Just Us

Christmas 2012    (Clockwise from back left) - Glenn, Al Zamora, Mom, Dad, Jeannette Mitchell Roberts, Marie Mitchell Wallwork, Margo Mitchell Zamora        

I have nothing and everything to say.  There's a whole lot going on in my head right now.  Good things, frustrating things, things I just need to work the heck out.  I'll get there, just have to decipher it all before I can put coherent thoughts together.  So for now I'll just post all these crazy photos that don't belong anywhere except in a post about nothing.

I am thinking Ethan took this at Walmart.  In the 'Intimates' section. Nice.  Not sure what Lila is doing, saying or yelling.


 Two weeks ago the kids and I awoke before the sun to take my dad to a Dr. appointment.  After dropping him off we hit up a very ghetto 7-11 for some breakfast.  (from left)  Yogurt and granola brought from home in a recycled yogurt island cup for me.  Cup o' Noodles for Emry.  Hot chocolate for Lila.  Naked juice for Emry and Lemonade and the cough drops for Ethan. 

Emry has never been one for eating a typical breakfast.  She'll eat pasta, avocado, or a tuna sandwich.  She's rad. 


We had many hours to kill during my dad's Dr. appt.  so we spent a few hours at the Fontana Chuck E Cheez.


 One of the (many) pics that didn't make the cut for our Christmas card.  


Shopping at the mall.  Ethan doesn't like shopping, and why yes that it his Halloween costume which is part of his regular outfit rotation now.


 This was taken after Ethan wanted to take a picture of us in a photo booth.  I said "What?!?!"  Why spend $3.50 on photos when I can take them with my sweet iphone for free.  Well besides whatever monthly fee Glenn pays.  So no, I guess not at all free.


Picnic at the park.  They're playing hot potato with a ball that shocks you.  Fun.  Notice there are no adults in this picture.


 I took the kids to Yogurt Island only to realize it was.........."FREE"!!!  We hadn't been in weeks and I swear it was just karma for being a devoted yogurt island lover that we happen to go in the 4 hour block where in celebration of their 5 year anniversary the yogurt was on the house.  Sweet!!!!!!    Mine is clearly the one on the bottom.


Ethan Glenn, Glenn, & Lila Glenn.  It's just fun saying Glenn so many times :)


They are reading up on the addition to our family,  Elf on the Shelf.  We have a million gazillion books in the house but I swear if one kid is reading a book the other two always want to read it too.  It's annoying and endearing at the same time.


Awwwwwww, I am such a proud momma.  Not proud enough to be at the actual award ceremony (forgot) but proud enough to break out the iphone camera when I worked in his classroom later on that day.


Emry doing a science experiment from a kit she got for her birthday.  The other day Ethan got a nosebleed and Emry started talking about red blood cells & coagulation and I kind of zoned out at all the big words she was using.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if Emry grows up and cures cancer.


Lila and her Grandma Wallwork.  We've finally finished off the last of the 300 pounds of oranges we brought home from Fresno.  I actually had to BUY oranges at Costco the other day.  How annoying.


I texted this pic to my best friend Shauna to say "hey look I am wearing the dress you got me for my birthday years ago, thanks, I still love it".  She finally got the pic a week later.  We're like dumb & dumber when it comes to our cell phones.  Once I finally figured out her correct cell phone # we actually managed to have a nice text conversation.  I am sure we'll do it again in another couple of months.  Love you Shauna.

  1. I love posts that are filled with randomness, such fun. The picture of you and Ethan is so cute. I don't think I would want to play that version of hot potato.

    1. The flavor I got is Taro, it's a root vegetable kind of like a yam. Not many people like it but it's my favorite!

  17. I love the randomness...it piles everything together that would not be a post on its own.

    I hope things are going ok and that find some peace of mind.

    The dress is awesome and I particularly love those boots.

  20. Cup O Noodles...I love it. I used to eat totally random things for breakfast when I was a kid too. Top Ramen, chocolate ice cream, cookies, pizza. I really had the most amazing metabolism!

    Beautiful pictures, especially the last one. :)

  21. You're just a funny, funny, funny girl.

    However, I'm judging you for your choice in frozen yogurt toppings.
