Just a funny

I found this in my email just now - I remember getting this email and laughing. For those of you who know, I am sure you will laugh as well. Nothing like a visual reminder.

The One Thing That's Better Than Chocolate!

So what on this earth could possibley be better than chocolate, I hear you asking yourself. I too, at times, ask myself the exact same question. The one thing I come up with each time unequivocally is 80's music. I hear you saying WHAT!!!! 80's music! YES, I declare - 80's music.

I recall in high school, my friends telling me that I should have been a teenager during the 80's so that I could have fully appreciated the styles and music. I must admit that the clothing and hair styles of the 80's left something to be desired - to say the least. But the music.........how could you ever turn off Def Lepard, Bon Jovi (Jana, that's for you!), GnR, Bangles, Michael Jackson (classic Michael....gottta love it). Don't forget Milli Vanilli, a-Ha, Cindy Lauper, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Foreigner. I could go on forever. If I could have satellite radio - it would be all 80's station all day long. I have one person to whom I can thank for my ........ taste in music. I will give all the credit to my big brother, Mitch. He would rock out to his Def Lepard, GnR, ACDC. That's where it all began.

Anyways, tribute to the 80's is my playlist. I will make my own 80's radio! Of course, there will be some early 90's as well. What is sad is, while listening to this, I remember the dances we made up, or the dances we memorized from watching the music videos. Oh, and I do remember my hair. Nothing like a little New Kids on the Block obsession. We will just hide those pictures! I think I have a story for each song. The soundtrack to my life. My playlist will be a work in progress. So check back often for more classic 80's tunes.

Fun at the Pool

We went for a family fun day at the pool today. The YMCA near our house has an amazing outdoor pool area. The kids had a great time; although, I am not sure who had more fun. Bryon or the kids. He seemed to really enjoy himself today. As we were leaving he said "I got exercise, got sun, played with the kids and had fun." Mr Multitasker. It was some much needed R&R.

We did have a good time. There was a lot of things for the kids to play with. If you are wondering where Ainsley and I are ..... well, we took the pictures this time.

We have come to this pool a few times this summer, this is the first time that Rebeckah would go in the spray pool. She had a great time.

Taylor put on my sun glasses and had her High School Musical moment - Fabulous. What a cheese ball.

The Big Yellow School Bus

Taylor is officially a kindergartner! For over a year now she has been anticipating this day ..... the first day of kindergarten. She finally gets to ride the school bus to school! Bryon had thought he would take her to school for the first day but she had absolutely no part in that. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Griffiths and her animal is a frog. Taylor thought it was very interesting that the frog for her classroom was purple. How interesting!

Welcome Modern Times!

This seems to be the in thing to do right now and since we bought a camera not too long ago and actually have pictures of our children - why not. I'm hip, I'm happenin' - we'll give it shot. We'll join the 21st Century.
