National Underwear Day

Did you know that yesterday was National Underwear Day? I did not until yesterday, and have no idea what I should be celebrating, but thought this would be a great way to honor that day (even though a day late.)As you can tell Audrey's new found love is getting into my underwear drawers and parading her findings around her neck. She does so a couple times a day. Even though my underwear are already all over the internet, I think I'll only really be embarrassed when the babysitter has to clean them up.

WSOP

As of last night ESPN started airing The 2008 World Series of Poker. I am so excited to watch all 45 episodes. This year I feel a little less guilty watching it because I am not breastfeeding a new born- it just felt wrong. If you are interested in some poker action, tune in to ESPN Tuesday nights.

What am I selling now?

Last year one of my students took a few pictures of our family and in return, I let him sell some of the pictures on his iStockphoto. I didn't think much would come of it...I was just doing a friend a favor. For those of you unfamiliar with iStockphoto, the model (me in this case) signs away rights and the photo can be bought and used in any way the purchaser wishes. Anyway, I have now been downloaded (bought) 228 times and in addition to pushing T-mobile careers onto unsuspecting Pandora listeners, I am now advertising a multi-level marketing company. I will not go into MLM structures except to say that I am not a fan. Needless to say, I am feeling a bit prostituted around the internet. Here is a screenshot of the page and if you want to go watch the actual video you can do that too. I show up quickly at the beginning and again at the end. Ugh!

Happy Birthday Eric!

We went to the Orange County Fair today for Eric's birthday. This is over 4th year attending the fair and we are planning on keeping up the tradition. Audrey enjoyed it more this year since last year she was 12 days old. She was not sure about the elephant ride with her Grandpa Deans or the petting zoo, but later warmed up to the animals (from a distance.) She did enjoy waving at all the people and downing some good old BBQ. Here are are few pictures including the bottom one which documented last year's festivities.

Why we don't go to Sears...

Eric and I have never been fans of "traditional portraits." We have nothing against them and Eric has plenty of them from his childhood, but my missionary family never did that sort of thing. We just feel like we have some talented friends that take amazing pictures. A few Saturdays ago we had the Hahn family over for the afternoon. Nicole Hahn took some phenomenal pictures on a walk around the farm. We had to share these with you.

Audrey's Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from Audrey's birthday party and a few of her reopening her presents the next day. It was a 4th of July BBQ style party with 25 or so family and friends. Audrey enjoyed her new "Sand and Water" table and eating her first cupcake (I think she would have downed a few more if we let her.)
