PEEP SHOW

10 years ago

Lexy was always making me laugh, doing silly things, resiting lines from our favorite movies (mostly Chris Farley movies) Using tape to distort her face was regular event in our house, we love to make ugly, funny faces, anything to get a laugh.

Things sure have changed, Lexy is still a funny girl, but just not as silly as she use to be. I guess that happens to teens.

...and to think I use to get irritated, because we were always out of scotch tape.

Have you ever seen the movie "Parenthood"(1989) with Steve Martin? A cute little kid playing Steve Martins son, puts a bucket on his head and head-butts the wall over and over again, why I don't know. Well, I heard thumping noises coming from my room, and there was Riley, playing out a scene from one of my favorite movies. She's never seen it, so I guess this is typical toddler behavior. And it's a mystery to parents as to why?

*Another crappy cell picture, but you need to use whatever is close to catch the moment and my camera batteries were dead. (hum I'm starting to sound Like my uncle Alan, dead camera batteries)

The Sequim Game Farm

This is one of the really cool things to do when you go to Sequim, the "Drive thru Zoo". Some of the animals are fenced off from the driving path, but still very close, and others are free to stick their heads in your window. (NO JOKE!, and yes some Bite) When you enter the Buffalo area, you're glad you own a giant gas guzzling SUV because these buffalo are bigger then most cars, the good news, their heads can't fit in the window, but their long slimy tongue can. ugh buffalo slobber.

One of the best parts of the zoo, you actually are allowed to "FEED the ANIMALS" that's a blast, the bears do the best tricks to win your love and a piece of your stale bread you bought from the front gate. Anyways, Chris took Lexy and Riley there for some laughs, screams, bear feeding, and buffalo drool.

*oops he forgot his camera, so this is the only picture, (he used his cell phone) Oh well, going to the game farm is easy when you live 2 miles from it. And I plan on going over sometime this summer... does anyone have a big SUV I can use? ; )

Hair Cut

well just the bangs

Riley has thick blond hair (she gets that from her Dad, because my hair is thin and very bleached) Anyways she has never had it cut, first off it's dangerous to put sharp objects that close to a squirming toddler, and second I love to put braids and ponytails in her hair. With that said, it is a huge task each day to wrestle her down, brush out all the "rats nest" (that's what my mom calls tangles) and try to get the part straight and the ponytails even. Because she looks ridiculous with her hair down, it's too big for her little body.

So Chris and I have been talking to about cutting her hair, giving her a cute little pixie bob, Lexy hates the idea and thinks Riley will look dumb. Only because Lexy had the cutest little bob when she was growing up and looks back at pictures and thinks her hair was awful, oh no it was CUTE!

Well still no hair cut for Riley, just the super trim of the bangs. I'm not sure if or when the hair cut will happen.

Graceland

Back in February Kris, Brian, Lexy and I went to Tennessee for the ACA Conference to sell our kits. During our 5 crazy day stay we managed to find a little Elvis time. I mean, if you are going to be in or near Memphis you better go visit The King.

I think Kris and I loved it the most, walking through his tacky yet beautiful house, hearing all his music, seeing all his fabulous outfits, everything from his Army uniform to leather peices to his glittered jumpsuits. It was Awesome! Then again, Kris and I are odd and like all the same crazy crap.
