Shake your groove thing...

John Travolta has nothing on my man!

The night before we got the call about Sandra John and I were in San Diego for a charity golf tournament and they had a seventies themed party. He had huge platform shoes that made him 7 feet tall alone not counting the huge fro. People kept asking if he played basketball. John and I tied another girl for first place in the costume contest and took home $100 cash!


I'm actually wearing my mother-in-law Sheri's outfit from the seventies. She wore this on her way to her honeymoon. Can I get a little applause for the pants?!!! This picture doesn't do them justice. They are called "elephant" pants and are wider and bigger than bell bottoms.









Yes, that is John's hair NOT a wig.

You guys look AWESOME! I love theme parties. I can't believe that is Johns real hair, he needed to be a flower child! Happy late birthday!!

I just LOVE your outfit! Too hot to handle! I'm glad you were able to celebrate your birthday with just your family. Sometimes that's nice to be more mellow.

Why are you guys the best! Those have to be the best costumes ever! And I can't believe that's John's real hair - well maybe I can, but still! Next time you guys are in SoCal you will have to call so we can meet up! I would love to see you!

Love the oufits! Wouldn't it be nice to wear clothes like that now!! Nothing lowrise or tight, just baggy and flowing.

Hi Christy, it's Brecken Watterson. I was talking with Sherry at an open house this weekend and she was telling me about these outfits and told me I had to see them. She gave me the blogsite. Hope you don't mind me peeking in. The outfits are hilarious! Looks like you guys have a lot of fun!
