Picture time = torture your sister
The forced pose - Tian refusing to smile
Trace - I think he threw something at me...
Don't be fooled by the sweet look here...Ithink Tian was apologizing for nearly catapulting him from the chairI can' t believe it has only been 3 months. I can't remember life without Trace...sleeping in (Tian will occasionally allow it), clean floors, predictable schedule, less foot stomping and "no" shouting- those things are all DISTANT memories.
Trace has officially bonded - he can throw one heck of a temper tantrum , he insists I give him his bottlewhile holding it myself and rub hisear, he will not go to nursery at church, he knows where all the snacks are (even the ones I have forgotten about) and he gives the best hugs and the WETTEST kisses.
We have been busy with Cub Scouts, baseball and more baseball, finished Track...
Poor Trevor most of the meets were rained out, but he had a great season. He followed in TJ's footsteps and mainly ran the mile. Trevor is also playing baseball for the junior high and is hoping to play Catcher if they ever have a game that isnt't called for the rain.
TJ has been busy working at a horse farm 3-4 days a week and at Costco. He has started classes at DMACC and is working on stuffing a raccoon ( you have to ask him for the gory details.) Daisey ( the puppy) managed to catch a full grown turkey- another story TJ can fill you in on.
Ty has been busy with Cub Scouts. He has now entered the Webelos den and is madly trying to finish it all :o) He LOVES playing catcher for his Little League team. If only he hustle like that at home...
Tian is busy bossing everyone around. She even instructed the neighbor girls today on how to eat their popsicles. She is excited to have a birthday and have "a princess cake and lots and lots of presents just for me."
The last 2 days have been a busy blur- TJ is having a small party to celebrate graduation so I decided it was high time we actually hung the pictures on the walls. Of course, since I am busy nap times have been non-existant. Tian has managed to get into Trace's crib to giggle through nap time. For a girl who needs her beauty sleep this is not a good thing. Today she was finally relagated to my bed which was accompanied by much foot stomping and that lovely ear piercing scream all little girls possess. Trace started to scream - decided it was too much trouble and instead resorted to calling "ma-ma" every 3 seconds. She fell asleep in about 2 minutes, he stuck with the mama mantra for about a half an hour before he won :o)

The latest Tian-ism: Today was ...one of those days it is 5:00 no one has napped, there are pictures EVERYWHERE, no dinner in the oven, I tried to hang up just one more and slipped of the stool and nearly killed myself as my two assistants, Trevor and Ty, tried to decide weather to laugh or help. I get up, head for the kitchen to make dinner, get aphone call that TJ neglected to arrange a speaker for Boy Scouts Wednesday - leave him a nasty messagesince he is at Costco while I fume that I have reminded him at least 75 times to get a speaker( aren't you glad you didn't get that message? Trevor laughed when I ended it by saying,I"I am not happy, but I love you." Then, just as I am feeling good and guilty of leaving him a mean message on his cell phone while he at work, Tian starts whining, so I did what any other tired, cranky mother would do - I looked at her and whined right back saying, " I have nearly died trying to make the house look nice, I am trying to figure out what to make for dinner, my leg hurts and the floor is sticky again, what else do you want from me?"
Without missing a beat she saw her moment looks at me with those big black eyes and replies, "A piece of gum."
Needless to say, who couldn't laugh after that. Dinner made it to the table, DAise is licking the floor and the pictures will still be there tomorrow....
The pictures are from today - after hanging up pictures I realized I need some cute ones to hang of these 2. It turned into a Punch and Judy festival. I am thinking hiring a photogragher...
