family pictures

Its a miracle that Stetson was still long enough to take these pictures--he was all OVER the place in that studio. Too many things to see, climb onto, touch, etc.


This is the one we ordered--We were hoping Stetson would look a little happier in this one, but we'll take it. :)
I had an awesome bday--thanks to everyone who made it special for me. Michael sarinaded me this morning with the happy birthday song in 15 different keys, not on purpose, just because he can't carry a tune in a bucket, but thats why I love him so much, then dad called, then travy (my nephew) called with my 2nd bday song (nice singing Mike, Rachel & Trav and whoever else was in the car), then todd called, then shay, then Morgy (he sang my 3rd bday song) then off to Cheyanne for family pics then Olive Garden (Jan called while we were in Cheyanne). We SPLURGED at Olive Garden--we got an appetizer, our regular meals AND dessert (gelato chocolate icecream with chunks of chocolate and caramel). Yikes And my mom called a little bit ago and reminded me that I was her favorite mother's day present (Todd is a close second) JK!!!!! I have to say though, what made my birthday really special was spending the day with the ones I love (Michael and Stetson). I am one lucky chick to have such a good husband and beautiful baby boy.

25 years ago today...

...my big brother, Todd had his last birthday, because he was born on May 8th too, and after I came along, word has it that he didn't get much of a birthday. I remember one year for my birthday my parents let me invite pretty much everyone I knew to Mayette Swim center (swimming pool in Santa Rosa) and looking back years later, I wonder, where was Todd? Did he have his own bday bash that night? We joke now that Todd never had a birthday once I came along. Anyway, luckily he's in Cowley today and I'm hundreds of miles away in Laramie, where I can't steal his thunder. :) ***DISCLAIMER*****Dad wanted me to be sure to include the fact that he didn't LET me invite everyone I knew, I just did w/out their permission and it was too late once they all showed up! Whoops

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD!!!!! The greatest thing about sharing a bday with you, is I'll always be turning a smaller number than you!

Shout out to Syesha

I got my hair cut today. I was planning on just getting a trim and some "swoopy" bangs (only girls who read this will know what that means) but the lady talked me into doing something a little more drastic (she said it would look great on my face shape and would look "striking"--we'll see about that). Its pretty short now. She called it a "bob stack" so its longer in the front and then a-line to the back. I'll post some pics of it tomorrow maybe.

And I just have to get one more thing out--I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad that Syesha is the last girl left on American Idol. I didn't get to see her sing tonight because I was at the half acre (thats the gym in Laramie for my non-Laramie friends). I was always disappointed when she was in the bottom 3 all those times, because I think she's a better vocalist by FAR than Brooke White, not Carly, she's pretty good, but I always thought Syesha was top knotch. AND, why is everyone so ga ga goo over Archuleta? He can sing for sure, but he's not that amazing. O.K. That's all. Oh, and why is it that Syesha's hair looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket but she looks drop-dead gorgeous?
