Birthday wishes for a special birthday girl!

good things come in threes ;)

pensive

baby ashley wondering whether she wanted another grape.

oh these moments are priceless. if only she (and christine & dave, her parents) weren't leaving for chicago in a month :(

which one?

intently studying a paper or anticipating the taste of a delicious some crust cake in her mouth?

you can decide.

Dinner with my favorite all american boys (and favorite viet) at the grove.

brea farmer's market

serendipitously the accidental tourist, i ended up strolling through brea's weekly farmer's market. while enjoying my chicken empanada (oh my gosh, they're just like the ones from paraguay!), i took out my camera and started snapping away.


this little boy was so oddly pensive. not in that normal kind of little-kid way either.















i love tomatoes! there's something so wonderful about them. like martha stewart used to say, they're a "good thing."







he was quite the willie nelson. there was something sad to the way he sung his songs. i don't know if that was because he's just passionate about his music or because he was sad with the songs.

reason #2048758674 to find me a man

apparently, my car LOVES to give me problems when i'm busiest! as i was leaving to run some errands, i noticed the flat.

although i've changed my own tires before, i thought something fishy was going on and decided to call triple A.


an hour later (and after spending too much time under the sun), i ended up with a lovely new tire on my car.

triple A can be my ever-ready, cheerful and helpful boyfriend!
