GO WINGS!!

Memorial weekend came and went fast. Thomas took Tristen up north to his friends place and they both came home smelly and tired. They had a blast. Tristen actually made money by charging T's friends a quarter every time they swore. This is coming from a kid who thinks that shut up and stupid are bad words so I can only imagine what he heard up north. Lets hope his teacher doesn't call me and ask where he got his colorful vocabulary. I will completely blame Thomas, then find those potty mouth A-holes and kick some ass. kidding.

Tanner and I had a good time too. We went to the zoo on Saturday with Mandy, Lily and Taylor. And the Covatta's showed up for a while. It was packed and beautiful outside. My shoulders even got a little sun. And I guess after we had already left they were kicking people out because a Tiger took a bite out of one of the the trainers hand. Yikes.

Here is the classic and traditional picture next to the fountain. Throwing penny's was a highlight on this zoo trip. I thought the Zebra's doing it was funny but Tanner didn't care about that. We must have different sense of humors.

This one of him and Lily cracks me up. Even Lily thought Wow that's a big smile.

Then we went to my Dads on Sunday and watched as they put a Gazebo together. Tanner loved watching Papa drill bolts into the deck.

Then we went to Judy cottage and Aaron was making Polish horseshoes and Tanner again was all about watchin the guys making stuff. Such a boy.

Speaking/writing about Aaron, the biggest Wings fan I know. He hasn't shaved since the playoffs started and I barely recognized him. It looks good, but he doesn't look 22 anymore. I have the game on right now and the stupid Penguins have scored twice since I have gotten on the computer. Maybe that's a sign that I should go watch it. Damn. Ozzy was doin awesome too. And can I just say that I LOVE seeing Ozzy, Draper and McCarty all playing at the same time again. Just like the good ol' days. Only if Stevie was still out there, I might shed a tear. Or remember Probert- man he could fight. Actually the first game I ever went to I saw him kick someones ass. Then I decided that this was a sport I could love. Bob Probert, the guy who forgot it's against the law to take cocaine across the border to Canada. wonder what he's up to now.

OK so I just watched part of the game and the Wings scored so I feel that it is necessary to stop blogging and go cheer my team on. I mean if they lose, it could be completely MY fault for not paying attention. I couldn't live with that.

GO WINGS!!

How sweet it is to be loved by you

What a good Mothers Day I had. In fact I think it may the best one I have had yet. Started off with sleeping in, always a bonus. Then I had breakfast in bed, with a daisy on top of my food. Then I open the best present ever, a silver heart necklace that I will wear everyday. Lets see, then I took a nap, woke up, took a shower and my Mom picked me up and we went to Red Lobster. We thought since we went at 3:00 it wouldnt be that busy. Yeah right. It was packed with a 45 minute wait. And then, out of the blue 2 superhero's came to our rescue. My moms best friend Laurie and her husband Ken were there and they asked us to eat with them and we only had to wait like 10 to 15 minutes because they had already been there close to a half hour. It was great to catch up too. Laurie and my mom have been friends since we moved to Clawson 28 years ago. Holy crap that is crazy to think, 28 years ago. You can tell that they know each other so well too. I cant listen to Motown without thinking of Laurie and my mom dancing to it at our block parties. Laurie has a great sense of humor and always cracks me up with her one liners. I think it's also because you dont expect her to say the things she does and your shocked to hear it said from her. I love people like that.

Then I came home and Tristen made a present for me at school.......


If you cant read it, it says-
Tristen, why do you love your mom?
He said- Because she makes us good dinner and she helps me with my homework. She also protects me when Tanner hits me in the head.
I almost pee'd when I read the end. I can only imagine what his teacher thinks. I'm waiting for Social Services to make a visit. Actually his teacher is so great and is always pulling me aside and telling me the crazy things he says and does. He is pretty attached to her and he still wants to name the baby Prout Perry. This will be framed and kept forever. And later we will show Tanner how he tortured Tristen when he was only 2 years old. Thank Buddha that Tristen is old enough and smart enough not pounce on Tanner every time he throws a block at him or tackles him from behind. He is such a good big brother and Tanner also just adores Trist and mimics everything he does. He just also likes torture Tristen.

Then they do this...............



ohh my heart sank when I looked at them all cuddled up watching cartoons together on a Sunday morning. There is nothing that makes me melt faster then seeing how much they love each other how close they really are at the end of the day. or morning in this picture.

sooo yummy.

Thank you to the best husband ever for the best mothers day ever. You made up for the year that I got a 3 wick, dark green, pine scented candle that you bought at Gibraltar. Your my favorite. I dont know what I would do without you!

This is by far 1 of the coolest things Ive ever done and seen.
I watched her move around and kick me and she stuck her tongue out and I even watched her blink, while in my belly. SO weird and very cool. I got a ton of still pictures and a CD that has all the video's on it. It was truly amazing and I want that job. The Ultrasound Tech is awesome and I told her I wanted her job, she didn't seem to be too threatened. She did say when she was preggo every time she was alone she would squirt that gel on her belly, turn some music on and watch her baby girl dance. I thought that was so sweet. Then she told me her daughters name and it's a name that I've been tossing around in my head. So now I think that was fate telling me what this baby wants her name to be.
we'll see.........

updates

So much has been going on, I cant keep up anymore. And as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.

Bad news first, my Grandpa is very sick and had a triple bypass a week ago and is still in ICU recovering. It sucks and this poor family has been through a roller coaster of emotions in 2 weeks. I hate watching these people I love going through this heart wrenching time in our lives. Grandpa is someone who makes you feel like you have a special connection with him and he is always humming a tune. Thats a sign of a happy person. And watching him and my Grandma, you know this is true. They still laugh with each other, hold hands and split meals. They are each other's best friend and soul mate.
Keep Grandpa in your thoughts and prayers for me, he's a stubborn old guy and I know he can get through this.

Ohh that's right, I'm 30 weeks pregnant and we don't have anything else to do, what a good time to buy a house. Yup, we are and still in the process and still have allot to do but it is moving along so far so good. (knocking on every piece of wood I can find) I'm contemplating erasing that comment in fear that I just jinked myself. damn it. We put an offer in yesterday and now its the waiting game. My mind races at night thinking of all the things we have to do but I'm pretty stoked too. Change is good and we want to make sure to have it all settled before Trist starts 1st grade.

Tristen started soccer again and it's in full swing. He's so fun to watch and has become leader. He's also in a hip hop class that he takes with his buddy Zach. It's so great to watch your kid bust out moves to songs that I used to dance to at a club. Ohh and we cant forget football that his Dad has been waiting for his whole life to start. But we have to wait to see where we move to decide will Tristen be a Clawson Maverick or a Berkley Steeler?!

Lets see- I dropped my cell phone in a glass of Squirt and lost every phone # and pictures that I had for the last 2 years. That sucked. I did get a new phone that is cool but whatever, I want my pictures and #'s back. I urge you to get a copy once in a while or now you can sign up through Sprint and get all your contacts loaded on line as you add them to your phone. It's so annoying to go though this.

I've been pretty tired lately and as moody as one can get. (I'm sure Thomas can confirm that). I have heartburn daily- I still get sick in the morning, I pee allot and feel like I wattle already. And now I just stare at people when they make dumb ass comments, I am convinced that people are just not right in the head. But the baby is doing good- up to 3 pounds, and kicking a ton. I love that part and I'll miss it someday so I do try to soak it up now. I remind myself allot that this is the last time I will have this incredible miracle happen to me. Being pregnant is not easy, a man could never do it. Thomas gets weirded out just feeling my belly, he thinks an alien is gonna pop out. Tanner kisses my big Buddha belly and tries to but my belly button back in and Tristen is still wanting to name her Prout (after his favorite teacher).
These are the days to remember....
