I really stink at Wordless Wednesday! Absolutely terrible, I tell you. I think I'm going to have to quit it, because I can't stop the words from coming out!!! Wordless isn't in my vocabulary!!! Maybe I should change it to Tell-the-Whole-Story Thursday, which makes sense, since Wednesday is almost over anyway!
**Why is this child SMILING!? She has a comb completely twirled into her hair. Totally stuck. She doesn't know the pain she will be going through to remove it or she wouldn't be smiling quite so big. Amazingly, no scissors were required for its extraction.
**Here is Kami going up in a cherry picker. A cherry picker! For goodness sake! And look how high she is! Why go to the fair when your neighbor gives you free rides on his cherry picker!? I don't have a picture of it, but she went up even higher!
**Ok, Ok... I'll leave this last one.... wordless... I think you get the picture!!!

My emotions are....
...like a river: trickling, flowing, roaring
...like a hot and wicked fire: hard to put out
...like looking down from the top of the Empire State Building: breathtaking
...like a sore hip: always bothering me
...they are as deep and serene as a shipwreck
...they are as free and empowering as hangliding
...until that hanglider hits the ground hard... and crumbles
My emotions are a worship song... my emotions are a mad dog...
They are the lonely cry of a bird on a cliff side
The are the constant hum and the buzz of the subway
My emotions are at once dark and beautiful
They are God-given, lifelong companions
that help me and haunt me
that shackle me that strengthen me
One thing! My emotions never abandon me.
My emotions?
The thorn in my side, that I realize...
make me who I am.

Our dog lover wanted a DOG birthday party...And it just so happens that Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua was coming out close to her birthday. So, Sunday, I took a couple of her friends/cousins and their dogs (stuffed!) to the movie theater to see the show, which was darling. I know it got bad reviews, but that usually means it's good, huh? Well, the kids loved it and I laughed all the way through it. I am telling you, that usually does not happen. I am not a real big fan of talking animals, but I really enjoyed this one.
Here are Ellie and her cousin Hallie at the theater. After the movie, we went back to the house where we had different stations:
This is the dogeteria where there were dog bowls and "dogfood" (Cocoa Puffs, Scooby Snacks, Chex Mix, and Corn Pops) for the girls to snack on.
Lindsey Loo, Ellie's friend since birth!!!
The dogs also needed some primping, so we had a grooming station, where there were brushes, hair ribbons and perfume (for the dogs!) Here is Ellie's cousin Ana with her blue blue eyes and her dog Tiny. 
Kami made up a Dogstacle Course (her idea!) and led the girls through the outdoor challenges. 
They also made Doggie Bags for their treats and made diamond studded turquoise Doggie Tags at the Doggie Tag station (see above). Don't forget the Veterinarian and Dog Store... all in all it was a lot of fun! 
One final tidbit, I used evite to send out invitations (gasp! I usually create my own), but it was sooo easy and sooo freeing! I loved it. 
Being a coach's wife and all, we don't get the opportunity to attend many sporting events but our own. Even though basketball season officially stretches from November to March, it seems like there are always team dinners, weeks and weeks of recruiting travels, extra workouts, late night practices and other things to attend to. To actually branch out and wear something except the Navy Blue and Vegas Gold seems, well.... weird. But when an opportunity with two old friends (who were in my wedding!) came callin', we made it work, and had a blast doing it. It was sure fun to be there with husbands and kids in tow, reuniting all together for the first time in a long, long time. Here we are below, except Tom who volunteered to take the pic. (Convenient, he doesn't like posing for 'em!)
The little girls know how to pose, the boys, however......don't!!! How do you like the pic below? They just can't help it. It's the testoterone!! 
Things have really changed since my time there 16 years ago. Could that be POSSIBLE? 20 if I"m counting from the beginning of when I went to OSU. I sat through a couple painful Ofer seasons. But now, with the love of T. Boone Pickens, the stadium is fabulous with a capital F, the crowds are amazing and the wins.... 5 and 0? What planet am I living on? I remember going to a game with about 100 in attendance!!! That's it! Well, like I said, it is a different place there now. We're so glad we got a chance to go... because guess what starts next Saturday? BASKETBALL PRACTICE!!!!!
