My Babies and Me

meandthekids2

This is us. Us at the Davolt Family Reunion this June. Sometimes Mark can make it down and sometimes he can not. This year due to the Costa Rica trip, he was not able to. Hence why he is missing from the photo.

I first got my DVD of photos last week. I browsed thought them and was depressed. Yikes, I do not photograph well and it seems my tummy flab is hanging out in all the pictures. Got to love having kids. Not to mention we were at the lake so there are plenty of pictures in a swimsuit. Not cool either. For me anyway.

But as I was looking through the pictures, I always can not wait for the family shots. Every year we take a family picture, in that all that made it to the reunion line up and take a big family shot. There are about thirty or so of us and the kids are growing so much. It is really neat to see how much they change from year to year or how much they have changed since the beginning of this family reunion which took place in 2001. And each year for the photo we have new shirts (thanks to my sister, the KIKI) and we usually pose somewhere different. I would post them here, but due to privacy of other family members I will not. But they are really awesome to see.

Here are my kids and me struggling to keep them under control is the norm. Sometimes all you can do is laugh......

I LOVE that picture!

And don't worry at all about how pictures look. Easier said than done, I know. I have some pictures of me a couple years ago, and I was sitting in a weird position, and my stomach looks really gross, but I was actually really toned then (only time in my life!). Cameras do weird things sometimes, and that's not what really matters anyway!

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
