John and Tina Plus Three: Weekend Review

Weekend Review

Friday evening Olivia had a Birthday Party to go to, so John and I took the two little ones out to dinner. After dinner he took them home so I could do a little bit of "solo" shopping.

Saturday we went to Isaac's 1st Birthday Party at the Park. (My Cousin Eric's Baby)

The kids saw the water and made a mad dash for it.

Jasmine didn't want to get her clothes wet so she waited patiently on the bench. I took a lot more pictures but hated that so many other kids got in the shots even with me trying to avoid them. After playing at the Park and at the Party we took the kids to the Mall for Cheese Dogs and then to get Damon and John fitted for their tuxedos for my Brother's Wedding. We picked up dinner and then it was off to a Photography Class for me. My friend Mandi and I drove out to her friends house who is a Professional Photographer. She taught a Beginners Class where she gave us lots of pointers and recommendations. You have to check out her blog http://www.staynerphotography.blogspot.com/ she takes amazing pictures! The class was way different from my Online Course and more hands on. I learned so much and of course I had a great time hanging out with an old friend. This picture is my friend Mandi when we were learning how to use the camera's built-in light meter.

Today we spent the afternoon just laying around the house until our movie started late in the afternoon. We went to see "UP". It was a really cute cartoon and made me cry a few times. It was a love story and for some reason it made me think of my Grandparents. Maybe because I have been so worried about my Poppie lately. He had surgery last Friday and seems to be doing pretty well considering he had a triple bypass. They have him really sedated but hope to let him go home in a few days. Please say a prayer for him for a speedy recovery.

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
