off-color updates.....

"Families are like fudge--

mostly sweet with a few nuts."

I have a unique family.

We have lots of fun, but truth is you never ever know what might happen next.  With big daddy and off color daughter, one never knows what one will say or how off color it might be. 

Off color son has been busy turning seventeen and his sister turned sixteen (no she doesn't want to get her drivers liscence but we are going to make her--big daddy made her drive the other day she didn't know the difference between the gas and the brake---off color son said.....I was behind them...it was scary.

Off color son has finished his basketball seasons but is already practicing for the next...he might be short but he is sneaky--he can steal from the biggest man on the court---and can shoot a mean 3-point shot or drive up the center amongst the big men.

Here you will find some highlights of the past few weeks to catch you up on all the off color tales.....





 

A Sunday afternoon hiking trip with big daddy and his crooked stick.....looking sexy hot with his new water pack...although it did take him quite awhile to learn how to suck the water up through the hose....but finally he mastered the technique with a bit of help from his sexy hot mama......

ooo...la...la......look at those muscles!!!



 My favorite 'goddess' from the African exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum. I took off color daughter and two of her off color friends there and we spent the day.  The highlight of the ride was getting lost and driving past a barber shop with the name

Lil nappy hair Barber....

we would have taken a picture but we were really lost and trying to find the street sign to get us to the museum.

off-color daughter's friends--Katie and Dru---tagged along.

We enjoyed the exhibits by Nick Cave and the African art.

I also enjoyed listening to them talk about everything and everyone.  K. taught us all that "when you gotta go...you gotta go....even if it means to go behind a tree in a parking garage in a plastic cup. ...way to go Katie.

D. was the quietest passenger in the car.

It was a very enjoyable trip except for the constant rain all day long.

 Off Color daughter in Leather and Lace.  She is almost as sexy hot as her mama....

almost.

Norman (Noah) was not her date...I made them pretend for just a moment...though they do look cute together.  That is their fake couple hug.

Basketball season ended for off color son....he is intense as you can see....short but talented.  He scored 35 points in one of his games this season....not bad for a short white boy....and not bad for a boy with some of my coordination genes.

The pics below are from "off color daughter's birthday celebration"

 Hannah tard...otherwise known as the dog whisperer...the only person I know who brings her dog to a party at the park....way to go Hannah tard!!!

The off color family is really sweet...

makes life worth living..

Hope you've enjoyed a mini-update of off color family tales..

Happy night...
