But we kept finding stuff that needed to be touched up or repaired, but wasn&#8217;t marked. So, we tore up some of the pieces of tape into smaller pieces and put them where we thought they needed to work, too.<\/p>\n<p>On January 4th, we <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Girl Rockers.

We only took two pictures: One where KrisDi&#8217;s eyes were closed and everyone else was fine, and one where KrisDi&#8217;s eyes were open and no one else looked fine. I photoshopped the eyes from one into the other, so if she looks lopsided, it&#8217;s due to my lackluster Photoshop skills.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"10 year old Ryan.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snaotheus.com\/wordpress\/..\/..\/photo%20pages\/Pre%202003\/1991\/index.html\">Old pictures my parents took in 1991<\/a>.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be cute in any of the pictures to follow this set. Out of these, I remember two in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Rattlesnake?\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snaotheus.com\/wordpress\/..\/..\/photo%20pages\/Pre%202003\/1991\/northwoodandthesnake.html\">This one, of Northwood with a snake<\/a>. I can&#8217;t remember for sure, but I think that&#8217;s actually a rattlesnake. As I recall, we were camping in Mobridge, SD, in a pretty regularly-visited campground, and this big old rattler came slithering through. Northwood saw it and went running to Dad, who didn&#8217;t believe him until he saw the snake. Then Dad grabbed a shovel and killed it. Didn&#8217;t Northwood attempt to tan it or something? I remember him skinning it, pinning the skin out, and putting salt or something all over it. Leedle Brudda, can you verify? If that wasn&#8217;t the snake I&#8217;m talking about, then it must have been a <a title=\"Good old Wiki.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bull_Snake\">bull snake<\/a> or something, I suppose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Seriously, what kind of person would do this to a kid? Well, I would.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snaotheus.com\/wordpress\/..\/..\/photo%20pages\/Pre%202003\/1991\/evilbrother.html\">And this one<\/a>, in which evil Eldest is seen delighting in torturing me. You see the horrible glee on Eldest&#8217;s face &#8212; he got me all excited by marking this gigantic box for me from Santa, and loaded it with bricks or something in the bottom to make it seem heavy, and then stuffed it with newspaper and&#8230;drum roll&#8230;a can of peas. I hate peas. What a terrible person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"I would have been 9.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snaotheus.com\/wordpress\/..\/..\/photo%20pages\/Pre%202003\/1990\/index.html\">Old pictures my parents took in 1990<\/a>. I remember <a title=\"This kid was evil.\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snaotheus.com\/photo%20pages\/Pre%202003\/1990\/eldest.html\">this BB gun<\/a>: Eldest sawed off the stock and most of the barrel, then covered it in electrical tape. Afterward, it was suspiciously easy to conceal in a sleeve, and difficult to see in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that eventually I&#8217;ll get some pictures that are actually of the New Year&#8217;s Shindig that I can put up here.
