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.

Chow Time

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.
