My Experiment

Okay...so I had this problem...I had a bunch of fruit flies flying around my kitchen. I think it is because I left a few bananas out to get a little too ripe. These flies were driving me crazy so I thought that I would try an experiment. I filled a little shot glass sized cup up with apple cider vinegar. I heard that you could catch more flies with honey than vinegar but I know that the honey would not quite kill the flies so I left the cup out for a few days and to my astonishment I found a bunch of dead flies at the bottom of the cup. I am so happy... no more flies.

Yes on 8

I feel very strongly about this subject, but what I love is the fact that we live in a country where we can agree to disagree and still have love and respect for one another.

On A Lighter Note

I feel like the ones in the middle.

My Beautiful Grandma Virginia

I just love my Grandma Virginia...I can't tell you how awesome it is to have my grandma near me while I am a grandma. To see the five generations all at once is a miracle. I so appreciate the life my Grandma lead. She is such an example and an inspiration to me. This year she turned 90 years old. I just love her so much.

Here my Grandma is in her early teens.

She is so amazingly photogenic.

She's adventurous.
This is my Grandpa Sepe & Grandma Virginia. My Grandma has been widowed for about 51 yeara.
Don't they just belong in Hollywood? She was always mistaken for a celeb.

Boy does she love her time in Vegas!
She's even an athlete.
What a sexy mama! She is where I get my love for the River from.

I totally remember that coat...it was sooooo soft. Doesn't she look like a perfect cross between my mother and my Aunt Maddy.
She loves to travel. The cruise is the way to go!
This was taken when she turned 80. What a beauty!

Grandma Virginia...I love you!!

Blast to the Past Photo of the Week (Happy Birthday Wendy & Kevin)

This one of Wendy was taken December of 1984.

I just wanted to send out a special "Happy Birthday" to Wendy and Kevin. How old are you now? I have lost track...I think that you guys are now older than me...jk. These pictures were taken in 1985. We were all together celebrating Michael's graduation from the police academy.

Treats at the Mall

We went to the mall the other night and Esther got to eat an ice cream cone...dig her tongue action. She was sucking it like a bottle and heaven forbid you try to take it away from her.

Homecoming Dance

Sam and his date, Megan, met up with a bunch of friends to attend the homecoming dance. They all met (I think that there were 14 of them) in David's backyard and a few of us moms (and dads) put together this awesome dinner. David's dad Tony brought back Salmon from his Alaska fishing trip and cooked it up with some Fettuccine Alfredo ( and chicken for those who didn't like fish) and asparagus. I made my famous rolls and Janet make some scrumptious apple and cherry pies. They all had a great time.

The whole group.

Isn't that a beautiful set-up?

Homecoming

This last week Marina had their Homecoming Game against Huntington Beach High School. It was a great game...especially for Sam. He rushed for 230 yards and made three touchdowns. The final score was 21-14 Marina. It got pretty close at the end, but our defense pulled through. The trophy at the bottom here represents our rivalry with HBHS. We have it back now and it's staying for a while. This week Marina will be playing Orange High School...Good Luck Vikings!!
