I love watching Amiah! She is full of giggle and smiles but can be a grouch at times. She has a mind of her own. If she doesn't like something I offer her to eat she won't budge! She has a really cute mad face. I love the excitement that she brings to our home. She knows she can usually find scooby doo snacks in PaPa's shirt pockets. I call the toddler snacks that so don't think we feed her dog treats! lol

I borrowed my sister's camera because we are going to see Annie and I want pictures of the night. I snapped a picture of Amiah and she loves the camera.


Here Tyler is doing his homework. He has been doing his homework really well lately. Last week, Tad gave us money to go out to dinner at Five Coins to have all you can eat chicken.

Way to go Tyler!!!!

Tyler brought home a really good progress report from his school. He has made quite a bit of improvement in doing all and turning in all his homework. Tad wanted to celebrate by doing something for him.
So, he gave us some money and after I dropped off the soup I promised the church that I babysit for, we went to Five coins for all you can eat chicken.
Tad didn't go but we still had a nice time. We ate tons of chicken! There were a bunch of doctors and nurses there doing some kind of meeting. I tried to talk him into going over there and saying can you look at my rash? hahaha  He doesn't really have a rash but wouldn't it be funny.
He did a survey and for their part on suggestions he wrote that they should have all you can eat ice cream. Now, that would be awesome!! I remember when I was a kid and Ponderosa had all you can eat Sundae bar and boy was it a kids best dream come true. Here is a picture of his suggestion.

Today, at school Tyler's teacher brought astronaut food for the kids to try. He explained how the ice cream hydrated in your mouth after you ate it. It wasn't cold. All I could think of is what fun is ice cream if it's not cold?

Tad started teasing Tyler saying Astronaut Tyler and Tyler would say Astronaut Tad and eventually started calling me Astronaut Mommy. I said I can't be an Astronaut because I would get lost. He said, no you won't. I thought he would give me a detailed reason on why I wouldn't get lost and he did but in his own way. The astronauts wear white so they won't get lost. He cracks me up.

Well, I have to be awake bright and early so I better get comfy and get some sleep.

Fun times at the YMCA




Monday's are the day that I am making an effort to get some exercise during the day even with Amiah. So, until it gets warmer we have made Monday's a Y day. But She doesn't like the track thing. It might be too loud for her or when people run by it scares her. Maybe, in her little head, she is thinking if they are scared enough to run Grandma you better move faster. haha

We played some in the adventure part of the Y. I am kind of being naughty because she doesn't have a membership but oh well. Here are a few shots from today. Sorry, that my camera is crappy. I have two choices in camera. Crappy or crappier. My birthday and Mother's day is coming up. Hint hint. Just kidding.

I realize that I don't blog much about William and I think it's cause he is a teenager and I don't want to show him in a bad light. Can I say that I plead the 5TH? But I still love him.

It's been forever since I have wrote here. We took down our fence and we are looking forward to trying to keep our front yard looking nicer. We figure mowing will be easier and also the dogs won't be able to walk all over my flowers this summer.

We both got new cars because we were a one car family and then my van went to hell. I really like my car but it's too nice. I can't put my dogs in it. :(

This week, I was at the Y, three times and most likely I will go tomorrow too. I have so much more energy if I get some exercise. I paid for me to get my own locker at the Y. So, now I can leave my things there instead of carrying it around with me. I must be a geek because I think it's super cool. However, my husband is calling me a jock. He is silly. I like the Y because I get the me time. On Monday, I took Amiah and we went round and round on the track but then she started to cry. Then, we went into the area where the wii and other little games and such are and I let her crawl around. Tuesday night, is my major night when I can spend 2 to 3 hours there. Wednesday, I went with Tyler and we swam for a hour. We would have stayed a little longer but he had to get to bed because of school.

Today, I spend quite a bit of the day cleaning up. I washed Tyler's sheets and blankets and cleaned the kitchen and living room. That is quite a bit for me to do in one day.

Tonight, we went to Tyler's school for a reading family night. It was pretty cool. There wasn't too many kids but Tyler had a nice time. I took a few pictures but my camera doesn't work well. I need to get a new one.

Well, that's about all for one night.
