- So, not to beat a dead horse or anything, but as one of the consolation prizes for her own mother not being able to tell her own children apart in the photo below, Taryn insisted that I capture on the blog the whole random family feud - aka family reunion. The sad thing is I still think Taryn looks more like Mariah but Team T insists it isn't, and refuses to allow that Mariah might have changed clothes after the big family reunion photo was taken and this one. OK, I concede. Taryn knows her face, she was/is a tiny little thing, and apparently was about to go into braces. Well, it was fun winning/losing depending on if you were Team T or Team Riah. Nothing like a debate started in 2009 to finish with a flourish.P.S. The custard threat from me to Gib referred to a horribly failed recipe (I believe my huge stock pot was the culprit) and the smell and vile taste of our attempt to make 32 servings of custard for extra credit in Spanish class. If you ever want to know what the bottom of an ashtray tastes like, and how long it takes to remove the smell from your home, and cleanse your palate, I'll tell you that 12 hours later it's still going strong. The entire thing was thrown out.... including the pot. So that's what I was threatening to put in Gib's lunch.Matt Spence - Pretty sure thats Mariah not Taryn
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss OK fine... you are right. For the record, on my small little blackberry screen I couldn't tell.
and here is where I'm wondering why it appeared on my wall last night?!?!?!
- Taryn Coombs cause when indie had that hair she had to be what 12? so that would make riah 5? so its definitely me.
- Mariah Coombs No it isn't its definitely me. Indie was right about the teeth and you would've made you 11, you wouldn't look that young
- Taryn Coombs Mariah, I am sure thats me. you did not look that old or have that big of teeth when you were 5
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss Okay well it was after my divorce.... but before Jeremy. I'm thinking sometime between 2004-2005
- Indie Coombs I was 14 and in 8th grade. So you were 13, Taryn. Trust your mom and I on this one. I would bet money on it.
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs It's the age thing Taryn that decides it -- and dare I say it - you two look a lot alike!!! Also I'm glad I'm not in the room with all 3 of you!
- Taryn Coombs I bet my money it was me. It was that girl weekend hwere everyone was there and we slept at kellys house. It was definitely me.
Mickie Bragg Spence NOPE it's DEFINITELY Mariah. It was during the big family reunion. I would NOT have been there if it was a girls weekend. I moved to Utah in 2005. It was MARCH of 2005 to be exact. Spring Break right before easter...
- Mickie Bragg Spence I'm Team Mariah, that's it I am making T-shirts. Who wants one and what size!? Mariah Mariah Mariah!
- Holly Coombs Gundred I am thinking the Aunt next to 'said' Coombs girl should guess but now I am scared to....
- Indie Coombs You and Mariah are twins at certain ages. But I was 14 and we are only a year and a half a part. That TINY GIRL GETTING SQUISHED is Mariah (an 8 yr difference!!!) And the teeth man. Mariah ha some gnarly teeth. You should be blessed not to claim that (love you Riah)
- Holly Coombs Gundred To be honest, I think I grabbed T and pushed her next to Kelly. I remember Art Maxwell taking the picture on his new camera at the time.
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss Tatum hu mom. Well Jeremy just made me pull up pics of both of you and couldn't tell wich one was older now, let alone then. After bouncing back and forth I think we are going to stick with Team T. LOL ba ha ha
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs Taryn Coombs every time I see your profile pic I think it's Mariah. What does that tell you?!
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss That we are all crazy? Uh... really, don't take offense... OWN IT, this entire (awesome) fiasco proves it.
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs Well now Mike Coombs and I are having a spirited conversation about whether or not it's the Reunion or the girls weekend. No matter how many times I tell him he's still wrong he won't listen!
- Mickie Bragg Spence WHELP i'm still voting for you Mariah. I am 99.9 percent sure its you. Just you and Me will be getting the T-shirts I guess. What Size would you like dear? HAHAHA
- Holly Coombs Gundred It was the reunion...that is why Gma wasn't smiling she was stressed out from all our 'crazy'! Hee, hee, hee
- Mickie Bragg Spence Tell Mike I never went to a girls reunion I PROMISE it was that family reunion. I was living with Art and Mickey at the time and was totally bummed that Matthew couldn't come with my parents for the reunion.
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss it LOOKS like a photo of a photo so maybe I have the original but heavens only knows where.
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs It WAS the reunion. We bought sandwiches from Mickie Bragg Spence place and furthermore it was taken on EASTER Sunday at Linda's during brunch. We didn't go to Linda's on the girls weekend. And y'all can't call me crazy just yet.
- Holly Coombs Gundred Art Maxwell took it! I REMEMBER THAT MUCH!!! He got the camera with his tax refund. Stephanie Roberts Maxwell HELP!
- Mickie Bragg Spence Bobbie settle this once and for all. You know we're all Coombs girls who are going to lose sleep over all of this...Team T or team Riah? Jury's still out.
- Mickie Bragg Spence This is a fun impromptu session of family feud. Some please screen shot this and share it with everyone. I am dying laughing. All because I was looking at old family photos! For the record Bobbie posted another one at the same time as this one and Teresa and Rachel couldn't tell themselves apart.
- Bobbie Maxwell Mauss Ok.......couldn't find the pic in the box I could find of photos in the garage.this is much more fun than working on my Latin terms for advanced anatomy, but I really should get back to homework.
- Holly Coombs Gundred I found the original family picture Ray Maxwell took. It's T will post shortly!
- Linda Coombs Maxwell Ray made me go in the other room. He said my running commentary was making his headache worse. Hehehe
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs Me: you're both wrong. Gib: yeah dad because we KNOW moms never wrong. I'm going to find some custard to put in his lunch now.
- Holly Coombs Gundred PICTURE IS UP...It was T who I threw next to Kelly andold her to smile. Prety sure she did not know how to take her crazy Aunt!
- Linda Coombs Maxwell Oh my gosh,so true Holly, and that statement could apply to half the women in that picture.
- Chrissie Gibson Coombs Yep - you're right Bobbie. I had so much fun and both my computer and my iphone froze up. I WAS WRONG - happy now Team T?
- Mickie Bragg Spence Fine i'll call the t-shirt people back and change the order to Team Taryn, I officially concede. Someone change the tagging!
Kelly Coombs Johnson I'm a little late to this party but I'm dying laughing! I love you all. SO much. This was DEFINITELY March 2005...I remember I was doing Wizard of Oz at this time...I remember things in "show years" ha ha TEAM Taryn Coombs all the way
- Kay Coombs Bragg I think what I love the most about this picture, none of us grabbed our own kids. Linda, grabbed Kristin, I grabbed Kelly, Holly grabbed Mar-Taryn...I love it!!
