the wagdog frosh

Last week I took Jacquie to college.

She is starting her new life as a student of higher education. She has a new room, a new bed, a new pillow (named Sully), new books. She lives in a new place, a new town, a new state.

She is making new friends.

Here is Jacquie with a new friend. In college you must surround yourself with intelligence. Reading with smart guys is the best.

Best college advice:

Only kiss smart guys too.

The beach!

We had a great time at the beach.

Riley loves the sand.

The girls love the water.

and they love posing for pictures :)

Vacations always end too soon.

More from The Happiest Place on Earth!

I'm all ready to go back!! I love Disneyland!

Disneyland :D

One day of our wonderful vacation was spent at Disneyland!! Earlier this year we made blankets for Project Linus which earned us FREE Disneyland tickets! We had a great time.

Crystal Cove

We are enjoying ourselves at the beach this week. Today's post photos are compliments of the photographers RissaWag and Andee-Bee. Perhaps you've heard of them...

The above photograph is one of my favorites (by Rissa).

I love the light.

Here is the lovely California coastline.

Riley.

Need I say more?

Riley, Rissa, and Jim.

Andee.

Such a cutie.

I hope you enjoy the next few posts...

We are certainly enjoying our time on vacation. It is much needed after the long school year.

A little Darth Vader to start the morning...

We are on a little vacation. :)

Vacation = Shopping (duh! for those of you who don't know me well- haha)

Just down the road is a lovely little shopping center.

We dropped into a lovely little store called Williams-Sonoma.

Ever heard of it?

Well, we saw these little pancake molds. We are, in fact, very fond of Star Wars. So, we had to splurge to get them. I couldn't wait to try them out.

Here is my cute little darth. Isn't he adorable?

We didn't have any pam or a nice flat griddle, so it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. So, we didn't try out Yoda! I was a little disappointed. The kitchen at the time share doesn't have a griddle. (I am so going to recommend they get those!) The pan we have isn't big enough for Yoda's ears.

Bummer. I know!!

I'm so in love with these molds. They had cookie cutters too. But I thought they were way too small. We decided that the pancake molds will work well for sugar cookies too. I'm sure we'll be trying that as soon as we get back home.

The Wagner reunion is just around the corner. I sense a Star Wars movie night with some great pancakes and cookies.
Andrea loved them.

Can't you tell?

A High School Graduate!

Here she comes... soon to be the latest Wagdog graduate!!
Riley, Andrea, Jacquie, & Marissa!

The 2010 CHS graduation was a success and Jacquie received the official diploma!! (not that we didn't expect that- lol)

Grandpa & Grandma Wagner came for the big event. We loved having them there. Graduation can be super long when your last name is close to the end of the alphabet. I laughed when Grandma said that maybe Grandpa's last name should have been Dagner instead of Wagner. :)

Very, very proud parents!

The family (minus Elder Wagner).

Don't you love how the wind is blowing our hair!! I think we look little movie star-ish!

Here are the Wagner kids with the adopted Wagner Teacher... MR. COLEMAN!! He is so glad that Riley heads to CHS this fall-- he wouldn't survive if there wasn't a Wagner at CHS.

Congratulations Jacquie! You were an awesome high school student. I know that you will love college just as much, if not more!
