Time Stamps

There has been a lot of talk about the possibility of baby #3 lately....WE are both so on the fence. 3 kids seems like a lot even though John and I are both the 3rd of 4 kid families. No wonder we have so much in common....

Reasons I want another baby...
1) With three kids the odds that at least two if them will be friends in the future are better
2) With one redhead and a brunette the joke would be complete if I got a blond...(A redhead, a blond and a brunette all walk in to a bar......)
3)When I had Liam I started to really understand more about my parents and who I am... watching how you have to parent siblings...being the third child myself ..if I have a third of my own ...maybe it will be like getting the answer to the world and I can get off the meds (just kidding...I love Meds!)

Anyways...my time stamps for this week are pictures of the past with me and my sisters...looking at these makes me a little sad that I will never raise sisters of my own. Although Brothers is turning out to be quite entertaining and I would not trade it for the world! We had so much fun and still do and it is a HUGE part of who I am today.

Don't I look like a fake baby?

This is out on a boat in the San Fran Bay...Ali and I still remember this day fondly...I love this picture because Mom always dressed us in the same clothes (poor boys...I now do the same to them) the funny thing is we dress pretty much the same now....on just about any given day we will be color coordinated or worse...see below

*note....I still love a hoodie and probably own 100 of them....thanks Mom for starting an addiction

We decide one year to have a ugly Christmas sweater contest...we showed up with the exact same one...DO you know how many Christmas sweaters are out there?? And how few Christmas DOG sweaters hit the shelves

I remember this day very clearly.....We were at our cabin in Tahoe Donner and I carried her all around that cabin to a made up song called sunglasses girls and trying to sing it to everyone, even though everyone was looking at me like I was annoying

*note my nightshirt is inside out....I still almost always wear my jammies inside out and even backwards... something that still annoys my OCD family to this day...I never understood why it mattered if it was at night

We are still doing stupid things to this day and most likely still annoying people as well.....

2 part vicodin and a touch of orange circle. For more flavor add favorite CD and 56 miles of driving time.

1 trip to LA blaring CHER down west hollywood blvd. or replace with Pizza Hunting on Christams Day! Very rare.


17 years of being partners in crime with a certain Sunchip and Dr. Pepper lover. :) For better serving use Wienershitzel and Mrs. Fields mini chips.
