Eyeball Quiz VIII

Who's eyeball is this???


__________________________________


Everybody totally nailed that one except for Chris Nelson. Yeah, that is Jason Anthony Tait and here is the proof:

Obsession

So this is how you are likely to see Willow these days...holding her most precious item in the world: her "ba ba."

Not one hour goes by without Willow either thinking about a bottle and then pleading for one, or seeing her empty bottle and pleading for it to be filled.

Sometimes I test her love for her baba and attach a 'bedtime' rider and she always opts for the baba, even at the cost of bedtime.

Occasionally, she will stand at the fridge and hold on to the handle and hang her head and mournfully beg for a baba.

She likes milk so much that she is just about at her peak happiness at the grocery store when, sitting in the cart seat, she is squeezed on either side by a fresh gallons of milk. She just leans back and soaks up the experience. She is in flavor country. Then she absolutely looses it when we have to take the milk out of the cart and pack it in the back of the car, reaching out for it and crying as if she will never see milk again.

Lately we've had to ration her milk so she is actually hungry for food. If given the choice between her baba and a pile of candy there can be no doubt that Willow would choose the baba.

Supercar

So that enourmous boat that we can cram our whole family into averaged that gas mileage up there on the trip. What a deal.

Another Great-Grandchild


Saturday we went to Muskegon to visit Grandma Lillian and show her Juneau. Also there were Mom and Dad, Cheryl, Walker, Taylor, Aunt Lynn, Aunt Louise, Ann, Kathey, Danny, Karen, and Buzz.

Dangerous


That sure is a pack of trouble up there, but don't you fret none.
Bear was given a voucher for his birthday from Grandma Chris and Grampa Burt for a picture from one of those old time photo booth places. Last weekend he got to collect on Mackinac Island and picked out the people, the scene, and the style.

Eyeball Quiz VII



Who is this person???

_____________________


Stephen, Cassandra, and Carol...you got it absolutely right. That eyeball up there belongs to the one and only Susan Marie Pasquali. Suzie is the daughter of a two-time Olympic boxer, driver of a pristine 1982 Corvette, planner of an enormously successful shotgun wedding, owner of various small animals over time, high school salutatorian, and the only person I can imagine as having raised Danielle Pasquali. She is able to sum up very complicated scenarios in short and sassy bits of wisdom that eliminate argument. She was set up on a date with a wild Italian football player and ended up marrying his quietier and more dangerous Michael Corleone-ish brother.
Here is the proof:

KFC Secret recipe???

I googled to find the secret recipe and found this...anyone willing to test it out???

2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon basil leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon marjoram leaves, crushed finely

Mix together 4 teaspoons mixture, 1 cup flour, 2 Tbls. packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoons salt. Place in a doubled plastic food bag and add chicken to coat. Fry, drain on paper towels, serve!

President Bear M Nelson




So, Bear says that some day he would like to be President of the United States of America...when asked why he said it was because he has lots of good ideas. We then naturally asked what these ideas were..."Well, i would lower taxes and all lego guys would be $1!" I would totally vote for you Bear, those sound like the best ideas yet!!! -Love, Mom

Asian Style

So, I never desired to ride a motorcycle before, until i noticed cute asian chicks at MSU riding around on crotch rockets. I never had admired crotch rockets before, but rather preferred the classic Indian style motorcycles, if I had to choose....but i now, thanks to asian chicks, realize that they are rather well suited to the female species. Asian, specifically Japanese, girls have a style i want to copy unrepentantly. I like their clothes, i like their bikes (motor and non-motor alike) their backpacks and goofy ballerina costumes with high socks i saw one wearing on campus the other day, and even their poker straight, very thick, course black hair that is always styled effortlessly and looks great, even better when dyed to a dark brown. Their petite, slim stature doesn't hurt either. That's it....i think i'm turning japanese...i really think so!
Love- Dani
That's the future me in the middle...the tall pale one




By the way....you're all getting scarves for christmas.......you're welcome!!!

Couple of Videos


Here we are at Millies on Main on Mackinaw Island. John is unaware that a video is being taken and instead thinks Danielle is balking at taking a picture so he keeps shifting his face into various stupid poses that he thinks would make a funny picture.

Here is Willow doing three of her favorite things: saying hereyago, bluntly attending to Juneau, and doing sniffly sideways breathing through a scrunched up nose.
