Stud...

Stud Muffin...

Nuff said!

Fishing...

Do you see a line in the water? Me neither...

"They just think I'm fishing for fish! What you don't see is what's on the other side of the pond!"

Smiling...

Just what is Chris smiling about? Is it that one of those presents are his?

Is it that Santa just came to see him? Is it because he's so happy that it's Christmas time?

Nah, it's because...well, you make up the story toay!

Cute couple...

"No, I did not use this rope to lasso the girl!"

"She used it to lasso me, but I took it from her and now I'm going to run!"

Wee...

"Oh, this is so much fun!"

"I'm going so fast! Oh, oh, Dad, slow down! Slow down, you're scaring me! Dad?

Mom, make Dad slow down! Ahhhhhh!"

Pretty Bird...

"Pretty bird, pretty bird, come here. I want to play with you"

"Ah, nice bird. I won't hurt you."

"hehe, now I'm going to eat you!"

I match!

I wonder how long one must be in the bath tub before they start to match the wall paper?!?

"Is it my color?"

Yum!

"Bye, Dad! See ya later! I'm just going to sit here and enjoy these beaters that mom gave me!"

"What a mess! Maybe mom should have put one of those plastic things on my shirt, too!"

More school days

"hehe, you're so funny Mr. Photographer"

"Oh, man! This is the best stand up comedy I've heard in years! And he is just the photographer! I wonder what else they have in store for me at this place called school?"

Shhh...

...sleeping baby!

And he says his wife can sleep anywhere!

Ah, Push it...

...push it real good.

Ok, maybe I'm a little out of line, but come on who ISN"T singing

"Oh, baby baby, Oh baby baby"

right about now? I know Chris is!

Gee Dad...

Gee, Dad, thanks.

The precious little smile reminds me of something that would be in the movie Old Yeller, or Leave it to Beaver...That's all I'm going to say about that one! :)

Je lève mon chapeau, mon chapeau!

My hat, my hat!

No! It's not a funny spaceship thing! It's my hat and I think it's sexy!

Coy Boy...

"Hey, what's up, hot stuff?"

Yes, he's the coy boy today!

Half full or half empty?

"Look what I can do, mom! I can jump in this pool that barely has any water in it!"

"Boy, I hope my little brother doesn't jump in & try to save me with those huge arm floaties on!"

Aren't we cool?

Here's me and my awesome cousin, Beth. Aren't we the coolest?

We always had the best of times!

This just in...

And now, in breaking news....

CHRIS IS TURNING 40 SOON!

Ok, so that's not so "breaking news", but coming from this

mini-professional it's really important news!

Family time...

Mom, Pops & me spending quality time together.

See where I get the ornery side of me??

I work hard for my money...

...so hard for it honey. I work hard for my money so ya better treat me right!

(it's my story, I can change the words to the song if I want to!)

Yep, he does them for his wife, too!

Send him back...

Mom, can't you send him back? I thought he was just going to come for one day to play.

Really? He's going to stay? Please, mom, send him back! I wanted a sister!

And thus, it began!

Don't it make my brown eyes blue...

Hey, cutie, wanna chat?

Um, hum. That's what I said. Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies...say anything, but don't say good-bye!

Ok, bad song, but just look at that cute little face and beautiful brown eyes.

20 days and counting...

We're down to 20 days before the big PARTY! Woo Hoo!

Invitations have been mailed and party decorations are underway.

If you didn't get a paper invitation to the party, don't sweat it! You're ALL invited!

The more the merrier and the more stories we have to tell!

Speaking of stories, I'm sure the one about his first "real" driving experience will come out the day of the party. But for now, here's a photo of his first driving experience.

Complete with the girl AND his Momma! Yeah, he's lovin' that!

Ahoy there Matey

It's us, it really is! We're not those pirates taking all that loot! See, we're sharing our loot!

Thought you might like a little more recent photo. It's the last time we got him to dress up.

Yep, it was before we were married. He was still working for the commitment. Now, the only time I get him to dress up is...NEVER. He won't even do it for candy anymore!

Happy Halloween!

~H

The devil in disguise

Um, hum. Yep. That's him alright! He's trying to disguise himself, but we're not buying it, are we? We know who's behind that mask and under those horns!

Brings a whole new meaning to "the devil made me do it", doesn't it?

~H

Scared screaming!

Stop scaring me! Id' insert the story of the Great Pumpkin, but Chris just doesn't seem as thrilled about it as Linus was. Maybe he's really laughing so hard that it just looks like he's screaming?

SCREAM LOUDER, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Who's under all that hair?

Almost thought I was cousin IT, didn't you? Nah, I'm way cuter!

Happy Halloween! Check back later today for more fun halloween photos!

Um, where'd all the candy go?

Seriously, Mom, I don't know what you're talking about. Candy? What candy? I don't know how these wrappers got there. Must have been Tim. What? Tim's not even born yet?!? Well, it's his fault anyway.

Sorry, don't go to Lana's tomorrow, there's no halloween candy for you there.

How you doin'?

"Hey ladies, all the ladies. Yeah, that's right, I'm cool. Check me out next to this awesome car! Yeah, it's mine...well, it's my daddy's. But he's gonna let me take it out tonight. Wanna go with?"

What a stud!

Woo Hoo, we've made it...

Now, we're adults! lol This photo represents the "adult Chris" as we know and love now.

Sorry about your arm, honey. If it wasn't on my rear, it wouldn't have had to be cut off.

So, this ends the journey that was displayed on the front of Chris' party invitations.

Now, we'll begin the FUN stuff!

More photos will be appearing soon, so be sure to check back later!

~H

Ahh, High School!

High School! As my mother in law would say, sing "Those were the days, my friend" The times when we think we look our best, but really we all just look a little goofy. Our 16 year old can attest to this! He has affectionately labeled this photo, "Dad, the stud muffin"

Enjoy your memories today!

School days, ghoul days...

Doesn't he look all fancy waiting for school to start? Ok, not sure if it's for school, but this was the photo we chose for the invitations to represent Chris' school days.

Isn't he adorable?

I want to be a cowboy, baby...

Can't you just hear Kid Rock's song playing in the background? It makes me wanna get up and dance then cock my head to the side and smile while grabing for my six shooter, just like in the picture! lol

Till next time...I want to be a cowboy, baby!
~H

What is that white stuff???

Well, according to Chris' mom, it's cream cheese. Yes, you heard right, cream cheese. She said when they would go to the grocery store, they would give him a block of cream cheese to eat while they were shopping and he loved it. I guess it kept him quiet so mom could take care of business! Here's a photo to show you just how much he loved it...

More to come soon!
