Lets flashback...

I was looking through all the pics I had on my computer and posted a few of my favorite ones.
A walk down memory lane.

My dad took these when I was visiting last year. I am faking it of course, but it looks like I am really digging for gold so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me.

This is me and Mylan at Christmas 2004. Mylan is 4 years old, soon to be 5.


I made this super hero cape for Mylan when we first moved into our house in 2005. He loved it!

He would run around the house pretending to fly and sing, "Dah, dah, dah, daah! Mr. M!'

Super hero's need a little break once in a while too.

2005-One day Mylan stuffed a pillow into his shirt and ran around the house saying that he had a jiggly belly!

He'd sing, "Jiggly belly! Jiggly belly!" It was hilarious.


Halloween 2005-Mylan wore a dragon costume. He often wore it around the house and played in it.

2005-Mylan sticking Sissy's toe up his nose.

Christmas 2008-Grandpa David asleep. I should make this a future Christmas card one year and Darla's hat picture another year. Hee-Hee!

Halloween 2008-Me and Larry dressed as hippies. Wow, we look terrible!

2008-Mylan waiting until he is to go for catcher position. He looks tough in this picture like he means business.


In loving memory of Romo the hamster.
She lived a short but fun filled life with our family December 2007 to October 2008.
We will miss you Romo.

Me and my little bro's and sis's: Me, Shonda, Stephen, Rebecca, Michael. This is such a fun picture!

Mylan got to meet and get an autograph from Fred bird the St. Louis Cardinals mascot while attending a baseball camp in St Louis, MO 2008.

Me and my friend Libby at her wedding last year.
Congrats Libby and Jason!

Basket ball season has begun

Mylan is now playing in a competitive basketball league through the YMCA. His team is called the Panthers. He knows most of his team mates because they were on his baseball team. Last weekend was their first tournament and they won both games!
Go Panthers!!
Here is a few random pictures I took during the games. Mylan is jersey number 2.




Mylan is in the middle running.

In this picture Mylan is helping his team mate, Jackson #20, up after falling.

Mylan running some more.


Mylan and his team making practice shots.



Fun with stickers!

Mylan decided to put some foam stickers on himself and walked around the house saying, "I'm so fashion!" What a goof ball. But I guess I am a goof ball too since he got me involved which isn't hard to do.


Boys will be boys...


Roller blading with Shonda

Looks like Shonda is all set and ready to go roller blading!


Shonda tries a few unsuccessful tricks.

Betcha didn't know that Shonda knitted that stocking cap herself.

Christmas with Larry's family in Arkansas 2008

The day after Christmas Larry and I drove to Arkansas to spend the weekend with his Dad, Step-mom, Granny, Sister and Bro-in-law. It has been man years since his dad had both Larry and Darla together for Christmas. Darla lives in Houston Texas.

While they had us all there together they decided to take to opportunity to give us some of Grandpa Edward Bakers things that they've had sorted for us and in storage.


Looks like Grandpa David is playing peek-a-boo with me! What a goof ball!

Sorting through the many, many boxes.

Nice hat Darla! Hee-hee! (Sorry folks, it's an inside joke!)

Granny Ina opening some Christmas gifts.

Connie and David opening some Christmas gifts.


Larry was so excited to find this old box of newspaper clippings. Theses were old sports newspaper clipping that he had hanging on his walls as a kid and his step-mom saved them for his all these years!

Christmas Evening at Nathaniel's house 2008

My family decided that this year we would gather at Nathaniel and Pasha's house for Christmas evening.

Here is Shonda and Mike. Looks like they found the food!

And so did Mylan! Celery anyone?

Mylan showing Nathaniel a new game he got for Christmas.

Mylan can always count on Shonda to get into a little wrestling fun!


Looks like he can count on Nathaniel for a little rough housing too!
