Do you remember?

I've recently been in touch with one of my BFF's from high school. We lost touch many, many years ago and found each other through classmates.com. (yes, classmates.com really does work!) It's been fun reminiscing about the past and remembering our love for the one and only PeeWee Herman. Mary - I'm looking forward to many more conversations and meeting your family!

Ahhh...the green dart ... we were soooo cool in that car!

Quick! climb up on that counter before the teacher comes back!

Mr Santa Claus was very excited to have two teenage girls sitting on his lap. (hey, watch those hands Santa!)

I SAID Smile

Amanda played PowderPuff football this past week. The Senior girls challenge the Junior girls to a game of flag football the day before Homecoming. I was attemting to take some pictures prior to the game. The conversation went something like this...


Me - Hey, Manda... I want to take some pictures for your scrapbook
Amanda - Oh, come on Mom...do you REALLY have too
Me - YES
Amanda - Whatever
Me - Ok, Smile

Amanda smiled but just as the camera flashes ... she does this....
Me - Very cute...now smile
Me - Ok, not a crazy man smile...just a normal smile
Me - OK ENOUGH...please smile... (At this point Eric and Jessica are laughing so hard they are crying)
Me with a disgusted voice - Just turn around so I can get a picture of your shirt This is the best picture I took at the game. Not sure why but most pictures turned out blurry. Still not used to the settings on my new camera. She's the one in the middle with her hands on her knees. She was a little disappointed because the juniors lost .. but she had fun learning to play football.

Start your Engines!

Indoor Kart racing...What a rush! I think I'm hooked... a little pricey but worth the $$
