Happy Birthday TayTay!

My first-born, original princess is officially an adult, though she will always be my baby.

Happy Birthday TayTay!

Tay is college bound

Yay!! So proud of Taylah and all of the college acceptance letters she has been receiving. After touring a few of the campuses, she has committed to San Diego State University. Go Aztecs!

Angels Opening Day 2013

The Angels go bananas over the winter and follow up the Pujols signing by acquiring Josh 'Freakin' Hamilton. This lineup is ridiculous and my wish is that they can at least win the division this year.

Go Halos!

My work

With the help of my team, we've designed and built this computer imaging department. We have the capacity to image 220 computers at one time. We've only been tasked to employ every node a total of 3 days. Typically, we run 124 laptops at once at a rate of approximately 450-530 a day.

Homecoming Princess 2011

Taylah was nominated Homecoming Princess for her Junior year at Loara High. She was surprised at the nomination, but most of us were not. When she told her Mom and I that she was gonna have her brother walk her on to the field, we nearly lost it. It was a gesture that made us very happy and proud. My daughter is a beautiful young lady and we expect many other great accomplishments from her.

She's Here!

Daniella Victoria Padilla-Kukreja arrived on earth and landed in our hearts on Sunday September 18th at 1:38am. At 7lbs 9oz and 20", Mom and baby are outstanding. I'm humbled and blessed to have this new addition to our family and we look forward to all the joy she will bring.

She's Here!

The tragic quake and resulting tsunami in Japan has shown how fragile and insignificant we all are in the face of nature. This video, which contains only images from Nasa and the Cassini probe, shows the beauty of our solar system and also reaffirms how we are just a drop in the ocean...
