"Want Some"

Sooooo TJ almost got into his first playground fight last night except the little boy that he was trying to instigate was looking at him like what the hell are you talking about. Everytime Rob and TJ wrestle or play football Rob always says want some come get some....so here goes...the pee wee's are practicing football; cheerleaders are practicing clapping or whatever and TJ and a few others are on this monkey bary like contrapment....the kid is the kid that knows TJ wants to like put his foot on a certain bar or stand and climb to that side but said kid won't move...just stands and stares...so I heard:

TJ - he won't move mom
Me - ask nicely and more people will do more things for you than talking mean to them
TJ - move now
Me - move now please
TJ - move now PLEASE
kid moves and says something...
next I hear TJ saying want some over and over so I look over and he is moving his head in the ghetto way that means I am a badass (we all know we have done it)!LOL and saying
TJ - want some, want some, get some
Kid - when my brother pushes me down i tell my dad

At which I point I seperate and send tj off to ride his scooter.... I will forever be able to picture TJ standing there acting all big and bad; want some want some get some.....

Holy Heck...about 1 1/2 months since last entry

So very sorry...I started using Facebook more and my blogging went down hill; well it was nonexistant! There has been a lot going on and to much for me to try and catch up on...so we'll just start fresh...a new beginnging so to speak...I have updated my pictures etc and this will be my first post of a new blogging era! LOL!

We are supposed to be going to the beach this weekend but because of our dry spell the rain is supposed to come in none other than this weekend so I have called into the condo owner to see if we can switch days to midweek next week when the sun will once again shine....waiting on a call back....the only problem..momma has tickets to go see NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! Yep that is right..tickets in hand bitches! LOL! :-)that is on the 2nd so we'll see how it plays out! This weekend we went to the ZOO... (Grammy and I did) Rob and Rick stayed behind for the Skins game and they won so GO SKINS>>>>>>....the boys (well we all know jack had no clue what was going on but he loved the monkeys!) loved seeing all the animals and TJ asked lots of questions and we have a return trip planned for 10/13; the Zoo is huge and just to much for us to see in once trip; this time Jack will be staying home...here are some pictures from the day....

Holy Busy Weekend Batman! But What FUN!!!

First off let me just say the weather ROCKED and is still super duper! It's AUGUST and I haven't had the A/C on in 4 days and shouldn't need it until about midweek this week when the humidity returns...I had to put a SWEATSHIRT on last night! It's been great!

It all started Friday...I cleaned, dusted, vacumed, shampooed you name it and I cleaned it and washed it to prepare for my COMPANY well it was OUR company because if you tell TJ it was his or mine he'll say no it was OUR company and then name everyone including the dogs because it was everyone's company. Anyway I digress...

I didn't get to the grocery store so after everyone got to my place...(I did manage to shower! Be thankful for the small things! LOL) Everyone being: Amy & Jenna & Steph & Brit & Leann & Anthony I had to leave them behind and hit the store...then off to unlce henry's for pizza and a visit with grammy and pappy and Sara's parents as well...then home for bath's and bed! And another run to the grocery! LOL! Saturday morning was breakfast, playtime and then waterpark fun!

Can I just say I REALLY did feel like Jon & Kate plus 8! We went through a whole box of waffles and about 2 gallons of milk and 1 loaf of bread and that was for two meals; the milk was the entire weekend..

The waterpark was fun...my kids and I were in the "big pool" most of the time but the little wonders had fun in the toddler/baby area...steph and amy took all the small fries home for a nap and I stayed with TJ (and seana) for about another hour then took TJ over to uncle henry's and aunt sara's..they were going to the fair!

I got KFC for dinner...people must have thought I was feeding a small zoo....16 piece bucket...8 corn on the cobs....bisquits...two large mashed tators...cole slaw and 12 piece chicken strips..what's left...about 1 thigh! LOL! Brought dinner home...kids ate...then we went for ice cream....then beddy time...breakfast at grammy's Sunday morning and then they were off...Jack went home for a 4 yes FOUR hour nap and TJ and I hit up the grocery (AGAIN) and then I did laundry etc...

TJ had a bday party in the afternoon then we got some rain then we went to ride bikes...we are taking the training wheels off tonight so another blog post should be in the near future...then finally BED... I am still tired!

It was fun to have everyone here! See ya next time! :-)

Jack

Just because I have the cutest kid (s) in the world!

Bobcat Fun!

So when TJ doesn't want to work at U P Pess he loves to drive a bobcat! Uncle Henry shows TJ how to get it done and it doesn't take long for TJ to catch on!

Countdown to party time!

Am I crazy? I have been told I am to have all of the house guests I am about to have; especially the mini ones! LOL! I am so EXCITED to have everyone come this weekend! Not only is it gonna be a blast...I have an excuse to not even turn the oven on and it's giving me the kick in the butt to get some of the much needed things done around the house (and rob too). We won't have the basement because we now have someone renting it but we still have the other two floors and we really won't be home that much anyway...O who's coming you ask...

Amy & Jenna
Steph & Brit & Leann & Anthony

With their kids and mine we will have 6 kids under age 5 running around...4, 3, 2 and 1 & 1! LOL! I can't wait...I have literally scrubbed the middle level bathroom; going to do "their" upstairs bathroom tonight...clean sheets ready and waiting to be put on the bed....shampoo carpets and that's it! It's goona be totally crazy and totally loud and I am ready! Friday is Uncle Henry's house for swimming and pizza with Grammy...Saturday is grab what you can breakfast...packed cooler for lunch and off to the waterpark! Saturday night is KFC or something similar for dinner and then the trip will be over! :-(

The next get together will be us going to PA for a sesame place visit! Let's plan it!

See you ladies soon! and you too anthony! :-)

Catch Up Time!!

I haven't posted in awhile...meant to post LAST Monday and just never got around to it....it's been one thing after another so it's catch up time! The boys are doing well. TJ got his head glued together again....see pictures...this makes two gluing's and 1 stitching in his head...back of head was stitches age 2; I was a complete mess...tears everywhere...then came the first glue session under his right eye....I was pregnant for this one so age 3 for TJ and that time I looked at it; said we are going to the hospital and off we went...TJ did pretty good....this time I was at work and got the call to meet Rob at the ER; cut above rt eye...he was fine after the initial tears because of the blood and he was all smiles in the ER....even when they cleaned it and glued it..not a peep...age 4....I am waiting for CPS to give me a buzz!

Where Does Daddy Work?

TJ is in love with the fact that Rob works at UPS; everytime we see a UPS truck he is quick to point out to everyone and anyone that is where his daddy works. Rob gets UPS shirts from work and last night TJ made me fold them all and then he lined them all up; he was wearing one and carrying one around...see picture...my favorite part about where Rob works is listening to TJ try and say it...it's three simple letters U P S but for some reason TJ gets tongue tied and calls it something like U P Pess....I took video so he can always remember it!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Today is the day...well actually it was this morning..EARLY morning...that one year ago we welcomed you into this world! Mommy had her doctors appt on Thursday 7/20 at which point it was decided that you were no where near wanting to come out; nothing was happening not even braxton hicks contractions so my scheduled induction for Monday became a scheduled repeat c-section. I was a little disappointed at having to have another section but it was hot as hell and I wanted you out (just being honest) so on Friday 7/21 I pulled weeds...couldn't sleep well and when I woke up Saturday 7/22 it was odd that I was feeling some pain...well when I could start timing the pain I thought hmm that is odd...I called the doc and he said to come in checked out because of having a section with your brother I needed to be monitored if I was in labor so I told Rob to keep your brother at home I was sure I would be back...drove myself to the hospital..still having contractions about 1 - 3 mins long and about 10 mins apart...checked in; got hooked up and NOTHING..that's right...still nothing..doc said go home; warm bath etc..I got back home about 2:30 and I went to lay down...well at 5 when the contractions had not stopped but instead became stronger I called the doc again and basically said this pain has got to end...so we dropped TJ off at MiMi's and off we went..this time I had to be wheeled from the ER back to labor and delivery and by the time they got me all hooked back up it was about 7 and I was 1cm dialated...at midnight when they could get me in for a section I was 7cm's so I said let's go for it...I started pushing at 3:15 and you were born at 3:33...7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long...you were not actually named until day 2 in the hospital...but you were loved instantly....you are now 1 and just a few days ago became a full on walker...no more crawling...I see running (after TJ) in your near future...you can say a few words but most times it sounds like chinese...you say dixie or doggie; we aren't really sure which; dadda and momma...you still use your bottle but are drinking more and more from a cup (bascially because mommy is sick of bottles). You are a super sleeper and can make me laugh and smile in an instant..you LOVE LOVE LOVE your big brother..as soon as he starts to bust a move you give us your fully belly giggle! Your brother has nicknamed you Trouble and it works because you get into everything. Happy Birthday Jack Ryan...we love you!

Jack's 1st Birthday Party

On Saturday 7/19/08 we celebrated Jack Ryan's first birthday! It was a good time had by all - well most - there was one little snafu' if you will but other than that things ran smoothly. Tons of food fun and people! Aunt Sara's mom made the cakes; two huge cupcakes with "normal" ones surrounding it; they were yummy (so I heard) and a huge hit...something different...thank you soon to be grandma in law Tammy! :-)Here are a few pictures from the big day!

Got to give my doggies some love!

Harley

Dixie

They are like our children as well; Dixie Lou has been through everything with us; she came first and she is a super star...Harley is a little on the dumb side but we love him too! LOL! Here they are in all their splender; you can see how rough they have it! Not sure why the pics came out blurry and you will note that Harley gives me the same face the kids do when they see the camera - enough pictures already!

Two other tidbits

this is what happens when we leave the bathroom door open and TJ's attempt to clean something off of his foot; I love his soaking technique! LOL! He got his foot clean too!
