Happy Anniversary Beth!

OK, I know we were married on July 7th, but 14 years ago tonight...a kiss at 12:00am 1/1/1995 was the start to something awesome! Considering we had only really spoke once before this, it's amazing how comfortable we were together. Every New Years Eve since has been like our own little anniversary. Thanks for tagging along with Cory that night to some lame party with his buddies...ended up being the best party ever! Love ya...

So glad we have this picture...

Happy New Years Eve everyone!

Xmas Eve

I thought it was time to get my picture off of the top post. Seriously, we can get some laughs out of these people. All pictures and video courtesy of NOAH. You don't even want to know how many pictures and videos he took that night. Too funny.

Oh, wait I did actually take a picture.

This video cracks me up. Jane and Joe thought Noah was going to take their picture and he was just videotaping them. So they are posing the whole time. I laughed my ass off. Sorry, I'm easily amused.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY

It has been a lot of fun watching you grow from an infant through the awkward adolescent years, then on through adulthood and now the mother of 3 great boys. I was very happy to take the job as Godfather even though the pay was low, the rewards were many. I know that your 4 boys will give you a memorable birthday. Hope Drew is feeling better also. Have a great day and know that whenever you need me I will be there for you. Love you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends. We have had a great holiday and will continue tomorrow when we leave for Ohio to visit with Craig and Megan.

Love,

Tim, Jan, Alfie and Rocky

The Band's Reunion Tour

My boys are hard at work getting ready to hit the road on their new tour!!! It is so fun to sit in the living room listening to them belt out all their "hits". It is a hit for me just to have my boys at home playing nicely together again, and it is sweet that they let Joe play too! You gotta love their expressions....so serious. And YES, Adam is wearing his brother's clothes and his bags are still missing. He's written a 'very stern letter of complaint' to Delta Airlines.

Funniest Picture of All Time

Caption THIS........

This picture was taken by a professional company that takes photos during the Urbanathalon race in Chicago that Todd did in October with his friend Tom. They they email them to you to buy. We had to have a copy of this picture. Somehow this photographer managed to capture the most UNFLATTERING picture of Todd. We both laughed our butts off and I still can't look at this picture with a straight face. Not only does it look like he wet his pants, but it looks like he's packing a roll of silver dollars and doing the gangster swagger.

Grandpa, Aunt Riley, and Hailey

I love this picture that Deb took yesterday. The afghan that Hailey is holding, Aunt Cindy made for her. It is so pretty Cindy. Aunt Riley looks good for her age.

'Twas the night before Christmas 1972

Wrote by Jay

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the home.

Not a creature was stirring, except me and this poem;

The stockings were hung and so were the boys,

In hopes that St. Nicholas would bring hot wheel toys

The children were nestled all snug in real tight,

With visions of john peeing on them during the night;

And mom with her beer, and dad taking a nap,

I went ouside, put on my 3rd grader cap,

When out on the lawn I tripped over the ladder,

tubby tushaus yelled out....what was the matter?

Away to the alley I flew like a flash,

jumped into the trash pit on top of the ash.

The moon on the lens of my new coke bottle glasses

Gave away my hiding place on top of the ashes,

When, what to my wondering eyes should behold,

But john taking out klinkers, As in stories of old

With a little young driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be rollo and rick.

More rapid than eagles his nova they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Dunkeer! now, steine! now, olps and

now! bickhaus!

On, joey! on jeffy! on, whoever that is coming

out of our house.

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall

Now dash away! Dash away,

cause I think stegemans' just

called the cops.!"

DEATH OF A SANTA

Have the kids leave the room, the pictures are far to graphic for young eyes.

The Quincy Police reported this morning that the ice storm has claimed its first victim. A Santa Claus in the 18th and Spring area. They are not releasing many details about this so called "accidental death" only to say that the homeowner was NOT to blame. The homeowner tried to breath live in to Santa's lifeless body but it was already to late. Santa's lights are on but nobody is home running the blower. It was thought that Santa was trying a new version of cryogenics but we may have to wait until spring to see if Santa can pull that one off.

Happy Birthday Joe

Happy Birthday to my sweet Joe. Thanks for all you do for me and for our family. Try hard tonight to keep your eyes open with all the OT you're working. Not too many people really know the real you...but I'm glad I'm one of the lucky few. Thanks for taking such good care of me this weekend...I really needed you and you made me feel better......that and Jane's perscription pad :-) I hope your birthday is FILLED with the one thing you need most....SLEEP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN

Hope you have a great birthday even though you are probably working hard today. Try to take a little time to be good to yourself.

Handsome Devil

I was having one of my A.D.D. days and somehow ended up going through old boxes in the storage room with Todd instead of getting my Mary Kay stuff ready for my open house tomorrow. There were about 5 other things in between. Needless to say, the stuff I want to get done isn't done but a lot of other stuff is.

Anyway, there I go again. The picture.....I don't know how I got lucky enough to have this picture in my possession but I found this in an old picture frame with some other old pictures when I was going through my box of picture frames. (yes I had two boxes with nothing but old picture frames with old pictures in them.) Not only is Grandpa a handsome dude in this picture but I love how he signed it Love, Ed in the bottom corner. I love this picture. I have a couple others that I will scan in later.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH

I am sure that little angel will help make it a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This just in.....

We have an update on the ol' weddin' front. We've moved our date up & Danny & I are now getting married on December 19th. It's not because of a bun in the oven or anything like that, so nobody get excited. We just feel this is the best decision for us as a family. We are so excited, and I can hardly contain myself! We are still planning on having a bbq back home once the weather is nice again, so we can't wait to celebrate with all of you then! Love you guys!
