New Nicknames

I've decided that I'm going to use new nicknames for the kiddos on this blog. Teeny is going to be called Tink. Monster will be known as Skinja. And, Lil Chicky is now Pateetee. Now, for the explanations behind their new nicknames. Tink did not come from Tinker Bell, although it is interesting that we sometimes call Teeny Tinker as well. Daddy always comes up with variations of the kids' nicknames. Teeny became Teener; then somehow it transformed into Tinker and shortened to Tink. Sometimes, Daddy calls her Tink-Tink-a-bottle-o'-ink.
Skinja is probably the most amusing nickname. Daddy came up with it because Monster loves to run around in just his diaper/underwear--that's where the skin part of Skinja came. The -ja came because Monster likes to dance and be crazy like a ninja. Put skin and ninja together and you get Skinja. :)
Pateetee. I know you're probably thinking, "Okay, so where in the heck did this come from?" Well, Skinja couldn't say Pateetee's (or TeeTee for short) real name and it came out Afatee. Then it became Aptee. And somehow Daddy managed to transform that to Pateetee.
I hope this doesn't confuse anyone! ;)

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 ...
