Lucky the picture was not graphic in any way, the impressive part was her trying to write the word "diarrhea" ( which I had to google as even my phones spell check couldn't figure out what I was trying to spell)<br />
<br />
She is just going in to grade one, and from Ella being in it last year, they didn't even start phonetic spelling till the end of the year, well I can tell she made a pretty good attempt at the old poop word! So proud momma moment, writing the word "diarrhea"...<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-mkEd6vXmxRCJWsfCuPchBb2kMFoAFWBv7VN5-3tHTyTTR08qo7wmBCX50Flqj2HCcBFfokY9evKq1Gmtxsl8uWS5AZ4yxqPLfIHfTisESLGXl9ihnqGm_-haKDF-8AId2OSo9m0ZBRC/s640/blogger-image--548112658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-mkEd6vXmxRCJWsfCuPchBb2kMFoAFWBv7VN5-3tHTyTTR08qo7wmBCX50Flqj2HCcBFfokY9evKq1Gmtxsl8uWS5AZ4yxqPLfIHfTisESLGXl9ihnqGm_-haKDF-8AId2OSo9m0ZBRC/s640/blogger-image--548112658.jpg" /></a></div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-4763430187130765382012-04-03T15:50:00.001-07:002012-04-03T15:50:41.441-07:00Cast off!So Ella's got her cast off today, I thought she'd be ripping around like nobodies business, but she's been very teary-eyed and guarded of her arm. She ended not going back to school this afternoon. I convinced her to take a bath and try and move it around a bit.

Something... To those that know her well, this really isn't a surprise, more a matter of when. She plays so hard and is always going/climbing/running/jumping etc. so it happened last wed, as the story goes, she jumped off the swings, jumping forward, landing on her arms, breaking her left one ( her dominant hand) just below the elbow. They estimate in a cast for 4 weeks. Today she got her pink one on!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQrzjGXSHqqH3CGESsWUPcmDvPGGP96Vhx0ZY-tSw7ck9YtaO7-t7N5oPzh07fj9RnspP8NmMuWM2zfXvdOw67ylpSftPldTl7LLYUx9AXGJClxhiBe7T3xOhQP6ThkJiufLjM7FNkx3g/s640/blogger-image-519423765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQrzjGXSHqqH3CGESsWUPcmDvPGGP96Vhx0ZY-tSw7ck9YtaO7-t7N5oPzh07fj9RnspP8NmMuWM2zfXvdOw67ylpSftPldTl7LLYUx9AXGJClxhiBe7T3xOhQP6ThkJiufLjM7FNkx3g/s640/blogger-image-519423765.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlnIA701uT1ed8w0ULn8UdBLXICRlcsnl-llSPasqoxkCjMdUemMx1Idj00bhcpXxVcXl596dwvbX3r0jWTPsQRRoNo6oizg56jV6huIffhW72kiNOQwLD4TcLQJcNp88dHY_eHxMMFTx/s640/blogger-image-850260796.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlnIA701uT1ed8w0ULn8UdBLXICRlcsnl-llSPasqoxkCjMdUemMx1Idj00bhcpXxVcXl596dwvbX3r0jWTPsQRRoNo6oizg56jV6huIffhW72kiNOQwLD4TcLQJcNp88dHY_eHxMMFTx/s640/blogger-image-850260796.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6a89VJlc5nYPa_LRrLlyPx45Of0RY83qCVsTX91-A7nGZD3kC7A73dSf7u23yT56HttX63Q0kwjyVBQQlFdoM4vwzWypPIPUvl2cp-SlD1YegwRwMZPf8yJAl6vGDQTlNJx3ioLrlXQNa/s640/blogger-image--421216669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6a89VJlc5nYPa_LRrLlyPx45Of0RY83qCVsTX91-A7nGZD3kC7A73dSf7u23yT56HttX63Q0kwjyVBQQlFdoM4vwzWypPIPUvl2cp-SlD1YegwRwMZPf8yJAl6vGDQTlNJx3ioLrlXQNa/s640/blogger-image--421216669.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1qxQpQAlSwZy_94_625FAAkbPDSlOV3FGsHngx0Wt-ueSOSsPsd17f6qcR5cmbIQ_HpGVAAum037F6Vfa5hxO1_9OD9BLOvi8JPXjXuB5QQs9pGCiqhonnus3OtXk_N5QSRhqecBsd9Y/s640/blogger-image-1640136620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1qxQpQAlSwZy_94_625FAAkbPDSlOV3FGsHngx0Wt-ueSOSsPsd17f6qcR5cmbIQ_HpGVAAum037F6Vfa5hxO1_9OD9BLOvi8JPXjXuB5QQs9pGCiqhonnus3OtXk_N5QSRhqecBsd9Y/s640/blogger-image-1640136620.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHsSfyh1S-8wU2aDCUm1vIjn8C8ELUJhPybB43aCYfgK1z5xW26zKbz0jDgdNxWd4yFiO3v_lSFFOS6eSoiTdN1opfqmvYGtW43_VdMDRk197WsF_lkJslQO5MhxtRrc-sKDOMvXzyUZj/s640/blogger-image-1101804292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvHsSfyh1S-8wU2aDCUm1vIjn8C8ELUJhPybB43aCYfgK1z5xW26zKbz0jDgdNxWd4yFiO3v_lSFFOS6eSoiTdN1opfqmvYGtW43_VdMDRk197WsF_lkJslQO5MhxtRrc-sKDOMvXzyUZj/s640/blogger-image-1101804292.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbb9YoF5XELSzl8dG-5VfmgvKK9xyHGDphbP3zEFQo-QPzX77vTnWFn9QzYdBaLU8fKynTt9oHwQKNQRFProjecqDrZv3t__eB6kkO2Y9S6dyfiAee134e7I_-f7Z_dWGjxecghfdeQlst/s640/blogger-image--438927005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbb9YoF5XELSzl8dG-5VfmgvKK9xyHGDphbP3zEFQo-QPzX77vTnWFn9QzYdBaLU8fKynTt9oHwQKNQRFProjecqDrZv3t__eB6kkO2Y9S6dyfiAee134e7I_-f7Z_dWGjxecghfdeQlst/s640/blogger-image--438927005.jpg" /></a></div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-1798565548836627652012-02-05T19:59:00.001-08:002012-02-05T19:59:30.133-08:002 more!So Ella let me ( with a bit of help from dad!) pull out her bottom two teeth, they were soooo loose!

I don't know why but 6 seems so much older/bigger than 5! We threw her a tinkerbell party. We made fairy wands, fairy headbands, played ring toss on to some potted flowers, and ate cupcakes- all to earn points to pieces of our treasure map. In the end we put the map together, followed the silly instructions (like doing jumping jacks, and climbing over furniture) and found the treasure (goodie bags)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHOR2mUzzBk9qBkkWwJ61d8k2KG3iYW-X09WpOdpCT_nGTIMQc_t_KzI_SZoGISM0HDkBmP5yDoe5BkALr3ttzZldSHkiE2OBL1rRBcy-Z7V64Fz5MRZq219aKhkMjbbr94qNxcBXPOMpw/s640/blogger-image-161685717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHOR2mUzzBk9qBkkWwJ61d8k2KG3iYW-X09WpOdpCT_nGTIMQc_t_KzI_SZoGISM0HDkBmP5yDoe5BkALr3ttzZldSHkiE2OBL1rRBcy-Z7V64Fz5MRZq219aKhkMjbbr94qNxcBXPOMpw/s640/blogger-image-161685717.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh1iNH5CyJPAsSTK-QMTYou3YfJpx1lJBo6mEW339Ir54wemQAfmLZIisJ1U2nLiehXHiRpUoYExcU-YQ6UyNH7ZDPuJKZxw4j64pvgvjpza7jGufkGvjwAB1axUbmYLMaSZcFWL2SXh3/s640/blogger-image-459030398.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirh1iNH5CyJPAsSTK-QMTYou3YfJpx1lJBo6mEW339Ir54wemQAfmLZIisJ1U2nLiehXHiRpUoYExcU-YQ6UyNH7ZDPuJKZxw4j64pvgvjpza7jGufkGvjwAB1axUbmYLMaSZcFWL2SXh3/s640/blogger-image-459030398.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbTqGUnnr93deTtMvV24mznpDRqZ4uxT0UKGauqg2lrmLRqO8MMo769iH5XXk67nmMlQB2yAbqC940F1-JNI1MFIawz9CF6lGydwFpTgmu_9kJ9dNH5ntkf5k6j3Pi-DaRrmpvhbnvUz3/s640/blogger-image-1340369780.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbTqGUnnr93deTtMvV24mznpDRqZ4uxT0UKGauqg2lrmLRqO8MMo769iH5XXk67nmMlQB2yAbqC940F1-JNI1MFIawz9CF6lGydwFpTgmu_9kJ9dNH5ntkf5k6j3Pi-DaRrmpvhbnvUz3/s640/blogger-image-1340369780.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yaipQErirrtEHcmfKHRJUzcQmykeEkwBfql4rdBmHnphwFQ9x_WftSiE9mvGbM5JQd3guuVakYi_M4LCq4IagmOle5EgDtSNxfT-cW9q0HqWMZgpP1Mk6orBnljD1TjDZEA5rS-rUJnn/s640/blogger-image--2059037205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yaipQErirrtEHcmfKHRJUzcQmykeEkwBfql4rdBmHnphwFQ9x_WftSiE9mvGbM5JQd3guuVakYi_M4LCq4IagmOle5EgDtSNxfT-cW9q0HqWMZgpP1Mk6orBnljD1TjDZEA5rS-rUJnn/s640/blogger-image--2059037205.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPt-Dqb3UgtCZrhzWCcxYoWK2tWQZdwJSnEWqHgIGDIug3eJhzxOsr7s4J8_asoB5xGAlITfmSwkKz4oPw8dTS5M0ZPcycXS1R3aGNTuipW-hTAJGXz6mYtwPqya0wRXLRpvo7IN5bhm0g/s640/blogger-image--1517491702.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPt-Dqb3UgtCZrhzWCcxYoWK2tWQZdwJSnEWqHgIGDIug3eJhzxOsr7s4J8_asoB5xGAlITfmSwkKz4oPw8dTS5M0ZPcycXS1R3aGNTuipW-hTAJGXz6mYtwPqya0wRXLRpvo7IN5bhm0g/s640/blogger-image--1517491702.jpg" /></a></div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-10192885449745645122012-01-04T09:13:00.000-08:002012-01-04T09:13:08.925-08:00It's been a WhileSo it's a sign you haven't blogged in a while when I go to post, and it's all changed and different! I hate that (facebook!) So hopefully after I write this post I can save an publish it with out it getting deleted (another pet peeve).<br />
So I don't really have anything in particular I was going to blog about, just realizing I love reading others blogs, and get so excited when there is something new to read (I really dont' read that many blogs) that maybe others feel the same and look forward to my mindless Mommie mumblings (ha ha I guess I got some rhyming skills for Christmas)<br />
Sooooo.... what to tell you... ok only because they are at it right now.. Keera and Jett have a hate/hate relationship, man can they push each others buttons!! Jett's just getting to that younger brother bugging age, and Keera takes any little 'bug' to heart and it's a major break down. Uhg some days I think siblings are over rated. I do remember my brother and I going at it pretty good. Heck I bet ALL sibling recall at one time or another really having a hard time loving their siblings. But really SOMEDAYS... ahhhggggg. There are the occasions when they can play nice together, I hope those surface more often!<br />
<br />
ok so I just deleted that whole paragraph up there, don't know how, but thank goodness I could it the back button and it came back, whew, that was a close call!! Hold on while I go "save" this .. ok we're good.<br />
<br />
So I finally got that quilt done for my Mom this Christmas, turned out pretty good I think, she was quite happy with it. And of course I forgot to take a picture, but i'm sure she'll take one once she gets back to AZ and gets in on her bed. It feels good to have that project off my table (litterliy). I have a couple other ideas I want to get started on. I think I am done my baking phase and heading in to another sewing phase, which is a good thing! I just need my sewing space back. Right now we are in the process of developing the basement so I have the kitchen table, but that is a pain. Hopefully with in say... 2 weeks??? We'll see :)<br />
<br />
So ya, we're doing our basement. I was just feeling the main floor of the house was getting too cramped, it was where we were doing all our living. We have a bonus room, but it's outside the kids rooms so we never really used it. But in prepping for drywall (meaning making room for drywall) we brought all the kids toys upstairs and re-arranged the couch and now.. I LOVE IT, we spend the day up here, it's so nice to have a change of space. We have a small (like 12-14") tv with dvd player we got free from our neighbours and some of the toys (others are in their rooms ) It's actually nice having a small tv as I find it doesn't become the focus of the room, it can be on but the kids often will play with their toys more than watch it. Where as if it's our huge what ever inch TV then it's like a magnet they get drawn in to. So i'm thinking the downstairs will be a bit more a grown up TV area with minimal to no toys (ya!) I have plans to make it a "modern western" theme. <br />
<br />
Oh and something we are trying (2 days now) is from 6pm to 7pm no electronics (no tv, ipods, phones, computers ect) it's our family hour. 1st we do our chores (tidy toys, put away laundry if needed, cleaning aprox 20min) then we do a game of some sort. Mon night we did FHE so I taught a mini version of my lesson from Sunday and we made CTR shields. Last night we folded laundry then played a princess matching card game then read 3 stories. I am really enjoying it so far, and the hour actually goes really fast. We are defiantly a family who love their electronics so it's nice to shut them off for a bit and it's also feels good to have some quality time. We have never been great at FHE.. hopefully this will encourage a more consistent effort for it as well. <br />
<br />
Well this has gotten pretty long, and well I feel like it's more just a blabbering of me than any specificity post. Oh well.tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-33615785467121309002011-10-07T22:28:00.000-07:002011-10-07T22:30:12.822-07:00Skating..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took the kids skating for the first time tonight, and it was the first time in a loooong time for skating for mom and dad too! everyone did soo good! Keera took off amazing, I think her toe pics helped but she was loving it and fell lots but got up again no problem. She was off on her own just cruising around the rink, so proud of her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ella reall was excited to go, but we got her boy skates (just a fit issue) so she was trying to push off from her toes, and well that doesn't work! She managed to stay upright while holding the skate assist bar, but really was all over the place. She has such a great attitude though, she just kept at it. I think we will exchange her skates for figure skates, to giver her a helping hand. Jett also went, he was more hesitant, but wanted to go on the ice a few times, and tryed with the skate assiste, and was able to move a bit. I think he was really scared to fall, and now reading tonight, it's best to teach them how to fall, even do games like ring around the rosie (where they all fall down) so it's not a big deal. We kept it positive and every did great. We went home and washed the evening down with some good old hot chocolate!!</div>

<br /><div>...is probably what you are thinking.. </div><div> </div><div>Yes we are here, and alive.. just busy.. with what I don't know. And also I had a monkey on my back.. I do annual birthparents update, usually due end of March, but I was late, then we moved, then the postal strike, then I was lazy, then lazy a bit more. But FINALLY got them done and in the mail so I can blog guilt free (instead of thinking, I SHOULD be working on the update.) That is sort of like my sewing right now. My Mom's Christmas present in 2009 (yes 2009) was a quilt for her place in AZ. As of today, Aug 11th, 2011 it is still not done and I have such guilt about it! Uhg. I do better with small to med. projects. It really would take maybe 1/2 a day if I sat down and just did it. But that time frame translated in to 'with kids' = like a cajillion years. So needless to say I have a bunch of think i'd like to get sewing but I have guilt every time I go to sew something other than the quilt. I've made the odd thing, but they are just sit down get'er done projects (= less than 1hr).</div><div> </div><div>Anyways.. so the summer has been good, really pretty busy and has gone really fast which is good as I was quite scarred the beginning of the summer, having 3 kids all day, everyday. But it's been good. Despite no yard, despite rain really almost everyday (REALLY!). We've been busy with swim lessons, company, going to visit family, camping etc. Now we are down to the last 3 weeks (3 weeks today actually!!) and I think yikes we haven't done a bunch of stuff I thought we would! </div><div> </div><div>But truth betold, I am already anticipating all the stuff I can do when the kids go back to school (snicker snicker). Tues and Thurs afternoons, from 12:45m-2:45pm I will be KID FREE, 1st time in well.. ever! It will be crazy. You know what else is crazy? I'm already feeling like "ekk, am I really ready for Ella to be gone all day, everyday.. really that means her teachers/friends will be spending more time with her than her parents (well me!) It's kinda a scary thought! Yes she drives me crazy and gets in to tons of stuff and drives me crazy (did I say that already?) It's scary as a parent to 'let go' and not be there for them, to watch over and feel comfort in that you are right there, or will be back in a couple hours. There is so much that goes on at school and even I can remember back to those scary/sad times that you have at school and to think she'll have those and I won't be there.

Sounds soooo old to me (lets face it, it's getting up there!) So Ella did not have any school today due to kindergarten orientations for the next years (keera went yesterday) and I thought - uhg what am I going to do all day with the kids, and me, that is sorta fun.. Well I decided to just do lots of fun things with them to a) keep them busy, b) keep them happy c) get us out of the house d)keep them busy e)make the day go faster f) lessen the chance of fighting .. and well it worked!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>So the day started at 5:15am (ha ha NOT planned) Ella and Keera were up this early, and I was NOT HAPPY! so we put Keera in Jay's closet and Ella back in her room and got a bit more sleep (and have decided to try Keera and Jett sharing a room). So first stop was Kidz Quarterz, in Sherwood park, basically a "Lets Play" place but 1/2 the price. Surprisingly we were the only ones there at 10am but then some more kids trickled in so they were able to have some fun times playing. We were there for about 1.5hrs and the off the door with a .05cent candy as bribery to leave. </div><div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSI80TLojh9T-PMIylirTQu9yZSyg99JwC-Fu-tgygyfyTr4HbUXU_aZh5PA0X7h6u-GRKQMRbdZCgFKC42gxvzaDgbVDSoJywU4NlnrDqIjMiaT_kr8vbWBOdK09y8DGbiza8VURn0Bv/s1600/IMG_1547.JPG"><img style="width: 240px; height: 320px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613795311064962194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSI80TLojh9T-PMIylirTQu9yZSyg99JwC-Fu-tgygyfyTr4HbUXU_aZh5PA0X7h6u-GRKQMRbdZCgFKC42gxvzaDgbVDSoJywU4NlnrDqIjMiaT_kr8vbWBOdK09y8DGbiza8VURn0Bv/s320/IMG_1547.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhagoh3HtEGE8q6g6UQk5D-f_3fWlzRCTMYcUUi5QN9V3T4N59061eOZ2fH8SD1cCmhDynIThlErZoz3g3chC1RSgV246k7mIsDBngE9FmwxSNKSxDdBl9dS6J_dWbFwkwlx2s6E8__o6h2/s1600/IMG_1548.JPG"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613795316121807282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhagoh3HtEGE8q6g6UQk5D-f_3fWlzRCTMYcUUi5QN9V3T4N59061eOZ2fH8SD1cCmhDynIThlErZoz3g3chC1RSgV246k7mIsDBngE9FmwxSNKSxDdBl9dS6J_dWbFwkwlx2s6E8__o6h2/s320/IMG_1548.JPG" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBpvLoRlFSjN-5es1N4xOO7Xd8-r8eFKkSaP9UtTTHtnZp1tbO9HuMmwnxHRzvhTpyDOV72R6_QzNBxpwvcbpVrtocFXZX5hKQx6iKFZjJUlFPP-d1CuKQm-5Fqe0G4qC2AiUvOQ3sLZH/s1600/IMG_1552.JPG"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613795327333490370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBpvLoRlFSjN-5es1N4xOO7Xd8-r8eFKkSaP9UtTTHtnZp1tbO9HuMmwnxHRzvhTpyDOV72R6_QzNBxpwvcbpVrtocFXZX5hKQx6iKFZjJUlFPP-d1CuKQm-5Fqe0G4qC2AiUvOQ3sLZH/s320/IMG_1552.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>We were going to go to Ikea for cheap hot dogs for lunch but then I thought, hey why don't we go surprise Daddy and have lunch with him!

It was a little healthier than I had planned but I guess you gotta sacrifice sometimes. We got to tour Dad's office and meet some of his co-workers and boss.

Jay went with the girls, Jett and I were waiting at the walk in clinic (he has a congested cough) so they made a kite and Ella was quite excited to fly it today. Surprisingly it worked really well.

He has amazing work ethic and commitment to the company and it is paying off for him. He has had a pretty big learning curve but already has things pretty well mastered and is above schedule on his assignments to date! I am so grateful for a hardworking husband and someone who takes pride in his work. He is a good provider and has stretched out of his comfort zone to provide a better home life for his family. Having him home every night at a pretty consistent time has been one the biggest ++'s in my mind. It saves my sanity each day knowing when he'll be home (to 'save' me, lol). Also to have him off Sundays is so wonderful as well, I know it will do nothing but benefit the family. The weekends go so fast now, we were use to having him for 4-5 days off at a time, but it's a small sacrifice for all the positives. Thank you Jayme for being a great provider, love you XOXO</div><div> </div><div>Here is a pic of his office, and his dual computer screen's that he's quite proud of!</div><div> </div><div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkSRezUjCplz9Bp-MrqNVenHyI-zWyJgeDjWBQul5crOkna1snIPLfJun69Vfn0cCERxjLk5_LzR241_9NRqo936oJWmBlVjYyjfdJ8wxNW5LWfMezrN2cpuw14HsKyUUbzR2oZO5WfHB/s1600/new+office.jpg"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607454201991539954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkSRezUjCplz9Bp-MrqNVenHyI-zWyJgeDjWBQul5crOkna1snIPLfJun69Vfn0cCERxjLk5_LzR241_9NRqo936oJWmBlVjYyjfdJ8wxNW5LWfMezrN2cpuw14HsKyUUbzR2oZO5WfHB/s320/new+office.jpg" /></a></div><div> </div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-6924511736541012082011-05-15T16:20:00.000-07:002011-05-15T16:25:27.188-07:00Go-Greem<div><div>... that's what Jett calls ice cream. Yesterday we were cleaning the garage and the kids were riding up and down the sidewalk. Then we heard the sound... the sound of a "go-greem" truck. The kids were sooooo excited, so of course we had to buy some. It was a tuff decision but they all ended up choosing the same thing, a rug-rats themed ice cream, so $10.50 later for 4 ice creams, we took a break and enjoyed the surprise treat. We had limited seating but the scaffolding worked great. I'm sure it will be a familiar sound this summer... the go-greem truck.</div><div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidYfxbsWQTRgdg51SWCUOvXcmZDg8Qo3p0nW873_SVjNLu9zY57PkopoVodpad_4X8fmN4RyG3PdojRGWaFptef1LaybW5FpOx3shlOg4pxhyphenhyphenc7E1KU57FC38VXXt6jMMz0o-M0wk-Y87d/s1600/IMG_1526.JPG"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607087794047704386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidYfxbsWQTRgdg51SWCUOvXcmZDg8Qo3p0nW873_SVjNLu9zY57PkopoVodpad_4X8fmN4RyG3PdojRGWaFptef1LaybW5FpOx3shlOg4pxhyphenhyphenc7E1KU57FC38VXXt6jMMz0o-M0wk-Y87d/s320/IMG_1526.JPG" /></a></div><div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXvBVC27vkJSQjQSCbupg48_i_vLcvkikrYcMHnayNJNtnhaBdh8v7-Il78INpEHbglXZXUJs7xGE3FrF2s89uiwc1UNSUoym5cjt-3Hkw-VwGLgM0pw002TvqpbQPnBjie8rVuMeEOqv/s1600/IMG_1527.JPG"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607087792765046658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXvBVC27vkJSQjQSCbupg48_i_vLcvkikrYcMHnayNJNtnhaBdh8v7-Il78INpEHbglXZXUJs7xGE3FrF2s89uiwc1UNSUoym5cjt-3Hkw-VwGLgM0pw002TvqpbQPnBjie8rVuMeEOqv/s320/IMG_1527.JPG" /></a></div></div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-17326737129593201892011-05-14T11:55:00.001-07:002011-05-14T12:02:54.737-07:00Boy Style<div><div>So since we've been potty training Jett, he started out sitting, moved to 'frog style' and now is experimenting with standing, he's just tall enough if he lifts the seat.

But I didn't realize he was doing 'boy style' pooing, with the seat up and his but to the bowl, pooping in.

I was not happy, at all. Who know's how long they had been up. So get them all back in bed. 4am, same thing!! + lights on downstairs. So in reality they probably did not go back to sleep. Get them all back in bed, with STRICT instruction to stay there.. (ya right) 4:30am after a quick doze by me.. I hear something again, not so many lights on this time, actually only the girls, with the door close, open it and Jett's in there too, and the room is a DISASTER.. So not a happy Mom.. get Ella down in her bed, Jett in his and put Keera in my closet, as obviously they were not going to sleep together.. Finally they went to sleep. Actually Keera slept till 8:20am, Ella 8:35am and Jett was up when Keera got up so not sure when he was up. (they usually up 6-6:30 these days, which I'm not crazy about either)</div><div> </div><div>So that was the exciting night at the Gibb household last night. If our neighbors where up I'm sure they wonder about the hours we keep! </div></div>tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-87102584389743329202011-05-11T20:51:00.000-07:002011-05-13T08:13:33.641-07:00Potty Trained!!!!I think I can say it now, with out jinxing things.. but <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jett</span> is potty trained!! We started more seriously a few weeks before we moved (dumb I know but he was just seeming ready) and besides the day we moved in (where he <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">peeed</span> on our brand new hardwood and our basement floor) he has not had any accidents! + he has been dry this whole time during naps too! (naps in his undies, night time with a pull up) we've noticed he's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> more dry in the morning as well. I can't <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">believe</span> we are done with diapers. Kinda sad, but <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">defiantly</span> happy about it!!<br />He's so cute the way he "goes" he likes to stand/squat on the toilet seat and pee, sorta frog like. He's just barely tall enough now and is starting to stand and pee, so cute!tallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223161905645665924.post-25819490073104909282011-05-11T16:33:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:41:31.299-07:00TestTesttallmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810774408415789471noreply@blogger.com0
