Its tradition

So every Friday is 'Signature Drink Friday' in the Van-Martin house. We research cocktails neither one of us have tried (and magically have all the ingredients for that day) and then see if its disgusting.
Worst drink so far, hands down, was the 'Barbarella': Sambuca mixed with Cointreau...it was terrifying, only drink i have not been able to finish.
Last week was the 'Hot Southern Night': Beer, Peach Schapps and Coke. Not as bad as it sounds, I swear.
Its our favorite weekly tradition.

Birthday Smores

Tuesday was Jacqui's birthday...she was dreading it but how can you be grumpy when you have birthday smores and smoldering eyebrows? Seriously.

Houseguests!

Joy and Jaelynn came to visit this past weekend. We had a very full itinerary.

Park:
Beach:

La Brea Tar Pits (kinda scary for a 3 1/2 year old, oops):

Its hard.

I had to geek out on flowers for a second...the above arrangements perfect or perfectly awful? not with the tin things though.

Grandmas, like Jesus, are magic.

My last weekend in Fresno my grandma asked me if I had ever been drunk . I said "Hmmm, excellent question Gram. Let me get back to you"
