sunshine! When I watched it back with my daughter we were surprised to see that I captured her and her friend at the end of the video, ducking under umbrellas, carrying their red dance duffels.

Dad's Birthday

On G's birthday we had cake, then presents. He wanted a new suit.

But he is very choosy about his clothes, so I gave him this little photo of a suit. He also got some new ties, yep, that's 3 skinny black ties and one tan tie.

Here he is in the new suit he chose for himself, looking handsome and happy!

On Valentines Day I left heart shaped treats on the breakfast table for the kids and ahandmade card for my husband. Later, for dessert, Audra baked up a mountain of brownie bites for everyone.

Audie's Orange

We have this dwarf orange tree in our backyard. It is pretty and smells great in the spring when the orange blossoms come out, but it has only produced 1 orange in 8 years. This winter, G stopped timming the branches and let it kind of grow wild for a few months, and what do you know...oranges! Audra picked this big, bright one today.

Audra took this photo herself.

Touchdown!

Jared has been playing Flag Football for a couple seasons now. He loves playing and has learned alot. He usually plays center on offense and blocks on defense. Last Saturday he was on defense and the other team was going for goal, Jared intercepted the pass and ran all the way downfield for a touchdown. His coach was so happy and we were so proud of him. In our excitement, we missed the shot, but took a photo right after the game. Go Jared!
