True Friendship...an email funny

1. When you are sad -- I will jump on the person who made you sad like
a spider monkey jacked up on mountain dew.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.


3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must
be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I
get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how
much Worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well
Again. I don't want whatever the heck you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy butt.

9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end.
'Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend'.

Friendship is like peeing your pants,
everyone can see it,
But only you can feel the true warmth..

Cinco De Mayo

Today is the 8 year anniversary of my baptism! Wow, how time flies and how things change!

Another Fun Creation from Storybook Plus

This is an invitation I created for Brooke's b-day. I was able to customize it for each girl, so where it says Princess, I put their first name in there and then printed it. This is the earthy power palette, and the three circles are individual stickers. It only took about 5 minutes or so. I think it's so cute!

You're Invited!

Congratulations Crystal!

Well, even though Crystal didn't quite make a post per day, she did a pretty darn good job! And, for that I congratulate her! Of course, the challenge for May will be a post per day, and there is 1 more day in May than April. April only has 30 days, and the 30th one is the best!!!

Crystal has been busy lately, getting up at 5:30am some mornings to get things done, so right now she's off for the next 7 or 8 hours at a scrapbooking event! She deserves it and I hope she's having fun.

Me, I have Guys, Flies & Pies (Visit www.GuysFliesAndPies.com) in 29 minutes. Should be fun! I have kid duty and I'll be trying to teach some flies to some new guys, and order pizza.....that's Crystals job. I hope I can handle ordering pizza! Wish me luck!

PS - sorry, no picture for now!

Happy Birthday Brooke!

Today my little princess is 4 years old! She's so smart and beautiful. She makes us laugh, and sometimes almost cry! Brooke is taking dance lessons and loving it. She loves to play outside and with Barbies, and her babies. She is a great big sister, and a typical little sister. We all love her and are so glad that she's part of our family. We love you Brooke, Happy Birthday!

Mike and I decorated for her last night so when she woke up it would be beautiful down here for her. She was very excited to see the streamers and balloons. I also wrapped up an outfit for her to open to wear on her birthday. I took a picture of her sleeping last night, her last night as a 3 year old girl! Here are a few pictures of her seeing her decorations and opening her gift. And every princess needs a blinking crown to wear on her big day!

Happy Sunday!

Today we went to church, then Crystal went to a baby shower. She had a great time and won a do-rag. Well, it's not technically a do-rag, but a lightweight towel thingy that you wrap your wet hair up with. Being the man that I am, I had to wonder why a towel wasn't good enough, and why someone would have to invent a towel like this. Well, for all you guy(s) (are there any guys that read this blog?) out there wondering, apparently a normal towel is really heavy and hard to have on your head. I guess it's something about being off balance while trying to scrub the floor.

I'd like to take a moment out to thank a few people. First, I'd like to thank myself and Crystal. Crystal because she started this blog, and myself because I put the words Guys, Flies & Pies on it when I mentioned my new website called www.GuysFliesAndPies.com. You might recall that I did that so mighty Google would see it posted here, and then decide my site was worth putting in the results page for a search for Guys, Flies & Pies. Well, blogophiles, it worked. Have a look at the search results! It's the 5th result down, but I swear the other day it was at the very top!

What's in store today folks? I'm glad you asked. We have a 73 degree Fahrenheit prediction and I think it's going to happen. Of course, my Wrangler jeans covered legs hope I'm wrong, otherwise they will be off to sweat land when I leave work at 3pm. Then, it's home so Brooke Star can go to dance class.

I guess that's pretty much my day! So, here's what I'll do. How about a contest? Everyone loves contests. The person who gives me the best home cooked dinner idea for tonight can join me and the family for dinner, and get the rarely used spot next to ME at the table. Please submit your entries by 3pm EST or else I get your dessert!

G'day mate!

DOH - almost forgot a picture for your viewing pleasure....let's see what I got today.....

"How much for that Brooke in the window?"
