10 on Tuesday, er, uhm, Wednesday
I was gonna do this yesterday but got a little distracted by a little thing like winning a trip to Jamaica!! Yeah baby! Thank you all for your comments, yesterday was a complete blast!! 1. Ty now 100% truly and honestly believes he is famous. But, he was not happy I taped him on the sly and bargained for use of it here on the blog. He could have asked for much more on his side of the bargain, I got what I wanted pretty easy. I think his reaction was priceless. Too bad the clip cut off before he picked up his backpack, tossed it into the air and then stopped cold and said "WAIT, ARE YOU FILMING ME!?" […]
YEA MON!
WE WON! And we are THRILLED!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all who voted!! I’m so proud of Ty, award winning at the age of 10!! He rocks! You can see the announcement here. We’re still in disbelief! When I found out both Taryn and Teagan were napping so I did a huge and quiet happy dance right in the middle of the living room! Then I started speed dialing family! Ty got off the bus about an hour after I found out and I decided to tape his reaction on the sly. He thought I was taping Teagan’s new laugh when he came in from outside. He was just a tad excited….excuse my dorky laugh, it’s […]
cuddle bugs
They are. Look at his little hand on her arm…and her arm cuddling over his belly. Love em. He laughed out loud today for the first time. First with Jase, he had to work for it, apparently, imitating a speedboat is pretty darn funny. But right before bed tonight, Taryn was playing with the sock monkey, Teagan took one look at her and belted out a big old belly laugh. So big, his head fell backwards in laughter. Pure joy, so stinkin cute. And T’s face lit up from the inside out. I loved her reaction as much as I enjoyed hearing his big belly laugh. We spent our day hanging out with Alli, Mike & Lily at a block […]
swim
I’m just plain out of creative titles…here are some more pics from yesterday. We had a good time!
Uhm, when did this happen?
I’m not sure, but I wasn’t looking. It sneaks up on you, because I’d swear just yesterday he was a tiny baby, cuddled in my arms, just like Teagan. Then WHAM-O, he’s 11. Without a doubt, he makes me feel old. Can’t wait for his party! Ok, I gotta tell you guys about taking these pics. I decided early yesterday morning was a good time to go and we’d likely have the pool to ourselves. So Ty and I head down to the pool by ourselves and I’m taking a few shots. I couldn’t get close enough to him for the splash shotin the great big pool with my 24-70 mm zoom, so even though I’m fully dressed, I wade […]
A testament to my laziness
Remember this…I couldn’t forget about re-doing this shot all together. But I also couldn’t bring myself to iron, so I ditched the pretty (wrinkled) euro pillows. Yeah, I’m pretty lazy. And hey, do you know where lazy people like to hang out?? JAMAICA!! How ya like that segway 😉 TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE! Thanks to all of you who have voted for us daily….we’ll be on pins and needles until the winner is announced Monday!
