Drinking Griffey's Water With A Shovel

Trip to the Mall

Lastnight Dad, Jodi, Josh, Tinslea and I took a trip to the mall for the Cinn. Reds autograph session. Things didn’t quite go as planned – they were supposed to start the autograph session at 7:00pm so we got there at 6:45 pm. Much to our surprise, they had forgotten about the time –zone difference and had to be gone by 7:30 pm. When we got there we were the 150th person in line, we waited for about 20-25 minutes and didn’t hardly move so we figured it was a waste of time since they would be leaving. BUT, Dad go some pics, and Jodi had her pic taken with Gapper – Tinslea was terrified and wouldn’t go near him. After the disappointment we settled for supper in the mall. I’ve included a video of Tinslea eating noodles with Dad – She calls them WORMS!!

Check this out she was holding on so tight Dad wasn't even holding her.
Gapper, he was upset because Jodi left him :(

Gapper and Jodi

ANd THIS....she decided to undress in the mall ????

Eating Worms

Melting Away

We waited a little too long to go out and play...the snow had pretty much melted away. We spent more time getting her dressed than we did outside.

Tinslea fell,

And didn't like it

She was frozen at this point...she couldn't even slide.

Home Sweet Home

After a weekend of basketball, we’re finally home! Josh and Lockett took the 6th and 7th grade girls to a tournament in Louisville. We were there all day yesterday and all day today. I was hoping for some down time to be able to shop but that didn’t quite happen. We were go go going the whole time. After eating supper lastnight with many of the players and their parents we didn’t get back to the room lastnight until 11:30 pm and had to be back at the gym at 7:30am this morning.
Tinslea stayed with MeMe and Pa while we were gone. Yesterday Mom, Dad, Tinslea and Zac went to Owensboro to shop and watch BC play. Mom said Tinslea and Zac had a BIG time together!! Today Tinslea went to church then just hung out and played.
Josh and I were really excited to get home so we could see our baby girl…But she apparently didn’t share the excitement. When Josh and I walked in Mom and Dad’s Tinslea just went on playing, she didn’t seem to miss us as much as we missed her : (
Rock of Love Bus and Desperate Housewives will be coming on soon, is it sad I look forward to those shows every Sunday?!?

Sinus Infection

I feel like I’m always writing about Tinslea being sick! Monday when we got her from school I could tell by her eyes she was sick. I immediately called the Dr. to schedule her an appointment for Tuesday, then Grandma and Poppie to see if they could take her. My next call was to Mom to see if she could keep her overnight and take her to Grandmas Tuesday morning so we didn’t have to get her up so early. I hate leaving her when she’s sick, I just feel like she needs me, but in this case I knew it would be easier. She ended up not having such a good night. She and Mom were up and down all night then at 3:30 she was up for good ! Dad was at work so she called him and talked for a while and they just played. Now if that were Jodi and I sick or not I don't think we would have been allowed to just PLAY at 3:30 am - an NO she didn't go back to sleep!

As Tinslea went back to her room at the Dr.s office Melissa (Dr. Smith’s nurse) said “Tinslea where is your Mommy”. This was the first time EVER I’ve not taken her to the Dr. : ( It was a little sad, but I knew she was in good hands. Other than her regular check-ups she’s only been maybe 4 of 5 times so I feel like pretty blessed she's been a healthy child this far. The diagnosis of yesterday’s visit was a sinus infection.

She’s much better today and hopefully tomorrow will bring more improvement!

Another Baby On The Way...But NOT From The Belchers

Congrats to one of my Best and Oldest Friends DD and Jeremy Overton, they are expecting their first little one on September 9, 2009! I'm so excited for the two of them. They both have love for children, and will do a wonderful job raising one in a Christian home.

We had a few visitors today, DD and Jeremy came over to pick up some clothes to take to DD's sister Stacye. It was nice to visit with them, we hadn't seen them in a while. It seems that as we all get older you visit less and less. As they were leaving Jeremy picked up the two boxes and Tinslea looked at him and said "Mine". My long lost sister Jodi and Jared also decided to stop by! I have to give her a hard time - we went a few weeks without seeing her!!!

I hope everyone has another wonderful week of work :)
