This is going to be long..

So if you want to pretend to reaD it that's okay. So I had another birthday yesterday, I know you all believe I don't look a day over 25, I get that all the time, actually I tell myself that all the time. So some of you know how much I love to quote the SNL skit Gilly, so I was suprised with some birthday action, don't be scared that is me. I know BEAUTIFUL.

If you haven't seen Gilly google SNL, Gilly.. It is just fun to quote...

So what did I get for my birthday besides a ton of lovin' from the kids. Tom brought me home snickers, which I love but I only like the bottom I cut off the nuts and carmel from the top and give them to Autumn. Some Roses, which I do love, I love to pick the petals and smell them. So sweet. Here are some pictures of birthday goodies.

Nichole got me some sweet aluminum water bottles, they make water soooo cold. Love them.

My VT brought me flowers and goodies and some sweet Activity Days girls gave me a fun surprise. Autumn planned a party for me. It was a good thing that Candy brought over a chocolate cake so we had something to put the candles in. Autumn even made goody bags, she is my daughter. For my birthday Tom said he would drive me to the Arizona Mills Mall (it has the closest Disney Store). Don't you love going to the mall and finding all the things you didn't know you needed ON SALE.. Like these sweeties.

for 2.99 at children's place, Autumn needs boots for monsoon season, right.

These flip flops that Taylor is asleep in right now for $5.00 and why, why isn't there at least 3 Halloween costume holidays a year because I scored this beauty, that I have been trying to snag for 2 years, I promise I needed another Disney costume.
It is a Disney Belle Christmas Dress. Savanna will look BEAUTIFUL in it. I also scored a pair of grey City Shorts at Charlette Russe for myself. So fun, it was a GREAT time.. For me, Tom had to chase the baby 1/2 the time I just said "Welcome to my WORLD." Have a great holiday. Tammi

Tuesday..

It was really a slow day today which is nice. However I finally got some fun pics of Savanna in her new favorite outfit.

These are some of my favorites. I got a ton of them. So Autumn and Taylor were playing and Taylor gets hurt and comes to me crying and Autumn yells "Don't believe her she's lieing(Sp?)" What she cannot even talk. I was laughing so hard. Kids are great. So nothing big going on around here, except some failed attempts at house keeping. Have a great one.

Another week down.

So summer is just flying by. We have been really busy, not crazy just fun busy. The pool every other day. Friends, sleepovers, Savanna is in Musical Theatre and Autumn has gymnastics. Thanks to Melissa for telling me about people ebaying there books. Taylor is so busy that the library is almost the last place I want to be. So I snagged like 40 chapter books for $15.00 on ebay. Good stuff. I went and saw My Sister's Keeper, last night 2 hours of crying, it was such a sweet movie. When we left I told all the people in the Transformer line that I was watching Transformers and it was so sad. I am sure they were confused by what part made me cry. So that is all I have to report, not even any new pictures. Maybe tomarrow. I finally found the bag of curlers to do Savanna's hair. Have a GREAT one, Tammi

Remember the good ole' days...

I rented some movies at the store this weekend and found some oldies but goodies. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the original, and Disney's Swiss Family Robinson. Savanna just read the book and I told her I loved the movie when I was a kid.

Happy Father's Day, Tom is an AMAZING father to his kids and I am GREATFUL for all he does in supporting me, and raising them.. I made the girls some sweet skirts a while ago only to get Tom a father's day gift of matching goodness. Love it.

We had a good week and not alot to do next week. Some movie goodness and swimming. So that is about it for now. Have a great one, Love Tammi

Another Day, another day at the pool.

Yesterday my friend invited us to meet her at tthe aquatic center close to her home. She said it would be worth the drive. So we did, and it was a ton of fun. It was the Foothills Aquatic center. It was a bit more, however there snack bar was quite a bit less. So it all evened out. There was a lazy river which I love. Savanna said she started a conga line on it and got every one to join her. She also got Taylor to play with her. She always cries and says Taylor doesn't like her. SO 2 days at the pool, you can guess what my kids asked first thing when they got up. WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY.. Nothing the fun train is over. Ok so after a while I said we could go get icecream at Mcd's and play. GREAT times. I wish I had my camera. It really is a fun one.

So I have told you all numerous times how naughty Taylor is. Well last night when I came upstairs and heard the kids laughing, I needed to know what is up. This is what I found.It is like she knows that it is where she belongs. Funny girl. So we are back at home, and the kids are having a great time, we shall see what tomarrow brings.

I keep forgetting to share this story, Savanna is very proud of herself and keeps reminding me of her amazing action. I was asked to let a friends dog out of the house yesterday so I asked Savanna and her friend to ride there bikes over to let the dog out.. I gave her the cell phone incase anything were to arise. About 10 minutes later she calls. This is what she says "Dog is out, we are chasing him, never mind we caught him, bye." I chuckle and hang up waiting for another call. They arrive a little while later with all things checked off. She keeps saying I cannot believe we caught him ourself.. I say good job. Kids...

Happy Anniversary...

Tomarrow is Tom and my 9th anniversary. I thought long and hard what to get him. He always comments about how he loved when I had my hair cut in a bob. So that is what I got for him. I cut my hair.

We have some friends staying with us and they have a cute white fluffy dog, that puts Taylor in heaven. She loves on that thing all the time. Sometimes I am slightly tempted to get a dog just because she loves them all so much.

So I went for the gold and bought the season pass to the city pool. We have already gone 4 times, that equals 20 dollars.

How can you not love this. So tonight is movie night at my house the girls are making a big production, with movie tickets, concession stands, and bathroom signs. All the works. Hope you are having a great week. Take care, Tammi

It is not just my kids..

Nobody is safe from having to dress up in costume to take pictures with my kids. I brought my Dumbo costume for A to wear in a pic with Taylor.

I was proud of him, he was a good sport. He probably wanted to take a nap on it more than pictures in it. It is so soft. I also got this picture of Autumn in the A on our way to Califonia adventure. I have been trying to get a good one of her for the last couple of trips.

Last but oh not least Taylor still provides me with enough trouble for all three kids combined. When Savanna and I walked in the door last night Taylor was wearing Savanna's undies and she said, she better not stretch them out, I thought ok I doubt she will. Only to have her walk into the living room like she heard and understood what we were saying. Proud as can be here she is.

So maybe she can strech your undies Savanna. In other news. I swear I was on a phone call with the scout master talking about scouts, I was on a legit. call. When all was said and done I walked upstairs and saw a big smear of something red on the wall (crayon, marker I am not sure) I call out TayLor, she says "what" I look around and cannot find her Taylor she again says 'what", I realize she is in the girls bathroom. I knew it was going to be good. This is what she was up to. As I pull the camera out to document it. She laughs like she is the funniest thing ever. It is hard to stay mad, it is also hard to get lipstick off your body.
