the tongue!

i think i know why this boy has a lisp..........................

there's a storm a brewin'

it's a balmy 86 degrees. the national weather service has just issued a severe thunderstorm warning. no rain yet, but there's lots of lightning and some pretty spectacular clouds mixed with great evening sunlight.


check-out the following pictures and enjoy the storm. storm clouds, that is.

well, it started raining now. that means we're heading back inside for some microwave s'mores (since we don't have any cookies). and to put a certain 9 year old boy (who never wants to go to bed) to bed.

man hands strikes again

tonight, as i was making some tasty guacamole, man hands decided to exert their forceful selves onto my unsuspecting michael graves garlic press. this puppy is made of solid metal. and is quite heavy on top of that. seemingly unbreakable. until man hands got a hold of it. one tight squeeze is all it took from my pasty white man digits to break my lovely 10 year old press. just look at the picture below and marvel at man hands strength. and whiteness. so white that my camera couldn't stand the brightness of them.

man hands do come in handy almost as much as they cause problems. they are stronger than the 5 sets of real man hands that live with me.

even stronger than the manlier hands i've been married to for twelve years now. tweeeeelve yeeeeeaaaaaarrrssssssssss!

speaking of twelve years ago.

this happened:

check out those man hands in that photo! looks like only a teenager would get a picture taken like that. let alone, while still on temple grounds. and then like the picture enough to get it printed. crazy teen brides. jeez....when will they ever learn. but in my defense, it was dbaggs who was the instigator on that shot. not me. i swear.

only old people are married for twelve years. like out of style fuddy duddy people who are stuck in the 1980's. and only young people grab bums like that. and that shot is recreated daily here. (again, i blame dbaggs.)

so are we young or old?

i'm a little confused.

but still a whole lot in love. (cheesy, I know, but true.)

happy anniversary to us!

(a day late. it was yesterday, really)

founding fathers and stonehenge?

when sending out your 4th of july salutations this year, don't forget to include a picture of stonehenge with them. i think super spy ethen is trying to tell us something.

what? you say you don't send out any 4th of july greetings? how unpatriotic of you.

when you are a super spy who protects his family as well as his country, you tend to be very patriotic. independence day is the favorite holiday of every super spy. founding fathers, flames, fun, fireworks, food, fishing, family, freedom, fstonehenge..........the "f" words could go on and on. but they won't. because some "f" words should never be said. ever.

i think super spy ethen might be onto something. this might be a subtle clue that our freedom and stonehenge might be interconnected. is this where the founding fathers came from? did they draw up the declaration of independence within its magical walls? maybe the little green men we've all heard about had a pow wow with them there and taught them all how to shape this fine nation. there is a strong possibility that this might be true.

maybe in a few years this information will be declassified and we'll all know the truth. at least he's giving us a heads up this year. get ready to edit those textbooks. and your greeting cards. don't be so weary of the little green guys, too. i guess they're really here to help.

so happy independence day to you all and keep in mind that pretty soon, nothing will quite relay the message of "let freedom ring" like stonehenge.

or little green men fishing your flag out of the pond.

we might have them to thank for our freedom someday.
