Ladd Photos

Three friends from Bakersfield, Jialan, Connie, and Rosalva, happened to be in Las Vegas for the weekend so we met up with them for lunch. Later that evening, at dinner, AJ decided to pose for some pictures.

Some pictures of my new brother and sister. AJ and Michaela, the dogs, and grandma. It is hard to believe that I have a 1 year old brother and a 4 month old sister.

More Ladd Family 2.0 pictures. The cute 6 year old wearing pink in the photos is Juanita, a foster child staying with my parents for a while. Along with Aliciana and me, my parents house contained Juanita, AJ, Michaela, Grandma, my mom, my dad, my sister Courtney, the 2 dogs, and Molly the cat. It was quite a zoo.

The Blue Angels were practicing over Mercer Island in preparation for Sea Fair. They are very loud but impressive.

Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary Mom & Dad!!! We celebrated the day with family and friends with a party at home. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor party. And it was great to see and spend time with people that I have not seen in a while.

Day after the big party. Wow, were we all tired. We spent the day laying around.

Kristel and I were brave enough to take the four older boys to the San Diego Zoo. This was Marco and Cesar’s first time to the zoo. We all had a fun time and I enjoyed spending time with my nephews.

I took a few pictures of the passion plant at my parent’s house. Chris was wondering what the flower and its fruit looked like. Also took a couple of pictures of Mount St. Helens from the airplane.

Taking in the beautiful sights of the Puget Sound. We hiked to the beach at Discovery Park and took a look at the lighthouse. Then, we hauled ourself back up the hill. It was about a 3 mile hike round trip.

My brother Nick, soon-to-be sister-in-law Jessie, my beautiful wife Aliciana, and I decided to checkout the Sunday performances at this year’s Bumbershoot. We saw a couple good bands, North Twin and The Bouncing Souls, and also visited some of the art exhibits. We were also hoping to see The Horror Pops, but they canceled at the last minute. Suck.

Stolen from Kevin, who stole it from someone else. When did Congress gain power over the sun, and why can’t they cause Seattle to be sunny year round?

It turns out that this article was actually published by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, but the author meant it as satire. Hopefully, the editors of the newspaper realized this as well when they published it.
