.013 Newman's Own Pout

This picture, to me, is priceless. This is my mom who clearly loves her grape juice. Unfortunately at this particular dinner there wasn't any left for her to enjoy. So what do you do when you're all out of delicious juice and left with a boring bottle of water? There are several options...

A) Pout

B) Furrow Brow

C) Slouch

D) All Of The Above

:)

.012 Dog Diva

This is my dog, Lucy, showing off her attitude. I threw on the shades for her and she used my hand as a prop. She always knows how she wants her pictures to come out! :P

.011 Summertime Sunshine

This is my 7 year old niece, Mackenzie. I came home from work to find her and her mom visiting my house. So of course we played in the back yard! Evening sunshine in the summer is so fun to play in. I love this picture because of how the sun looks, and because Mackenzie is the sunshine in so many people's lives.

.010 A Light For Tom Petty

Last night was the Tom Petty concert with my youngest sister, Colleen, her boyfriend of 2 years, Tim, and my best friend, Stef. Tim actually bought Colleen the tickets for their 2 year anniversary. Seeing Tom Petty live was #3 on her list of things to do before she dies. Mission accomplished. The moon was perfect, the sky was clear, and they played all the right songs. Amazing experience. It makes me very grateful to have my family and my friends. When everything seems to be going ballistic either in my professional life or personal, this moment is going to stay with me forever. To know that for one night all of these people (and the tons of others that were there last night) shared one common interest with myself, we were all there for the music and the good times to be had, and they were most definitely had.

.009 Door

The other day my 7 year old niece, Mackenzie, asked me why I had so much stuff on my door and if I got in trouble for drawing on it. I told her no, I've been doing it for a while and that she could write something on it if she wanted to. So this is what she decided to write for me:

She's precious.

.008 Stef Braids My Hair

Stef gave me a french braid earlier this summer, I LOVE having my hair in a french braid. It's so contained and makes for less knots when I brush it.

.007 iAttitude

This is a screenshot from my iPhone. Sometimes it's so funny to give the nicest people you know an unnecessary attitude.

.006 iWake & iPhotograph

I took this earlier in the week before I left for work around 8am. Some flowers fell off the trumpet vines in the driveway onto the hood of Chelsea's truck because of the rain over night.

.005 Frenemies

First off, the credit to this photo goes to ... well ... all of us 3 sisters. Colleen took the photo with Chelsea's iPhone and I'm uploading it to my blog. Teamwork! Lately, Tony has been bringing his dog Flash over to hang out in our backyard while he works with Corey around the property. As much as Lucy and Flash love to be friendly dogs, Lucy can't help but be curious about Flash's intentions, seeing as this is her territory. Dogs are quite particular about who and what is laying down in their yard.

.004 Bisters Stands for Best Sisters

My two sisters and me all piled in the cab of Chelsea's truck driving to Vermont. Sitting hip-to-hip for approx. 4 hours makes for a very numb bum!

.003 iLove July 4th

The fireworks at the Lapinski's party this past July 4th

Ella loving the sparklers! They made for wicked cool pictures at night, including this one.

.002 Graduation

Colleen looking up at me while Mr. Scanlon attempts to direct the rest of her class before the ceremony begins.

.001 Proud Parent of a Sunflower

I remember when this was just a little seed, it flowered this week. Such an accomplishment!
