Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Allyson, Happy Birthday to you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a FAB-U-LOUS day.
You don't fight because Steve is a VERY patient man!
The laser thing is funny. That sounds like a pasttime I need to take up.
I have taken your advice of throwing Gabe's school work away. It was getting overwhelming. Now it goes right into the recycle bin.
The making up songs thing must be a genetic trait. I make up songs all the time and it drives my family crazy. I have a favorite one that I made up to Jingle Bells last year that Gabe and I sing all the time now. Although it calls one of our neighbors stupid and Gabe keeps telling people that I teach him bad things.
Ah, Dirty Dancing. I remember when we would watch that and start watching it over again right when it was done.
YOU SAY ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY.....IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO, YEAH!
Farrah! Sometimes I have to be patient too!
I wanna hear your jingle bells song.
"That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me baby and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before The Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad."
(--they don't cry-ay-ay, they don't cry, my girl didn't cry-ay--)
"That was the summer we went to Kellermans."
"Baby, is that yo name. Well you know what baby, you don't ---- about my problems."
"I carried a watermelon?"
"Oh, ma, look at that, I should have brought those coral shoes, but you said I was taking too much."
"Well, sweetheart, you brought 10 pairs."
"I know, but the coral shoes matched that dress."
"This is not a tragedy. A tradgedy is 3 men trapped in a mine, or police dogs used in Birmingham-"
"-Monks, burning themselves in protest"
"Butt out Baby"
ally i can hear you and see you saying those lines cause you used to do it ALL the time.
The reason you haven't had a haircut you like is because you live in UTAH! Seriously-you need to go to BeBe-the talented hair dresser from hell who will break your bank and make you crazy-but will also give you a sexy and perfect haricut.
i do the singing thing also-it does run in the family. tia has picked it up.
and you are both patient with each other.
and HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Allyson.
Your #22 disturbs me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I guess the phrase "you learn something new everyday" really is true! I had no idea you took Hebrew! lol very interesting facts, but yes useless :)
Happy Birthday Ally I sure do miss you. I think the last time I saw you was when I came to Utah with Gill Amos and then I stayed a few days longer than her because of a guy and I think we watched a movie in your basement? Am I right? Do you remember that?
Happy Birthday! I can't believe you never fight w/Steve. My parents never did either. I remember once when they did and I thought it was the end of their marriage!
Fun facts to read!
Thank you all for your well wishes.
Kristy, I have had plenty of haircuts outside of the state of UT
Diana it kind of disturbs me too
Heather I am glad I could have a hand in your continuing education
Kathy, I don't remember you coming with Gill but then I can't remember what I did yesterday so that isn't saying much. But I do remember you coming. Was that b4 or after you got married? Because I was at your wedding. But I know, it has been a very long time. One of these days I will find my way to my beloved TX again.
Megan, because my kids have never heard us fight either, when we joke around with each other they freak out and tell us to stop fighting and we just laugh because they think that is what fighting is.
A little late to the party, but anyway...
8. I also love music, and sing almost constantly.
9. I'm also a big Beatles fan, and have passed that on to my boys. Thomas came in second in the 2nd grade American Idol contest last year singing Help.
18. I remember you taking Hebrew.
20. I also throw out my kids school stuff immediately. It's just not that important to either them or me.
21. I also love cemeteries. They're usually very peaceful. Even Restland in Dallas, right at the junction of 635 and Central Expy, and right next to TI, is usually peaceful.
I'm so glad we reconnected!
