Stylist in the Making?

Friday night Tinslea stayed with her MeMe and Pa John while Josh and Iwent to BG to watch Talon Gary, Jacob and Jordan Hall play ball. We also tried to finish our shopping...but that didn't happen. Our plan is to go today after church. Tinslea had FuN yesterday playing with MeMe and Jo Jo. Josh and I didn't go down to get her until about 5:30. When we got there Amber and Tay Mae were there also. Lastnight was really the first time I've gotten to hold her and play with her without Tinslea "bothering" us. I will have to say though, Tay liked Josh better than me :(

How many parents let their kids (19 months old) dress themselves??? This morning Josh decided to go to his mom and dads to take the trash off, so he took Tinslea with him. Tinslea was already playing in her tutu and wanted to keep it on so we met in the middle with the tutu and just put on some pants and a shirt. And check out the sandals - she also picked those out of all the shoes in the closet to wear, so we just put some socks on!
The first pic is right before they left, she was mad because we couldn't find her hat!
The second pic is of her playing before Josh decided to take her with him.

Let the Break Begin

What a rough day...I didn't go into work until 9:00am and was laving the parking lot at 11:30!! Today was our Christmas Party, we all ATE and exchanged gifts. I'll admit my Veggie Pizza was a HIT!! Thanks Heather C. - I finally made it with the correct ingredents!! OK so for those of you who don't know the story here goes...
The recipe for Veggie Pizza:
Crescent Rolls
Mix together the following and spread on crescent rolls once they have cooled
1 container of sour cream
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch mix
1 cup Miracle Whip
Top with veggies of your choice (and Cheese)

My recipe:
Crescent rolls
Mayo
Veggies
Yes, that’s right that’s how I made the veggie pizza, and really thought I had made it right. I was even eating it thinking it was pretty good…UNTIL Mom came over and tried it and said it didn’t taste just right LOL! AND for anyone who really know me, this probably isn't a surprise!!HAHA

Yesterday was the first day in quite a while Tinslea hasn't gotten sick at school. The teachers finally figured out what was making her sick...she was eating TOO much. I told them from day 1 they would have to stop her or she would keep eating, and eating and eating!! OH well at least they saw first had what happens! Ms. Tammy and Ms. Beth are very sweet and Tinslea really does enjoy going to school.

If you've not gotten a Christmas Card from us yet, it's either in the mail or waiting for a stamp! SOO, you may get them by New Years!
Speaking of Cards, thanks to everyone whos sent us one - I love the cards and the pics to see how much everyone has changed since last year's pic.
Tinslea receive a letter from Santa in the mail today, it was too cute - Jessi sorry but I recognized your hand writing on the envelope!

Snow Day

SNOW DAY TODAY AND ANOTHER TOMORROW :)
We had to become creative with our time at home...
Tinslea and I were doing laundry and I put Griffey in the basket. Then she decided SHE wanted in the basket. Too bad we didn't have Ma Ag around, she used to pull Hunter around the house in the laundry basket, both of them LOVED every minute of it.

Cool Momma!! Sporting her Reds hat and pink purse in her PJ's.

Our cute story of the day...

We were listening to Tinslea's CD and playing in her bedroom when the "Bingo" song came on. Griffey went crazy and started barking when he heard the dogs on the CD barking. Normally when Griffey acts like this there is someone at the door. SOOO Tinslea turned to me and said "PA" and began giggling. I told her "No it's not Pa he's at home". Then a few seconds later Griff heard the dogs on the CD and did it again, Tinslea once again turned to me and said "Pa" abd giggled! Poor baby she thought her Pa was here to see her.

Ok so one more story...

At about 8:30 lastnight I got a call from Zac (our cousin). Aunt Chelle had given him $10 to "shop" with at school. She was thinking he would buy her and Chelsea something for Christmas. NO, she was wrong. First off he bought himself something and then bought Tinslea 2 gifts!! Isn't that too cute. Not too many little boys would think about their little cousin. Zac is such a considerate little boy, he really tries to take care of Tinslea. This is just one more reason I'm glad they moved back!!

Marker Art Work

Below is a pic of Tinslea's finished product after using markers while unsupervised. This pic doesn't do justice, her left arm was covered. I of course laughed and Josh was like"WHAT are you doing?"

Ice...I really just wanted to get through this week!!
Today Josh took Tinslea to school, and she was fine, she went straight to Ms. Tammy.
I got to work at 7:00 and packed my bags for my home visits. My first one was at 8:00 and my second was at 10:00. Once I had finished my second and was on my way back to the office I FINALLY got phone service! I had 4 voicemails, two from my boss one form my coworker and one from Josh. All four were letting me know school was letting out early. Since Breck is so far away and they usually get hit first and harder they wanted me to get back to Leitchfield ASAP. My first stop was to get Tinslea! It was no surpirse she didn't have on the outfit I had laid out for her lastnight...She had gotten sick after breakfast again and they had to change her clothes. This seems to be an everyday thing at this point. I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with milk. I didn't give her any all weekend and she didn't vomit. They did let her have some this morning and she got sick again. And it was the same situation when she was sick Tuesday and Friday it happened after she drank milk.
The three of us have spent the rest of the afternoon at home. Dad came by to visit with us for a while. Tinslea was happy to see her Pa!

She has to get better soon...Right?

OHH what a weekend. Tinslea still isn't feeling well. At this point I don't know what it is. She's just fussy, which isn't like her to be this way constantly. Is she sick or has she hit the "2's" early??
Josh seems to think since she only went to school 2 days lastweek that the problem is that she's been out of her routine for too long.
Yesterday Josh made the mistake of mentioning Dad to her...and when he did she started saying "Pa" ran down the hall then noticed we weren't leaving and put her face against the wall and cried! Since Josh was gone today, I even took her to see her Pa John. She was pretty good while we were there. BUT, when we left she screamed and cried and threw the biggest fit ever!!

This pic was from tonight she had just gotten out of the tub and was helping Josh.

Lastnight while I was wrapping presents she decided she needed to sign them too. It started out as just Hunter's gift then they all ended being signed!

Mom, Jodi and Jared are visiting our family up North this week. Yesterday they all went into NYC! Country Boy Jared wasn't too happy about going in the first place and to make things worse he had only been there a couple hours when a piegon pooed on him. Jodi said he started screaming "I hate this place!" They spent today with the whole family and are going back to the city tomorrow and Tuesday.

Tinslea's Still Sick

Just a quick blog...She's still sick!! Just when we think she's better she starts again. I took her to school today and she was fine, I called to check on her and she was still fine. But, when I walked in her classroom to pick her up, she vomited on her mat!! Ms. Tammy said she had acted fine all day...Who knows! Hopefully a few more days at home with bananas, cheerios, toast, crackers and water will do the trick.

They're Both Sick Now

Well, I thought today was going to be back to normal...WRONG! Josh woke up not feeling too hot but went ahead and got dressed. About 15 minutes before we needed to be pulling out of the driveway I went in Tinslea's room to quickly get her up and dressed. Much to my surprise she had vomited at some point during the night/morning! It was all over her bed and all dried in her hair. SOOO I immediately called Grandma to see if they could come get her and keep her for the day so Josh and I could go to work. While waiting for Poppie to arrive Josh gave Tinslea a bath and I packed her bag for the day. Once Poppie got here Josh and I were quickly off to work (I was late AGAIN).
About 9:30 Josh called my cell phone to let me know he too was sick and on his way home for the day! I called Grandma several times to check on Tinslea and Grandma said she was fine! Her and Jake played ALL DAY. She never threw up again and didn't run a fever. I can't figure out what is going on with her. If she were a little older I would swear she was doing this to get out of school.
I met Grandma and Poppie in town to pick her up and either she's not feeling well again or she's wore out. She was soooo tired I put her in the bed at about 6:00pm. I'm hoping she will wake up about 7-8 and play a little then go back down for the night. Otherwise she's going to be up at like 4-5am!
