The Children Diehl!

Oh my dudes.  And, by dudes, I’m not just talking about the dudes of the male gender.  I’m talking to all my dudes.  Woman and man alike.  You are all my dudes.  And, my dudes, I have sweet bippy news for you.

Yep.  You guessed it.  Once again the doors to the Otis & James Center for Fun, Fun Related Activities, The Study of Fun, and Quilting (O&JCFFFRATSOFAQ) opened up, and our holiday season became complete with another visit by an absolutely wonderful group that we like to call The Family Diehl!

In fact, all sorts of people all them The Family Diehl – but we call them part of the o&j family, as they have been with us for many a year now!  From when it was just the Otis & The James, to now, with the army of people that are chained up in the basement answering phones and packaging orders (it’s all legal…I swear…I think…just forget I said anything about it) – they’ve been with us every step of the way!

So, it was again with much joy that we welcomed them into FunCenter for some sweetlysweet holiday pictosnaps, as when they come through the doors, you know that Christmas is getting close!  They’re kind of like the metaphorical stockings over the metaphorical o&j fireplace – the holidays just wouldn’t be the same without them!

Before I get to weird with the analogies, I think we need to stop all of these silly words, offer up a big ol’ bowl of MuchLove & ManyThanks to The Family Diehl for once again giving us some of their sweet & precious time, and to tell all of our good people out there in Land of Blog as they sleep the night away to – Enjoy!

The Family Kubas!

Here’s the story.  I’m not gonna give you all sorts of crazy long drawn out made up words that are barely held together in some sort of a mental-breakdown fashion like I normally do.  Nope.  We’re gonna skip all of that.

Take a second to breathe a sigh of relief.  I don’t blame you…it’s OK.  Alright, now that we got that over with, I’m just gonna straight shoot this thing.  I don’t even know what that means, but I’m gonna do it.  So, here’s the deal.  There are some things in the world of the Otis & The James that we wait all year long for.  Like, State Fair food.  Or national Weiner Dog Day.  And…the day the one and only Family Kubas comes on through the doors of the FunCenter to give us some sweet sweet holiday cheer by letting us take their family pictosnaps!

So, you can see how excited we were (even more so than on National Weiner Dog Day) when they once again graced us with their presence in FunCenter!  And, as usual, they were all totally awesome!  But I think we’ve had enough of all these words braggin’ it all up, and I think it should instead be the time when we put all of these silly words away, sit back in our chairs, and take in the totallyawesome samplesnaps of this awesome family!  Before we do, we can’t forget to give a bit ol’ MuchLove & ManyThanks to The Family Kubas for stopping by, and to all my good citizens of Blogville keeping the neighborhood safe & keeping it real – Enjoy!

Cashly & Wanda!

Check this out.  You ready?  Alright.  Because here I go.  I’m not gonna delay any more.  Nope.  I’m gonna lay it all down.  No more procrastination.  Not one bit.  None of it.  Are you sure you’re ready?  Really?  Because it’s about to get all super sweet.  Alright.  As long as you say you’re ready, here goes.

Once upon a time, there was this place.  And this place was called The FunCenter.  And FunCenter was all sad, because there were no wonderful peeps inside of it having their sweetlysnaps taken.  And then, out of the blue, comes the one and only, the super duo of Cashly & Wanda to save the day!

Shucks now, we don’t know what we would’ve done had they not stepped into our lives and given us so much total awesomeosity when they did, but we are superextra thankful that they did.  You wanna know why?  Because, they not only came into the FunCenter and let us take their pics, they were also totally and completely awesome as well (or, to boot, as the Canadians would say)!

So.  Yeah.  There you go.  But enough of all this jibberyjabbery, me thinks it be time for us to give this superduo a huge MuchLove & ManyThanks for giving us some of their sweet & precious time, and to tell all of you out there in your lovely littel blog homes on a wintry night to – Enjoy!

Megan & Troy

Gather ’round the digital glow of your interweb machines, my dear Friends of Blog (FOB’s, if you will), for I am about to weave a yarn for you about the absolutely wonderful wedding of the one and only Megan & Troy!  Now, I suppose that you might be thinking that since I have said that I am ‘weaving a yarn’, so to speak [ed.  Do you even have any idea what you are talking about?], that this totally awesome story must not be true, because people as lovely and magical as this sweetlysweet couple and their wedding party must only exist in make-believe, but I’m here to assure you that this story is all true!  Did you hear that?  All true!

On a day not all that long ago, we all got together and decided to make some awesome pictosnaps.  And, my dear dear citizens of Blogville, in case you were wondering, the decision was made, and the results were fantastic.  What’s that I hear?  Someone out there is saying to me…’prove it.’  Well, you person out there that I hear in my head [ed.  What else do you hear in your head, and how often do you hear these voices?], I’m just gonna tell you that you don’t have to take my word for it, you can just let the sweetlysamplesnaps tell the story.

So, I’m going to take these words and put them to rest.  Before I do that, however, I would like to offer up a huge MuchLove & ManyThanks to the Bride & Groom, and everybody else that made this day such an easy breezy day – you are all awsome times 100.  Did you hear me?  Times 100.  And that’s a whole whole lot.  So, the time has come for you to sit back, relax by the digital glow of your magical interweb machines, and – Enjoy!
