Sunday, March 16th, 2008Joe’s and my birthday
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007Here’s the pictures (finally!) from Joe’s and my birthdays! First are Joe’s because we celebrated his birthday first.
Here is the famous (or infamous?) Joe M, acting like a model with his new jacket and mug.
Joe gettin’ rabbit ears from Em!
Sittin’ on the brown couch waiting for Dad to finish taking pictures!
Dad always takes pictures then he says “Ok you can open presents.”
Me acting like a weirdo while waiting for everybody to sing Happy Birthday. Ok, story! Dad finally had gotten all 13 candles lit (there wasn’t 21, so the girls did a 2 on one pie and a 1 on the other), then they made me laugh and I accidentally blew some out! So Dad relit them. BEN even blew some out, too! (He’s sitting next to me.) Abby was getting up to see what was so funny!
Me still laughing! It was lots of fun! (By the way, see my cool South Africa shirt? So it’s covered by my jacket but you can kinda see it! Got it from my friend in South Africa!)
Mom is Dead.
Sunday, December 16th, 2007PLEASE FULLY READ BEFORE COMING TO ANY CONCLUSIVE CONCLUSIONS. THANK YOU.
Folks, I’m sorry to bring you the sad news that Mom passed away at approximately 12:15pm today.
“Anne, could you take my blood pressure?” she asked.
“Ok.” I got up and went over to her to take her blood pressure. I put the cuff on her, adjusted it so it wasn’t over her elbow, put the thingy in my ears, straightened the tubes (they’re in a certain order), and proceeded to pump the cuff up. “That’s weird,” I said. “It went real fast from about 138 down, then around 60 went thump, thump, thump, slower.” It wasn’t quite like a heartbeat though.
So I let all the air out and pumped the cuff back up. Nothing…the pointer dropped past 130; 120; 100; nothing. Finally, down by 60, again I heard it, thump thump thump, but not quite like a heartbeat.
“Let me try,” Mom said. I gave her the ear thingy, and pumped the cuff back up. Mom listened, and got a weird look on her face like I did. “I heard it after 60, but it wasn’t like a heartbeat either!”
Mom was officially pronounced to be either dead or heartless at approximately 12:27pm. She is survived by her dear husband and her twelve children, all of whom will enjoy a wonderful birthday dinner (for Anne) and dessert tonight at 6pm. Y’all are invited.
In case you haven’t realized, it’s totally a joke that Mom died; however, it IS true that we couldn’t get a heartbeat from the bloodpressure cuff! I think she needs a new one because she is most definitely alive.
Our Exciting Life
Monday, December 10th, 2007Beth’s Birthday, December 9th
I forgot to post a post on Beth’s birthday yesterday!! Shame on me! Well, yesterday Beth turned all of 14. She’s really becoming quite the young lady, too! Here’s some pics!
Pictures
There’s a few pictures here of Eric’s birthday, too.
First a picture of Beth with the deer she got this year!
Beth and the “loot shot”
Doesn’t she look pretty?
Eric and the traditional gift from Joe–pot. I mean pop!
My favorite picture of Eric
And last but certainly not least, Joe’s new pickup!
After-Dinner Entertainment
After a good dinner of awesome quesedillas (better than yours, Paul!) and guacamole, everyone was pretty much stuffed (except the ones who have self-control). Eric has this little custom, or…I’m not sure what…of doing jumping jacks when he’s stuffed. Not when he’s full; only when he’s stuffed. There’s a reason: to make everyone else sick! Well, tonight Eric sure enough started doing jumping jacks. Joe got up and to prove he could, started doing jumping jacks, too. Eric, by the way, had five or six quesedillas. Joe had three. Ben had six or seven. Dad had three or four.
“Ben, aren’t you going to prove yourself get up and do jumping jacks?” Dad asked.
“No, but I’ll prove myself another way–I’ll pick you up!” Ben said to Dad, then started taking a drink.
“No! You know what happens when you squeeze toothpaste tubes from the middle??” Dad asked. Everybody burst out laughing, and Ben about choked on his drink!
