Taters School Pix

Tall Boys

Chris got his hair cut - finally! I always new he was a cutie under that mop hair.

Actually to be fair, he still was cute with all that hair, but it wasn't my favorite do. The faux hawk I can get behind.

Michael rocks the short hair too.

The only thing short about these two is their hair.

I don't care if you think I'm a goof, I wanna hear Santa landing on my roof

I wish it was Christmas today!

The Eagles Sux

But spending time with Tatum doesn't -- Look at how cute.
Tatum is doing a great job potty training. Just like PaPa, she likes to Sudoku while pooping. (me 2, get it?! #2!!)

A girl after my own heart.

She even stays in the lines.

Dad's got 6 sudoku books around the house - 3 per bathroom.

A lefty just like PaPa.

Look at that smile.

Such a good girl entertaining herself wile Dad and Jenel put up the tree.

Getting ready to break one of the thousands of Christmas doodads Mom has around the house. Lets see how many stay in tact by Jan 1

Turns out Dad still has pictures on the camera from LAST CHRISTMAS! Unreal - found this one of me and my baby.

Best cat ever.

A Picture Share!

3 hours!

NOVA Drivers Suck!

Gd!

A new record - not even 2 inches of snow and it takes 2 1/2 hours to get to work. Luckily I had my iPod with me so I was able to watch The Bourne Identity and the Buffy musical - Once More With Feeling. This is going to be a fun day. I do not even want to think what my drive home will be.

Even cartoon kitties get hairballs

I love YouTube.com - We were watching Robot Chicken and thought the Hello Kitty hairball sketch was a stitch - so Greg said to see if anyone posted it on YouTube and what do you know....



One cat clip on YouTube leads to another, then another, then this one...

Thanksgiving 2007

Few Pix from Thanksgiving. I didn't get any of the food, or anyone other than Taters really. I'll let Karen add further commentary. It was over before we knew it, dinner wise. We stayed late playing pool and video games with the boys, and watching Tenacious D.

I know, I know

I have been very neglectful in my blogging duties. Greg has been doing his part by posting some new videos of the Tot. There were a few things that have been keeping me otherwise occupied. I was pretty sick for a few days, then there was Thanksgiving at Mom and Dads with the family, and finally - we got a Wii!! Since Greg and I will be in Florida for Christmas, we got our Christmas present from Mom and Dad early. Greg got us a few games for it so that accounts for a majority of my lost time - either that or I was abducted by aliens.

Saturday Jenel and I took Tatum to see Playhouse Disney Live in Baltimore. It was a lot of fun and Tatum is finally at the age where she can enjoy the shows I drag her to. The show was so cute and Tatum had a good time dancing and clapping along to the show. I cannot wait til we take her to the Circus next year - she will be a blast. Our shows are a lot like Christmas - so much more fun with kids.



Here's some pictures of Tatum being the cutest little girl at the show.

Dance magic, dance. Put that baby spell on me.

Showing Benny her teeth is best way to get this kid to flash a smile for the camera.

I had to add this picture of Tatum the other day at her house - it's a rare shot. One at her home where she is actually dressed. All the joys of potty training. But she is doing really well with using the bathroom like a big girl. Now we got to go get her some big girl underpants as promised.

Tater Time!

Some pix of Tater keeping us entertained over the last few visits and her trip to Baltimore with Mom and Karen to see Disney live.

Mike's Bday...Starring Tatum!

some pix to see of the gathering at Mom & Dad's last Sunday. Good Times.



G&G, Aunt Ann and UJ all made it up to celebrate as it was also a day to celebrate my beautiful Mother's birthday.

I would post some comments but with an Uncle such as Gilbert - you are usually left speechless. See for yoselves.

Why Did the Ghost Pick His Nose?

November 1st is not just our anniversary, but it is also our nephew Mike's birthday. It is hard to believe Mike is now 15 years old!

Here's some pictures of our awesome, smart, handsome, tall nephews Mike & Chris. Did I mention tall? Greg has recently posted some pics of them and mentioned how they now tower over us. Shell sent this two year comparison and its too good not to share.

Yes - this is really a two year difference - from 2005 -2007. What does Shell and Wade feed these two?

They are also funny kids and for Halloween this year they borrowed some of Pam's wigs. Chris went as a Southern Rocker - I think he looks a lot like Greg Allman. It certainly worked on this little girl. Hubba hubba.


Mike went as a girl who is a Tomboy. Here he is with his friends that dressed up like Mario and Luigi.

For two handsome boys they sure do make pretty girls. Mike looks like Michele in High School and Chris looks like someone she would have dated in High School.

Now that they hit the teen years there isn't too much effort they put into costumes. I know from experience - one year Kath and I last minute decided we needed a sugar fix during our high school years - so we cut out a hole in a trash bag and went as bag ladies.

Cause He Had Boogers

Halloween for my nieces is another story - they put a Lot of effort into dressing up for the holiday. Luckily their Grandma Nancy is insanely amazing and talented and makes the best costumes. This year she made Two costumes - one for all the parties and one for Trick Or Treating.

Here's the Eagney Girls all dressed up and ready to go. Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and the cutest Witch ever.

The other outfits were just as cute - Here is Emma the Veterinarian.

Chef Sophia working on a new masterpiece involving oranges.

Poor Paige wasn't feeling well at one of the parties and was resting up for the big night. Even sick - she is adorable.

There are a lot more pictures of our cute nieces on Mike and Melissa's site - http://www.eggknee.blogspot.com/

Hopefully I will have some pictures of Tatum dressed as a beautiful Butterfly to post soon too.

The Other Sister....Flashback

Happy 10th Anniversary to my best girl

Looking Forward to the next 50...Love You Lots

Trick Or Treat

Amanda and Jen had their annual Halloween party. As always, it was a blast. Each year is themed and her friends really pull out all the stops so the pressure is always on to participate.

This year the theme was Movies. I figured my best chance of getting Greg to participate was to go as someone from Star Wars so I went as Princess Leia. Yet even going as one of the characters in Greg's favorite movie was not enough to get him to participate - so I just told everyone he was going as Morgan Freedman's character in Driving Ms. Daisy and was just dropping off Joc and me and picking us up after we got our drink on.

Here's a few pictures of the evening. Here's the hostesses Amanda & Jen or rather Regan and the priest from Exorcist.

Here I am with Jocelyn, her man wasn't feeling well so she was stag too.

Jocelyn was a beautiful Vampires

Here's one for Melis - It's 1986 David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth

This cute little bundle is Ellie - she was such a good baby and was very intrigued by my fake lashes.

Here is Kim in my favorite costume of the night - Eddie Munster - complete with Eddie's toy doll Wolf Wolf!

Amanda's kittie Jasper is so cute but she is extremely camera shy. She takes off if you even think of taking her picture - She even runs if you try to take her picture with a cell phone. But you underestimate the power of the force. I am patient and sneaky and it paid off with this very rare photo of my furry friend.

Here's me and Chewbacca chillin' after saving the planet from the dark side.

Flip through the slide show for even more fun photos of the evening.

Thanks to Champs and Amanda for another fun filled evening.

Happy Halloween!
