Beautiful family. Of course. Wow - time flies Did you get to see Cathy while you were in SLC?

Terri said...

Wow, look at all those smiles. What a lovely family Melissa. It will be nice to see you this summer.

Maryse said...

Hi Melissa. I guess the mystery of anonymous is over. Sorry, Teresa.
Atleast I was right on the other!

Unknown said...

There are a couple of "anonymous" posters we have to figure out. I am particularly interested in the "anonymous" who has the boots... You know me one track mind and all... (If this confuses you look at my very first post)

Maryse said...

Dave, I'm pretty sure Melissa is the anonymous with the boots. Judy walker is the other anonymous.

Rich said...

Thera are more than 2 anonymous's. The one we haven't mentioned yet is the one that comments under the class picture and says they graduated with us and are not in the picture. Melissa is in the picture and Judy didn't graduate with us...Although Judy, Rhonda and Stacey and all those chicks better come help with the float and hang out...cause I wanna see ya!!

Rich said...

Oh yeah....Great pic Mel. It was great seeing you last Thanksgiving!!! and last rememberance week-end.

I can't seem to get my blogger identity to work. I have "signed" all my posts. I have not posted any that were really anonymous.
Sorry, the mystery is not solved.
I wish I had the boots....I could think of some fun things to use them for! HaaHaaHaa!!!! But there is still someone out there that does have those kick-*ss boots.

Michelle: I did see Cathy and Mark D while I was in Utah. It was great to see them both. I had so much fun!!

It is always good to see all of you!

I saw Tim F in Moxies last weekend, but was rushing my 2 year old to the potty and by the time I came out I couldn't find him....Sorry Tim! I would have liked to have talked to you.

Anyway this is so fun to get to "chat" with everyone like this.

Maryse said...

I'm assuming anonymous is a woman. Maybe it's a guy, with a fetish. Dennis is missing from the class pic!
Isn't this how rumors start?

Rich said...

will the boot chick just post a photo of her in the boots....or him...

Rich said...

Tim F. get posting...remember when you and Kent and I were hired by Mrs. Stevens to drywall the new hot tub store in lethbridge. We would always stop for a super ham and cheese sub at 7-11 and my car went into the ditch by your place and my mouth was frozen when I tried to say hand me the sub and it sounded like "hand me the shuper ham sheesh shandwish" and Kent from then on would call it that. In school he would say he could use a Shuper sub and noone would understand....LOL.

He was still saying it when Kent and I went to Utah to hang with 6 hot chicks for easter...two of them were his sisters, but they were hot too. Good Times.

Trust Rich to ask for a picture of the person with the boots!
"I'm a visual kind of guy" and all.
Now, Rich.... do you want a picture of that person wearing the boots OR wearing nothing but the boots?

That should get some of your temperatures rising.

Oops, I forgot to sign that last post.

You look great even if you do have 80s hair, just kidding. Beautiful family, always love that smile of yours. See you soon.

Rich said...

Melissa said...

Sorry, Rich, I am not the owner of the boots, but mabey I could borrow them from whoever is......HaHaHAHaHaHa!!!!

Melis,
Sorry I missed the wedding but in my defense , I got the invitation the day of! I guess the mail to Spring Coulee is extra slow. I can't believe you're someones mother-in-law!!!! You all look so graat! And Dave I am one of the anonymous bloggers but I am not the boots gal though I do have a swell pair of gum boots fit for pulling calves I could post a pic if you want ciao-Judy Walker-Ratke

Rich said...

Judy, it would be great to see a photo of you in your gum boots.

Melissa said...

Judy you're pretty funny!
You could come up with a new hit:
A calendar of farm girls in GUM BOOTS.....hey, I've seen worse....

Anonymous said...

Melis,
Me?In gum boots? On a calendar? A million dollar idea? Maybe if it's in braille yeah- a blind man's calendar!!On second thought, I better stick to farming, there is less risk and I make more money!HAHAHA! (Sometimes sarcasm is lost in print) Have you ever publicly thanked me for setting you up with my grad date? YOU'RE WELCOME!!

Brandle-Rich,
So many good times!My fave was when you, me ,Dave and Rhonda "broke into" the mansion at McIntyre and you and Dave smoked cigars (and by smoked I mean turned green, gagged,and coughed and coughed)Rhonda and I each ate a whole box of turtles , the time your parent's car rolled down the hill, also at McIntyre, and you had to chase it and climb into it and stop it before it hit the fence while Rhonda and I laughed. But this memory is for the about 16 people involved-Whoop-up Days, midnight madness in Rusty's Parent's stolen van!!! PS If my children ever do anything like this I will feel like I have failed them as a parent!! DO NOT DIRECT MY CHILDREN TO THIS BLOG SITE!!! Judy Walker-Ratke

Jason Wilde said...

Judy! I always laugh until I wet myself when you're talking. Man I miss you.

Melis, your family is indeed attractive. I'm surprised that you got them all together long enough for a picture, as active as you guys are. Excellent work!

Jason,
Great to hear from you, I feel like I am stepping on toes every time I write on this site, you know I was an 88 .After seeing a photo of you packing heat I sleep better at night knowing Jason Wilde is protecting my country !!!
All kiddding aside- be safe!JUDY W-R

Jason Wilde said...

Hey Judy!
Toes - whatever
Protecting - whatever
safe - absolutely.

take care. --Jason.

Mary said...

Melissa, you all look soo great..Morgan and Paden look like they have had enough of pictures! how cute! You and Rob still look the same! Haven't aged a bit.. I'm so glad you and Rob came by last year to visit, it was good to see you so happy and content... What seminars do you plan to go to in the next year? My boss is really into CE, i could possilby work one in that you would be at...

Melissa said...

Judy:
It was fairly convenient for me that you "ditched" your grad date and that my sister and her grad date made me tag along....Thanks Judy, Thanks Rhonda, Thanks Mark D.....I guess the rest is history!
No problem about Savannah's wedding...it was about two weeks before that they changed their minds and decided to have a reception, so we didn't have tunz of time to prepare. I hand made all the invitations(270 of them!), so some of the close people didn't get mailed until the Monday morning before. Sorry that you didn't get yours sooner. It turned out very nice and I'm happy that I won't have another wedding for quite a while!

Jason:
Yup it is always quite a feat to get any kind of decent picture of six kids. I am getting used to picking the best of the not-so-good shots! Aaah, what can ya do???

Mary:
We don't have any more CE courses planned, except for a Sohndi coures in Calgary in June, but we will be going on a big trip every year, so who knows....we might be able to co-oridinate sometime!
That would be great!

Melissa

Rich said...

Judy...Good memories. Didn't you get stopped for J walking in Lethbridge and the cop asked for your name and wrote down J walker and started laughing...

Anyway, thanks for the whole graduation thing you know what I mean.....I think your awesome!!

I remember sitting on the bum bench downtown waiting for Rhonda or Karin to ask me for a ride to your house. Then we would have some sort of girls sleep over party and watch chick flicks (which I still enjoy watching today)and I would be the only guy just cause I had the car. After a few hide and seek games and such I started to feel like one of the girls.....I suppose the cigar dave story helped me feel some sort of manhood again. LOL

Good Times
