Who Knows?






I have a couple of pics of Sophie with Robert. In the one (without her pigtails), she reminds me of someone else. but, I do not know who that could be. However, in the one of her with her little "piggytails" our mother sees someone. I just see Sophie Lou. The one thing I do know is that she is a cute little stinker.


Sophie started Pre-School today and was so excited. She is attending Grace Lutheran. Her mom said she woke very early and asked if she could put her school clothes on NOW.


Now then, I do think that the older Sophie gets, the more she looks like Robert instead of Dana's dad. But, I also see the Facer features in her too. Go figure. I will just enjoy watching the changes. I do like to figure out features, but I don't care. She's Sophie, her own little person.


She had her physical before school started and her doctor told her she needs to eat more. She weighs 35 pounds and has for months. She's in the 40th percentile in height and the 10th in weight. She is tiny. Sadie on the other hand is in the 90th percentile in height. She wasn't weighed. She's tall and big boned like her Auntie Lissa though. Only she is taller than Melissa was at that age. She's wearing a bra too because "Im a big girl Grandma Sandy." It's scary knowing a 7 year old (almost 8) is already developing. That's just sick and wrong. I am putting the two photos of Sophie Lou up, and if anyone would like to check them out and see if you notice a similarity to somebody else, tell me. I am more interested in the one where her hair is down though. So, that's it for Mad Monday. Melissa please take pics of Loni and Nicky for her second day and his first at their new schools. TTFN

Margarita Day


I think I will take this opportunity to blame Melissa and Mike for my new bad habit. I'm not saying that they are to blame-----but I just want to blame them.

They took me out to Senor Iguanas for a belated birthday or Mother's Day lunch on a Saturday. That is when I learned that Saturday is Margarita Day there. I have now seen "Senor" two more times. I eat the food as well. It's tasty. However, for the small cost of $3.00 I get a large Margarita. Yummy! They make theirs stronger than any other place that I have gone. Because I love the taste of a good Margarita, I've had two of them each time I've visited. Man oh man do I get buzzed.

Today, for some reason, not only did I get buzzed, I got super tired. After sitting in the kitchen with everyone, I had little choice but to lie down for about an hour. All my energy was zapped, and my eyes were very, very heavy. I'm definitely a lightweight when it comes to alcoholic beverages. That suits me just fine. I feel fortunate knowing that alcohol is not a problem for me. I don't like the feeling I got today, and have wondered if maybe next time I should have just one. When I make the occasional drink at home, it is not as strong as those I get at Senor's. However, theirs taste much better. I just get to enjoy them without the hassle of blending and then cleaning the mess afterwards. But, I was sooooo tired. So, yes, next time I just might make one drink last through my entire meal.

I Have A Dream!!!




Don't you wish you knew what I might be dreaming? Well, that happens to be nunya......Anyway, I just thought I would sign it for a moment or two. I took a few pics of Chris and his family the other day. I am putting up a couple of those pics. I am thinking I wish I could photograph people etc. the way Rachel does, but I don't have the talent for that. Still, I am glad I can play with the ones I do take, and sometimes make them look a little nicer----sometimes I make them look worse. Shelayne said the same thing I was starting to say to her kids----don't smile. Sometimes I really just want them to look at me without those phony smiles.

Taylor has a set of the most beautiful eyes ever, and that baby, Nathan is so cute and so big now. Braden is handsome, and Dylan is cute. Honestly, there is just something about that Dylan that is so appealing. He's always been appealing to me. With his glasses, he looks so sweet. Chris has nice kids. Anyhoo, here they are for all the world to see. Enjoy! TTFN
