Pictures. Me at 5 and others - Painted Hunter's Blog

Ok, so keeping with Debbie's "what did you look like when you were 5" and Cyndi's "wedding photos blog", here are some pictures. I think I finally (thanks to Ruben) know how to post them here. Sorry, I don't have any wedding photos, but I've got some from around that time....haha...darn, I look like a hippie in some of 'em....and so young.


Here's me when I was two or so....nice bowtie...;)



Age 5...Kindergarten photos...ha




Age 16 ... Me and my mom.





Age 18...Me and Amanda on the night I got her a limo




Age 19...Me and my bowling partner...who is now in college...crazy!




Age 20...On my motorcycle shortly after we were married...and yes, she's very pregnant...;)...on a motorcycle?...bad idea.





Age 20...I'm a dad...and a tired one...
And yep, my nose is healing in this pic and some of the next ones...broke it a couple of weeks before Cade was born while working on a lawnmower(I was a yard man at the time)
....wrench broke and I slammed it into my face...ha...it was awesome.

Poor little guy had colic...


You know what's good for colic?....Fishing. Gotta start 'em early.




What y'all lookin at?....Momma must be naked. Little man is hungry and so is daddy...;)



Last summer....did I ever grow up?...NOPE.

Thanks Charma. And the last pic...you know on cruises how they come around at dinner and take your pictues?...I hate that(im not a big fan of having my picture taken at all), so everytime they came to my table I'd make a goofy face...that's where it came from.

Cyndi Macmillan Date: 3/17/2014 3:08:00 PM Could y'all be anymore gorgeous. You're blinding me! LOL.. awww... all so beautiful, Caleb... and baby pictures to boot! Sigh... Thanks for making me smile. Verity had colic, too, but we were lucky enough to find a formula that with probiotics that changed our lives ($26 a tin! Wallet emptied quickly) I have no idea how we survived the first month. She once wailed 7 hours solid.. I had no idea what to do or how to help her. The very day we gave her formula, she changed into a happy smiling baby. She now has soy milk. Now...I have no idea if that is.. lol.. manscaping... my hubby is ... lol... bushy. Your hair? Both styles suite... but now I want to call you Kiddo!

And manscaping...lol..well, I won't get too much into details there because I'm not certain exactly what kind of manscaping we're talkin about. LOL...Amanda entered me into a hairy chest contest once on a cruise..Aaahahaha. It was so funny. I stood next to this huge Canadian dude that looked like Paul Bunyan. and me...not a chest hair in sight...just doesn't grow

Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 1:02:00 PM My advice? Forget fishing....and hunting....get into acting. Double benefit...ANIMALS GET TO LIVE IN PEACE....(That's the vegetarian in me going for the KILL) and Hollywood gets a new face! Your wife is such a beauty that you could get her involved as well...You could do a new Hart to Hart show...Remember? Robert Wagnor and what's her name? OH DEAR ME...Possibly before your time! I feel ancient! Login to Reply Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 8:11:00 PM ;) Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 3:03:00 PM HA HA HA HA HA! Oh Caleb...You wouldn't want me fishing with ya! I'd holler and make such a racket...the fish would all swim away...happy to be free...FREE...in the water...and not thrashing about in your canoe. ;) Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 2:57:00 PM We could use you here, Eileen...hard to find enough people to fill roles ya know? You should transplant to Arkansas...;) I'll take you fishin'.....okay, teasin' about the fishing. Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 2:44:00 PM I reckon so...;) I'm not a pastor's kid but my mom was! Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 2:33:00 PM HA HA!!! See the LONG hair would help you with that part! ;) I got to wear tons of make-up and jewelry...was SO in my element! HA HA! I'm bad! What do you expect? Pastor's kid has got to rebel! Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 2:31:00 PM Haman's wife...awesome! I played a depressed alcoholic named Jacob who lost his wife shortly after they were married. He was mad at God. Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 2:05:00 PM Eileen, some of my fondest memories are of my mom singing. She's a good singer, too. We've done a few numbers in church together, along with my older brother(on guitar...me on bass..all of us singing...of course, I'm just there for back-up vocals...haha..I don't lead. I bet you and your daughter sound great together. Mothers and daughters or fathers and daughter..or whatever...always sound so good together. Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 1:35:00 PM CALEB!!! You got to model and you said NO? Oh...that would be easy money! You don't have to buy into that kind of lifestyle...not that all models are...you know...WILD! Oh dear....bet you can still get into that if you want to...I do love to sing!!! My first dream to go up in smoke...that's I'd burst into the music scene! HA HA HA! My daughter has an amazing voice...she and I love singingn together...she does the soprano, I do the alto...Oh...we sing hymns together...have for church. There is hardly any greater joy! Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 1:32:00 PM Bet you got a lovely singin' voice!!! Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 1:31:00 PM I had a chance...6 or 7 years back... (I'm a little embarrased to say this but y'all are friends, soooo... don't make fun of me, please) I was asked to model for some magazines but I said no. It just wasn't me...good money or not...and I'm just too much of a country boy..;) Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 1:25:00 PM I've WRITTEN a few plays. Was a teacher so...had to write a play where ALL the students would have a part! Wrote on many different themes...environment, Christmas...love! I've been in plays as well. My fav role was HAMAN's WIFE! Ohhhhh...loved being evil. I LOVE acting...and singing! :) I sing in church...solos, duets, quartets. Been in choirs. Very up front person....OH...I started writing a novel with I was 14ish..Course..thought it would become a movie! I'd GET TO STAR! HA HA HA! Caleb, you've got the looks, and if you've done some acting...GO FOR IT. ;) We can always dream! Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 1:19:00 PM I like to act, and even though it kinda shocked a lot of people (because I really don't say much in person and I'm kinda reserved and "in the shadows"), I did very well at it. I starred in a few plays in front of nearly 400 people...which was hell on my nerves...but I got used to it and now I love it. We might be doing one for Easter, but I'm not sure yet...

Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 12:27:00 PM YOU are one handsome man! Ain't fair! Yup...hubby used to take me on the motorcycle when I was pregnant...NO, NOT a good idea. I almost fell off once! What adorable pics of you as a little one! :) Don't grow up! You're in good company. I never did...even when hubby wonders if I ever will. I WON'T! I'll be a granny all....crazy and dancing the night away! :) Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/17/2014 12:33:00 PM Yup.....only way to be! :) Painted Hunter Date: 3/17/2014 12:32:00 PM Thanks Eileen. Yep...at the time, it was my only vehicle. I went everywhere on it...rain, sleet, or snow. And I agree...I plan on being silly for the rest of my life.
