Much Ado About...

 If you know me, since I have had children, you will know that I have given all my grace and coordination to my kids.  I seem to have nothing left.  Just ask Supremo.  Lately I have been beginning to notice that I may have given everything to my first two, and left nothing for the Diva.  Case in point.  I was doing the dishes one morning and she came running into the kitchen.  All the sudden the slow motion kicked in and I watched her fall and smack her lips on the corner of the dishwasher.  There was weeping, wailing, and knocking of teeth.  Lip was swollen and blood was gushing from her two front teeth.  They had been knocked back.  I called the dentist and rushed her over.  My wonderful neighbor took the boys so we could run.  We got some x-rays and her teeth were fractured, but were going to be fine because they were baby teeth.  Then he said to me.  Wow.  She has a lot of fractures on these teeth.  I then began to remember about all the many times she has fell on her face.  Yup.  She missed out on the coordination.  I guess there was just nothing left to give her.  T-Bug is doomed.

Notice in this one that the tooth on the left is down a little bit.  The dentist said that her teeth may turn brown.  FABULOUS!

Flag football finished up for the season.  Supremo got to coach their last game.  It was so fun to watch.

We went on a trip to Washington this month.  It was a really quick trip.  Supremo's Dad had surgery, so we went up to keep him from working.  There is just something in the blood of farmers that won't allow them to take a break once in a while.
On the way there we saw a house moving down the road.  This is something my sister Juicy wants to have one day.  A portable house.  I didn't get very good photos because I didn't have the right camera lens for that.

We spent our time there making swords out of PVC, Foam Insulation, and Duct Tape.  I made quite a few daggers.  I couldn't stop.  It was so fun.  Here is my nephew and the Diva testing their skills.

This was the best part.  Redneck Grass Surfing.  It was a blast.  I watched the kids go around a few times and then I had to try it out.  I fell off a couple times and rolled in the grass.  Hilarious.  I would recommend it.

 That's the Diva and I on the back sitting down.  Going across the pivot tracks really did a number to my bum.  Totally worth it to listen to the Diva say, "I'm doing it."

Celebrating Grandma's birthday.  The kids blew the candles out more than once.

T-Bug and Grandma

Noodle couldn't get enough of playing the game 'Snorta'.  It's quite comical.  Making animal sounds at each other.

T-Bug and my niece.  The girls had way too much fun with him around.  I don't know if I held him the entire time we were there.

Not Red

Just a little note to my Aunties.

 Cute as I am, my hair is blonde not red.

Deal with it.  Ha ha ha.

Dos Meses

 Here he is!  Two months old!  Our sweet little T-Bug!  He has been such a joy in our family.  He is a good baby.  He sleeps well until about 2 or 3 in the morning and then he grunts until about 7.  He is our most chill baby, but he is also the loudest.  The doctor told me at the last appointment that I needed to record his grunting so he can listen to it when he is older.

 This month he is 10 lb. 15 oz. (30%)  22.5 inches tall (31%)  and his head is 15.5 inches (33%).  He is really growing.  Except his head this time which is now more proportionate than it was last month.  No more giant cranium action here.

 He doesn't like being on his tummy very long, but it is the best way to clean out his nose.  He still keeps his eyes open wide so he can absorb all the information he can.  He may be lactose intolerant (Which may explain the grunting).  He has really chappy cheeks, which we just started remedying (is that even a word?) today.  They are look much better and he may have normal cheeks next month.  He loves to smile and coo.  I love it.  He has such a chill personality.  He will hang out for a long time by himself before he decides he need some attention.  We love this little guy in our family.

We got to go on a trip to Washington (posts on that later) and on the way home we made a brief stop in Utah to visit family!  Here he is with one of his Great Grandpas.  I don't know why I didn't get a photo of him with his other one.

 A photo with one of his Great Grandmas.  (Again the whole don't know why I didn't get a photo with his other one.)

We love and adore you little T-Bug!

What are you up too?

We have been learning about the sun in school and it has been so great.  I have learned things like thermonuclear fusion and that if you compared the sun to the earth, in a way that we can fathom it, the sun would be the size of a basketball and the earth would be the size of a peppercorn.  How amazing that seems.

 Our experiment this time was melting chocolate with a magnifying glass.  The magnifying glass represents our eye, because they work in approx. the same way.  Our eye is a curved lens like a magnifying glass.

That is why you should not stare at the sun.  Just like when you focus a small beam of sunshine with a magnifying glass, you eye will focus a small beam on the back of your retina.  When we did this little experiment I thought it would just melt the chocolate.  I was wrong.  It burned the chocolate.  Notice the burn mark on the front square.  (We had to go with cadbury.  It's my favorite, and we wouldn't want it to go to waste, just because it tasted bad.)

T-Bug loves his car seat.  It's what he naps in, sleeps in at night, and sort of just chills in.  He is so portable this way.

Seriously???

 We got to visit a pioneer town for MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers).  It was so fun.  They have recreated and fixed old buildings to make this little town.  My Grandma C.  would love it!

Working in the blacksmith shop.

This was the all time favorite for my boys.  They spun around so fast, I was sick.

Sometimes I wonder if I need a shot of this.  

Nope, things are already crazy without it.
