Some kinks are still getting worked out. Please update your links/bookmarks :)

One of the nail polish incidences

So the Dream Cruise isn't until Saturday

and Woodward is already crazy. For example:




Here's the ugliest car I have ever seen...ready? I don't think you are. I will give you a minute to compose yourself...even the guy on the motorcycle wasn't ready for that kind of fugly.





Then there was this cool thing. Sorry it's leaning a bit. After seeing that ugly yellow thing I was dizzy and nauseaus



NOW this is what I will have my man harem being chauffeured in



Even the tow truck driver knows that thing means business!

It's been a while

Sorry Bets!

oh how I love toddler feet

This weekend she was a perfect angel. She didn't paint her entire body in nail polish and then yell "DAMN IT" she didn't climb the bookshelves and then scream for someone to save her. Why can't she be this good all the time??

Two rugrats who should never be trusted

Mr. The man did this to her...and she let him. This all happened while Drama laughed maniacally. Where was I you ask? Probably hiding in the backyard with some holy water and a crucifix.

if only he realized

she's only there for the sandwich....



Yeah I know the chair is a distraction...

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

My parents took the oldest two up north for the weekend....OMG I only have one child at home and it's a breeze. What the heck was I complaining about when I only had Drama to care for?!

I am horribly annoyed today

Let's start with yesterday, shall we?? I was supposed to go vote for a tax that would keep the Detroit Zoo open. The kids were so HORRIBLY bad that if this tax doesn't go through, it will be my fault. THEN I get the bright idea to do Jackie Warner's workout (sorry I don't feel like getting a link...google it)I did the lower body workout(let's face it, I have a big ass). Today I can barely move and my kids are back at their old tricks. I have a ton of pics on my computer but this new monitor is kinda wonk. So here's a pic. Please let me know if it's too dark or just too wonky for you.




notice the bruises on Stinkerbell's legs. It looks like we beat her but it's the opposite, the child climbs and falls off EVERYTHING!

I think Stinker has a stalker

This is the Groovy Girls red headed Reese




This is my red headed Reese....I think they ought to be sendin one of those bad boys this way!

he's pretty ruthless with that hose

I'm back

a lot sooner than expected too! I love this new computer...Joe rules...
here's some from last week

Got my new computer!!

it will be a few days before I am able to post again. Still getting things up and running.:)

Mr. The Man

While wrestling the hose away from Stinkerbell (yes with my camera in the other hand) I spotted Mr. The Man hiding out on the porch...I took the opportunity (playing on his fear of getting hosed down while still in his clothes...AS IF!) to get a few much needed shots...here's the best one

Good Morning!

I am rarely ever at the right place at the right time....So I am shocked I got these...granted they aren't perfect but I do love them.

On another note I am looking for a family photographer. The last time we had family pics taken was when mr. the man was 6 months old. Yes, terrible, I know...disgraceful even.
So any suggestions would rock!

PS working on the FIFTH ATTEMPT to get this picture posted...I hate blogger sometimes...SHELLIE what are you using?

Ok I give up...maybe it will work later :(

my computer is going down

First off, it takes forever to even do a simple task. Secondly, my cd burner is gone as in died as in kicked the bucket as in sleepin with the fishes, and I have a lot of stuff to back up. Thankfully I am almost done doing just that.
HOPEFULLY I will have my new computer next week. so here are some of Stinkerbell, aka I will get on your computer and bang on the keys until ALL of your programs have names like "xytklns" or "rrrrrrrr".

Oh Mz. Drama!

I am going back to shooting full manual. I've been in a funk so it's time to mix things up a bit.

I don't trust her and neither should you

For Leah

Sorry guys

I'm just not feeling it lately. So I am taking a break from photography and the blog for a bit.

I'm back!!!

Huge thanks to Kaci and Leah who kept things interesting while I was gone.
Texas is amazing! I had an awesome time and got to visit with some friends (really they are family) I don't have pictures up and running from the trip yet but I will this week!

Did you hear the one about the worm?

Hello all, me (Leah) again! It's the last day you're forced to suffer through my blogging as Jen should be arriving home today (tomorrow?)... At any rate, I thought I'd share these jokes in the interest of her recent pictorial discussions of WORMS.

Q. How can you tell which end of a worm is which?
A. Tickle it in the middle and see which end laughs!

Q. What do worms leave round their baths?
A. The scum of the earth.

Q. What do you call it when worms take over the world?
A. Global Worming.

Q. Why did the worm cross the playground?
A. To get to the other slide.

Q. What kind of worm do you use for math?
A. An Inch Worm

Q. What was the worm doing in the cornfield?
A. He was going in one ear and out the other.

Q. What do you get if you cross a glow worm with a python?
A. A 15 foot strip light that can strangle you to death!

Q. What is worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?
A. Biting into an apple and finding a half of a worm!

Q. What happens to a worm who digs too far?
A. It gets in-dig-estion

A. Big holes in your garden.

A. Sleep late!

Q. How do you stop the Blob from eating worms?
A. Give him a good slug.

And now that you're scarred for life after reading that ridiculous bit of nonsense, I'll bow out and make my exit and wish for all your sakes that Jen never leaves town again!

Cakes CAN (and DO!) go wrong

Leah again, hi all!

I don't know the lucky recipient of THIS cake, but I found this pic posted on another blog and just HAD to share (she found it on the Internet and doesn't' know the recipient either):


I'm thankful my family went the route of flowers and booties on MY baby shower cake!!!

It's amazing what some people will come up with, isn't it?

These would be funnier if they didn't ring so TRUE!

Hello! My name is Leah, and I'm guest blogging for Jen while she's busy with the double P's (photographing and partying...ha ha!). I dwell over at Laughing Leah Loves Lilies

On to more important things... I recently got these images sent in an email, and while I did laugh, it was more of a forced laugh, because they're just too true lately, to be FUNNY in a hilarious sort of way. What do YOU think??

Daddy don't forget the CHEEE-Os!!

Me again...Kaci from Ellyphant!! Elly just celebrated her 4th birthday (gasp!) on Wednesday and Jon called to check on El. They had the usual, "I love you's, what you doin', Daddy when you comin' home?" Then at the end of the conversation Jon was saying bye and El piped up..."DADDY DON'T FORGET THE CHEEE-Os!" We laughed and El looked at me like what Ma I'm serious. Gotta love her...and yes I bought her Cheetos it was her birthday and ... well I did ... don't judge me ... you know you love them too!!

Nobody loves me...

Everybody hates me...guess I'll go eat...

WORMS!!

Hi all! I'm Kaci from Ellyphant...Jen's away so lets play!

My daughter loves a good worm too just like Reese...so I wanted to make sure when ya'll were sitting down to your morning coffee you got a really good look at juicy delicious worm!! Mmmmmm!!! El took this at her birthday party last Saturday. Yes I let El play with the camera...secretly hoping she'll drop it and it'll break and therefore opps sorry honey gotta go buy another camera. I loathe my camera!! Takes crap-tastic pictures. Side note...I wonder if that's why Jon let's El play with his iPhone...hmmm he has been saying he wants the newer model. I'm on to him now! Anyways I was just waiting for one of the kids to pick up the worm and have a lil taste since they were all obsessing over the gummy worms I let them eat. Wouldn't that be a fun conversation with the parents...umm ya so watch your kid tonight...ate a lil worm...here's your party favor...peace out!

Stupid house in the stupid background!

here's my last post before I go on vacation....

I'm goin out of town!

I am headed to Dallas/Fort Worth on Thursday! My best friend's hubby has given up 20 years in the armed forces and for that he kicks ass! I will be gone until Monday and I will NOT be updating the blog but I will line up some guest bloggers because I suck at blogging.

Crazy maniac worm lovers need love too

wormie lovin

Ok I am going to start posting my stats and photo info (when I remember to :) )

AWWWW my girls

Look how sweet Stinker is when she's being distracted by tattooed hotties

I need a sugar daddy

If you know anyone or if you would like to apply for the position yourself, Email me :)

it hurts me to even look

I came home from Melanoma's graduation, on Sunday, to my son who looked like he ticked some big kid off.
No worries...he was pushing his construction truck around and crashed....with his face.

LEAH: Reese's shorts came from Target, her shirt was a hand me down from Lex that came from the Gap. All of Lexie's clothes are hand me downs from Abbie. LOL

WOO HOO

On Saturday, J had his Make a Wish party. IT WAS AWESOME! Make a Wish came out and built him a Rainbow Play System and every kid there couldn't stay off of it.


Here's the 3 amigos watching the tattooed hotties build the play structure.

So this is May

It's frickin freezing outside. I was gonna haiku BUT I'm too angry at the cold weather to even do that much. :)
This weekend my mom threw a very nice party for my Aunt's recent graduation. While we were there, my kids discovered my old tricycle. We couldn't keep them off it....

MAN I am so annoyed today!

I hate running out of time

It seems like I have so much to do but no time to get it done. Here's one from the walk last week (Meghan you should have your cd already)

I made a bee

To see why I made this bee and to make your own visit Help the Honey Bees

I finally finished the pictures from the charity walk on Saturday so I should be caught up over here VERY soon.

Happy birthday Stinkerbell!

I can't believe she is 2 already. Seems like just yesterday she was this size :(

(is anyone else having issues posting the past few days?? It takes a few tries to be able to post without an error message)

What a busy busy week!

It's finally settling down some. Saturday we had the Brain cancer 5k. Sunday was Mothers Day (Happy mothers day BTW) today I have a court appointment. Seriously...I am leaving it at that. If you would like more details on how the Michigan Friend of the court system is a load of crap contact me. If you would like to know how to get away with not paying your child support contact my ex. On a happier note I have a TON of pics to post and the Wings are winning. When I say winning I mean kicking the living crap out of the Stars.



ok sadly that's all I have time to do right now (my computer has been really slow lately) I will post again when I come back

worms

luckily my son was handling this one so it went back to it's family.

YAY someone loves me

Cari gave me an award!! I know she only did it because the whole "family" thing. LOL but Cari rocks! Who shall I pass this on to? I KNOW! Kaci and Shellie! You guys are the greatest and always make me laugh. One day I will find it in my heart to forgive Kaci for the ticket she just gave me :)

No Crabassness

Aww doesn't she look sweet and happy? Right after this was taken she tried to kill a worm. Save yourselves!!!!

I'm sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have been in a crabby funk. Why so crabby, you ask? A million reasons..my son is going through this horrible whiny phase where the only thing I can do is threaten to get rid of him. That worked the first time and the first time only. I miss my friend, John. We used to talk and text all the time but now we don't so I miss him. On a happier note, it's my ex-boyfriend's birthday today. I hope he chokes on the roll of quarters he has to do laundry with. :)


On a much much happier note (and not the sarcastic kind either)THE WINGS WON! I truly hate the avalanche the only player on that whole team with any class is Joe Sakic. He's hot too. Since I will never sink low enough to admit to any of my real life friends that I have the hots for Joe Sakic, I will leave you with my hockey husband...Zetterburg BTW I divorced Kirk Maltby...I still love him but I am moving on to a younger man
