365 Days of Education

august 2 – Grandma Monster’s cookies

July 30 – Daphne

My cousin’s dog lounged on the driving range while the boys hit some golf balls in Vail.

July 4 – Jelly Belly Buddy

Since we had watched fireworks in Sebastopol, we headed for home. One hour into the drive, we saw signs for the Jelly Belly Factory. Even the pizza & burgers were jelly bean shaped!

June 24 – Mammoth Lakes

The mountain is behind us.

Bonus – Sunning

It was over 75 degrees and we were working on our tan lines.

April 22 – My Sister Knits

All the time.

She keeps her yarn under glass on display in her dining room, too. Very pretty!

March 12 – Wasabi

One very complicated game.

Cody & I discovered the Haunted Game Cafe and headed down to play something new. Great games and the latte was yummy, too!

January 14 – Morning hair

Penny- This one’s for you.

You mentioned you were thinking of letting your son keep his long hair because the photos of Cole make long hair look so cute. I thought I’d show you what he looks like in the morning, just out of the shower. If he would let me take a picture of him while he’s holding it out of his soup, believe me, I’d post it.

I think the ipod headset is permanently attached. Darn those kids and their newfangled devices.

January 1 – Fondue

And the mushroom was THIS BIG.

Yes, there were leftovers. FYI: my tempura batter (on the mushroom & in the blue bowl) was perfect! I may not be learning much about photography, but my cooking has definitely improved.

December 27 – Poncho

Wade is an amazing shopper. He picked up that Snuggie for only $2.99, a gorgeous leather jacket for me at 85% off and four of these bad boys ($2.99 – 10%). That’s right, matching family ponchos.

His secret? The Bargain Hunter
