My New Wood Floors

Here is a picture of the new wood floors I just had put in. I love them!!!! I don't think I will EVER have carpet again. They look classy, are easier to clean.

I was out-back taking pictures of the sunset (like you see below), and my youngest son would not stop asking me, "What are you taking a picture of?" He just didn't understand that mom wanted to snap photos of nothing but sky and trees, it made no logical sense to him. So as he says, "But mommy... you should take pictures of people...", I snapped this one of him and then stated, "There... I took a picture of a 'people', happy now?" He laughed and ran off to play with his brother. Ahhhhh children.

My Backyard

This is a view from my backyard as the sun sets. I love the country for THIS reason.

Makeover

My niece LOVES makeup. She is always getting into my sister's makeup bag and opening her mascara and putting it on. This is one of the many pictures I have of her after she has made herslef up. The best though... was when she painted her face and her toy ducky's face. Talk about priceless!

The "OTHER" Twin

This is the other twin. While the first one was puking on my sister's new suede couch... this one was giggling away in her bouncer. See... I told you they were cute little nuggets.

SPIT HAPPENS!

So my sister calls me... asks if I want to watch the twins. I reply, "OF COURSE!” (They are the cutest little nuggets you ever-did-see.) Anyhoo, after I got to her house, I went to pick up the twin on the couch... but when I picked her up... there were goober strings on her head leading to the couch. She had just goober-vomited all over the couch. I was laughing so hard, I had to take a picture. I just couldn't believe the amount of phlegm-vomit that this little cuss could produce! Too bad the strings disconnected at the time we rolled her over for the picture... that would have been awesome blackmail photos for her when she starts dating.

Ring Pops

This is what happens when you give Grandpa a ring pop. I am laughing too hard to type anything witty.

G.Q. Modeling

I made some T-Shirts for my college and wanted to market them... so I asked my brothers to model the T-Shirts for me so I could use the pictures to sell them. I said, "Pose like you are having fun... and are cool, tough guys". This was the outcome. You can click on the picture to get a bigger version. Aren't they Deeeeaaaadddd Seeeexxxyyy? NOT! ha ha ha ha
Thanks for posing anyhoo boys! =-]

And yet ANOTHER picture I made from my O.C.D. of the Phantom. Mmmmmmm, honey sweet nectar!!!

I created this in photoshop after I became TOTALY obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera and Gerard Butler.

A Flip, Sort Of

My youngest son has struggled with flips on the trampoline (A.K.A summersaults). He would always put his head down and bump his tuckus in the air and then fall back down again. After 30 tries one day I happened to catch him when he FINALLY went over.

Bright Light, Bright Light

It was only 40 degrees outside... but the kids were CRAVING summer. So, when the sun came out we went oustside to play. It was still freezing cold! I snapped a picture of my youngest... and thought it looked cute. So here... look at it. =-]

Chalk & Snot DO NOT Mix

My son... along with all the other children... decided to take the sidewalk chalk and draw on their faces instead of the sidewalk. However, my son had one other element that made his "face painting" unique. I am sure you can see for yourself what that happens to be. I like to call this the Booger'stache

Freeeeeeeeeeee

I love this picture. I snapped it last fall when my kids and my sister's kids were outside throwing leaves all around. It reminded me of my care-free-childhood days. I didn't worry about bills, or insurance, or car problems... I spent my time worrying if I had enough cranberries to nail the neighborhood boys with. I was more concerned with the water pressure coming from the front yard hose... so I could win the neighborhood waterfight. Ahhhhhh... those were the days. Time to snap back to reality and start stripping the wallpaper and painting the siding on the house.

In All Fairness

Ok... that last picture did not do my brother justice, so I decided to post a nice one. Granted, this is a 2 year old picture and he is even cuter now. But this gives you a good idea. And Ladies... HE'S SINGLE!!!
... you can kill me now Bro =-]

This is what happens when you...

My brothers love to experiment with their cameras. This is what happens when you shake your head back and forth as fast as you can... and then snap a picture. I know... I know... it looks like I have a brother who wears head-gear and rides the short bus to school. But that is not the case... he is completely normal... well... except for that excessive drooling problem of his and that nasty contagious rash.
Jusssssst Kidddddding =-]
