Brenly Claire's Very First Photo Shoot

Another special baby in the family to love...

Happy Holiday Weekend America

I love this picture.

Fun Times with Grandma

Little Lauren's Bachelorette Party...Drag Queen Style

My little neighbor Lauren...who's not so little anymore...is getting married to the love of her life next month in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Lauren and Amanda (her older sister) lived two doors down from my parents house growing up. Their dad taught me how to shoot a BB gun, Amanda shared with me the orange wonders of Sun-In, and Lauren showed me how to rock the open-mouthed glamour shot smile...which I tried out in my fifth grade school photo. I now know why Cody Taylor and I ended our two week relationship.

(and a shout out to Mrs. Nelms, my super special second mother! I love you!)

Amanda, MB, Monica, & Lauren...back in the day

Amanda, Lauren, MB

Lauren proved to be the real queen of the day...but here are a few of the others.
"Miss Gay Everything"

"Lady Gaga"

"Coffee"

I'm All for Big, but Really?

"I wish they had milk on tap."

Generation Gap

MB: "Grandma, what did you have for dinner?"

Grandma: "A Sonic hamburger sandwich. It was real good."

MB: "In Texas, we just call them hamburgers."

It's Friday...

Whatever it is, make it a fun one!

The Bandit Thong

Dressed to impress…no one, really…I head out to meet up with my two girlfriends for dinner.
We sit down and order drinks when, unexpectedly, I begin to feel a little rumpling on my outer thigh.
If I hadn’t kicked ass with Billy Blanks the night before, I wouldn’t question rumples on the thigh region, however, what I was feeling wasn't a part of my leg…it was that other thing in my jeans. So, I decently excuse myself from the dinner table, head towards the restroom and take into custody…The Bandit Thong…just waiting for that gratifying opportunity to fall to the floor and disgrace its owner.

Praise the Lord for skinny jeans...I learned that from the Brits!

Best Korean Tea...in America

My brother Matt recently discovered this Korean Honey Citron Tea at a local international store. It’s the latest craze in the Koeth household. My dad is out buying jars for the whole family. You can find it here.
Coffee whores no more!

Baby Tricks

...I take credit for this one.

Welcome to the World Sweet Brenly Claire!

Mom & Dad ready to roll!

It's a Girl!




Grandpa

Aunt Cristina & Great Grandma Cironi

Grandma Marlene

The coolest aunt ever...

Leave it to Monica…

…to have her baby on Cinco de Mayo.

This is the awesome hatchback that my sister bought for $500 her freshman year of college.
As a joke, her friends put her name in gothic lettering on the back.

Pictures of the little one to come!

I Have a Feeling I’m Not in the UK Anymore…

I wake up and it’s sunny.
I go to bed and I can see the stars.
The weathermen predict crap weather…and it’s still sunny.

Trust me, I’m not complaining.
There are worse things to moan about…like, birthing babies (Sorry Monica!). My bold and brave sister is about to go where, well, millions of women have gone before…to the maternity ward.

Bust out the stirrups (…the Texas kind, of course)…baby Monica & Glen is on its way!
