Laughter Lives Tuesday

Laughter LivesLaugher Lives Tuesday is a day when we all get to look forward to a good laugh. No rules, no stress, just OPEN SEASON FUNNY!

Your post can be about whatever you want, just make it funny so we can all have a good laugh. I could use a good laugh. How about you?

Pics, videos, jokes, stories... stuff about you or your own family... stuff off the Internet... WHATEVER.

Our Laughter Lives (from Brent)

Samrawit Davis Jr.

A couple of days ago, Sami was "banging" (code for pretending to play) on the piano for a while until Michelle and I finally looked at each other with "that's ENOUGH" looks. I was just about to holler and tell her to quit, when she finishes her latest hit with a flourish, and a "Ta Dah!"

Michelle and I smiled and each other, enjoying Sami's funny creativeness, but RELIEVED that the piano pounding was finally over... when much to our chagrin we hear Landis call out from his bedroom: "Yeah Sami!!!.... ..... ...... ..... " (yep, you know what's coming don't you?) "... ... ... PLAY IT AGAIN!"

Tina Sami Davis Jr. Turner played to packed house: Landis.
Sami has never let us capture her "crazy hair" but I guess
she was feeling like a true pop star on this occassion.


Abby's Been Listening to Dad

Abby and I were sitting on the bed this morning. Landis comes tearing through the door wearing a one piece pajamas, closed feet, slick bottoms on a wood floor. Like a puppy on buttered ice, he starts spinning his feet ala Fred Flintstone trying to get his car moving. He wipes out, plows his head into the wood floor and crumples to a halt at the base of the bed.

Landis looks up at me with that "am I supposed to cry or not?" question on his face. Abby jumps in without missing a beat and takes care of business for me...

"Get up baby, be tough".

Somebody HAS been listening to Dad. This was one accident I would have had some sympathy for but Landis just pops us, declares "I'm tough" and takes off down the hall.

My New Ring Tone

Wanna hear my new ring tone? This is AUTHENTIC. I get to hear it every time my phone rings and I can hardly keep from laughing as I say hello. I recorded it myself, totally real. Can you guess who it is? Can you imagine the looks I get when my phone "rings"?

OMGosh LOL Before I even finished reading Landis slidding! ... yep, I'm a sicky (laugh others expense) :D But seriously, I really do care if he'd been hurt!

Anyway, TY Sami for the pic & music tunes ;)
Abby - your looking/sounding so much better & I'm happy for you.
I'm guessing that's you Daddy's cell ringtone? :D
Michelle - no need to mop/dust floors... just keep Landis slidding around! :D
Brent - you're too kewl, thanks for the laughs! Even w/o Flash I can HEAR your audio! :D

Peace, Joy & Love,
~Joni

I absolutely LOVE Sami's hair! She is just beautiful. I have a feeling her heart is just as beautiful as her face. How blessed you are to have her and she is to have you.

Have a great day Riggs Family!

Please tell Sami that she looks beautiful with her "crazy hair!"

Chris said...

Love the ring tone, I think I'll put it on my son's phone to replace the "screaming" ring tone that he has when I call.

Too bad people need to be nasty, we will continue to pray for your whole family, especially you and Michelle

I LOVE Sami's hair!! And the ring tone is GREAT! I'm guessing Landis?

I'm thanking God today, that Abby is feeling better, and on the mend. I'm thanking Him that you felt the laughter today, and shared it with us. We will keep on praying for Abby to continue to heal, and for her protection. Thanks for the pics yesterday! Abby looked great!

Oops! Sorry. This was my first time to participate in Laughter Lives. I have NO idea how to put that thing in HTML format so that it could go on my blog. I also put the name of the post "Yuck!" instead of the name of my blog "Anna Jane Salamy". I think "Yuck!" is a terrible name for a blog. Oh well, at least what I put on there was funny. I did get that part right.
I am so glad that I didn't get to see Michelle and Abby this week because it means they weren't at the hospital. We are having the grand opening for Anna's Room on Thursday. I do hope that Michelle will take a nap there someday.....

Esther said...

That is, by far, the best ring tone that I have every heard! I love it..what a good medicine laughter is! Not sure if I have ever posted before; but, I am constantly telling people about Abby and we are all praying for a complete healing for her. Hugs to you Abby! Love, Esther and Avaree (22m old, born in Guat)

Love your hair, Sami. It looks just like my daughter's! Beautiful!

Love the "NOTE" at the bottom of the "Leave your comment" box. HA! I hope it helps.

My daughter, Macayla, is 3 years old. Last night during family devotions, we were reading about the birth of Jesus. We asked Macayla what the story was about and she said, "Mary carried Jesus in her belly because she ate him." You gotta love how their minds work!

How can you leave a story if you don't have a blog?
