Random Old Pictures

My parent recently gave me a bunch of pictures of yours truly. I was motivated to scan them in since I saw all the posts about "Where I came from." I LOVE pictures. Old and new. This first picture below is the only one I have of Nick...that I had in my possession anyhow. I'm sure he has more stashed somewhere.

Nick when he was 2, look at that blond hair! I think Taylor has his eyes. They are the exact same color of blue too.

and lots of me....

Can you say HUGE eyes? lol

See I was chubby, for those who don't believe me.

Kim, Mom, me and Mick

Do I have acorns in my cheeks?

1st Grade Sunday School Picture...love the band aid on my knee

Kim, me and Mick

This one is hard to see but look at that strawberry birthmark on my forehead. Glad I lost that!

Waiting for the school bus.

Being spoiled at Grammies.

Me and Socksie...snoozing.

A bikini!

With Kim and Mick...Look at that ancient walker.

After kindergarten graduation

Maybe Taylor's cheeks did come from me?

Luke's Blues

Those blues even glow in the dark. :)

Totes and Cute Stuff

I had someone ask where I got the monogrammed totes for Luke and Taylor. They were given to us as a gift by one of my husbands clients. She sells them and if you're interested, they make some really cute stuff.

Her email is KristaYoung31@verizon.net

Remembering Uncle Milton

My Uncle Milton passed away this morning. He was 84 years young and was a hard working farmer. Today, I've been thinking back to my memories of him. As a kid I adored my Uncle Milkin. That's what I called him. Every Sunday night our family would gather at my grandparents house and Uncle Milkin always sat in the same spot. He always sat on the step in front of the door that led upstairs. I'm not sure exactly what he did to win me over. But I always wanted to sit on his lap. He never said much but he didn't have to. I always felt comfortable around him. The men of the family did't get much of a word in edgewise in the large scheme of things. :) I remember my Dad and him talking softly and taking it all in as my aunts all laughed to extreme loud and high pitched decibels. :) Keep my Aunt Marie and cousins in your prayers over the next few days. Thanks.

Wordless Wednesday Taylor

Wordless Wednesday Luke

Not Me Monday

This is my first Not Me Monday...thought I'd give it a try. Click on the graphic below to see what it's about.


I most certainly did not eat Taco Bell AND McD's yesterday. And I definitely did not eat Taco Bell leftovers today for lunch. That would be just be gross. lol
I did not find Luke with an entire arm out of his sleeper the other morning. (I guess he was having a toga party and didn't invite anyone) lol He wasn't tickled with himself either and hasn't been pulling that arm out ever since.

I most certainly did not go into the nursery 3 times last night when Taylor dropped her pacifier out of the crib. Nope. not me, I always let her cry it out and soothe herself back to sleep. I never just want to quiet her so I can sleep.


Luke and Taylor certainly did not act up in church yesterday. Luke was not making high pitched "AHH" noises and fart noises and Taylor did not make grunting noises in which everyone thought she was pooping when she just likes to make the sound. She wasn't fighting sleep and wiggling all over the place. All four of us would never have to watch Jeremy's sermon on the TV in the downstairs room of the church. Nah not us.
I didn't spill an entire container of blueberries as I was emptying my grocery cart at check out, have to run to the back of the store to get another while three employees clean up. Those stinking blueberries did not spill in the bag on the way home and weren't packaged with my canned goods. That wasn't a mess.
I didn't forget to use the Target gift card that I took to the store specifically to use.
I don't have a bunch of jarred peaches because the smell of them makes me gag. What I feed the babies has nothing to do with what I like the smell of. lol
My thighs are definitely not sore from cleaning out our filing cabinet. lol

We do not have a huge desk on our front porch until Nick has someone help him move it. That would be an eye sore and we might be red necks if we have furniture other than patio furniture on our porch. (least it's not a toilet) lol
