While Jane was at work last weekend, Eva and I spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa. With nothing better to do… I took pics… lots of them… like… over 1200 of them…

Be patient my young padwans, the pics will load… eventually… enjoy suckas!!

1. Grandma and Grandpa bought a new inflatable jumping/bouncing/makeyoueatdirtandbendfunnyafteryoujump thing…


2. After some jumpy/bendy time, we went outside and allowed my daugter to play with things she’s not normally allowed to play with.


3. … as long as it isn’t the ISF, Eva can wash the car with a toilet brush…


4. … or with a squeegee…


5. BOOYA BIG LIPS!


6. Grandpa has a hard time posing for the camera…


7/8. … hard time posing… yep…


9. I had to make it up to my dad with at least one semi-decent picture that wasn’t laced with craziness.


10. One hour later, the only one hanging around Eva was Happy…


11. … then came some more time in the jumpypitofdoom…


12. Rocking out with some stunna shades on…


13. 1/1200… those are the chances of snapping normal pictures of my daughter…


14/15. Cause and Effect… oh yea… my Aunt Betty and Uncle Norton stopped by too…


16. I swear there was only 0.1″ of chocolate on that Pocky that Eva inhaled. It’s beyond me how her face looks like that.


17. <3


Before I wrap this up, I just wanted to dedicate this post to Microsoft and Adobe. Without them, I would actually be able to eat lunch next week. Thanks for Vista64 and CS4 guys! I’m only sitting on 12GB of RAM now to run Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom! Maybe next time, I’ll only need C3PO/R2D2/Johnny5 to run CS5??

… I have gotten way behind in getting posts out, and…

… Eva took swimming lessons….







…. Jane started putting Eva in pigtails…



….we visited my aunt Betty and uncle Norton….



….and finally we learned that Eva’s eating habits have not changed, nor has her mother’s hella creepy bubble blowing looks…

I got a bunch of pics to blog still, so I’ll try to get them up this week. Why the lack of posts? <Kanye>WELL…</Kanye> 95 degree weather + 2 24″ displays hitting my face = No processing. This room already feels like a sweatshop on a cool day, so it’s fair to say that it hasn’t been very pleasant in here lately. However, <Kanye> IT IS </Kanye> fair to say that my butt cheeks are like soggy hamburger buns right now as I type this.

Ok back on topic. Eva’s hair started to go Conan the Barbarian on us lately, so we thought about cutting it ourselves and we were reminded of the bowl cut disaster last year. So off we went to Cool Cuts for some stylish hair cuttin action!

Results are belowwwwwwww….

1. Eva, queen of cheese…


2. My face itched for an hour after laying flat on the grass for this shot.


3. My itchy red face then caught the attention of my nosy daughter…


You all >> <Kanye>THAT’S IT? THAT’S ALL THE PICS I GET?</Kanye>

Be patient my padwans, come later this week more pics will…

We’re never going hiking with Eva again. End of post.

Hope you like the pics, cause we ain’t taking this girl hiking until she’s 25. Don’t ask!

Ok, we’re finally back and healthy. It took a while to get the blog back up after our nice little virus encounter, but all is better now. Our apologies to those that may have been infected… (if you visited the site between 4/10 - 4/12, you may want to fire up those virus checkers…)

In lighter news, we took Eva to the Oakland Zoo a few weeks back. We found out a few things…

1. Eva has no idea what is dangerous and what isn’t.
2. Eva thinks everything is either a dog or a bird.
3. Eva still likes to point.

1. Pointing..


2. Pointing again…


3. … and again …


4. … and yet… again….


5. … keep in mind that these are all different exhibits and 90% of the time, Eva isn’t pointing at the animals…


6. … yep… pointing… // 7. No pointing… just pulling…


8. Someone has a big ol fat cheek…


9. I figured I should take at least 1 pic of an animal to prove I was actually at a zoo.


10. Who dat is in the rear viewwwww….


11. Eva’s happiest moment at the zoo: Playing with a stick…

… you take out your strobes and play…

Let me preface this post with a “sorry-my-bad-if-im-cheesy” disclaimer. My bad ok? MY BAD OK? YOU GOT A PROBLEM? YOU WANT SOMEEEEEEEE… ahem… back on topic…

I’ve found that the best and happiest moments with my little one are the ones I never seem to expect. We’re always planning small trips and chasing her with a camera trying to catch photos of her every action, but what I miss sometimes is just her being her goofy-ass self (and yes… I called my daughter a goofy-ass). A simple game of chasing her around the house (and around mommy) can actually become the highlight of my entire day. It’s the little things that keep you tickin I suppose…

We promised Eva we would get her an olympic sized pool one of these days, but with the recession and cut backs ….

… we couldn’t even fill up the water in this pool.

1. Yellow roof = yellow head..


2. Recession = 2 inches of water..


3. Food = 100 rolls …


4. Water + 24mm lens = crazy gargoyle foot…


5. 24mm + Eva’s face = 10 extra lbs… although… Eva’s face - 24mm lens = 20 extra lbs…
