Halloween

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner

So halloween isn't the holiday that I've really ever looked forward to. I've never really gotten into it for a number of reasons.

One, most women costumes are way to slutty for me to wear. This year proved no different!!

Two, I never really have an imagination for the holiday, I can never think of what to be.

Third, you don't get a day off of school or work for it! :)

Well last year Tanner was a pumpkin and we didn't much but go to the zoo and walk around (carrying him) and then just handing out candy at the house. Neither Jason nor I actually dressed up last year.

This year we were invited to a friends house for a halloween party, so we were kinda excited that we got to dress up along with our little guy!

So Tanner was a dinosaur. Our friends little boy was going to be Buzz Lightyear so Tanner was going to be Woody. I ordered his costume online TWICE and both times they came back a few days later saying it was sold out. So I ended up buying a dinosaur costume that I actually LOVED! Last year it was so cold that I wanted him to have something warm, and sure enough it was in the high 70's most of the day but it did get a little chilly towards the end of the night.

So Jason and I.....so I went looking for something and couldn't find anything where my boobs were hanging out or the skirt was too dang short. So one day I came across a red haired wig with braids sticking out....I was so excited...PIPPI LONGSTOCKING!! I loved those movies and made up my mind to buy the wig!! I went to the thrift store to get a bluejean jumper and found some striped stockings at a halloween store! YEAH!

Now for Jason...all week I kept asking, what are you going to do for halloween. He just kept saying "I'll figure it out"...I would be out and see a somewhat good priced costume and I would call and he would say "No, I'll figure it out"....well I knew what that meant. I better figure something out for him or he's not going to dress up! So I talked to my friend Michelle in AL through instant messanger one day and she found some website of cheap costume ideas. We were going through them.

1. put on a hat, hang a leaf in front of your face...when someone asks what you are, you blow on the leaf and say "leafblower"

2. Put on a white trashbag and we "whitetrash"

3. carry around a hammer and a quarter, when asked, hit the quarter with the hammer "quarter-pounder"

4. ok I can't think of the rest but the list went on and on.

So Jason gets home on FRIDAY...the day of halloween and says "I have to figure out what I'm going to be"...ya think!

So I gave him the suggestions....guess what he picks......

Yup, he's WHITETRASH! The hat he's wearing is MINE!! He ended up adding some paper and a lot of other things in the bag before we got to the party so he was actually pretty funny!!

Here is Tanner and I, Pippi Longstocking and the Dinosaur!! :)

Hush your mouth.....Mocking Bird Time

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner

Ok, for those of you that know me WELL....you know that I'm not real shy when it comes to a few potty mouth words!

When I found out we were having a baby, Jason and I laughed at how we would have to watch our language right away so we would never be "those parents".....so I know what you are thinking now "Oh no, what did Tanner say"......and you are wrong!

At this point Tanner has not said anything bad, at least from what we know of what he's saying but lately he's been mocking us like crazy! We get a kick out of making him say funny words. We add funny words and accentuate them so those are the ones he repeats! I guess this is what Moms and Dads do for fun (at least that's what we think or hope)!!!

Another terrible habit of mine is my language while driving, it consists of "MOVE OUT OF MY WAY"...or "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" or..... "DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE?" so now I hear my mocking bird in the back saying "MOVE" or "WOW" and yelling anything else (not really sure what he's saying) as we drive down the road!

I must admit that it's pretty dang funny but I know those terrible potty mouth words will come up soon enough and we'll both feel guilty and try very hard to not say them anymore!

So hopefully there will be no blogs on the terrible words our poor son repeated but I won't be surprised!! :)

Another weekend gone!

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner

Well this weekend seemed to just FLY by!! Let's see Friday night Jason played Disc golf with a friend, then his friend and his wife and kids came over and we made pizza and played Wii! I think they left around 11pm! So we were exhausted by the time our heads hit the pillows! Tanner actually went to sleep around 9:30 or so and didn't make a peep all night!

Ok..I have to confess, I gave him his pacifier b/c I knew he wouldn't make a peep if he had it! He will stay awake for 30 minutes and just lay in his bed if I give it to him. So when he's sick or nights like that, I give in and let him have it. He still goes to bed without it almost every other night, so I don't feel to bad!

Saturday morning we went to our weekly training session for our financial company and after that I set out recruiting....I got SEVEN people!! Saturday night we went to a Greek Festival with our friends Jay and Lyndi, which is where the new video comes into play! As soon as it's done downloading it will show up on the right with the videos! I must say...TOO dang funny! I'll give you ONE guess as to what he's doing......yup...dancing!

Sunday we were a little lazy, Jason slept in for once this week (I normally get to during the week, well sleeping in consists of 8 am!!).
I had a class from 1-5 today for an exam I have to take for school next month! I ran some errands after and the came home to STUDY some more. WHile I was gone Jason did all the laundry...what a wonderful way to walk into the door, Tanner happy and content and Daddy doing the laundry, does life get any better than that?

Now things are winding down, everyone is getting ready for bed!! This week Jason will be gone for a few days so me and TanMan have to keep the house in one piece! It's always a struggle when Jason goes out of town b/c I have class so late that I have to find someone to watch Tanner. Luckily his sitter is going to do it for me this week, which is so close to the house it will make life a lot easier!

I changed my mind, here is the video here of the Greek Festival!

Just an update....

Posted by: Jason, Kelly and Tanner

So just a few updates and a few pictures/videos!

So our new business is really taking off....we know it will take time but we are committed to putting in the time!! My friend Michelle is also going to get into the business in Alabama and I'm so excited for her and her hubby David!

Ok..potty training....WHAT WHAT!! So we have been mentioning the potty a lot. When we change a diaper we say he should go in the potty. Anytime either one of us need to go we tell him we are going potty....the norms (we think). Well sometimes Tanner will say "potty" so we have started taking him...HA HA!! Does he do ANYTHING...of course not, but here are a few pictures from the experience! How can you not love this? Daddy trying to teach him the ropes!!!
