Alex, Jonathan and Julia show off their arms on Nov. 13 in support of To Write Love on Her Arms, this organization that Julia likes that helps people with depression.

Taken on my iPhone- Andrew's youngest son, Gavin, shows off his mad Guitar Hero skills on Nov. 14.

My weekly Andrew photo starts up again. Andrew holds up an iPhone photo of himself on Sept. 15 at the Artistic Emmys, where he went to see a friend win an award.

My bedside table is messy on Sept. 16.

The waiter at Ventano's restaurant opens a bottle of Francis Ford Coppola's Zinfindel on Sept. 17. Julia turned 18!

We walked the Strip on Sept. 18 for Julia's birthday because she no longer has a curfew.

Samantha sits in one of her favorite spots in the loft on Sept. 19.

Samantha sits in her favorite spot in the whole house on Sept. 20... on top of Robert!

I almost forgot to take a photo on Aug. 26. Ha ha. So this is when I went to sleep that night, taken with my iPhone.

Robert always gets mad at me because I don't put my shoes away. Ha ha. Here's some of my shoes on Aug. 27.

Tina and Crystal taste test the sangria I made for Amie's bridal shower on Aug 28.

Jane and Anne share a laugh at Amie's bridal shower on Aug. 29.

Samantha plays in a roll of newspaper on Aug.30. I still have to give it to Andrew and my mom.

A light decorates Ricardo's on Aug. 31.

The kitchen of Robuchon, a nice restaurant we ate at on Sept. 1. I took this with my iPhone because I felt weird using my real camera, hence the bad quality.

Amie studies by a booklight on the drive up to Sacramento on Sept. 3. We went up there to see John Legend and India Arie in concert for Amie's bachelorette party.

Jane's cappuccino is ready to be enjoyed on Sept. 4. We had this at a cute little coffee shop called The Temple that Anna likes to frequent. There were so many alternatives to Starbucks.

Jane smells a flower on a beach in San Francisco on Sept. 5. We spent that Saturday in the city. Beaches in San Francisco aren't like San Diego beaches. It was chilly and windy, definitely not weather for laying out.

Amie holds up a strange vegetable I forgot the name of on Sept. 6. We visited a farmers market that Sunday. It was so big, and I bought a lot of food. It was all delicious. I wish we had something like that here, but we just don't have the variety of farms that California has, for obvious reasons.

Some of the grapes I bought at the farmers market dangle in my kitchen on Sept. 7. They were tasty grapes. Robert and I enjoyed a feast of fruits and cheeses I bought at the farmers market the night I came back.

Me trying to be artsy with my iPhone on Sept. 8. OK, it didn't work. Also, I was going to take my weekly photo of Andrew since Master Singers started up again, but we forgot.

Jonathan and Julia play Beatles Rockband. Robert bought the game for me. I love it. I can't wait for them to add more songs that can be downloaded for it.

I know I've taken a photo of my fans before, but this one was really cool. I took this on Sept. 10 with my iPhone. One thing that I can work with on the iPhone is that it doesn't really stop motion that well, so it can create cool effects like this.

Jane stands at the Las Vegas Farmers Market on Sept. 11 at Fremont East. This was literally half the farmers market. There were two vendors, both from California. We knew it wasn't going to be anything like Sacramento's, but I think we both expected a bit more than two vendors. It made me sad. I wish we could support something like this here, but we just can't.

Pepper howls along to a clip of a harmonica I found on YouTube on Sept. 12. It's so funny when she does it. At first I was worried it hurt her ears, but I read online that it doesn't. She's just trying to imitate the sound she's hearing. I bookmarked a couple clips she really reacted to so I can watch when I want.

A candle burns in Yard House in Town Square Las Vegas on Aug. 4.

Robert cuts up sausage for spaghetti on Aug. 5. I had to take a photo because it happens so rarely.

Jane prepares some delicious Arabic food at her house on Aug. 6. It was all delicious.

A boat slides down a water ride at Knott's Berry Farm on Aug. 8. Robert and I went with Julia and Alex for a road trip before she starts school in the fall.

Waves splash behind Julia in La Jolla on Aug. 9.

A seagull hangs out on Coronado Beach on Aug. 10.

Cafe Ba-ba-reeba, where I ate with my mom and stepdad for my birthday on Aug. 11.

BJ's Brewery on Aug. 12.

My friend Kristy gave me these pretty daisies for my birthday. Aug. 13.

My new MacBook Pro. It's so sleek looking. And so awesome. It's even faster just downloading things and going on the Internet.

Pepper gives Robert kisses on his face. Robert loves our dog.

A bartender works behind the bar at Elements Martini Bar and Kitchem on July 7. Elements is one of my new favorite restaurants. The menu is made up of dishes from the places around the world that the two owners have visited.

Julia and her boyfriend, Alex, pose for a photo at the bottom of the staris on July 8 in charcoal drawing format. The pose was Alex's idea. The photo drawing was mine, simply because none of the photos were in focus.

Amie and Jane smile for the camera after a girls night on July 9. We watched episodes of "Sex in the City," and I cooked the highly successful orzo stuffed peppers. A good time was had by all.

Flower candles on the coffee table on July 10.

Las Vegas is known for it's neon, and I have to admit, the neon looks cool at night. My sister, Julia, just got a job once more at Rave Motion Pictures this summer. I took this photo on June 10.

On Thursday, we took my step-dad to Capital Grille for his birthday. I'd never been there before. It had absolutely delicious steak, although it was definitely only for special events.

On June 12, we went to Super Summer Theater to see "The Buddy Holly Story." My friend Kaymen was in the ensemble. He's in the top row left, with his hands raised above his head. Kaymen is an absolutely awesome performer: a great singer, dancer and actor. Whenever he's on stage, he just glows, and the audience can't help but watch him. My friend Kerri joked that it was good that he didn't have a bigger role, or he would have stolen the show from the main characters.

I had such an interesting Saturday, but very few chances to take photos. This is a decorated palm tree in Ricardo's, where we ate dinner. We went there after a showing of "Thor at the Bus Stop," a movie made by some local filmmakers that was premiering at CineVegas. My friend Andy did the props for it, so we went to see his handiwork. The movie itself was quite funny and heartwarming. It was also awesome because it took place in Vegas, but it had absolutely nothing about the Strip. What a nice change. Andy tells me it will probably be a year before it's out on DVD. I plan on buying it and showing everyone I know.

I want to call this photo "New Life." I thought this plant had died, but I kept watering it, and it came back and started blooming again. I found these icky green worms on my tomato and pepper plants. I found out from some friends that they are bad. My mom helped me cut them off and drown them. I felt kind of bad killing them, but I wasn't sure what else to do. They were bad, and they were killing my plants.

The Most Rev. Joseph Pepe hands Julia her diploma after her name is called at her graduation on June 7.
