Sponsor This Child

For less than $1 a day you can sponsor this cute little girl. I mean seriously why does she look like an orphan every time I take a picture of her??!! Maybe it's because Matt is watching the kids today and he doesn't tame that crazy hair!

Update

I haven't downloaded any pictures off the camera in a long time so I don't have any to post...but I still thought I'd write a little update:) With the upcoming move it's pretty crazy at home, but the kids are doing great (besides Sutter having a little cold right now). Teagan is just crazy, she is a sponge and absolutely everything she hears she repeats. And I mean everything...she dropped her sippy cup the other day and said "damn it". I'll take full blame for that one since I know that has slipped out a few times in front of her. She also has said "suck" when she drops something or doesn't get her way. I believe it just comes out that way because she can't pronounce f's too well...I will not take the blame for that one though! The only good thing is that she knows when to use the words as they are always in the right context, so she's learning! And Sutter is probably the happiest baby ever. All you have to do is look at him and he just smiles from ear to ear:) Teagan is a great big sister and helps out a lot....but she also has her sassy moments. If Sutter cries she yells at him and tells him to "take a nap now". We've been up north a lot lately and Teagan loves to go out in the boat and see the fish we catch. She gets excited when we reel in and she sees the minnow on the hook...she starts yelling you have a fish and then I have to explain that that's what we started with and we want to get a bigger fish! She has mastered her ABC's and can count to 10. She will eat pretty much anything and would prefer peas for dessert over anything else....hopefully she'll never realize that peas really aren't dessert! Sutter is eating cereal now, but he prefers to spit it back all over you rather than swallow it. I can't blame him though because that stuff doesn't taste too good. Hopefully in the next couple weeks when he starts eating other baby food he'll enjoy it more. Also, Sutter has rolled from his tummy to his back a couple of times on his own. I say on his own because Teagan is more than happy to give him some help and push him over when he's on the floor. Amazingly she hasn't broken his arm off yet. All I have to say is that when Sutter is older and BIGGER than Teagan she better look out because he's going to have a lot of making up to do for all the stuff she's done to him! Well I think that's all I have for now. I hope everyone has a great week and I'll try to get some pictures posted soon:)

 

 

Sutter Pop Art

Yes. I was bored.

It's The Thought That Counts

So as some of you may know I submitted a picture of Teagan a few months ago to this local morning show that has a picture of the day contest. Well she won so they showed her picture on TV and said a little about her. Well I got a call this morning that her picture won the picture of the month contest as well so they had the picture professionally framed and we could come pick it up! So I sent Matt over to get it a little bit ago and below is a picture of the goods. Now I do have to say that I think the frame is quite ugly, but then again it was free:) It also happens to be my dad's birthday on Thursday and he is the one that made the snow fort with her and took the picture so I think this will make a great gift for him to hang in his office! Wow will we look thoughtful;) It's the thought that counts right...not the money spent??!!

Parent of the Year

Well I'm sure that child protective services will be knocking on my door after I post this. I put Teagan to bed on Friday night and checked on her shortly after and she appeared to be asleep. So I went and watched a movie and never heard a peep from her. Before I went to bed I looked in on her one more time...and below is what I found. Apparently, she thought it was a good idea to take off her jammies and diaper and then fall asleep naked. So needless to say I felt like the most horrible mom ever when I saw my daughter sleeping in a pool of pee shivering. Oh and this happened up north this past weekend...just the kids and I went, so I'm sure Matt is questioning my single parenting skills;) {modesty patch added for obvious reasons}
