ode to missy

missy, missy, missy

it seems you've thrown a little hissy

over a picture on my blog

of your head back & sawing logs

of course, i didn't mean to make you mad

make you cry and scream and be sad

so now let me try to explain

(though my defense you may find lame)

I posted that picture in fun

Just like I would've done to anyone

Had it been Ken, Matt, or even Addie Lou

Their drooling pics would be on here too

But alas it was YOU who fell asleep

Totally zonked, not even making a peep

How could I resist such a photo op?

We were giggling about it non stop!

But now let me please repeat

that I meant absolutely NO deceit 

I think Missy Mae is 'da bomb

And of course if the finest of moms

She's so funny and nice and cute

And has a nice ass to boot 

She's a great wife, mother, and friend

And i'll love her til the end

(even if she now hates me

and wants to drown me in the sea)

So please know that I'm so, so sorry

And think you're better than the Mata Hari!

I love you Missy.

Perhaps I can make it up to you by posting some 

rather unattractive pictures of myself 

(thank you photo booth on my mac):

our last day :(

addie

elise riding a white buffalo (?) in cody, wyoming

spaz

after our 4wheelin' ride

suiting up for an early morning ride up the banncok in 'big red'--a coat that missy's dad made

carefully crossing the river

matt crossing the log he knocked into the river for me to cross--right before he fell in. thank goodness for gortex shoes!

ride 'em cowboy...er girl.

matthew's family

purtty mountains

elise was a total trooper

so matt heard a noise the first morning at the cabin but didn't see anything out the window. later that morning we found huge bear tracks all around the cabin (a grizzley was shot in august after having broken into a few of the cabins up there).

that thayne family cabin...our home away from home!

elise and her pink boots. they were about two sizes two big and watching her waddle around in them was one of the cutest things ever.

missy & addie

on our way to the cabin we stopped at the 'boiling river' in mammoth so the boys could take a dip. you couldn't have paid me enough to go in...it was freaking freezing outside.

all bundled up

after having squash for lunch. yum.

and we're off

cooke city, here we come! we're taking off tonight with 

ken, missy and girls (elise & adele) for a few days of relaxation and snuggling in their lovely montana cabin. 

maybe we won't come back.

four years ago when we went (right after we started dating)

and a shout out to my bitchin' mama who is letting us take 

her car so we can all drive together.  love you blockhead.

a truly spooktacular event

matt and i decided to keep with tradition this year and have a halloween party at my parents place in charleston. we didn't take nearly enough pictures, but the ones we do have are gold:

christopher k.

making all the girls jealous

starting the squat thrusts...

the gang:

beach bums, mario & luigi, super heros, 'cereal' killers, cowboys

it was so nice to see everyone (minus ryan & megan), catch up, hang out, and play the ever wonderful dice game.

until next year.

mac-alicious

enjoy

fish face

pop!

matt's model face...

the two headed beasts

munchkin

i look so freaking ugly.  words can't describe...
