Pictures Lately

After Europe I got another phone and have continued taking pictures of what happens in my life. Since my last posts have been about the actual trip I have collected a good amount of photos throughout the last 6 weeks or so of being home (I can't believe I have already been home that long!). So here are pictures lately!

The day after I got back Chris and I went hat shopping and had some fun!

 Brad and I oh so happy!

 Mom drinking a beer...and a big one! This never happens, ever!

 Chocolate covered bananas and a Balboa Bar from Newport Beach

 My bike was out of commission for a long while, finally got a tune up and road that baby all over the place!

 Hiking with my really good friend Britney in L.A. at Runyon Canyon

 Yep! I used the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM Machine and it makes me happy I live so far away from it because I would get fat

 My weakness

 Peanut Butter Banana Sushi! Get: Whole wheat tortilla, tablespoon of peanut butter, one banana, honey and strawberry slices (optional)
Spread PB on tortilla, place banana, roll up and cut into pieces, drizzle honey on top and garnish with strawberries...delicious!

 Cut my hair! It was time for a change

Brad's 13th Birthday at Disneyland!

Channeling my inner-kid with Minnie Mouse ears

 Aren't we so photogenic? I actually really like this picture of us, it's perfectly imperfect

 Deliciously unhealthy dinner...homemade carnitas burrito with homemade enchilada sauce and homemade guacamole! My mouth is watering now...

 ...and back to healthy

New bracelets! Or 'armswag'....they never get old!

 Sunsets

 Love, love, love! Pin-up girls!!

It's waaaaaay too bright without sunglasses, good thing I own way too many pairs

 And Sprinkles did it to me again....dammit!

 Sassy Cassie all sprawled out after a long hot day on my desk

Amsterdam

Amsterdam! So much more than the red light district and coffee shops! I was a tad bit skeptical about Amsterdam, I deemed it as the party city at the end of our trip filled with space cakes and half naked ladies trying to entice us under those red lights. I was excited to see what was normal for them and taboo for us but also thought this was all I'd see. I was wrong, so wrong! Amsterdam actually became one of my favorite cities. We spent a day riding bikes around the city and discovered beautiful canals, bicycles everywhere and a very family oriented, low key city. We were able to visit the Anne Frank house which was very humbling and see the beautiful paintings of Van Gogh. I did not take too many photos because I was too busy zooming by on a bike, but Amsterdam is definitely a place I want to go back and visit again one day.
