Back to the 80's

I am not kidding, I wore this exact shirt (except it was a sweater) in my 7th grade school picture!!! Our small group had an 80's party tonight and we laughed so hard and had a fabulous time!!! I cannot thank Desirae enough for the outfit she concocted for me to wear. I recruited her to help me when Gary had to go to the Bahamas (once again) on business. I loved it, stirrup pants, gold belt and shoes, shoulder pads, a walkman clipped to my belt, beads, bracelets, dangling blue feather earrings, a WHAM button, the game Simon, and big net bow for my hair. I can't forget to mention the curled bangs, feathered hair, blue eye shadow and frosted pink lipstick. It was hilarious to think I really wore stuff like this, what were we all thinking??? Thank you Dez!!! I can't wait for you to plan the 80's rollerskating party so I can wear this "get up" again!!! We spent the night eating fun dip candy, looking through yearbooks, and singing Karaoke. My favorite song of the night was when Traci and I competed singing "Pump up the Jam" (90's) and I lost because I got cocky and started dancing while singing. I want a rematch!!! Jon Ochs won the other competetion of the night taking home the $30 pot for best dressed/accessorized, etc. He borrowed a 1985 car, how do you top that?? I did come in second place, which I am very proud!! (thanks to Dez again)
Gary, I really missed you tonight and would have LOVED to see you dressed up in 80's fashion. Mike and Traci Falder, below

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
