mom and the kids

I’ve always loved this photo of my mom sitting on the couch cuddling with her grandchildren. Can you believe this was eleven years ago? Also, I never noticed it before but both of my silly kids have the same look on their face!

If I’ve shared this photo before, I’m sorry — too lazy to sort through old posts to see Happy . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – Cuddling with Grandma

Tyson Any'tizers

I’m going to admit this right up front, I could care less about watching football, or any sport for that matter, on the tube.

project365 week 4

We had quite the week. I had to remind myself several times to take pictures and somehow Thursday blew right by without my brain remembering to take a single one. No pictures on either one of my cameras, none on Pie’s, none on Mr.T’s none any any of the phones… sigh. I have officially failed and the first month of the year isn’t . . . → Read More: #Project365 (366) – week number four

{almost} Wordless Wednesday - slightly plump baby

I was a fat Baby

I have had a fairly uneventful week which means have absolutely no good photos to share for WW! As I was aimlessly searching, I ran across a baby pic of me. I was a chubby baby.

And let’s face it, a kind of an ugly baby. My mom says to blame it on my dad and chocolate pudding… Umm, I don’t think . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – slightly plump baby
