They know more than they let on.

Tennna has a new game, she likes to dump out her baggie of cereal and eat it off the floor. Today daddy and I were working on a picture book for her and she decided it was time to play the game. Well, she dumped out her cereal then left for the kitchen. I called her back and told her it was time to clean up. Lo and behold she came back with the broom and dustpan! Maybe we really will be able to start doing chorse in a few months (haha, dream on)! Posted by Picasa

Daddy did my hair!

And you wonder why we don't let daddy do her hair very much! Actually this isn't as cool looking as the first time he got this band on her head, but it gives you the idea. Funny, she won't leave clips or rubber bands in when I do her hair, but if daddy does it...that's a different story! Posted by Picasa

Ode to Summer

This one is for you Stephanie P! I loved the little fruit baby pic, so I had to put up our reply! I am glad that she is enjoying the fruits of the season, though it does mean I never get to finish a piece of fruit unless she is sleeping! Posted by Picasa

Tenna isn't ALWAYS a morning person!

I think this face must be what Tenna sees on me every morning when I wake up, so it is natural that she pulls it sometimes! Posted by Picasa

Shoes

June Cleaver wore pretty shoes while she cleaned, I am off to a good start! Gramma visited this weekend and brought Tenna three new pairs of shoes! No one can tell me that shoe fettish isn't a gender thing because she was very specific about which shoes she wanted to where and when. Even before anything else was done, she had to have pretty shoes on! Posted by Picasa

Dorky moms

Tenna and I spent a few days in Lyman, and while there my mother-in-law and I started on a project! We started off with the idea to make an outfit for Tenna, but found we had enough extra to throw something together for Andi as well! After many initial mishaps we decided next time to just buy a pattern, but I thought I would post a picture because they did turn out pretty cute! Tenna's probably won't fit by the time Andi gets here, but that just means I have more projects!
Thanks for the motivation Ardell, it has kept me busy durring nap time the past two days! Posted by Picasa

Funny, I don't remember serving HAM!

Tenna was really on one tonight at dinner! She may not have been too into eating, but she sure was making some good faces. This is sure a fun age to be! I can't believe that she is 15 months old already! My little squishy blob is turning into a little girl right before my eyes. I am very glad that she can be silly, and that she doesn't mind me joining in!
We all went to the air show yesterday at Hill Airforce Base. Tenna did very well, and was fascnated by all the flying things, though the noise was often a bit too much for her. I think daddy got the biggest kick out of it! Posted by Picasa

This is what I think of your green beans!
No, she is not actually picking her nose, this is a pose that she likes to do. Posted by Picasa

Let's try this again, here is the picture... Posted by Picasa

Calling all other messy mommies


And people wonder why I can never get the dishes done, even with a dishwasher! I unload the dishes, then I have to unload the toys, Mary Poppins DVD and baby before I can even begin to reload. The baby, however, is on auto reload mode, so it pretty much has to wait for her nap.
Should I mention that while I ha
.
, eh-uh, excuse me, while I have been typing this Tenna has dumped out a box of crayons, eaten the tip off one, pullled down all of the shorts that are drying from laundry day, removed half of the items in our computer drawers,and helped me type. Wow, busy girl. I guess I better get back to work, no more slacking mom!
Did I mention that she doesn't quite understand that sorting laundry means we put things INTO baskets, not take them out? So much to learn! Posted by Picasa

Happy Memorial Day....a bit late

Well I have an excuse, we were in Boston! What better way to celebrate memorial day? We were able to visit the gravesites, homes and hangouts of many of the Revolutionary greats, as well as some post-revolutionary sites (ie. "Old Iron Sides").
It was eye opening to realize the suffering of the individuals, well known or obscure, in bringing about the country, and freedoms we now enjoy. It was certainly a different world, with different ideals.
I want to say "Thank you," to all of the people I know that have ever served in the armed forces, supported a noble cause or stood for truth. That is what I want to remember and revere this Memorial Day. Posted by Picasa

"Old Iron Sides"

A trip to Boston would not be complete for Albert and I if we didn't go see the USS Constitution. My mom graciously guided us around the historic sites, first fulfilling our request! I won't post too many pics, but this is the day that I have pictures from, so here goes. Posted by Picasa

Hmm, more of the people than the boat

Well this pic is more of Tenna and Albert than the boat, but that is ok. You can see how short the decks were. The average male back then was between 5'6" and 5'8", so Al was a bit above the cut. He got a good workout lunging through the lower decks trying to keep Tenna's head from bonking! Did I mention yet that this was a really good daddy/daughter vacation? Posted by Picasa
