I did laugh at Barb's face (sorry Barb!!)

I bet you guys had a ball..

[StephanieOlivarez]

It was so much fun doing it together.
Yeh, yeh on the Tramp Stamp!!!!!!! You are cracking me up Mel.
I know it was painful for all of us.
But well worth all the pain.

[katrinaenglish]

I'm impressed!
You guys are hilarious!

Very Cool! Go you CDH Babes.

[JaanaRosenlund]

[AngelaLogozzo]

Looks like you all had a great time
xx

[Donna Easley]

How awesome, that is some excellent work. Glad you guys had fun.

[KateC]

Omigosh guys!! I LOVE THEM!! You guys are too much!!

Corin, I don't know what you though when you said inside of arm, but I didn't realize you meant there - that had to hurt! Isn't it sensitive there??

Steph, that looks absolutely gorgeous, I love it. Can't wait to show Steve!!

[Chris and TracyMeats]

The tatoos look great, but I love Steph's!

Okay, I see Steph and Corin are wearing CDH awareness bracelets--are those samples of what we all are voting on this week? I love those colors, so much better than the black one that is in the lead!

[TaniaSmythe]

Ouch but they look awesome :-)

[KimberlySwitzer]

They look awesome!! Im getting the ribbon in the same place Corin, just have to get ahold of the artisit to make my appointment...

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

They look great!!! It does look painful though. You ladies are amazing to do that!

I want one but I'm too chicken to get a tattoo and can't make my mind up which one I want anyway.

[KarlaHolt]

They look great...still thinking about one myself...

[kgalli]

sorry again that i haven't been on, still very sick, it has been a very bad year, and now that the cold weather is here, it is harder. Kim loves as do I, the tattoos, and now you all have her wanting one. LOL I miss ya all and kim and I were so happy to see pictures of you all. Elijah is doing great, Kim is sorry that she hasn't called you Steph, she lost your phone number. She is working at Dillards now and is very busy, working full time and taking care of Elijah. He is talking so much more now and was a puppy dog for holloween. She and I send our love.
Love
Aunt Nancy

[Corin Nava]

Tracy-yes those are examples of what we are voting on. Steph and Barb got a few special ones for me :) I agree-I really think the colors look a lot better than the black one will! They are really beautiful!

[Corin Nava]

I finally have some down time to come on and see whats going on around here! Barb and Steph have kept me very busy these last few days and I LOVED it! We had a great time!!! The bowl-a-thon was amazing! The tattoos were fun to get-and yes a bit painful ;)

[JaanaRosenlund]

I'm too chicken to get a tat - we need some temporary ones! lol

[JaanaRosenlund]

I'm too chicken to get a tat - we need some temporary ones! lol

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Wow did we have fun getting those tats!! LOL But today it is very SORE! hehehe!!

Hope that yours are feeling better ladies!

[Corin Nava]

Barb-I'm glad I saw you on tonight! It's good to see your home :)

Mine is also a bit sore :)

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

I was gonna call Corin but I did not know if it was too late or not! Sorry! I made it home.....to the snow! YUCK!!

Shane wants to know if Nate skates? Plays hockey? If so he wants him up here to play! LOL

Ooooh! Keep putting that stuff on your arm! Mine is awfully.....the jeans and duffel bag got me today! LOL Kev and the boys like it....yeah! LOL

Loves ya!

[JenniferBrown]

Hi Barb i'm glad you are home i was thinking about you guys today,
it was very nice meeting you.

[Corin Nava]

Nate used to play street hockey with some friends... he wants to learn to skate :) We've gone a few times but it's a sad sight! We are definitely coming out there soon....

[MelissaKelly]

Oh FYI, I used Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment on my tattoo and it was fabulous. It smells pretty good, too, and the color still looks perfect.

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Jenn it was so nice meeting you too!! I wish that we could have spent more time together!!

Mel....Burt's Bees is such a great idea!! I love that stuff!

Corin, Shane said he will teach Nate! LOL It is pretty scary to see me on skates also ROFL. These boys talk me into going every once in awhile.....just to laugh at me! At least I provide them entertainment I guess!

[KateC]

Hey I seen Seth laying on a chair in one of those pictures, Corin ~ wud he get???

[Corin Nava]

He got his first tat :) He got the outline of a cross on his chest-he's got to go back to have it finished

[Elaine Moats]

Love the tatoo's. You ladies are soo brave, even tho I give myself 2 shots a day I can not imagine getting a tatoo. I would like one but think it would hurt to much. They look great :)

[StephanieOlivarez]

Looking at the pictures--we did have a BLAST!!!!
Jen--it was AWESOME to meet you. We will be back and we will have more time to spend together.

AUNT NANCY--I have wrtten this a few times - but it is so good to get an update from you and Kim.
I hope Kim is enjoying her job.
My phone number is 574-224-2223.
She can call anytime and that goes for you!!!
Winter's are hard. I hope you can avoid major sicknesses.
Do try and keep us updated when you can. You all are in my thoughts.

Ok ladies...now that you have seen our Tattoo's - go out and get YOURS!!!! It does indeed hurt--but is so worth it.
Today mine is just plain out itching. Yours Corin and Barb???

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Mine just plain hurts darn it! LOL I have went back to keeping it covered cuz it is still bleeding and the pants are rubbing it. Oh the joys of being diabetic and trying to heal......gotta love it! 8-)

[Corin Nava]

Mines not too bad. It's starting to heal :)

[DanielleGolding]

Oh you girls crack me up - Barb, I hope it begins to feel better.

You know what Steph, I might just think about getting a tatt (only if it's fake LOL) I'm such a wuss!

Seriously though it would be cool to get some fake ones with CDH awareness, the kids would love it. Has that been done before?

[Dawn Torrence Ireland]

LOVE that idea, Danielle! I have no idea where to get those. Anyone know?

[karahess]

Enter "custom temporary tattoos" into the search engine and all sorts of stuff pops up! You can add your own artwork to create your own tattoos. I've thought about this idea before, too. My kids love wearing them. I've thought about doing it for the boys birthday parties. It's just that you have to order in bulk and I really don't want 500 of them.

[StephanieOlivarez]

My tattoo is still itching and I think that means it is healing.
Shane at least says so!!! Mr. Know it all!!!! lol

It would be very cool to get temporary tattoos with CDH Awareness.
GREAT idea Dani!!! Love it!
Who's heading this project??????? VERY COOL Holiday Gifts!!!!

Kara--do they take smaller orders?

BARB--would know something about this I think???
BARB-where are you????????

[karahess]

I don't know. I haven't looked at it too much. Suppose I could, though, if you'd like?

[DanielleGolding]

Oooooh how exciting - I'd love wearing them too! Thanks guys. It's amazing the ideas that come to me at 3.30am (that was the time over here when I posted that, I couldn't sleep for some reason;))

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

That would be awesome!! I do not know much about the temp ones that are pre printed. I only know about the temp ones that I do with airbrushs! LOL sorry! I will have to look into it though. 8-)

[JaanaRosenlund]

Dani - I had the same idea! As soon as I saw the girls tats I loved them but I thought I am too chicken so temporary ones would rock!

Good luck with it all girls!

[Corin Nava]

They aren't that bad :)

I think the temp tattoos would be a great idea! I'll have to see if I can find anything!

[JaanaRosenlund]

I don't know Corin, I have to hand it to you girls - you are very brave for doing it.

[Corin Nava]

lol Jaana-it's worth the little bit of pain! Of course I have a high pain tolerance. I just tell myself if I can have a baby naturally than getting a tattoo is nothing!

BTW- I love the new avatar! What an adorable pic!

[KateC]

That is a great idea Danielle!!

I need another tattoo . . . : (

[JaanaRosenlund]

You must have a high pain tolerance Corin! Natural birth! I'm way scared. lol. Enjoy your tat.

xx

[TaniaSmythe]

Well i showed Darryl the tats that you girls got done and we have agreed to both get one also (we have been looking for something for so long), i can't believe we have finally both agreed on one :-)
It will hopefully be early next year when we get ours done and the temp tats sound great, i know Hannah would love one.

[Corin Nava]

Thats awesome Tania! Are you getting the awareness ribbon or something different? You will have to post pics when you do!

[JaanaRosenlund]

Wow that is great Tania!

[Damon andSharonknott]

You kiwi's are hard core...nNot like us soft aussies, hey Jaana!
Cant wait to see some pics Tan
x

[TaniaSmythe]

Thats how we managed to kick Aussie butt in the league Shaz (teasing :-) )
Darryl is going to looks at the pic's again tonight and decide between the ribbon or the CDH lettering and then we will have to wait until we can afford to get them done (i'm hoping to have them done before the wedding though).
C'mon Shaz, if you can get shocks from acupunture (sp is shocking tonight sorry) you can get a tat!

[Damon andSharonknott]

Tan,
NO WAY could I get a tat. I cry like a baby when I get a paper cut!
Damon had his first done last year and said it hurt (arm band) like anything. He is looking at getting the CHERUBS Aust logo done on his arm :)

[TaniaSmythe]

C'mon Shaz you can do it :-)
A word of advise if you ever decide to do it, go for the meaty parts (ie, thigh, boobs etc) as they don't hurt as much

[Damon andSharonknott]

OH NO.... I think I would faint!!! I feel sick just thinking of the pain.
I will just sit on the side and watch you lot get ur's.

[JaanaRosenlund]

Shaz - I am with you. We are getting put to shame aren't we?? lol

[Damon andSharonknott]

We sure are Jaana! light weights LOL

[DanielleGolding]

I'm with you aussie girls - gosh we are soft hey! Shaz, tell Damon that his deadline is to get his tatt by 2009 conf;)

[StephanieOlivarez]

Tania--HOW VERY COOL!!!
Can't wait to hear what you both decided and of course see the pictures.

I do have to say that Tattoo's do hurt at FIRST--then you get used to it. It really depends on where you put yours.
Shaz, Dani and Jaana--YOU COULD HANDLE IT!!!!!

[TaniaSmythe]

Well i wouldn't be a true kiwi if i didn't give you aussie girls a hard time about being soft and really if you can handle child birth you can handle a tattoo (sorry couldn't resist the urge to tease :-) )

[Damon andSharonknott]

I had 2 c sections!!! Just call me a wimp Tan LOL

[TaniaSmythe]

Ouch painful to recover from Shaz, did you see the league last weekend. I was meaning to give everyone a hard time about it but never got around to it

[JaanaRosenlund]

I'm a two c-section girl like you Shaz! lol
I can only deal with pain when I have no choice but to just get on with it. Pain by choice - I don't think so. I can't do it! lol

[Damon andSharonknott]

I did see the league - best we be quiet about that one Tan!!! lol

[TaniaSmythe]

I missed it but wanted to watch the Haka part as i heard all about it, i might have to have a look on you-tube to see if there is a video of it.

[Damon andSharonknott]

The Haka is the best bit I bet its on You Tube - will have to take another look myself :)

Hope you and the clan are ok Tan!
