Pictures & Craziness

The chew toy of the day=lip gloss...Don't you just love his big brown eyes?

There are those beautiful eyes again! I love 'em!

We read scriptures (or at least try to) every night before Teeny goes to bed. After we read one night, she decided she wanted to read scriptures by herself.

I know you're probably over me posting all of Teeny's crazy outfits, but I just have to show you this one. This is what she wore to get the mail on an 80 degree day. :)

Life has been pretty eventful for us this past week. Well, I guess it has mostly been the past two days. Yesterday was Daddy's first day off work, and we went grocery shopping since he also got paid on Friday. We did a great job shopping deals and using coupons. We spent around $150 on about $300 worth of groceries. The best deal we got was on Pillsbury Grands Biscuits. Albertsons had them on sale 10 for $10, and I had a coupon for 50 cents off 2. Plus they had an in-store coupon for 75 cents off 3, and the biscuits had a coupon on them for another 30 cents off 2 or 3. On top of that, Albertsons doubles coupons between 39 and 50 cents, and triples coupons under 39 cents. So, to make a long story short we got 3 things of biscuits for 35 cents total! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to bargain shopping, but I was pretty proud of myself for that one. Also, we found boneless ribs for 99 cents a pound and couldn't pass it up, which brings me to my next story.
Because we got the ribs, we decided to have them for dinner that night. Of course we didn't have a grill, so we went to Walmart a bought a small one. Once we finally got it put together, Daddy started it up. While it was warming up, Daddy got a phone call and Teeny got really excited to tell them that we were grilling ribs. She went over to the grill and put both her hands on the lid. She burned the palms of both her hands. We ended up taking her to the ER and getting her hands wrapped up and medicine to help with the pain. She cried a lot, and we both felt terrible for her. Now, she is afraid of the stove and anything that is or could potentially be hot, which I guess is kind of a good thing. I haven't taken pictures of her hands without the bandages, but maybe I'll do that tomorrow. They're not too horribly bad, but they are blistered.

Granny came for a visit today and is staying the night. We have been having a blast with her here. We made paper airplanes and flew them outside, colored on the sidewalk (and Daddy), played hopscotch, and made sock puppets. It is so fun to have visitors!

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
