Your Under Arrest

I couldn't resist blogging about my Dad, he is one funny character. For the past five years my Dad has made a tradition of posing with cops all the way from Malibu, Chile, Cost Rica, Australia and many more places. Here are a few of those moments.

Into the WILD

"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life." Leo Tolstoy

February Sunshine in California

This weekend I traveled home to California from Colorado. It was warm and sunny! I did SO much... I went to the Venice boardwalk with my best friends Danielle and Mego. Played with my puppies. Hung out with my friends and familia. And soaked up the sun at the beach and pool. It was a much needed relaxing weekend!
