Gene's, Heredities and Such

So it's understood that people think we are "pretty" but it is important to know where we came from. In a search for specific photo's, I was lucky enough to come across HUNDREDS of little gems. Firstly, my Grandma Bonnie.


I can only hope that when I turn gray I can do it gracefully, and still look as gorgeous as she did. She always had the same smile that really defines her. Really it's hard to find many pictures of her because she is usually the one taking them.

Then there is my mom-


I could post a picture of what I looked like when I was 14, but I will spare you all, and you can just use your imaginations. But this is simply described as ADORABLE. I truly am jealous of how cute she was in 1966 and wish I could achieve the same look with a bandanna.

Now there are other pieces that put us together, and sometimes we wonder how it all worked out. But I do know where we all got our sexy legs.


Now the explainiation for why Tom is wearing a really snazzy blazer over his super nice button-up without slacks, is simple. It was July, and very hot in Payson. Knowing full well that he was going to be posing for a picture that was going to be taken from the waist up, he kept himself cool by wearing his very fashionable shorts, and knew full well that no one would know the difference.

Thus- Carter, Laura and I, were created by only the cutest of folk.

I'm Ready For My Close Up Mr. Deville....

Jack is sort of ALL Hollywood- which goes really well with his new attitude he has of being quite demanding and throwing fits when he doesn't get when he wants...

For those of you who are interested, we are having our now annual Halloween Party. All who came last year, have been blessed, and may return for more blessings. Those who are new to the event, are sad. Cause they missed an awesome party last year. The date has been determined, and we are planning on Friday, October 26. Most likey around 7. Yeah, 7:00pm sounds good.

Requirements are as follows:

Please come in costume. It's the whole point. If you don't have a costume, put a hat on, draw something on your face, or write something on a tee-shirt.

Bring family and friends. The more the merrier.

Please come.

I hope to see you all there. Here are some of last years attendees:

So, though I had practically given up becuase "Joylynne" had said she wanted to work things out and never again called to make an appointment- we are still paying off our $1000 with Tru Talent.
So I get a call from them saying our card declined. This is happened before, but the card they had was a Mastercard, and Josh and I don't have a Mastercard. COMFORTING. Anyway, this time it was the right card, and there was money in the bank, so I said "You know, it's really hard for us to give you guys money when we haven't heard from you in months." After realizing i was about to tear into some little accounting chick that had no control, I decided to stop. I told her I'd check the bank and call her back.
I check, there's money, I call, and she says "Sorry, our fault, we input the wrong expiration date!"

..ha ha.

She then asked "So what was the problem you had, tell me again?" and I explained to her our situation and she assured us that someone would call us.
LOW AND BEHOLD! Someone actually does. "Clayton" called my phone and asked what he could do for me. I've never heard of Clayton, but I told him the whole story, and he said "Well, I am new here and just trying to get things in order." And I asked "Why would a new guy call me?" and he said "Joylynne is no longer with Tru Talent."

THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW. Awesome.

So Clayton is our new agent, and is going to do what he can to make us happy. He said he'd take a look at Jack's portfolio, mind you- he doesn't look anything like he does in the pictures we are spending $1000 on.

Ugh, that's all.

Another Day at the Office

There are times when it gets real quiet in the house..and that is NEVER a good thing. Jack is always creating some sort of mess or being super quiet since he knows he's doing something he's not supposed to.

However, recently, I have come across these quiet moments and discovered that he isn't creating mischief- he's simply hard at work, in the office.





So as you can see, we all pitch in here.

Holga Hopeful

So these are the THREE pictures that turned out from my roll of 12. It's my first roll- so I'll let that slide. But I want to get better at this. For sure. Here are the 3:

Another average day...

This is Jack after ONE oreo.

Jack's average day-

So, everyday brings something new. Whether it's licking plugs then sticking them into an outlet, or climbing to the top of our kitchen table to spin the lazy susan around, or dragging the fan around with the cord wrapped around his neck.

Everyone of us has our choice of how to eat an Oreo. I like to stick a fork into the middle, dip it in milk, and after the fifth bubble rises, eat it whole. (Thanks, Kim.)

Jack, likes to open it up, eat the cream out with a spoon, while sitting in a box.



How do YOU eat an oreo??
