IME Staff - Family Fun Night

Most of you know I'm not above crashing a party or two (or ten) and this family fun night was no different.  I've mentioned before that my mom is an elementary school principal in a nearby town.  She, occasionally, has really cool get-togethers for her staff and their families.  I figure since I'm a member of her family, I should be able to attend, right?

Well, not to worry, I'd say 90% of her staff are clients of mine...meaning they want me there so they don't have to take pictures themselves.  Nice.

They all assume I'll be bringing the camera - and usually, I do...okay, well, I always do.  They know this, which is why I'm posting these shots (so they'll quit driving me crazy!).

So, even though these pictures really stink, I'm posting a few here for them to see.  Please ignore the nasty coloring due to the lovely fluorescent lighting in the gym.

egg races

Take a look at Wes over on the right edge of the photos.  He's wondering what the heck they're doing with those eggs and in the process is walking right in front and between the racing kiddos.  Funny.




sack races coming to a crashing hault

Is it?  Could it be?  Grandma?  I guess Ty is directing hiney race traffic!




Ty didn't want to participate, but Grandma shoved him in a sack anyway.  Good for her!


Look who else has been shoved in a bag!

Meet Jaxon - he's about 6 weeks younger than Wes, but about 3 sizes bigger!  I call him Moose!

and then, there's Hunter...he wants to be a photographer!

He followed me around all night trying to take my camera away!

Okay, that's all for now folks!  I'll upload all of them to an online gallery and you guys can peruse to your hearts content!

Have a happy Tuesday!

A little less talk and a lot more action

So...I heard this on the way home late last night.

Strange how a song can bring so many memories rushing back.  I was driving along, this song comes on the radio and I'm immediately transported back to my college days.  I spent way too many a night out at a place called Tumbleweeds (we called it "the weed") line dancing to this song.  Seriously!  Me, line dancing...

Tinkle Tube

Seriously.

I had to share because that's just the kind of momma I am.  I mean, I couldn't let a perfectly good laugh pass you all by.

I was surfing the net this morning and stumbled upon this site -  which was really cute.  AND then, I saw this...

So, how many of you would actually use this for your little guy?  I have to say, I have used a cup before and it was a bit messy (it was a long trip people!).  I got a good laugh from this and then it got me to thinking....
