So I just have to share this at the expense of my husband. Actually, he is aware I was going to post this because it is just too funny not to share.
I have a painting I did that hangs in our kitchen. I noticed Chloe kept saying, “Dada, dada, dada.” I started looking around to see what was sparking her love of daddy. She does point to all our photos around the house and say our names. But alas, there was no picture to be found. She was pointing to this…..
I started dying laughing.
I mean I am ALL for a good joke and I didn’t even feed her this line. I couldn’t wait until Ryan got home. While we were sitting in the kitchen I tapped the painting and said, “Chloe…who is this?”
Like a beautiful melody…”Dada” rolled off her tongue.
Now in all fairness…I have to say….I actually see some similarities. In fact, there is documented proof of that same makeup technique that my father so lovingly painted on Ryan for his bachelor party. Check out his handy work.
Justin, nice inner thigh grab…you make a lovely couple.
Poor Ryan was pranced all around Lynchburg with a sign that said, “Mr. Kelly Hemeon” on the front and “I am getting married tomorrow, do you like my dress?” on the back. It was AWESOME.
That same night me and my girls were drinking wine in a cabin, bawling our eyes out being sentimental, singing worship songs and praying together for my future marriage…..not quite as touching as what his guys did to him, the boys took it in a different direction.
But I have to say, in the eyes and nose…I can see where Chloe might think the lady is daddy. At least that is what I say when I am laughing at her. Now it is my favorite thing to do in the kitchen…tap the painting and have her say Daddy. Never gets old…like farting….just good clean, classic, junior high humor.
Here Ryan, I will let you save face. Get it…save face. Yup I did.
Here is an oldie but goodie from our first month of marriage. We are still tan from our honeymoon. You don’t look like a tranny at all. Your sweet puppy dog eyes sans makeup.
I also stumbled across this photo in the archives while pulling up the bachelor shot of Ryan.
This was taken two days before Ryan and I decided to cross the friendship bridge into “Loversville”. A group of us went to a drive in theater in Lexington. Gotta love my classy friend Kristie in the background. Pick a winner Kris.
Can I point out the obvious? Kelly you are lookin good girl…tan, hair freshly colored, and thin….SIGH. Only a few more weeks till I can trek back down the scales the other direction.
Anyway, Ryan and I were squished in the back of a wagoneer where our bodies were touching for the first time. (Don’t be dirty….we were sitting right next to each other…arms and outer thighs.) I had no idea if Ryan had feelings for me. The word “flirt” would NEVER be used to describe him….I kept thinking to myself as I was feeling little butterfly’s in my stomach. …”Could I, should we, does he feel this way, is he the one I prayed for, can I be romantic with my buddy?”
Well I am going to say confidently, after making two kids…..could we-YES, should we-YES, does he feel this way-OH YES, is he the one I prayed for- MOST DEFINITELY, can I be romantic with him-CHECK PLEASE!
Love you Ryan. Thanks for being a great sport. This is why I love you.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHA! i am laughing so hard that i am glad i am the only one in the office right now. OH my GOSH.
ryan. i love you. but, that’s hilarious.
Funniest thing I’ve heard in a LOOOOOOONG time. Good, clean fun - at ryan’s expense of course.
thank you for always making me laugh really hard!
The painting was HILARIOUS. And yes you were beautiful but now I think you’re even more beautiful. Seriously. I don’t have a lot of time to comment but I must today. Sweetie, I don’t know you at all and I don’t blog much so I don’t even keep up well but there is a sparkle and joy in your smile that keeps me coming back. Your joy, along with your already beautiful outside, is breath taking. Embrace where you are at, the beauty of hosting one of God’s creations. Yes, I know, you’ve heard it all but really. REally think about it. Yes, you will get back to what you once were if you really want to, you know you can but now. NOW right now you are carrying God’s creation. It doesn’t get any hotter.
Love,
K
That’s a good one!
My kids, when they were younger, would point to random men in magazines (who had dark hair like my hubby) and say, ‘Daddy?’.
As long as they’re not doing that at the mall to every male who passes by, I’m ok with it.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Ryan is such a great sport, although he looks great in make-up!
There really is a resemblance. Ha ha! Being a good sport is charming, especially when, come on, there is no denying how good they both look made up.
You look hot in all stanges of your life, Kelly. I’m so excited to “meet” your newest little one.
stange? what’s that? Supposed to say “stage”… I should learn to spell check.
hee hee hee hee!! they do have the same puppy dog eyes, though unless he’s playing tea party with Chloe and in your makeup when your not home, i’m not quite sure how she translates that bee stung bright lipped vixen into daddy *rofl*
it is ryan! just lose the make-up - make her a foot and a half taller - lose 20 pounds - make her hair a little longer… a spitting image!
chloe’s a pretty observant one i must say.
Love this post! Ryan is a good sport. I swear, every time you share more about Ryan…the more he and Seth sound so much a like. Seth was SO NOT a flirt either.
I love the old photos…so cute of you two!
That is hilarious! I can see the similarities!
Beautiful pic of y’all as newlyweds and you look stunning in the car picture!
You’re cute preggo, too!
have a great day!
WHY OH WHY is Alex working tonight? I have no one to share this moment with! TOO funny!! Chloe already has the Portnoy’s “toeing the line” sense of humor, love it! Nothing like Dada in drag…
SOOOO Funny! Kids say the darndest things!
You are so beautiful.
You guys have such a loving relationship.
absolutely precious post.
roflmao! Ya know, there is bit of a resemblance to him!! Love that she noticed it!
You are beautiful in all your pregnant glory, you are at a different stage in your life now and will be in another when baby B comes ou,. But you will find a way to bring that lean, fit Kelly back and then you’ll be even hotter than before!!
You know your hot all the time…STOP IT. You look absolutely beautiful pregnant and you posted the pictures to prove it. You and Ryan are way to perfect for each other and make the rest of us jealous as all hell!
That story rocks…Chloe has good humor already! RIGHT ON CHLOE!!
You totally crack me up. I’m laughing my bum off down here in Aus. That could just be post ‘child-up-all-night-vomitting’ delirium of course.
