2013 In Review

We welcomed Nico Bay and Evan Anthony into this world and said our goodbyes to Carson and Sandy's mom, Dora, as well as the wonderful, Bill Goodale. Whitney said yes, Sarah said yes, Shannon said yes, and Amy said yes to a possible June wedding. We helped Mr. & Mrs Peter Thomsen celebrate their beautiful wedding, as well as the birth of their son James Theodore. Congrats to Jeff and Erin; 15 years, Doug and Barb 34 years and Pops and Mimi ...... their 18,250th day together. Pops turned "70". Oh, we still wished Wiley a happy birthday, even though there was never a 29th of February. We had lunch with Ruthie, Hago and dinner with Joe and Geni at the Pageant of the Masters. Mags and Jill spent Thanksgiving in Miami and Christmas in Ireland. We saluted Broadway with Regan's dance group. Had the best seat for Cinema Paradiso. Pop's reunited with some old St. Francis buddies, Jill was promoted to ACD of art with Giant. We enjoyed the "re-birth" of 587, Evan's '32 roadster, Vitus Weiderholt and the "Battle at Pendlton". There were tummy bumps for little Amy, and Megan, and a big bump for our "roll-over" Anne. It was off to high school for Mya, and a big event for Mags and the POTUS, Barack Obama. Will and Doug had a big year with a couple of start-ups: Cardiff Products and the Laguna Tote Co.. Jenny gathered with her class of '83. Mike was buzzing along like an old pro landing some "NAMES" for GPSports Management. Devin was pressed and clean and ready to serve for the Cub Scouts. Aaron still wears his Vans ..... he has to ..... the money just keeps flowing in for his wonderful camera work. The William's hit San Felipe (twice), Costa Rica, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth and a number of cities too many to name.

Well, that's about it. If someone was left out, it was probably not on the blog. Hope all is well with this great family in 2014. "HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Christmas Dinner With Jack & Karen

MERY CHRISTMAS

Great gathering at Anne & Robby's for a Mexican themed Christmas celebration. Pop gives us the TOP TEN things overheard, before, during and after.

• "Can we go in the pool?"
• "Hey, who brought the lasagna?"
• "Is it, ceviche, or cevichi?"
• "OMG! next year I hope Maggie gets me"
• "Joe, is gift-envy a sin?"
• "Mom, mom, mom ...... Anne, can I have another cherrio?"
• "In a million, gazillion years, I never would have thought of giving someone a metal detector"
• "Boy, howdy, do I wish I had some Lego stock"
• "Hey, Andrew, slow down on the tequitos"
• "Do you have any vodka? Wine makes me sleepy"

 

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Best "TOP TEN" of 2013

It's so. Yes, Jenny and Julie got their lips tattooed for permanent color, and no it wasn't on a bet. Pop's gives us the TOP TEN questions they asked themselves before making the plunge.

•"Strawberry or Peppermint flavor?"
•"Should we run this past mom?"
•"Isn't this why the terrorist hate us?"
•"What could possibly go wrong?"
•"What would Jesus do?"
•"Seriously, have we lost our minds?"
•"How much just for the lower lip?"
•"Should I spend the additional $100 and get the one's that glow in the dark?"
•"Will this get me more friends on Facebook?"
•"Will I always be known as the preacher's wife with the "hot lips"?"

Guess What's For Christmas Dinner?

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" grandpa

It's true, Robby and Anne just added a dog to the list: 4 cats, 1 snake, 1 bird, 4 rabbits, and I don't know how many fish. Pop's gives us the TOP TEN questions they asked themselves before getting the dog.

• "Should we run this past Pops & Mimi?"
• "Can we save money by buying two?"
• "If we don't like the dog, do we have to keep the dog?"
• "Is this a bad idea, or a terrible idea?"
• "What would Sephra do?"
• "Should we also buy a horse while we're at it?"
• "Are we overreacting to Regan's demands?"
• "No #3, writer too depressed to continue typing?"
• "Will our friends think we're just showing off?"
• "Why didn't we think of this sooner?"
