Hulet Summer Hootenanny



I almost had to write this entire post with the words underlined. It's not that I think friends and family should read my prose with extra care. I just couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Now that I have it off, I kinda wish I could underline a favorite word or two.


Grandma knows that the way to Annie's heart is with a good marshmallow bribe.







Seeing these "bare" swimming bodies reminded me of a little Disney trivia tidbit. Did you know that the voice for Balloo the Bear is also the voice of Little John the Bear in Robin Hood and O'Malley the Alley Cat in Aristocats?



EB's surprise coming home from UT a week after me was that she chopped her hair! It's shorter than it's ever been before, but she was ready to do something crazy for the big 3-0. 10" cut pony tails are accepted by "Locks of Love" to make wigs for cancer survivors.


My mullet is only 4" so far, so I'll post a picture once my neck curtain is ready to ship out, or once I look as good as this guy:

My sideline project will be to grow a manly goatee. The pic below is 5 intense days worth of hair growth, so I believe that more extreme measures are justified. Does Rogaine work for the face?

Annie may seem excited about her ride in a big wheel, but she told me afterward that she was only elated because she was no longer forced to destroy the ozone in our gas-hungry SUV and she was one upping the pious Prius owners by going completely electric. Little does she know, my Cannondale tops them all.


EB's 30th birtday bash! We had to hide the disco ball and glow sticks, clean up the foam, and change out of our reflective hammer pants just to take this photo.
Annie's poor little leg and hand! She keeps getting these huge blisters from what we think are just mosquito bites. Can you be allergic to mosquitos?



Most kids play outside on their front or back lawn. Annie has a carpeted L-shaped hallway to trundle back and forth in and a magic box that opens when see reeeeeaches for her favorite button.

Betrothed at age 2.

That is soo cute! Annie is such a good singer. Nathan was so excited to see Annika on the computer. Those are really cute pictures. I did a couple of new posts on our blog too.

I was also going to say that she kind of reminds me of Nicole when she sings Jingle Bells on that Christmas video. It is so cute.

Fabulous pics. I need to get a copy of the one of Ches and Anni. I thought you and Eric were donating your shavings to hair in a can? You still need to post a nice video of Anni's bootie shake. She was doing it here yesterday and just cracking me up. Too cute!
