Thanks JLo.

You can tell it's old by the colors of the room, and my clothes. I can't believe anyone ever thought that style of anything looked good.

But then, when I look at our house when we first moved in, I can't believe we though that was modern. ;)

Something that makes me laugh.

This was a few years ago, camping. That's hubby trying to fix the dogs light up collars, with a knife.

He's such a ham. :)

Crap, that came out really big! I'm sorry, I did resize it, really I did.

Shazzy, what am I doing wrong? :(

Me and my Grandma and my new baby brother. (My mom made all my clothes.)

This grandma would braid my hair so tight that I sometimes looked like a little Chinese girl.

WG, you are so cute! You're even wearing little mary janes. Just adorable! :)

I'm still adorable, but the shoes don't fit any more.

Me and my uncle (the son of the grandma pictured earlier and my father's only sibling).

Uncle Wally adored me and was my godparent. I've lived eight blocks from him since 1972 and had POA until he died. He had inherited my grandparents' house and lived there all his life. My younger son now owns it.

The shirt he has on was always my favorite shirt. I now own it.

Floating.

That's hubby and me on our honeymoon in Hawaii. R can't swim, but he floats pretty well. :)

Red, a blast from the past (2006) and it makes me laugh.

This is Syd riding my old rocking horse. My dad got it for me when I was just a wee one. We still lived in Germany at the time, so that horse is at least 37 years old. :)

I swear I re-sized both of those. What the heck am I doing wrong? I re-sized them to a 1/3 of what they were. I can only imagine how big they'd be if I hadn't re-sized. :(

And this is the best I can do for something fishy.

He eats fish. He smells like fish. He swims in water. I know it's a stretch, but it's the best I can do. ;)

Let's hope I got the sizing down this time.

By the way, after the crowds left, we stuck around to watch him swim, and that's when the staff fed him. They allowed us (Jared and me) into his habitat, and we got to feed him fish. He actually took it right out of our hands. It was very cool. Unfortunately it was just Jared and me that day, and I had no one that could take a picture of us feeding the sea lion, so this shot will have to do. :)

'Blast from the past' and 'What makes you laugh' for me

I'd gone home for a long weekend a couple of years back, and not having anywhere to sleep I took the couch, in the morning I get up to get a drink or something (and as such Jasper escapes from the kitchen). When I return he is lying in my makeshift bed giving me the look of 'but its sooo comfy' :D

He's so cute Bear, and I love that we both came up with the name Jasper for our dogs. Although I'm sure there were different reasons behind the choice. :)

This is a blast from the past (our kitchen now has laminate floors, and it's painted terra cota).

Jared is around 3 years old there, making a mess and having a blast. :)

Attachment 36111

LMAO! I can't win. My pictures are either too big, or too small.

Another blast from the past. Jared and Sydney are around 2 and 6 in this picture, and as you can tell it's Christmas.

It's also a bit fishy. How you ask? Well, that black fuzzy thing by Jared's foot, I have no idea what it is! Now that's fishy! ;)

Attachment 36112

Agreed its his little face looking so innocent when he knows he shouldn't be up there :D

I can't actually remember if there was a reason we called him Jasper, but we did find out he liked carrots a lot (Jasper Carrot) so it might have been that :D

As for the guess the fuzzy thing, I'm going to guess mini black furry slippers :D

We named our Jasper, Jasper, after Jasper, Alberta. It's a really nice vacation spot in the mountains. Big tourist attraction. We had just been there right before we got Jasper, so you, we went with that.

Never heard of jasper carrots. I thought all carrots were just called... well... carrots. :o

I'm guessing that it's a stuffy. I just don't recognize it.

I'm pretty sure it's not slippers. I don't recall any of us having black furry slippers that looked like a large black rat. ;)
