MIssouri vs. Kansas Game

Kyle's dad got tickets to the MU vs. KU game the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It was about 40 degrees and dropped down to the lower 30's. VERY cold.... Thankfully once we got in the stadium it was much warmer. This game was HUGE. It was packed out and people were crazy for their teams.


Since Kyle went to the the university of Missouri-Rolla, and his brother Skyler is currently attending Kansas, the family was split in their loyalties. Kyle's mom and sister decided to take up the Kansas side of things, much to Kyle's dismay.

It was a cold, but fun night. Thankfully for Kyle's sake Missouri won out and he was a happy man. (I don't think Skyler cared even a tiny bit who won) I think this last pic is hilarious. It looks so sweet, but I was actually slapping his mouth, because he wouldn't cooperate for the picture. :-) His sister just happened to catch it. We did have one annoying incident. There was a fan sitting behind Kyle's mom who wasn't with it enough to handle his "cold beverage" without spilling it on Kyle's mom every five minutes. She finally gave him a look, and he got in her face and started screaming at her that it was no big deal. I thought we were going to have WWIII, but thankfully no fights were started. But then I turned around and saw Kyle's mom, who is a sweetheart, with big tears in her eyes--that is the closest I have ever come to actually getting up and socking someone right in the nose!! I convinced her to move a couple of seats away from him and probably two minutes later, the guy dropped his whole drink in her seat. Some people are just beyond rude. If I would have been thinking, I would have gotten security to get him out of there. But even with that, we had a good time. Kyle had fun with his family and friends all in one place, and it had a good ending--at least for the MS fans.

My new photography job....

SO, I had my first practice sessions a couple of weeks ago. They told me to have people I know come in and I could take their pics for practice. SO I scheduled three people--WAY too close together. I felt bad because they had to wait.

I did my brother and his family first, but the baby kept crying so we didn't get too many of them. For some reason every time my sister in law tries to send me the pictures, they won't load, so I can't share any of them. The other people that I took pictures of were two boys that are kids of a friend of mine that I play volleyball with. They turned out really cute as well. But I can't show you them either.

Thankfully, though, I can show you the pics of Elizabeth. I hate to say it, but she was as easy as pie. She was in a great mood and was a little ham. Obviously we took many more than these, but these are a few of my favorites. I loved taking the pics, but we are so busy, I don't know as I will be able to practice again til after Christmas and then I don't know if I will even have a job there. :-) SO I guess we'll see. Oh yeah, the ZAZZLE is a watermark they put on the online pics so people won't print them out. So that is why that word is through all the pics.

more kids....

Teresa was complaining that I don't have any new pics so I thought I would post the few that I do have. Not that she has anything to complain aobut. Her postings are so few and far between if it was food I would hav been dead by now. :-) This is a pic of the Dewitt kids. They are so cute and fun to watch. It is really hard to get a good pic of all four of them though!

This is Timmy the youngest. He is such a cuddly doll baby.

And here is my KK. Love that girl!

A little bit of this and that....

Well, I am really disappointed in myself. I went trick or treating with the kids and totally forgot my camera. I can't believe I would do that. I always go trick or treating with my kids and this year I convinced my friend Rhoda and her 1 yr old, Elizabeth, to go with us. They live in Cincinnati where it probably isn't the best place to go trick or treating. ;-) Elizabeth was so cute! She would hold the bucket out, they would put candy in, and then she would wave. SO adorable. Towards the end of the night, her bucket was so heavy she had to hold it with two hands, we started talking about going home and she started saying, "Mo, Mo" Too cute. By the way for those of you who don't know baby talk that means MORE! :-) All in all we had a lot of fun, and it was a beautiful night.

I am now employed at Kenwood mall as a sales person for the christmas season at the Picture People. It has been interesting to get to know this side of the picture taking business. I don't know if I will stay after Christmas we will have to see how it goes. So far it is going well, and it is all very interesting, which I like. SO if anyone wants to get their pics taken come on over and visit us! :-)
