Matthew's Blog: A night at the Magical Forest

Matthew's Blog: A night at the Magical Forest Click on link for more cute pics of Magoo's smiley face.

Just look at that face...he was grinning from ear to ear the entire ride!!

When the carousel took off, I was surprised at how fast it was going... I was trying to hold on to Matthew w/ my left hand and to the pole that was moving up and down, with my right hand ...

and I ALMOST FELL OFF!! LOL, I should have been on the other side, but as we went flying past Heidi, I said, "OMG I almost fell!" and she was laughing and said, "I know, I saw!!" There was only a small area for me to stand on.

*LOL* Notice the contrast on our faces... one gleeful bliss, the other.... not so much.

More wedding pics in addition to my previous post

Matthew was too grumpy and sick for me to go to Beaver this time ... so, I came to mom's ~ it was the only way to stop Matthew's major conniption fit. While I was here I scanned some more wedding pics.
This is Mikey and Casey. My two favorite men.
Now you can see all the beautiful dresses that Marci made. Marci is to the right and those are her little girlies. My sister Kim is next to me. Marci had just had colon cancer surgery the April before our wedding and she still made my dresses!! She's doing great BTW ~ 95% cured. Praise God!
My two best boys. I am close to 11 years older than Mike... and Mike is close to 11 years older than my son. *snort* Casey walked me down the grass to the alter.
This is Johnny and Mike... Johnny and Mike have been best friends since Jr. High ... up in San Ramon. This picture is hysterical...it was taken the day after the wedding while cleaning up.

I have this 5x7 framed in our den. I frequently tell Mike that I've always known Johnny is really "his best girl". I knew I caught on the rebound!! LOL

Couple fun pet pictures

What is wrong with this picture? This is my sisters parrot and cat.

Quixa sleeping w/ Daddy... she can't wait for Matthew to get up so she can snuggle up to Mike.

This is an every morning thing.

This is our little green girl, Aimie.... struggling to get herself an almond while driving to Beaver.

She will risk life and limb to get at an almond!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty mouth needs cleaning ~ giggling

Check out this Orbit gum commercial.. hee hee! It's only 30 seconds long ~ so you can watch.

My son Casey and Mike & I watched this several times ... it's so funny!
I bet you'll watch it more than once, too!! er... or maybe not???

I need this kind of thing to lighten things up a little bit... ya know ;-)

My little Marsupial

Matthew's Blog: Matthew Marsupial

I can NOT believe I found this raccoon clip!

I saw this on Funniest Home Video's ages ago ... It was one of my all time favorites!!! Mike and I spent several weeks trying to find this with our TIVO ... but here it is, on You Tube.
This raccoon so dang funny ... it's little eyes crack me up! Keep your eyes on the door after it leaves...it peeks in. The music is totally perfect. LOVE THIS CLIP!

First time in a pool.

My brother bought Magoo a little life vest, so we thought we'd give it a try while at his house.
Matthew wasn't too happy about the pool, but he didn't freak out either. Look at those little chicken legs!

(The makings of, and) A tribute to The Queen

My blogland friend , Queen of the Mayhem so kindly asked ME to be a "guest writer"over on her blog today.

At first, I was all excited and thought, "OHHHH......HOW FUN!!!!" But then, within seconds ... seriously.... the insecure part of me said ..."OH NO, I can't be as funny as the Queen ~ what the heck am I going to write about?!" "What if her readers think I'm a big dork?" I don't want to be like Dorky Dad you know! (Jussssst kidding ... he's very fun. ;-)

Then, she told me Lawyer Mama and Paige were going to be "guest writers" this week, too.

DOH!!!

When she told me that, I really thought ... "NO WAY! I can't go be a "guest writer" in between these two talented writers!!" They are awesome bloggers!

After spending a few days of stressing over this ... I thought ... what the heck ...

I'll go ahead and do a tribute to the Queen. Yeah ... a tribute. She'll love that!!

I was going to discuss why I love the Queen and how I e~met her. I was also going to ask everyone else to comment on why they love her and how they e~met her!! It would be a fun for her. But, darn it, I can't figure out how to get on her blog .... I double checked her e~mail for instructions ~ I must have missed something. Can't get on her blog to post.

So, I'll do a tribute to her here!

I met the Queen on Matthew's blog about 6 months ago. She's the second non family member that came over and commented on Matthew's blog.

She was always so sweet, kind and caring. I had to run over to her blog and e~meet her. (I was not really into blogging yet.) I fell in love with her immediately. Her blog is great and I always leave cracking up. Not only is she a little hotty girl, she is fun ... witty ... smart ... kind ... has two of the most adorable children ... has a great husband ... and lives a very happy & hectic life. She has always been supportive and helpful to me. I feel like I've known her forever!

We both love Kenny Chesney and she swears that one day, she's going to come to Las Vegas and we'll go see him in concert. I think she'll be here in November, BTW!!

We've talked on the phone a couple times and it's like we're old friends.

I believe most of you already know her ... if you don't, go e~meet her!

If you do, please go to her blog and tell her why you appreciate knowing her!!!

Hum,

I suppose you can just comment here ... go ahead and go on and on about her now, since she'll come and read all the good stuff on this post! You know us girls!

How to save the airlines!

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.

Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell!

They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin. And of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and "special services."

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women.
Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.

This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Right??

Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

Someone e~mailed this to me today ... I thought it was hysterical. Uh, not so sure if Bill Clinton really said this ... but it's funny ... I could see him saying something like this... hee hee!

Best commercial in Europe

"I Love..." by Tom T Hall

This is a little 2 minute video to the song, "I Love..." that my husband spent 6 hours putting together...

Those of you that follow Matthew's blog saw this already in January.
So, since it's musical Monday... thought I'd post on my blog, too.

Mike timed the pictures out perfectly to the song. He's so cute.

This of course, is a favorite video of mine ... I love the sweet song. Mike put some before wedding pics, a wedding pic, family, pet and Beaver,Utah pics. Of course, lots of pics of Matthew during his stay at LPCH @ Stanford...which includes a picture of us with the surgeon that saved Matthew's life. The picture of us kissing Matthew was right before they took him away for his second surgery.
