Wesley’s Pet

Mom, where’s my hamster?

Your what?

My hamster.

Um, I didn’t know you had a hamster.

Yes, I put my dirty clothes in it.

My Beauties

I’m considering NOT posting this picture, and just using it for next year’s Christmas photo.

“You know something? Some human throw snowballs at my face… and… I’m hungry.”

So says Wesley.

The Christmas Card

Had I sent out Christmas cards, it would’ve been awesome to use this picture. But it was taken on Christmas morning. And I didn’t send out cards.

Oh well, hope you all had some seriously wonderful holidays! Merry merry!

Snowballs!

This is the cookie Jaynie decorated.
She loved the snowman’s feet.

That’s Not Much of a Stretch

This morning I was singing crazy versions of the Mount Wannahockaloogie chant music from Finding Nemo. (Sharkbait Woo-Haa-Haa!)

Wesley says to me: Your singing voice is better.

Me: My singing voice is better, huh?

Wesley: Yeah.

Me: Better than what?

Wesley: Jayne’s.

Halloween Titans

Below are two of the most beloved cartoon superheroes in The Cryer household. Robin and Starfire, from the Teen Titans. They were the inspiration for this year’s Halloween costumes.

You know you wanna see our versions…

The neighborhood kids.

Robin requesting a treat.

Not to self: next time use bobby pins.

Robin, Schmobin

Ripley here. I know, I’ve been as absent as my Mom has when it comes to posting on this blog. What can I say, I’m a born follower.

But really, when you see photos like this, can you blame me?

Dad purchased this costume for me years ago. Thankfully, I never had to wear it. It even made it into the Goodwill pile… I was home free! Except then the boy decided he wanted to be Robin for Halloween, and the costume was exhumed.

Mom actually thought she might be able to repurpose the costume for the boy… but turns out only the cape would work. Regardless, once the package was opened, I was doomed. She got all giddy as she dressed me in this get up, made the boy pose with me… oh the dogmanity.

Sheesh.

The Year of the Corn Maze

The Cryer — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:20:32 +0000

Last weekend we went with some friends to a local pumpkin farm and corn maze. We did slides, corn maze, tractor ride, cotton maze, playground, hay tower and pumpkin picking. Needless to say, the kids had a blast.

(Notice who is running the show in the photo above.)

Posting these photos made me realize I never posted last year’s photos from the corn maze. We had gone to a different farm… but I like comparing the photos for what has and has not changed.

For example, Jayne had all her front teeth then. Weird.

Wesley wore the same jeans both times. Only last year he had to cuff them and they did not have patches on the knees.

Jayne still owns these jeans. Now they are too short and also have patches on the knees.

Wes just looked smaller and pudgier.

What didn’t change? Jayne was still in charge.

A Bridge to Nowhere

This weekend we hung out near the Natchez Trace. And that huge bridge. It is so awesome, as are these pictures!
