rent is due by the 15th of every month & pretty little girls

This is how Lottie Sue pays her rent...

outta my way please

She loves to use the broom, if you don't let her have it she lets YOU have it ifyouknowwhatImean.

I borrowed these photos from Grandma the other day, thought I would share.

this is my mom at age three (i'm guessing) - how sweet

this is momma when she was five, how pretty

And speaking of pretty - look at me at three months. This was my first Easter photo.

where is my neck?
note to self: dress lottie sue in bonnets

this is me with a very happy becce in 1977 i would guess

and here we have the huddleston girls
decked out in their izod outfits in 1982
(at this point cera was known as the
"bald eagle" due to her lack of hair)

Oh yeah - Megan was on TV AGAIN the other day and look - you can see it my blog! Wow, technology.

Alrighty, short post for now but I'll be back soon!

yes, it's a midriff jersey but the gun is the best part & becce is all business up front but partying in the back

Dear Matt and Becce,

I hope you both know how much I love you, but I found these photos and couldn't help myself.

Big hug,
Jen

OK, I think this is the most embarrassing photo of Matt. Ever. I assume that Matt cut the football jersey himself. My favorite part is the gun. I think the first time I saw this photo I didn't think it was real, I thought it was a funny photo but no - this is his official senior year football picture.

Stick em up

I think everyone would agree that Becce is very fashionable...today. Maybe not in the 5th grade. I give you, "Becce with Front Butt-Cut Mullet."

Business up front, party in the back

I'm in the process of scanning in lots of photos. Any that I find embarrassing will have to go up. And don't worry, there are bad ones of me as well. I will share those with you - I can laugh at myself (proof).

Ooh, I just found this one of Sara/Cera*...this is her "Wilson Phillips" hair style. She REALLY wanted to look like one of the singers in that group (the blond one with the super short hair). She was obsessed with the song "Hold On." This photo isn't too embarrassing...

Hold on to your curtain dress

And here are new and old photos I scanned in during Lottie Sue's nap. First, current-day Lottie Sue...

Lottie Sue is now 10 MONTHS OLD!!!

And now a few old photos...

This is a photo of Grandpa and our mom

Me with the tambourine and Becce playing in the driveway

A Halloween photo, I think maybe we are 6 & 8 (I don't know if it transfers, but Becce was so HAPPY to be a bride for Halloween)

This is me at 6 months old

Me again, not sure of the age

A YOUNG Josh and Matt (babies practically!), they bought a car to maneuver around their six-month stint in Europe in 1996

Matt and I are just dating here, on a visit to see Mike and Becce - we are at the horse track

I dream of Jeannie

Here's to a great week! Today is just a GORGEOUS day, makes me happy.

*I've had some of my friends question the spelling of Sara's name, it is actually S-A-R-A. When Cera was little she was obsessed with dinosaurs (this is pre-Wilson Phillips) and a movie came out titled "A Land Before Time." There was a triceratops in it and her name was C-E-R-A, once Sara saw that she wanted our parents to change her name legally to spell it like the dinosaur in the movie. I remember a particular crying episode in the JCPenney parking lot over this topic. Momma refused her plea and she pitched a major fit in the parking lot. This was around the time she was also demanding a rat tail, I think our mom was o-v-e-r her ill-intentioned requests.

Anywho, that's why we write her name as Cera...

lottie sue and harlan meet the easter bunny, i can't say there were impressed

Or at least Lottie Sue wasn't, Harlan looks like he might be enjoying it a hare (hahahahahahaha) more than her.This morning we went to the mall to do the standard "Easter Bunny" photo. Lottie Sue was great, no crying but she wasn't exactly into him.

Lottie Sue preferred watching from afar

I can't tell if he's about to laugh or cry

The photo of Harlan arrived in the mail yesterday - I have looked at it about 100 times. Harlan is growing so FAST, I hate it that we don't live in the same area. The Apples are coming to town in a few days and I am EXCITED!!!

I scanned these Polaroids today, I found them recently when I was going through boxes in the bonus room. These are photos of me on Easter, I am guessing I was two years old or maybe three? This is my mom in the first one, I miss her very much (sigh).

Was I adorable or WHAT?

I put together LS's new stroller today. Any time you bring anything new into this house Kevin and Ernie must investigate. It is their job thankyouverymuch. First, Ernie popped in for an adorable photo op and then Kevin made it his afternoon nap area.

Beautiful, sweet and perfect Ernie

Kevin and his girlfriend, Bandie

Kevin's girlfriend is that red rubber band that's caught next to the tire - he goes nutz for rubber bands. He will take it wherever he goes and if you try to take it from him he will grab it/her in his mouth and take off like his tail's on fire. Nothing stands between him and Bandie, 2-getha 4-eva. Don't you forget it.

Ok, I'm leaving you with a shot of Lottie Sue today after her nap. She loves to play play play, so that's what we do.

So many toys, so little time

Over and out,
Jen

Hello Dolly! & T-Minus 4 Days

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Cera is almost done packing the things she needs for her move to Los Angeles. She's outta here on Saturday morning. Um, that's in four days. Let me distract myself by posting pictures of her birthday last Friday.

Cera FINALLY got a new cell phone. For those of you that don't know, she had an old old old phone that her co-workers dubbed her "Zack Morris phone" (hahahaha) and it drove me crazy. It was heavy and big and didn't have texting capabilities - I'm pretty sure it had a rotary dial on it. But I must say she did it right- she bought an iPhone and named it Dolly...

I was so happy, I made her pose in front of the Apple store

And here is a photo of Cera about to blow out her birthday cupcake. She turned 26, a wee babe.

She made a wish but was tight lipped about it

And then OF COURSE we played Rock Band for hours - it's been a month and we're still going strong...

Cera on drums, she has the cocky pose down

Megan on bass in a very relaxed position

And here is Cera giving me lip when I'm telling her it's her turn to play the guitar but all she wanted to do was play with Dolly

Ok, that's all I have from her birthday. I've been doing contract work with Scripps and I went to Nashville on Sunday night for a roast. It was much fun and I was able to see all of my old friends from the outer offices. I don't have any photos though, my bad.

Matt took Lottie Sue on a drive around the yard in her pink car. Here are a few photos of the adorable one...

Pink nose/cold nose

Beep beep!

Listen buddy, I have the right of way - not you

Ooh, and here are some recently scanned photos.

This is our mom with Cera as a baby

This is GranBunny as a newborn - I think she and Lottie Sue look alike, especially in the eyes

Here I am, looks like I broke into GranBunny's makeup and applied it myself - with my eyes closed

A full shot in GranBunny's kitchen, this ensemble has a lot going on (I've always been fashion forward)

And now for a few random shots of Lottie Sue - I almost forgot - she has a tooth coming in! Two are there but only one is making the move currently. I simply can't wait to see her with teeth.

Playing in the floor after a nap

Put your feet in the air, wave them round like you just don't care

In the jumper, jumping away

Moments before she was talking into the microphone, but she was going to town on this piano

Alrighty, I'm out going to sign off for now. I hope everyone is enjoying life!
