Gimme a 'C'...

Flashback to October 2008
It's been almost a year since Trish (a.k.a. Tippy) and I went to Disneyland with Rhianne's family...Disney does Halloween like no other! We had a marvelous time and can't wait to get back (with other nieces and nephews, of course, since they all want in next time!!)

Tippy may be tipsy...

I had to run some errands tonight and my smallish roommates wanted to join me, and since they are a BLAST, it was an easy decision! So after hitting the TMobile store and the mall (where we met Bij, Joey and G for some grub) we stopped by The Sev (ie 7-11) for a quick DC (diet coke) and took some crap back to Walms (of course that one's WalMart). On the way I met some "interesting" (to put it mildly) characters--all from Tippy's imagination, I think she was tired :)

Whilst I'm paying for said DC, I get this little "put all your money in a bag" from behind and turn to see THIS staring me down! Spooky...

Then, as we exited my car at the Walm, she found my goggles, don't you worry about WHY they were in my console...but she insisted on wearing them inside. Next thing I know, she's asking for 50 cents to make a call...

And as I'm exiting the bathroom, I find her sitting on a bench, pants pulled WAY up (Gene Kelly style, rest his fabulous soul...), flipping through a crossword puzzle book!

Hyrum cheesin' it...with a blurry Tippy sneaking in...

It was basically hilarious! SO much more fun than running errands on my own!

Nobody puts Baby in a corner!

I just heard that Patrick Swayze died today, at the age of 57, from pancreatic cancer. Instead of remembering him with a moment of silence (my house is quiet, so that counts) or shedding a tear or two on his behalf (I loved him, but can't squeeze out even one tear right now), I decided to create a photo shrine to his memory, including most of my favorite moments of him (notice how most of them show off his body and/or his dancing--that was no accident, my friend!)

Patrick, honey, this is for you!

You're gonna hurt me if you don't trust me

Come here, Loverboy!

I remember how fat Baby looks next to Penny (Penny's knocked up, Baby) which just proves how utterly tiny Penny was!

He wouldn't know a good idea if it hit him in the pachenga

I said, come here loverboy!

Sexiest man alive in 1991, hmm, let's see, I was 15...I don't even think I saw "Dirty Dancing" for another year or so!

She's like the wind

Johnny Castle and Baby doing their thing~

Sylvia? Yes, Mickey. How do you call your loverboy? Come here, loverboy! And if he doesn't answer? Oh, loverboy! And if he STILL doesn't answer? I simply say BABY...ohh, baby, my sweet baby, you're the one.

Oh I love a man who can dance!!

And one who looks this good doing it!

I had a dream I was your guy

I carried a watermelon??

Mostly, I'm afraid of walking out of this room and never feeling about anyone the way I feel about you right now...

The rumba is something you feel...like a heartbeat. Ga-goom, ga-goom

Becca and I got such a kick out of this part, where she can't let his hand go down her side without laughing~we just smiled the whole way through! We saw this movie together for the first time when I was probably 16 and Bec 15. We rebellously rented this and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"! We watched "Dirty Dancing" then GJWTHF, then "Dirty Dancing" AGAIN all in the same night, because we loved it THAT much! We saw it together multiple times after that over the years :)

Speaking of Becca, she just GOT ENGAGED!! And I'm SO happy for her!

It looks like they were having the time of their lives....

Ahhh, the lift.

I found this great pic online of him doing some TV series, and I just thought he looked lovely :)

And who can (or wants to) forget this little number on SNL! You KNOW Chris Farley's funny if he's on stage with a half-naked Patrick Swayze and no one's looking at Swayze!!

Who can forget the "North and South" in the 80's?! It was a miniseries on every Sunday night for a couple months, and my family was watching until the sex scene (couldn't have been TOO revealing, since it was the 80's!!) I remember sneaking up to watch it after it was banned from our house!

I'm thinking he was the South cause of that remarkable accent! (Just an FYI, he reminds me SO much of my friend Rob--lookswise and the accent too--I just love those Southern boys....)

Rest in peace, eye candy!

JOSHUA HENRY WILSON

5 months

Several weeks ago Amy asked me to take pictures of Josh in his blessing outfit (which Tammy originally made for Hyrum for his blessing 8 years ago). We've been busy so it took awhile to coordinate schedules to do this--but we realized we were running out of time cause Buggy is getting so chubby...as you can see by the size of his ample thighs! So the other night I created a make-shift photo studio on my bed and squeezed him in the sweet little outfit one more time...here's the adorable results of our venture!

Hoping we can make this quick...

Smiley boy

Mesmorized by one of his sisters, who were all trying to coax a smile out of him

Ah, there's my Mellie!

Such a sweet, kissable face (he requires about 30 thousand kisses per day just to function!)

I love this one (even with Amy's hand keeping him upright!) cause it's the BEST smile!

He kept looking down, trying to figure out that afghan underneath him, and it made his pinchable cheeks just perfect!

Darling baby...

Feeling like a big boy cause he was sitting up (with his mother's help, of course!)

So stinkin cute!!!

I love this mouth! Getting a little sleepy, Josh??!

Huge Wilson eyes!

Two little shoes for two little feet....(also made by Tam)

Three nano-seconds after stripping off his clothes, he was THIS excited!

He's definitely an angel baby and we just can't get enough of him!

Aunt Mellie loves you, Joshy Bug!!!
