Friday Flashback/Guest Blogging Backfire



Ok, this picture is one of my most favoritest of little E when she was a baby gul. She started the whole OBSESSION with horses when she was like, born, I guess. She could always make a horse sound that sounded more like horses than horses themselves. So, here she is riding one of her first. Enjoy.


Here is T-Bone at Grandma Red's house...playing in the laundry basket. The smile that melts me. :) Mommy's baby boy. Still is. :)




So...Mom and Dad were here this week to help with the kids. We had so much fun! I was checking the blogs (I try to self-regulate...I REALLY don't have a problem with my blog checking...really.) and so I wanted to show something funny to Mom on one of them. I said innocently, "hey ma, do you want to guest blog?" She innocently responds, "well sure, honey...what shall I blog about?" I gave a few suggestions, showed her where my pictures were stored, and went on my merry little way. Much to my chagrin, upon returning to check out her comments, I saw the bait she so cleverly laid in the trap for y'all to discover my ever so brilliant mental capacity. So, I will fess up...here goes.


1) When mom was bathing one day when I came in to go potty. I was really little and had commented on her "wings". I wanted to know when I would get my "wings". Unsure about my question, she determined I was talking about breasts. Yup. Couldn't wait to get 'em, and now I wish I didn't have 'em. Funny. Just like when you fly for the first time...by golly I EARNED my wings. :)


2) Stupid Couple Poster Children - Jason and I were on a long road trip to Colorado a LONG time ago...so I was still a stupid kid (twentysomething), and it had started to rain. The frigging windshield wipers were squeaking incessantly. Like, let me see if I can roll up the window on my windpipe, stop my breathing so that SOUND WILL STOP...squeaking. We sound like we are similar to Leanna and Jeff on road trips. (someone mentioned the let's say, tension, when they road trip together...I feel your pain, sista.) Anyway, we were getting desperate for that sound to stop, so yep, you guessed 'er, we smeared 10-30 on them. Worked like a charm, the squeaking stopped. See, we're brilliant. (Nope, not even going to mention the whole visibility factor. Nope. I refuse.) HA! Gotcha Mom!!!


Ok, so for sweet, sweet revenge...here are some topics you all feel free to email Mom about:


- What does SHATOOT mean?

- When you are hungry, what food items do you see in snowbanks?

- Is it fun to take care of 500 baby chicks?


:) (evil laugh) Aaahaaaahaaahaaa!!!!!!!!

OMGsh, your kids are so stinkin cute, I just want to pop their heads off and keep em. Or eat their faces off. Either way, they look so sweet I'm getting a stomach ache.

Thank you for clearing up the 'wings' thing. I was so confused! Great story, though. And your kids are so stinkin' cute! I don't know that I'd go as far as popping their heads off, though. That's just crazy.

Ok Sha_toot is a good cuss word when all your grandkids are around ,& A spider crawls up your arm--------------
The turkey thing, I was in the car with Lyle, Sam and Andy of course I was alittle delusional.

And 500 baby chicks are managable, when your only 10.

Feelin the love, my sista. However, just love them from afar, ok? I like their little heads and faces attached to their little bodies. Also, I like little Grant's eyes still hooked in his eyesockets, too. You kill me. :)
