If you want a card, I need an address

So, I'm sending out my Christmas cards and I need addresses! I have some but if you haven't recieved one in previous years, you aren't on The List.

Leave your address in my comments or email me if you are more comfy doing that.

shari_gunther@yahoo.com

There is an underscore between my first and last name.

Thanks!

Tribute to Husbands

My wife has been on my case to get the Christmas lights up for a couple of weeks... they are up now and for some reason she will not talk to me.

I got this in an email from my friend Kelley and I LOVED it! Mostly because Glade doesn't do lights anymore. If I want it done, I have to do it myself. Then again, my friend Sherri's husband just became the new Elder's Quorum President...she said he has been asked to do stuff like this. Hmmm, not a bad idea!

Confession

I love Avrie's face in that picture. She kinda looks like she's had injections in her lips. And I think I look funny in the first so that's why these are here.

So I decided to create my own tag. I'm not exactly sure why, just wanted to. So do it if you want, or maybe even if you don't.

Here are a few things you might not know about me, not all favorite things about me but this is the way it is!

*I weigh: (gulp) 146 lbs.

*I want to weigh: 130 (I would love 125 but let's get real here!)

*I yell at my kids at my wits end. And then I feel bad and either cry or go talk to them about emotions or both.

*I have to have the bed made every day. If night comes and it hasn't been made, I have to make it before I get in. And Glade can't make it, he doesn't do it right.

*I look like I am dying of a disease if I don't have make-up on. Not a natural beauty.

*I have really bad PMS. I cannot be logical or rational during this beautiful time. This is usually when I yell at the kids and then cry about it. Glade can't do anything right when I feel this way.

*I haven't cooked consistently since Brockston was born. I used to have a menu planned for the month and followed it. Not anymore. Brockston will be 4 in March.

*I am high on drugs right now! Muscle relaxers for the kink in my upper back so I can move. I may regret this post when I'm sober!! (te he)

*I am a computer retard. I'm getting better, but I don't know what I'm doing most of the time.

*I have to ask for help when I am helping McKinley with her 3rd grade homework. (not all the time, but sometimes)

*We have been on time to church 3 times since Avrie was born. Sometimes I don't want to go, but I do.

*I hate doing dishes and laundry. I would rather scoop Sophie poop that do either of those. Luckily, Glade does the dishes when he is in town. Laundry is another story. It piles up to the point I have bought clothes for the kids cuz none of them were clean. My mom was here for a day and helped me while I have been unable to move. Thanks Mom!

And those are a few things about me that you might not have known and probably didn't want to know. Oh well, you take the good with the bad. Well, hopefully! If you know of any weird things I do, feel free to comment and tell me about them. I will probably think of more later, I will add them when I do. I wish we could be honest more often. This is just the way it is...not always peaches and cream!

But I have a great life and I love being me! I am simply fabulous!

The picture tag

This is the 4th pic of my 4th folder. This is Brockston at the Peach Days Parade. He keeps his ears plugged because of the sirens. And at this moment I can't remember if he kept them plugged the whole time, even when the fire trucks had passed. Don't remember. So there is this tag!

6 month pics

Well, she did it again! I love my Stacy!

Yes, she's mine...I just let other people borrow her.

Her pictures always turn out fabulous.

It doesn't hurt to have such a cute subject.

Ya, she's mine and I see her every day,

but I can't get over how cute she is!

Comic Relief

I caught Brockston watching TV with his underwear

on his head. They were clean by the way. Today he is doing great

going to the bathroom in the toilet, but lately, he just doesn't

care...so he had been wearing a pull-up. So this was the only

other thing to do with them I guess! Boys...sigh.

Continued

Here we ALL are!

It was really fun watching Glade spray his facial hair white.

I was surpised when he did it. He's not a party pooper after all!

McKinley had grown tired of her wig.

She will probably never have long hair again.

It drove her crazy.
And poor Avrie had just grown tired.

Party!

Here we are before the Halloween Party!

McKinley is Juliet, Paige is Elina (Barbie Movies),

Brockston (really, you don't know?), and

Avrie: our cute little bunny. We have a family

picture but it's on Dana's camera. So as soon as

I get it, I will post it. It was a fun party but I didn't

feel great. So I would have had more fun had I not

felt like my head would explode. (as i do now!)

Brockston wanted his monkey, George, to have

a costume too, so we pinned a red

towel to him and he was Superman too!

Life in Africa

I laughed when I watched this and wanted to share this wisdom with the masses. It's funny how Kevin is singing along. I especially like what he throws in at the end. You may have to watch it a couple times to understand what he is singing. Funny! At the same time, this is what people are dealing with in Africa...so it's actually very sad, but the song is funny!

Oh, this is my baby brother, Kevin for those of you who don't know.

Mad baby, well sort of.

Avrie was making the funniest sad faces but I couldn't catch them.

I need a new camera, a nice one.

It probably looked bad when I was taking pictures of her starting to get mad.

She would scream and the girls would say, "Mommy, get her!"

I just kept taking pictures! As Brockston would say "Meanie."
