Caught


This is my cousin Jenna.?? (The very vocal team Edward member hee hee).?? She is 14 and I love her to pieces.?? I am thankful that sister Jamie does not read my blog because if she did, she would likely notice that Jenna and I raided her closet and borrowed her green jacket.?? If you are going to do something sneaky, you really should burn the evidence.?? My brothers used to incriminate themselves all the time doing this.?? They would “borrow” each others clothing and then hotly deny it.?? Low and behold a picture would show up with the said accused sporting the missing item.?? CAUGHT!?? Sister always laughed when someone got outted this way.?? I also recall an “outing” that sister did NOT laugh at.?? Several years ago a picture surfaced of my brother DAVID with some chic that he took to a dance.???? David noticeably paled when he saw me studying the picture.?? Odd.?? The girl in the photo was wearing a beautiful double heart western belt buckle that…strangely…looked EXACTLY like the one that had gone missing years prior.?? I looked E V E R Y W H E R E for my favorite buckle and it never turned up.???? That was not the first time one of my brothers STOLE (and I do mean stole because it was never returned to the said owner – ME) something of mine to gift to a girlfriend.?? Daniel had also been known to raid my stuff.?? Isn’t that aggravating???? Maybe Tori will get off easy being the youngest girl and her brothers won’t think to commit such crimes against her.?? Really, all four of my brothers should go in on a rather expensive gift for my birthday just to compensate me don’t you think??? LOL.??

Back to first birthday pictures.?? The one above was one of my favorites.?? Just the kind of moment I was hoping for.?? Question for you.?? Am I posting too many pictures??? Does it drastically increase your load time when I post more than say three pictures at a time??? They are small low res files so that should help.?? I have a terrible time making up my mind and narrowing down to just a few.?? Besides that, family members will never see all these precious pictures unless they are on my blog.??

Thought this was cute of brothers playing together.

  1. I love this picture of Jenna. Is she not one of the sweetest girls in the whole world? Jenna we love you! And Doni, I do agree, your brothers should definitely go in on a very expensive gift for you! While I’m thinking of it, is there anything Jim wants that David has? I mean, I could “get” it for you if you know what I mean;). And no, you aren’t posting too many pictures. Keep them coming, capturing those moments is what it’s all about.

  2. Yep, no special download time at all….post all the pictures you want! Love the “caught” concept and yes, an expensive gift is definitely in order!

  3. No extra download time for me, either!

    Jenna – You’re a doll! The Simpson’s love you, too!

    I think Aimee’s on to something! Too funny!

  4. Jenna has beautiful eyes!
    I love the pictures! I don’t think you can ever have too many. It’s not slowing down my load time. so keep them comming.
    I love the foot picture of Tori!
    WOW the boys look so BIG in those pictures. They sure do grow up fast!

  5. oh yeah! it’s amazing to me that you’re brothers would STEAL from you to give to their girlfriends. I can’t even comprehend that!

  6. no, in fact, i don’t think you post enough. i’m always still thirsty for more when i leave your blog. ๐Ÿ™‚

    love the brothers playing – perfect ‘caught’ moment. and looove the toes pictures. the whole look of it, color, shadow… i like it, i feel it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    jenna – that girl has some AMAZING eyes doesn’t she? SOOOO pretty.

    YOUR brothers – good gracious they owe you BIG time. david ought to be on ebay right this very second trying to find you that exact belt buckle – or at LEAST a gorgeous brighton linked heart necklace (hint hint) to make up for it. I’ll make it easy on him. ๐Ÿ™‚ Here’s a list of stores in Scottsdale: http://www.brightonretailers.com/locator/results_list.php?city=scottsdale&citysearch=Go / Here’s a list of stores in Glendale (note Arrowhead mall) http://www.brightonretailers.com/locator/results_list.php?city=glendale&citysearch=Go – and boys? This is one situation where a gift certificate would do VERY nicely as well. Then sister will maintain the forgiveness in her heart, and might still talk about the story, but she’ll never again say “YOU OWE ME!” Let me just encourage that part of you that likes to get off the hook… here’s your chance. From one sibling to another, hear me out. ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. sidenote on the gift certificate – purchase it at the store sissy will be shopping at – they aren’t transferable to other stores with Brighton.

  8. No you definitely do not post too many pictures. And I can’t believe your brothers! You definitely deserve one AWESOME gift. Oh dear, I can only imagine what Rachel’s future may hold smashed in between 3 brothers…maybe 4. We will find out on the 17th!

  9. Love them and don’t have any problems loading them. The picture I
    Of tori in the basket reminds me of winnie the pooh!!! Love them

  10. Hahaha. I think Aimee’s plan rocks..what a loving Sister in love to go out of her way and offer to ‘hook you up’ with some goods. Just too funny!!! Oh and they sooo owe you!! My 3 brothers have done the same stuff to me. I thin your onto something good about them going in on a gift.

    Pictures are fine loading for me too and I’ve got a computer who likes to load slow,but your pics come right up. I agree with Heidi,the more the merrier. 5 or less is just not enough ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ok..so I wanna know how tall your boys are ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. That is a lovely picture of Jenna. Love the hood (always!).

    You can never post too many pictures. Impossible.

  12. Darlin, just be glad you didn’t have TOOLS! They stopped pilfering your things, but mine are still up for grabs. I can never seem to find the tool, fishing pole, gun, socks, Binocs, lazer range finder, tackle box, and the list goes on…I am looking for. I do get aggrivated some times but the truth is I would rather lose every possession I own for a life time than lose the relationship I have with my boys. They do borrow a lot, but they give me so much more in return. At least, with some effort I can track it down eventually. Darin is easiest. He always says he left it at Walmart! I have my revenge anyway: Graham, Noah, Tanner, Ty, Zane are all making my point for me. Like Graham said to Daniel the other day, “Dad, why do you go so CRAZY when we take your tools?” It’s genetic!

  13. don’t you love it when your kids get paid back by their own kids?

    i love papa z’s perspective though… tools can be replaced – our kids are priceless…. but they still owe doni some brighton. ๐Ÿ™‚

    and i just caught aimee’s willingness to gather gifts for you to give to YOUR boyfriend… aimee is a genius – AND sweetheart.

  14. Doni,

    If you can show me one outfit that you currently have that requires the use of a western double hearted belt buckle i will buy you one. I think that particular piece died with rockies. I will however steal one of Aimees 100 montana silversmith items and give it to you. She has never worn any of them and has recently been somewhat catty on this blog to her perfect husband.

    I love you
    David

  15. Doni,
    The worst, by far was a pic that someone took of David and I in high school. It was on some trip, and we we’re rappelling, great picture…until your dad saw it. He had a funny look on his face, and it immediately dawned on me why I was about to get whooped up on. Your dad calmly pointed out that I was wearing HIS t-shirt, HIS hat, HIS belt, HIS socks, and HIS shorts! It was horrible, but it’s not like I could borrow clothes from any of your other brothers, they’re all midgets compared to your dad and I.

    And, it’s pretty tough to argue about who’s tool is who’s, ever since your dad spraypainted EVERYTHING he owned with bright yellow paint! I thought he’d go for the truck, the house, and his horse…I’m sure it crossed his mind!

  16. yellow spraypaint… GREAT idea!!! i’ll have to give that tip to jason one day as seth gets older. ๐Ÿ™‚

    and david is CLEARLY not reading ALL of the comments… someone please clue him in… FORGET THE BELT BUCKLE – REPLACE IT WITH BRIGHTON – BRIGHTON – BRIGHTON… she’ll never harass you about this again if you just go brighton. (ok, i am making that promise about never harassing you, not doni, so i can’t guarantee it… but i CAN guarantee that she’ll forever cherish the replacement BRIGHTON heart necklace that her brother gave her to replace it… hint hint hint hint hint….)

    (did i go far enough with this yet doni? should i add to it?) ๐Ÿ˜‰
