everything is a contest with us

When we all get together, well who knows what may happen. We decided tonight(I think the credit goes to Veronicia) to have an oreo contest. Whoever could stick the most in their mouth, WON!!! First as always, Mel had to have a photo shoot to proudly display the product. Maybe the Oreo company should pay us a little advertising fee? I swear this is her favorite part of me having a blog. She is enjoing this a little too much!



First up Don. I was so disappointed. He couldn't even get 3 in his mouth. That left me to represent our family. Thanks Don!!!
Next Veronicia displays her Oreo skills. Not bad, she was able to get 3 in her mouth, with just a little gag!

Guess who was the party pooper and would not participate in our "childish, stupid, games" Todd.
Don't fret Mel pulled through for her family.I forgot to mention and if you look closely you will see these are double stuffed. Don't try this at home, we are professionals!!! She was certain she could put 4...........

no such luck! She only managed 3.

And the winner is.... STACI. Yes that's right I managed to get 4 in my mouth. I'm sure Mel is practicing all day today cause she hates to lose, especially to me! Silly girl I am the double stuffed Oreo champ!!!!


Beth I went to your site, thanks for the shout out. I love for people to remember my sweet boy. I'll tell you that's what's most scary about losing someone close to you. That people will forget them. Thanks again. As for the request of a tour of my house. I will get up from this post and start taking some pictures. They will be posted soon!

Congratulations again on the winning the Oreo contest! hee-hee

I'm so glad we share the same LOVE for OREOs!! Looks like Mo was outdone this time. She needs to create an Oreo Queen banner for you to wear! I don't think you have to worry about Jake ever being forgotten!! He changed more people's lives and will always be remembered!

Staci, your sweet angel Jake will never be forgotten. He is still so alive in your family's spirit. I bet he was watching down from above making bets that his awesome Mama was gonna whoop-up on the Oreo contest...and she did!
Funny story for you...last night we were watching the 6 o'clock news and Grant (he's almost 4) heard that someone had died from cancer. He turned to me and asked me what cancer was. I explained that it made people very sick and that they have to take lots of medicine to get better and sometimes they don't get better. Then I said, "Remember Jake" (he has seen his pic on the computer) "He had cancer" and then Grant replied, "Ya, I remember Jake. He gave me his shirt with his name on it!" He was referring to the JOR shirt I brought back from the Shake for him. Isn't that too cute? When he see's Jakes picture on the computer he immediately knows who it is. He was only 2 when Jake went to heaven and he isn't about to forget Jake any time soon and neither am I!

All HAIL THE OREO QUEEN!!!!

First things first, Jake will NEVER be forgotten! He changed something in all of us and we are all better for having witnessed his life!

You guys are so crazy! My family is the same way about weird food challenges. Did you know that PB and BACON sandwiches aren't half bad???? It's amazing what you can learn from a dare!

Christie said...

LMAO ya'll are just like my family. EVERY lil thing is a contest. We have some crazy laughs. Have ya'll ever played fear factor? All I can say is I am glad I lost out before the raw egg downing. Jake is thought of everytime I see the number 11. I have told many about his story. He is forever in my heart, as well as the rest of ya'll. Hugggsss!!!

Hey Staci,
Where do you and Mel get it from? Surely not the Jones side of the family...I love you all....By the way do you or Mel have any single friends around 25 looking for a good man? Drew needs a good girl...lol
