these are seriously out of order..but meet Phil...hubby of my beautician queen, Michelle (see below) He is one of the nicest dudes you will meet...looks can be deceiving for sure!
Piper's First Christmas Program Performance...kinda like playing Where's Waldo..but she is somewhere in the front! if you can find her, I will give you a sticker. :) look at all those crazy parents...rudey dudey's

Levi and Mollster sniffing salsa fragrances wafting from Donna's kitchen

Wednesday's snow...we got more today! I'm over it.
Lovely Michelle (wife of Phil...guy in first pic) working her magic...or at least trying to...she rocks!! ROCKS I TELL YA! she does the best she can on this peanut head.
Becky being beautified! as if SHE needs any help!
Phil as the Heisman trophy...Nora being the football...one of the perks of being laid back...people do crazy things with you and to you!! she's a good "sport"...haa haa
Phil and Michelle have such a cute house...we get our hair rinsed in her cool sink, just like the ol' days...this is beck gettin rinsed...thought it was a funny pic as she struggled with soap and water in her eyes. I'm still a mean ol' big sister. Dontcha love Michelle's hair? I'll call her POSH Spice!

Ok, so this is a really, really rambly post and I apologize!! I have not been able to post for the past few days, either due to my Kodak software not cooperating or the Google blogger not allowing me to upload pix...sooooooooooo, sorry!

These pix are all out of order as well. I need to learn how to upload them the right way..but I had so many I wanted to post. Beck and I got our hair done with our good friend, Michelle. We used to go to church with her...and I have a really funny ol' pic of her giving me a perm in our townhouse back in 1992...I will have to dig that out! it's classic. Well, she is an instructor at a local beauty college and gets done at 10 p.m. hence, we don't get started till well after 10..it makes for a late night but it's always fun, esp. when her hubby gets home...he is a hoot! looks intimidating but the exact opposite actually! Big teddy bear!

Salsa...I am hoping Santa will bring me a food processor for CHRISTmas so I can learn to make this salsa. Jill tackled it yesterday and Donna and I got to watch, learn, and chop with her! It was so fun..thanks Jill...it is soooooooooo good!!

We went to Pipes' first little Christmas ditty last night...it was cute (what I saw of it anyway)...parents of other kids really crack me up...standing up in the aisles, paying no regard for the folks behind them...I gave up and saw her for a second up there but it was mayhem in my section. Parents, please be thoughtful!! Your fathers were not glassblowers!

On another note, it was quite funny (as it always is to Beck and I) to watch people check me out and say HI, only to be ignored because they think I'm Beck and I don't answer to her name (but I do when my mom calls me Beck)...It amazes us the way peeps think we look alike, or ask us if we are twins! hee hee. Someone told us that as we've gotten older, we've begun to look more alike...not so much as kids. I guess that is very true.

I have a lot of stuff to do today, as Beck, Mom and I are goin CHRISTmas shopping tonight..so I'd better get productive! Hope you all have a lovely, snowy Friday and a very productive one at that!

More Thanksgiving fun...

little female versions of their dads...though much prettier
The two whiteys
Nora didn't want to show us her profile for some reason!! rebel!

Piper in the dress Mel wore in Beck and Scott's wedding...she's such a princess!!
Yo big lady in the busy shirt!! funny huh? they are so adorable. The girls are cute too!
what did our family do before this chubby girl appeared?
I can't get over how much Nora looks like her pa!

Mom, Tom, I'm so sorry that I didn't manage to get a pic of you yesterday. I only ended up in one so I'm right behind you!

These are a few of the pix that are left from our day yesterday. I think I'm done blogging for the day, as my house is calling me as well as the Christmas decorations. Levi keeps asking me when we are going to have our "Srismas" party today...poor kid, has no concept that he has to wait another month till he gets presents. the wait is ON! Hope your Black Friday is being well spent. Over and out!

Sweet dreams, new chairs, new kicks and past Thanksgiving memories from 2004!

sweet little angel!
our new chair...
My new kix
Piper's First Thanksgiving
2004 - o how times have changed...
Hello there...sorry about the day off (Beck)! Computer went all fritzy last night so I didn't get to blog.
I will keep this short. Don't ya just love sleeping babies? Molly is an especially sweet one...she'll get that head rubbing back and forth and so you can see why she would have such a nice little bald spot on the back of her skull...all of my kids have had one...no, I don't leave them lying around on their backs all day. We got a new chair for our living room today. I think I'm on the up and up of changing my tastes...this chair matches really nothing at our place but I will change my stuff piece by piece. It has an ottoman that goes with it but we will get it later...
Do you like my new running/walking shoes? got 'em at DSW today and had to have 'em. They are so unique...coral and brownish...with this neat material. can't quite describe it. so I won't.
last two pix are obviously old. i put 'em on here for you B, well the Pipes one anyway. She was so tiny and innocent at one point!! now she's a little tow-headed priss! Our family pic is mainly to remind me of the upcoming joy...taking the annual fam card pic. can't wait! just can't wait. we will have a new little person to keep entertained in it this year. get your clicking finger ready, Beck!
Ok, well hope this finds you all well, healthy and preparing for a joyous and grateful Thanksgiving! I will be back that day or so...gotta post Drumstick Dash pix...chow folks.

Some serious randomness going on here...

my "infamous" missing tooth...this was last Thanksgiving...when I was suffering from some killer morning sickness...so glad to be over that this year...Beck, this is supposed to make you laff, that I would even consider putting this HORRIBLE picture of myself on my blog...ick. bleck. ew.
here's little Miss P in the Strawberry hat...it is so huge on Nora's head (she had it on at Target tonight...)
Just a few more Levi blasts from the past...whatta cute little guy he was.
Levi was so chubbalicious.

There is no method to the madness that is this post. I was just browsing through my pic folders on my computer and thought these little goodies were kinda funny. I have another funny, random pic I'm trying to find to embarrass my husband..but I will keep looking. hee hee. evil laugh. peace...
