Well fellow bloggers tell me what you think. Brooks is a few months older than his Dad in his picture but I think they're too similar to be picky about. I considered doing the wave on top but I didn't want to give Brooks more reasons to place me in a nursing home when I'm old and incontinent. I'd actually rather he call Dr. Krevorkian then. We all know I'm gonna be one of those crabby old bags who spouts out profanities worse than a drunken sailor. Not to mention all the holes I'll be kicking in the wall because I won't be able to get my stupid walker through the bathroom door fast enough. Some people cry, yell, or throw things (cheeto puffs to be exact but I refuse to provide a name right now) when they get mad, but I prefer to make voids in the drywall. As a matter of fact, if you'd like, you may scroll down to Brooks' b-day post and see the unfinished patch up job on the wall behind him in the Spiderman photo. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's better than beating the children correct? However, that particular day it was my dear husband's booty I wanted to bash in. My sister, the Home Depot veteran, provided the mending kit. Thanks Lynn.
Where the heck was I going with this anyways? It's better to write during daytime hours but that's impossible with small children. Children...yes, that's where I'm headed with all this, so I'd appreciate your opinion on whether you think I had anything to do with Brooks' gene pool. I gained 50 lbs. while I carried him for crap's sake, you'd think he'd get more from me than attitude and temperamant.
I just added the picture of Emma because she's pretty. My sis-n-laws were complaining about school photos and I didn't understand. I don't mean to brag, but she really is beautiful. Steve's already talking about homeschooling her when she turns 13. Just kidding E.J., we'll let ya go to public school but you'll be closely supervised by your father. I'm sorry ahead of time about the "running man" he's going to bust out in front of your friends. I wish I were joking about it too.I would've posted a picture of me at E.J.'s age, but for those who don't know, I'm the middle child. I think I had a professional picture taken when I turned one and then again when I celebrated my 16th birthday. I'm prepared to hear about this from every angle so bring it on Mom and Hermanas. You both have more pictures than me and you know it. It's ok Mom, I'm totally over hearing about the "baby" my whole life and settling for the lame Hardy Boy iron-on shirt. Val got Shaun Cassidy so I had to settle for gay Parker Stevenson across my torso. I didn't even remember his name, I just looked it up on google. I'll spare everyone the tearful details of my childhood, because I am my Mom's favorite now. I'm fairly sure I'm Dad's as well. My apologies sisters, they're just making up for lost attention.

Oh puke, I was going to say how cute this post was with Brooksie, Steven and Emms. THEN you had to go and throw in the middle child crap. Whatever, tell yourself all you want your the favorite. We all now *I* am. I am the baby after all.
That's just plain funny. Not just funny. It's freakin' hillarious! I mean the whole thing. Brooks' resemblance to his old man, you're old-age ramblings, the middle child rant, all of it. And Emma is pretty! :)
Oh...I think I'M incontinent now. Where are my depends?? Brooks IS the spitting image of the Stever...and I don't need to see a picture of you to know that Emma is a mini-Angie. Just refer to the family photo. Oh- and I'm thinking more along the lines of a padded white-walled room for you when you're in your elderly state. I have a feeling the alzheimers is going to be in full effect and there won't be a curse word in the book that you wouldn't use. You'll be like my GG Baker who always thought I was a boy when we went to see her in the home. It's a PONY-TAIL!!! I'm still scarred for life. So do Emma Jade's Grand-daughter a favor...just get the padded room, friend.
Hilarious! I have middle child syndrome as well..... Talking to my mom on the phone she just says krystle this krystle that! SHUTUP ALREADY! haha Just kidding MOM.
Angie, your blog is sooooo funny! I didn't realize Brooks looked so much like Steven! I have always thought Emma was beautiful, and she does look just like you... I can relate to the no pictures thing, I have no idea what I looked like as a child! great post, thanks for the laugh!
