Dear Judy

Your son is kind of a ham. I don't know where he gets it from.

Why are you looking at me?

He certainly doesn't get it from me.

What on Earth would give you that idea?

Well.

Maybe a little bit.

But I don't think I'm the only one who can be blamed.

Anyway, my blog is in desperate need of a winter makeover, so why don't y'all send me some winter pictures to inspire me? Not right now though. I'm going to bed.
Goodnight.

June

I turned twenty this month. It was nice.

19 years...

and 20!

The difference is just staggering. Don't you think?
I just realized I am wearing the same jacket in those pictures... Yep. Just staggering.

It was also the birthday of my dear siblings, Joseph, John, and Judy.

It was ALSO Fathers' Day.

I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorite pictures of my parents. Ever.


Happy June everyone! Hope it was great!

p.s. Having talked with my good friend Shelby and then later, my roommate, I've decided I want a teacup pig.

Aaaaaah. So cute.

In a nutshell

One of the guys in my Livestock Production class came in yesterday very tired, because his wife had a baby on Friday. On the way out I was talking to him a little about her and I enjoyed his comments as a new father.

"Yeah she is so cute, now I know why people like their kids so much. It's backwards though, she just wants to stay up all night and eat and sleep all day."

haha, good luck buddy.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

There isn't actually much about Halloween in this post, David just happens to be wearing his Halloween costume in this picture.



Lyle agreed to arm wrestle him but then he came out in his SPIDERMAN COSTUME. Boy, Lyle sure was scared then.

Thanksgiving:

We played games, like Heroclix


and Carcassonne.




We took naps





and fed the chickens.





We broke our kitchen utensils



and ate good food.


We talked


and took fuzzy pictures of each other talking. Oh wait, that was just me.
We cleaned dishes too but there are no pictures of that. I know, you're just heartbroken. Maybe next year!
It was a blast, and so fun to see John and Jenny & Co. whom we don't see too often!
Mind, I'm still waiting to meet the newest Parker baby. I can't believe I didn't go with Mom and Dad in October. I thought I was going to have a job, phhhbbbt.


Anyway.

Remember how last year I tried to do a "25 Days of Christmas" project? And then... I wasn't that faithful to it? Well. I had a request, to start it again.
And who am I to disappoint my audience?

Me. That's who.
I'm not going to try the project again, BUT I just can't leave Christmas alone, so I will be posting many things about Christmas, they just won't have a structure.
Shall we kick off now on this first day of December??

I love this movie, "A Muppet Christmas Carol". Netflix really needs get on this.

Matchmaking

Jonah: Cleo you know how you're the youngest?
Me: Yes
Jonah: Well, when Gweg get's off his mission you should mawwy him because he's the youngest too.


hmmm... I never thought about it like that before.

You're right, Lyle...

It must just be Judy and me.

In Conclusion...

I'm really glad this is my family.

My parents:

Dad: Hey Carla come sit down, "The Simpsons" is on.
Mom: ...

Happy 37th anniversary to my parents! :)
