Ok, so I survived the 50 question drilling about all the personal details of my life. I called out Trevor, Shane, and Billy…so lets have it…post this survey on your site and lets hear about your every little secret!
The Top Secret Photos
Today is the day that I reaveal those pictures I have kept hidden and in secret my whole life…the yearbook photos. Today, you will see that I am older than I appear. Thanks to the Waxy One for stepping out there first and sharing his yearbook photos from yearbookyourself.com – Now you have the opportunity to see all of those wacky hair do’s the weight gains and the weight losses…its all here for your to indulge! Be sure to tell me which one you like the best 🙂
Family Pictures 2008
These are our first professional family pictures…ever! I think its the perfect timing now that we are complete with the 5 of us! The truth is, I refused to have my picture taken because I was self concious when I was 40 pounds over weight. If you saw most of our personal pictures, you would know why, but I also look angry in them because Nicki would catch me off guard and I would not be smiling. Click on the thumbnails below to see the full size picture, then click on that picture to see the whole thing (its complicated 🙂 ). We took several poses, but these are the one’s we puchased.
Conversations With a 5 Year Old
This is a special “Conversation With a 5 year Old” post. These are conversations straight from a 5 year olds heart and brain to his lips. Many times Gavin surprises us with his wisdom and knowledge and other times he melts our hearts with his his child-like innocence and purity, and then there are the embarassing times 🙂
Today I have two conversations to post about:
Conversation #1 Gavin on New Baby Sister…(Nicki is changing Hailey’s diaper)
Gavin: “Mommy!”
Nicki: “What?”
Gavin: “Hailey pee pees just normal…she doesn’t have a wee wee that sticks out when she pees.”
Nicki: “Oh!”
That would be the overly observant Gavin!
__________________________________________________________________________
Conversation #2 Gavin on his favorite and least favorite parts of the Hulk
Me: “So Gavin what was your favorite part of the movie (the Hulk)?
Gavin: “When the bad hulk came out!”
Me: “What was part of the movie did you NOT like?”
Gavin (Less Enthusiastically): “Well, um, I think the part I didn’t like was when that man and that lady started kissing!”
At least I know I don’t have to worry about any girlfriend talk as Gavin starts Kindergarten this year! He’ll be too busy acting like the Hulk beating up the bad Hulk and that is not a bad thing! 🙂
