The Trigger Has Been Pulled!

Yes, Casey has hit the big SUBMIT button and applied to medical school. Over 30 schools in fact. All across the country. He has spent many, many hours perfecting his primary application and rewriting sentences over and over until they convey just the right meaning. I no longer have to look over and see him deep in thought or typing away on his personal statement, at least not for a little while. Once the secondary applications are sent to him to complete, it will all begin again. But now it is time for a well deserved break. We look forward to celebrating our 7 year anniversary in the coming weeks. I am so proud of you Casey for completing this first big step! ♥

Baby Birds!

I found these 2 baby birds at a job site. They must have fallen out of their nest because the horse ranchers set them out behind the horse barn. After watching them for several hours and seeing no mother bird paying any interest in them, I took them home so they wouldn't become food for something else.

We got them to eat a bunch of worms once they were at our house. They seemed to double in size overnight! We ended up taking them to the Wildlife Care Network the next morning so they could have the best chance of survival. If you ever find an injured or abandoned wild animal in SB, consider taking them here. They help save over 4,000 animals each year! Read more about their organization HERE.

SBCC Walk

We took these knuckle heads to SBCC to burn off some energy today.

Father's Day Breakfast

This year, we headed out early to go to Pismo Beach and eat at the very cool Huckleberry's Restaurant-we were stuffed!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there! Thank you for all that you do for me. I love getting to work with you every day (even if I have to hunt down your lost hammer all the time).  ;)

I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing day. I love you!

Another One Saved!

I saved this big fatty from the middle of the road. Unfortunately something had just caught her and she dropped most of her tail. I scooped her up and gave her a chance to eat and drink before hiking into a nearby trail and letting her go next to water (and strategically into a poison oak bush!). Hopefully no one else will ever bother her :)

Music Video Using Instagram Pics

Check out this neat video I found. It uses only pictures that have been filtered through Instgram. They shot over 45,000 pics but condensed it down to 1,905 for the video. That is a lot of work!

A Day in My Life

Ever wonder what a person's day is like? I do. 

Here are some of the highlights of my "today."

Wake up at Boston's house and take care of him. Pick up Ella & Batik and take them on an outing. Head to work with my Dad putting in a DogWatch installation. Put in a ton of wire and conduit on the edge of the mountainside for four hours. Stop for a quick snack-super yummy! Finish up one of the last trenches and put our control panel together. Babysit this cutie for five hours. Head home to make sure Banyan gets settled in ok; he is staying for a week. Head back to Boston's to spend the night and give him tons of love.

What is a typical day like for you?

Sleepless In Seattle

My parents and I were invited by the the producer of Sleepless In Seattle-The Musical to come down to the Pasadena Playhouse for the opening night of the play. It was very well done and we all enjoyed it. If you are interested in seeing it for yourself or any other play there, check out the calendar of events.

We Made it to San Fran!

We made it up to San Francisco for Casey's AIDS ride. We got him all checked in and registered, so now we are relaxing in our hotel before our 4am wake up tomorrow morning. Ride festivities start at 5am!

If you want to see pictures of the trip as Casey rides, he will be posting on twitter. You can follow him here: Casey's Twitter. And search #ALC2013 to see tweets and pictures from all the other participants. There are over 3,000 riders this year!

Good luck Casey, I am so proud of you!

P.S. Our hotel room is pretty cool-it even has a dishwasher in the little kitchen area!

I Love My Family

Dinner nights out together as a whole family are extra special :)
