In honor of my mother’s birthday yesterday, I thought I’d share my WTF Family Photos post for this week’s #fbf. Enjoy looking at some noob stranger’s family photos. But, really, you might find that they’re symbolic of your collection of weird family pictures before the advent of Instagram and other social media. You know, before everyone had hundreds of pictures of their lunch on their phone. Ah, the good ol’ days!
In looking through some old family photo albums for pictures of my mom for my last post, Rein It In, I found some completely random, hilarious, and just plain WTF pictures. I took pictures of old pictures for hours, like a total noob, just so I could share them with all of you.
I’m sure you are just thrilled to look at some random blogger’s family photos, but too bad. They were too good to just keep hidden in dusty books, never to be seen.
I’d love it if some of you would share your most favorite WTF family photo. Let’s keep it weird.
When showing this photo of my grandpa with a thong cake to my mom, she said, “We also made him a boob cake and my dog, Sadie, ate one of the tits. Just wow.
Every single person in this picture looks positively stunning, except for my uncle, who, apparently, thought it was a chance for a glamour shot #stunna
My uncle’s favorite part of Christmas was forgetting it was Christmas by taking a nap during most of it.
My cousin played the part of “devil” far too well. If that’s not the face of up-to-no-good, I don’t know what is. Also, my mom said she made his costume out of an old bathrobe. My mom had skillz.
Too cool for school. Crazy eyes really made my Spock hair pop.
I love how, instead of rescuing their son/nephew/grandson from an evil goose chasing him, they instead took a photo for memory’s sake.
This was my “whoa” face. You can read about it here.
Another example of how ridiculous my family was. Apparently, capturing on film your darling child being attacked by the family dog was more important than saving her. Actually, our psycho dog was trying to eat the face off my doll. Regardless, my mom felt this a momentous enough event for this pic to have a place in a photo album.
“Mom, are you watching me? I’m practically Mary Lou Retton!” as the dog is barfing in the background…
There were about 82 pictures of my dad’s sleep face. I’m not sure if that’s a VHS box or a box of chocolates. Either way, not one thing has changed today.
Either my dad liked to wear his hats perched ever-so-slightly on the tippy top of his hair, or we now know where I got my immensely tall head.
I can’t even right now with the glasses 😂😂😂
And my dad couldn’t even either. The joys of parenting, as can be read on his face.
I wonder which asshole took this? Now ya’ll know being obnoxious with the camera is a learned trait.
My mom: “I always felt I needed to have my hair as big as my body.”
Yup.
Can you see the want in my eyes for alcohol? Where it all started.
My mom said that I escaped to the kitchen and told everyone to leave me, “Boot”, and “Oonie” alone.
“Dudes, who’s the beast using my head so she can stand? Who is allowing this?”
Here she is again. What the fuck?
I don’t even know.
There were approximately twelve family members stuffed into this beauty. That’s how we rolled (barely).
Look at how insanely thrilled my grandma was to get a toaster oven for Christmas.
I shared this in my previous post, but what I didn’t divulge was that that hairy creature sitting on the bookshelf, looking all innocent, had a dick and balls. His girlfriend (not pictured) had you-know-whats. The most disturbing part about all of this was that my grandma and second cousin, Bonnie made them.
Remember Doris and the tack-in-the-butt incident? This is Doris! You can see the murder in her eyes in this picture.
I was always quite the fashionista.
And, a family photo album is just not complete without a photo of the family dog taking the inaugural shit on the new grass.

History and Gold Mining Towns and Ghosts, Oh My!
We all know that I was my usual fatty over the week-long break I had recently. What ya’ll maybe don’t realize is that I don’t just eat all of the time (although, I do get my eat on a lot). I love to explore, travel, and experience. Without venturing too far from home, one can discover hidden gems, history, and fun times.
I have lived in Nevada my whole life, and not once had I ever been to Genoa. Even crazier, for this history lover (lover, not buff–I’m terrible at history), I didn’t know that it was the first settlement in Nevada. It was established in 1851, and it houses the oldest saloon in Nevada. This was not surprising, as Nevadans have always loved their booze.
Since discovering Genoa, I’ve been twice. It’s a super cute place, dripping in history, and it’s only about an hour from Reno. The Pink House is a must do. The pulled pork sandwich, s’mores skillet and apple and pear crisp from my Food Baby Part 2 post came from The Pink House.
Another place I went to over break is Virginia City. I’ve been to VC approximately a billion times. It can be very touristy, but if you’re in the know, you can find some amazing things to do that doesn’t involve buying overpriced junky knickknacks. Some of these include The Steampunk Ball; World Championship Outhouse Races; saloon crawls; ghost tours and investigations; and the Camel Races.
There’s just something about Virginia City. Maybe it’s the spirits, always on the prowl, the fact that I’ve always enjoyed my time there, or that the history is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Either way, if you’re ever in the Reno-Tahoe-Carson area, VC is a must.
I’m hoping to join a ghost investigation soon. Be on the lookout for a post about Fatty Cake scaring the literal crap out of herself…#pooppants #boopoo
Because I mentioned the Steampunk Ball, I thought I’d share some of my different looks I’ve had for the event over the years.
