Hide your daughters!!!

Meet my nephew - Matteo: Handsome little fellow, future heart breaker, lover of kisses from his aunties and super smiley little lovie kissie face!

Meli, Me and Jason Aldean!

It was a GNO for Melissa and me and oh yeah, Jason Aldean came along for the ride!

After dancing like wild women for 3 hours, I can honestly say that we got our money's worth - although the people sitting behind us might disagree due to their obstructed view! It was a night filled with many laughs, some crazy loud singing, lots of head banging and moves that most people have never seen before! Looking forward to doing it again hopefully someday soon!

And, what exactly is TOKY???

Latest Fashion Trend???

Thursday Morning Fever...

For those of you who were wondering what a Thursday Morning Fever (not to be confused with Saturday Night Fever) looked like - here it is.

One extremely high energy kid who NEVER takes naps is currently wrapped in his Warriors/Boise State Broncos blankie and is out cold on the couch. Poor little T-Bone.

Finding Nini - Part 2

That is me in the front row on the far right. White outfit. Big bangs. Rubber bands holding up those knee socks! A very hot look!

Finding Nini...

This picture came across my facebook. I am SO loving the styles back then! This is my 4th grade class. See if you can find me! (You should be able to click on the picture to enlarge it!)

Rainbow Connection...

Sing with me (and Kermit the Frog)...

Why are there so many

Songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side

Rainbow's are visions

They're only illusions

And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some chose to believe it

But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it

The Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish

Would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star

Somebody thought of that

And someone believed it

And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing

That keeps us star gazing

What do we think we might see

Someday we'll find it

That Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep

And have you heard voices

I've heard them calling my name

Are these the sweet sounds

That called the young sailors

I think they're one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it

The Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me

6 Games, A Couple Trophies and One Giant Bleacher Butt!

After watching 6 basketball games, chewing off all of my fingernails and pretty much feeling like every last nerve had been shot - our basketball tournament came to a close!


In between bouts of coughing her head off, Madison was a force to be reckoned with on the court. In a couple of the most stressful games I have ever watched, she, along with her teammates pulled off a one-point win in the first game. This sent her into the Championship round and into a battle that will not soon be forgotten. Our girls were able to hold on to the lead until the last few minutes when we ended up losing by 4 points. In my book, victory was still won by our girls. They played hard, played together and didn't let the fact that they were playing the spawn of Satan shake them. Ok - I am TOTALLY kidding about the Satan's spawn part, sort of. :)



After being activated as the only 2nd grader playing on a 4th/5th grade team - Markie and his boys played hard and strong but fell short on the scoreboard. They lost their first game which sent them into their next game battling for 3rd place. With a trophy at stake, our boys turned on the heat and pulled off a win!


After spending 9 hours in a gym watching 6 basketball games, I can honestly say that my butt has never been flatter - not a look I was going for but one that I ended up with anyways. Hopefully today things will return to their previous state of perfection. HAHAHAHA!!!!! Obviously, I am kidding here!
