Photostory Friday: Bethany's Camera

Well Bethany got a camera from Grandma for Christmas. I was unloading her memory card today because it was full. I thought for Photo story we could take a moment to see what goes on inside her head. What is important, is she artistic, does she have talent, ect. (I only used pictures I know that she took herself)

First up we have a self portrait. She would call this masterpiece 'I'm hot and you're not part 750'

Second she had to take pictures of the one thing she is most concerned about. This is the thing that brings tears of fustration, and tears of happiness. Yes her name is Baby Alive aka Alexis.

Thirdly, we have the one thing that Bethany thought no one would get her for Christmas. This is known as Harjuku world. She has stuffed and I mean stuffed all of her clothes into the other drawers so she could have one she could call Harajuku world. As you can see she doesn't only have her doll in there she has my doll. When I asked her about this she told me 'Baby G likes it better in there'

Next she took a nice picture of her friend Rainey from the dance school. She likes to be picked up late from dance on Thursday's so she can have time to play with Rainey.

This is a picture of a lion. Oh I'm sorry it's really Jackson.

I was surprised to see she didn't erase the picture of her brother Noah. She tells me all the time she hates him, and her life was good until he was born. I think she is just dramatic.

Uncle Ben holding one of Bethany's new favorite people, Baby David. She is drawn to people she can hold. She doesn't care how much they wiggle and scream, I mean cry.

She only likes Christopher some of the time (he stole her Jonathon but that's another story). This is a great picture of Aunt Amanda. I am alittle jealous. She didn't have one picture of me on her camera. whatever

This is a really great picture she took of Katlyn. I mean Katlyn is cute no matter what, but the picture was really clear. Maybe she has an eye for this photo stuff.

Ethan just asks for Beth Beth all the time, and who wouldn't just eat that up.

Kenzie likes ot follow Bethany around.

Na Na Na Na Boo Boo. Thanks Papa

This is Bethany's Joe-Nathan aka Jonathon. They are really close in age like 5 months exactly apart. They are very tight.

Last but not least. I thought I would call this one 'Peace Out'

So what do you think? Does she have a photo eye? I wonder how many pictures she deleted? I think alot. Either I need to clean out her memory card more often or she need a bigger memory card.

I don't have a foot fetish

From 2006
(just for the record I talked to Chris about yesterday's and today's post and he couldn't remember either. Whatever they are totally true events.)

Not as funny as valentines day but still alittle funny
Okay heres another crazy story about my life........

I want to say first off that I do not have a foot fetish.....

Okay,
So I'm at home watching TV. Keith Urban comes on (who I wasn't really crazy about) with his video Making Memories of Us.
Well in the video he's sitting in a very darkish room, on a bed wearing a blank shirt (dark) jeans, and bare feet. He's playing his
guitar. When I watch this video I get the sense that he is approachable, handsome, real, and heart felt, and he's writing this wonderful song.....



I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

What wonderful lyrics. I hope my husband loves me like that.
I know it is a marketing thing to have done this but I fell in love with the whole package. Now I am still not a huge Keith Urban fan but I do love his ballad stuff.
Anyway, He just came out with another song called Tonight I Want To Cry....
In this video he is sitting in a dark house wearing a dark blank shirt, jeans, barefoot, and playing the piano. You get the same feel that he is approachable, handsome, real, heartbroken and if you went in your own living room he'd be right there singing.....



Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

Oh I have felt that way in my life, and I hope to never revisit that feeling.

In both of Keith Urban's videos its his barefeet that really make it real for me. Whoever did that they were brillant. (he has other videos with barefeet)
So, I was watching the VH1 and there was James Blunt singing his song You're Beautiful.
The first time I heard that song I was watching the video. I was thinking why is that weirdo taking his clothes off in the freezing snow. Then the second time I saw it I listened to the words and thought I love this song and I love the simple video. The more I saw it and heard it the better looking he got.



My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

What girl wouldn't want that kind of moment. Your in a crowded place and you look across the room and for a moment someone looked, really looked at you ,and thought I could be with you then he sees you with someone else and realizes I can never be with you. I think its all about shallow things I guess but I think there is alittle shallowness in all of us.

Wow these are some great tunes. So I do not know what came over me. I shared all of these thoughts with my husband. Who now thinks I am insane. So now whenever he thinks hes being cute he will say I will sing to you in my bare feet. Or he will start sing 'you're beautiful' while taking his shoes and socks off.
WHAT A JERK.

Valentine's Day 2006 (Chris says something stupid)

I wrote this email a long time ago. It is so funny. I have kept it and have laughed alot. This is my friend Lisa's favorite email I ever sent to her. Enjoy

Email sent to Lisa Seckinger on Feb 15, 2006 early morning.

Okay so last night we are driving in the car and this is what happen.

My husband is driving and I am riding passenger.
Me: "So my friend Lisa from work said she had a blind date on Friday and when the guy shows up he brought her a dozen yellow roses. When she asked what they were for he said---Well I was sorry for being late and it’s a pre Valentines and they are yellow so that if this doesn’t work out we can still be really great friends---Don’t you think that is really nice."

Husband: "He’s fat isn’t he?"

Me: "What makes you think he’s fat?"

Husband: "Because only a fat person would do something nice like that."

Me: "No sir. I bet he’s not fat just nice. I will ask Lisa."

Husband: "Think about it….if I was as big as you are now when we first met would you have looked my way?"

Me: "Are you saying I’m fat?"

Husband: "No"

Me: "I cannot believe you just said that. Listen I know I am fat but for you to say it and like that. Chris its Valentines day …. I cannot believe you just said that."

Husband: "I didn’t mean it like that I’m sorry …….. I love you"

Me: "Whatever"

So he stuffs himself at the restaurant to the point he cannot even stand it.
We are back in the car and I am talking about something I don’t even remember what it was and he says "Please be quiet your voice is making me want to puke right now."

I said "I cannot believe you just said that. You want to puke because you just stuffed yourself almost to death."

I said "First I’m fat then my voice makes you want to puke. Well that just made my day."

I would like to say he never said any of these things mean. He just did not think. Ya know.
It made me think of those Sonic Commercials were the husband and wife talk back and forth and then one of them says something really stupid you hear the other slap the one that said something stupid……..
