Big Hair

Okay, so on SIStv, there was challenge to change our profile pics/avatars to show our hair so jacked up it needs to be drug tested for steroid use! Well, I'm home sick today and must be pretty foggy from cold meds cause I cannot believe I am posting these, but here goes. While looking through some old pictures from high school and college (the 80's!) I came across some real goodies of myself. What WAS I thinking? Seriously, these are atrocious.

This was one from probably 10th grade, circa 1985. Me and a friend were "pretending" we were modeling. I've got the serious look going on. Oh, and this Gasoline denim jacket was one of my most prized possessions (thanks Mom for buying it for me!). it had zip out sleeves, so you could wear it as a vest too. I'm all about some versatile clothing! Dang I wish I was still that skinny.

I actually liked my hair here, it was a sprial perm with some highlights, but not too terribly big.

Okay this one is my Senior year, circa 1988, and I post this one only to show you just how tall my bangs could get at times! HelllllllOOOOO to some major hair spray. And don't you dig my black & white animal print? I was such a trendsetter! LOLNot real certain when this was, but probably somewhere from 88-90. It's just awful I think. This picture has gotten discolored, because my hair was never red! Not sure what's up with that. I never thought of myself as having a mullet, but this is pretty darn close to looking mullet-like...gross!

Okay, next we have freshman year of college 88-89 and this is a lot of hair I'm sporting. Notice the sexiness of the over the shoulder swooped look I've got. I know, it's pretty hot, but don't be a hater, k? Again my hair was not really red...weird how these old pics get discolored.

GAG me! <----yes that too is from the 80's!

vote please!!!!

This gorgeous chick is Brooke - my stepdaughter. She is with her hubs, Rob in several of these pics. She's model quality, don't you think???? Seriously, scroll down and check her out! Beautiful smile and great personality to boot.

Okay, this one is just funny! (sorry B)

Okay, I think we all agree that she is beautiful inside and out.

Now, I would very much appreciate if you would vote many many times for Brooke DeHaven to win this modeling search contest for a local (Little Rock) publication called Sync. You may click below and vote often...there is no registration or sign up required. She would be most appreciative and this would make her incredibly happy. :D :D :D :D

She truly deserves happiness!

my prend

Remember this post which included my daily blessing card about my prend! Well, here is my prend in her element.....Laughing:The reason for her fun laugh pictured here just simply cannot be stated in this forum.
However, I will state that when this woman is around we do a lot of laughing! :D

four wheels of fun

Just a pic to recap part of the weekend fun. Several of us went four wheeling and had a ball! It was cold & muddy, but completely fun!

Here is Alex and her new friend, Russell; along with Tracy and Charlie, aka Charles Peach.

Also in on the fun was Cody and Amy and James & I. Hope to do this again soon...perhaps when it's a wee bit warmer!!!

snow much fun!!

Amy, Alex, and I had fun playing in the snow today! I have not actually "played" in the snow in quite some time!

Amy had the most fun sledding on this old Plymouth car hood! She and I were the only ones who would brave it. Talk about rednecks...this has to be one of those You might be a redneck if....jokes. Who cares...we had fun - Redneck Fun.I love this one of Amy behind the truck...she was grinning from ear to ear. I was too until my hubs pulled me through a huge stream of water. :\




We picked up Erin and Sami Jo and strolled down the road for some kneeboard action. That was a blast!


Here is Alex taking a spin on the board.

Then we have Sami who had a hard time getting started, but finally got the hang of it.

Oh, here comes Sami now:

Hey Sam!!!

Oh no, there goes Sami.

Poor Sami.

Check out Alex and Tracy's ginormous icicles!!!!

All in all it was a great day of snow fun! Even these geese and ducks enjoyed their day:

Post 200

Nothing in particular to blog about - well, besides the massive amount of snow that has been dumped on us! (pictures to follow later)

I just wanted to this post to be special since it's my 200th! Wow, I cannot believe it, but happy 200th post to me and my blog!

I feel like I need a cake or something...wait, there's donuts, that'll work!

snow and prends

WOW, it is really piling up out there tonight and is supposed to continue through tomorrow. I am so wishing for Spring, but this snow is pretty cool AND I don't have to work tomorrow...hip hip hooray!!!!


I want to get out and play tomorrow. I have yet to do that this year and this will probably be the last opportunity for awhile. I want to get some good pictures and promise to post.


Speaking of posting. I have not been posting my daily blessings, but I am still doing them, well, daily! I will try to get a collage type picture and post them all at once. I do have one that I promised my "prend" I would post. I am so thankful for all my wonderful friends and family.

I am also thankful for my "Prends".

{you know who you are!!!} ;-)

Scrapjacked - Amy Lapi

Okay, I have not done the Scrapjacked challenge in AGES! This one was a good one and I had to do it.

I took this picture of Hadley and Kyle on February 23rd on our family bowling trip for Hadley's birthday.

We had a blast and I took lots of pictures (as usual). I love this one of my little brothers. They are each so different and unique and I'm proud of both of them.

I used some of my SIStv Boutique Style Phyle from February called Kitschy Kitschy Koo. It's a new fun & funky monthly kit that I signed up for. It has odds and ends - a lot of vintage-y stuff (like this smiley face playing card) and the ultra cool houndstooth gaffer tape. I cannot stress how much I love the Boutique and their wonderful customer service.

Winter to Spring to Winter

This weather has been so completely crazy! From Friday until Sunday I thought 'whoa baby! It's finally spring!"

Woke up today....HELLLOOOO SNOW! I don't have a clue how much we have but it's still falling and is so pretty. Another snow day, but I would trade it for 75 degrees and the sun again.

March One

I cannot express the giddy-ness I am feeling over this:

I think these are my favorite flowers. Not only are they pretty, but I love them mainly because when they come along it means Spring is not far behind! We've had two mild days and they just popped out. Love love love!
I know I'm jumping the gun here...I have been for quite awhile, but Spring is such a great time of year. Colors are vibrant and nature wakes up. I do hope that we don't have a huge deep freeze again this year after everything buds and blooms.

Spent the afternoon with Mom today on the farm...It was a great day and we rode the four wheeler around...me with the camera in tow.

I took several pics of us riding along. I love mom's earmuffs! SHe's been sick so I was glad she felt like getting out a little, but glad she bundled up a little. We look a little scary, but how attractive can you be flying along on a four wheeler!?



This was an interesting find. After we met up with my aunt, crossed the creek (where my socks and jeans got wet - thanks mom!) and rode around a little while, Kathi (my aunt) was telling me about tree that she thinks is an old Indian marking tree. After a search, we found the tree she remembered. Something about how the natives tied off the trees and they would grown sideways and then up. I took lots of pictures and want to try to find out a little more about this.
Upon closer inspection, some type of varmit evidently calls the tree home and is gathering twigs, feathers and other little items in a pile on the bend of the tree.

If you know any information on this Indian tree marking thing, please let me know. Thanks.
