more BBQ!

I went to a barbeque at Ben Dombro's house. It was a mini-college reunion. Who knew Ben is a master barbequer now? Beer soaked wood chips? A smoker? Amazing!

Model A

Back in May, Josh and Whitney came back to California for a visit. I met up with them at Whitney's parents house in Lafayette. Whitney's dad, Mort, took us for a joy ride around town.

I attempted to edit together a video. This is my first time editing and using iMovie. Hopefully I will get better at this...

Claire's Birthday

Claire turned 3! We had fun feeding farm animals at Tilden Park in Berkeley.


Claire doesn't like it when mom takes pictures.
Grandpa mustache looks like a cowboy.
Blowing up balloons is a lot of fun! Great times were had by all. So...it was suggested to me that I add some insight to this blog. Here's my insight regarding the day: All sorts of farm animals really like celery. Cows like it, sheep like it, and goats definitely like it. So....maybe models and livestock have more in common than we once thought? Also, kids are willing to beat up on Dora the Explorer when she is in pinata form.

Also when I was home...

4th of July happened! Went to Lianne's, walked to the beach, and then headed to Erika's to watch the fireworks. Erika's family were all wild and crazy with their conga line. And Erika's little french cousins did some very moody interprative dances for us.

Trying to catch up.

I went home to l.a. a few weeks ago. During that time, we had our annual O'Malley bbq. Great times!

Claire got a kitten

Claire got a kitten and it's adorable! And she just keeps getting more and more adorable:) She's turning 3 next week! There will be a huge party, complete with pinatas and goats at Tilden park.

Maryland

My parents recently went to Maryland and visited my Uncle and Aunt. This made me very jealous. I want to go back. Here's a video from a visit in April 2007. Do you see how relaxing it is?! Sorry the video is so dark...
