black eyed boy

Tuesday I got a call from Tristens school asking if I would come up there and take a look at his new black eye. He got it at recess playing FOOTBALL and he landed at the bottom of the pile with another kids grill on his forehead.

When I got to the school he was laying down in the office with the classic 1/2 melted ice in a baggie over his eye. It wasn't that black and blue yet but pretty swollen. He was so tough and with big tears in his eyes he said to me - mom just make sure to tell dad I didn't cry. Holy crap I almost cried (imagine that). Poor baby, I wanted to scoop him up like a baby and just kiss him. It looked like it hurt! But the girls in the office also made a big fuss over him and told him he won the "injury of the month" and then of course he felt better because he won something.

He is SO all boy and HELLO?! just like his daddy.

here's some snaps of the black eye-

and if there is a camera around Tanner wants in.

And I'm happy to report that people that were trying to make out with my belly, haven't bothered me that much lately. I mean I still cant walk into a room without some genius making a jackass comment but if they quit touching me, I might not invision karate chopping them in the gut.

I feel huge and I still have 3 months to go. I'm pretty tired allot, and I'm still nauseous but she is growing better and I get ultrasounds every month so thats always cool. I'm gonna get the 4d ultrasound too. Ive seen pictures before and it's soooo amazing. I figure this will be the last time I can do it so I'm in, insurance wont cover it but it's not too pricey. $85 and its for an hour- you get lots of pictures and they record it to a dvd for you. I'm excited. I wonder if I can figure out how to load it on a blog?! hmmmm, I'll try.

Here is the latest at 27 weeks.

Remember when

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I

We made love and then you cried

Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows

and walked the walk

Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard

We lived and learned, life threw curves

There was joy, there was hurt

Remember when

Remember when old ones died

and new were born

And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts

Remember when


Remember when the sound of little feet was the music

We danced to week to week

Brought back the love, we found trust

Vowed we'd never give it up

Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old

Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone

To where we are,Where we've been

Said we'd do it all again

Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away

We won't be sad, we'll be glad

For all the life we've had

And we'll remember when

D.I.A and White Castle contest

My Mom and I took the boys to the Detroit Institute of Art last weekend. As crazy as it is to go with a 2 year old, it went pretty good. I didnt get to snap too many pictures in fear that Tanner would find something to destroy but I got a few.
Tristen was our tour guide and he insisted he had been there and he knew the ropes. I will say that 95% of his performance was made up very well for a 6 year old!

The boys got to color with Grandma too. A special little room to let the kids be kids. (We hide in that room for a while)

These guys cracks me up so I had to put it up-

Some of the freaks in our Harness Department are very competitive and this time to prove how much of a man they are, they had a White Castle eating contest. A few weeks ago they had a buffalo wings eating contest but I didnt get to see that one.

Each of them had 30 hamburgers and 20 minutes. Who ever ate the most wins. They we teamed up Gary and Pat against Mike and Andy. I also have it on video and I'm gonna try to post it too. It was so awesome, Everyone stood around watching these guys slam burgers down and talking about how bad the bathroom is gonna stink the next day.

In the end, amazingly enough, it was declared a tie that will now force them to come up with a tie-breaker. I think each of them ate 16-18 but I didnt catch the total. All I know is I would have yakked after 5 or 6. maybe 6 or 7. I dont know and I'm not sure we will ever find that out.
But thumbs up- this was great entertainment- I'll be at the next competition.
