Happy Anniversary Joe and Calista!

I guess I should say a very belated Happy Anniversary! You guys make a great couple, and even greater parents! Magnus is very lucky to have you guys, may you have many more happy years!
( So sorry this is late, I'm just now uncovering some of my photos that have been in storage for several years!)

Ever had one of these days?!

This and That

Tyler had his 9 month check up yesterday. He is such a happy baby, nothing really fazes him at all. Thankfully he didn't have to get any shots, just a routine check. He weighs 20 lbs. and is 29 1/2 inches long, where did my little baby go? :( He was hamming it up for me sitting on the exam table, he loved sitting on the paper and kicking his legs really fast to make quite a racket! Tyler also had his first blood test, nothing major, just a finger prick to test his hemoglobin which came back fine. We were in and out of the office pretty quickly, love Dr.'s and offices like that!

We also went to a Demolition Derby last night that a friend of Tim's was competing in. Afterwards Brianna was allowed to choose which ride she wanted to ride. She probably would've been allowed to ride more but she had some obedience issues earlier that day so was limited to just one! She certainly enjoyed the little cars that went around in a big circle. They reminded me of an antique little car that my brother used to have, they were cute.

Mmmmm,Mmmmm

There's nothing like the taste of fresh peach pie in the middle of summer! It helps to chase away the blues from being all cooped up inside the house because of the triple digits heatwave outside!

For those of you who know me well, you know that I LOVE to get my children's pictures taken. I think I took Brianna once a month for her first 12 months, I haven't done that well with Tyler, mostly because he's not that crazy about strangers and especially when they're making funny faces at him and trying to get him to smile! I believe my Mom bought this dress for Brianna in Mexico before Tyler was even born. Since then I have wanted to get these pictures but was waiting until Tyler could stand with Brianna's help. I was so elated that they turned out well, I splurged and purchased a 20x24 of the one to the right. They're only little once, right?! :)

Brianna - 4 yrs. Tyler - 9 mo.

Computer problems fixed!

Wow, I certainly had my doubts that I would be posting this soon, but Best Buy managed to get our CPU fixed yesterday, I fell connected to everybody again! So happy! My dad sent me this and I just had to share it.

Property Laws of a Toddler

1. If I like it, its mine.
2. If it's in my hand, its mine.
3. If I can take it from you, its mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, its mine.
5. If its mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, its mine.
8. If I saw it first, its mine.
9. If you are playing with something, and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If its broken, its yours.

Computer failure! :(

Well, it's bound to happen one time or another. This happened to be my time, I guess. The hard-drive on our computer is really messed up, it's not responding at all. (Can you hear me sobbing as I write this?) I'm totally going through withdrawals without my computer and it's only been 1 day! Just so everybody doesn't think I've dropped off the face of the earth I came down to library to post today, I know, I was really desperate! We're planning on taking the CPU back to Best Buy where we bought it Sat, hopefully they'll be able to fix it that day, if they don't I guess I'll get lots of extra housecleaning done in the time when I would have been blogging!
I 'll defintely be keeping busy tomorrow. A friend offered Tim all the sweet corn that we want, right now we have about 10 dozen or so sitting in the garage waiting to be husked, cooked and put into freezer bags, I don't think I'll be sitting around wondering what to do!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who comments on my blog, it's so great to meet new friends this way and stay in touch like this!
