"mega-watt smile!!"

The braces came off yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe she had them on for 2 1/2 yrs.
She looks gorgeous (and so fit!) and was excited they are finally off. Now she wants the purple out of her hair. ha hahahahah........Always something!
And she turns 16 in a few weeks and wants a car.
So I said.................."hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, braces cost $5000............that would have been a nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She didn't find me very amusing.........

"the mystery has been solved!!!!"

The culprit was my SISTER!!!!!!!
I had a feeling it may have been her with the mystery package, but everytime I asked her she just didn't answer the question!!! She said it was fun messing with me!!! ahha......She finally had to fess up today. I flat out asked her again!!!!!! Thanks sista :)
And I believe no one is safe now that I have a scanner. This is Donna in 1987 as a senior at South Albany High School. Damn girl..............you were hot!!!!!!! (but why are you rolling around in a field? hahahhahaaa) Way more oldie pics to come. I've been going thru old pics and having hubs scan like crazy!!!

"cutest kids ever!!!"

8 years later.....Tyler, Gunner, Nicole, Drake..........Christmas Eve 2010Seriously......................the cutest kids ever.

Nicole, Gunner, Tyler and Drake.....................Christmas Eve 2002...... Scary that the two oldest ones are now old enough to DRIVE!!!! Where did the time go?

I was supposed to be cleaning up my room (like I tell my kids to do!) and found some old pics and got distracted and didn't get my room cleaned. ha haha

But I had the hubs scan a bunch of OLD pics for me. Can't wait to start posting them.

"I got a mystery package today........"

So I got a text from the hubby today that I got a box from American Greetings Photoworks? Ok......I didn't order any pictures...............Even though I need to from Christmas and that's on my to-do list! It's actually a cutting board with these fabulous pictures of my family!!!! So there is NO enclosure.
No note. Just says "3rd party billing"........
So obviously it's one of my awesome friends that reads my blog because I don't post new pics on facebook and I'm sure Nicole doesn't have any of her brother on her facebook page. So.........I determined someone took them off of my blog???????????
And how do I properly THANK the person if I don't know who it is??????
What a wonderful, thoughtful gift. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who ever sent it THANK YOU.......and if there was supposed to be an enclosure.....there wasn't! hahahahhahahaa
So nice to come home from work to such a lovely gift.......................thanks friend...........

"holy mother-of-purple..."

I guess when you are the daughter of a hair stylist you can choose that you want purple in your hair!
And you mother is willing to do it.
It's very VIOLET.... (she claims it's kinda blue). Photographs a little blue-ish. But trust me......it's purple!
Either way.............she can rock it! Very bold and edgy........
It's just the front not all over. And it was a lot of work....had to take out the red we put in it LAST time..........and a fresh hair cut....but I got to spend 3 hours with my daughter and we laughed alot.
She has been begging me for a month to do this. I finally had some time (well......not really, since we left the salon at 9:00 pm last night!) But if purple hair is the worst thing I have to worry about with my 15 year old...........I'm in pretty good shape! (and I'm praying it doesnt fade to an ugly ciolor in the next 2 weeks!)
