Name::Heather Noel From::Augusta, Georgia, United States
I am 29, almost 30. I have been married to the man of my dreams for almost 3 years. We have a two year old little boy who rocks our world. I started this blog so my friends and family around the U.S. could keep up with our little family and see how big our little man gets every day. View my complete profile
As you can see I decided to get a face lift on my blog. I did it all by myself. (Arent you proud of me Tiff?) I got it from an Italian website. No English, so it was hard for me to get things where they belong. And as you can see my comments dont work, so everyone will have to use the chatterbox. Or email. I also cant get the categories or archives to work. But hey it still looks cute. Well Tanner had pictures taken today and when I get them back of course they will be posted. Well let me go. I have to pack and get things cleaned up so we can leave for NC bright and early. Later ya'll.

Wait for it....I GOT THE JOB!! Lets see if I'm that excited in the next couple of weeks. Because the Christmas season is now in full swing and things are crazy. But it will be a nice increase in pay and once the holiday season is over nice calm hours. Thats my big news. As for little news, I was sick as a dog yesterday, I thought I was going to die. I feel better now. Still congested but nowhere near as bad as yesterday. Lets see what else. Oh yeah, we're going to NC Thurs to take our dog Security to my parents. For some reason these past couple of weeks, he keeps getting out of the fence. Where we live since its out in the boonies, the speed limit on our street in 55, unless you drive like Beck and then its like 70 (J/K) Then to top it off there are no street lights so he'd be dead if he gets hit. Plus he doesnt realize he's not a puppy anymore and if he jumps on someone we will be in trouble. So we had to chain him up and the damn dog got out of his collar and chain. So now he's in a harness and he's bummed because he cant get out of it. But my folks have big yard. Their fence is way better than ours and my dad can train where we couldnt. SO he will be better off, and I feel better knowing who he's with. Because I know my parents will take care of him. So we will be leaving way early Thurs, so we can spend some time with my mom and dad. Well I'm off for now.....OH yeah, does anyone know if there is something you can give a dog that will knock him out safely? Our vet wants to charge us $60 just to go in there then the cost of medicine. I was just wondering if there was something safe...

Well we had a great Thanksgiving, besides the fact that I had to work. Then turn around and get up at 300 and be there at 4 for the madness known as the Blitz. OHMYGOD!!! People are just crazy. Then I had to be at work today at 5. Which has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. We ate at my in laws. Tanner got to eat everything we ate. He loved it. Of course I didnt like changeing the diaper...lol. Well I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as much as I did. It seems crazy but I never realized what I was truely thankful for until I had my own family....

These were taken last Thurs. Scott was vacuming and decided to use the hose to give Tanner a mohawk. Turned out better than the one we gave him in the tub not too long ago. Anyways, not too much to report today. My baby guy is 11 months old today, I was off and Tanner and I were lazy. I'm just now doing a load of clothes and its 900pm. WellI'm off, Tanner needs a bath and then its off to bed for him. Until later ya'll.

Well, its been a gloomy long day. Tanner had his Dr. appt at 845 this morning. We found out that he does have Hypospadias. They sceduled surgery for Dec 30. God, my baby has to have surgery. I feel like crying. Even though the Dr. has assured me that it is very minor and he will go home that night. Its just hard to imagin them putting my baby to sleep and cutting on him. I know he will be okay. He's a tough kid, and its nothing life threating. Thank God. Other than that we've had a busy day. We went running around with Mary and the twins. I think I need to let him play with more babies. He kept pulling their hair. I know he doesnt know any better, but I want him to learn not to do it. Okay well I'm off to start some chicken soup. Well until later everyone.

Just thought I would show everyone Tanner's bday invitations. I had them made by this guy on ebay.....eBay: Personalized Blue's clues Birthday Invitations (item 6013126175 end time Nov-19-05 10:15:25 PST) I think he did a wonderful job. If you need some he does tons of characters. Anyways my parents left bright and early and took Kristi with them. (sighs) we all miss her, especially little man. He gets so use to her being around and then she's gone. He doesnt understand. Other than that not too much is going on. Oh yeah, I had my interview today. I think it went okay. But I thought that about the other one too. I will keep you posted. Well I'm off. Tanner needs a bath. He has a Dr. appt bright and early tomorrow. Until later ya'll

Well, folks came down today. They bought the "Blue Ears" for his birthday party. TOO cute. So there really isnt too much going on, work is still busy. But not as bad a last year it seems. But Thanksgiving is Thurs, so I'm sure the load will get worse. Anyways. I did go see Harry Potter. It was awesome, I was a little disappointed that they had to leave so much out, but I understand. The Goblet of Fire was a long ass book. I had read that the director had even thought about making it two movies because he didnt want to cut so much out. Anyhoo, it was awesome none the less and everyone should run and go see it. LOL. Well I'm off. My parents just went to get dinner and they will be back soon. Later ya'll.

Well Scott and I were off today. We had a good day. My day started at 730 so I could go to the dr. where I spent 6 hours to hear I have a sprained wrist. I think the dr was a quack. I told him I wasnt in pain. Which I'm not, its just sore, so what doesn he do? Gives me a prescribtionof vicodine. Hello!! What part of NO pain did he not understand. Anyways I didnt get it filled. There is no point. When I finally got home we all got dressed and went to the mall where we met Scott's best friend from school. He just moved back here. So we spent like 3 hours there. Scott and I went and picked out new wedding bands. I have the whole ring set, but when I wear it to work it gets caught on everything, my finger has a scar on it from it. So I just wanted a plain band. Which I got, so Scott said if I was getting one he wanted one too. So he picked him out one too. But his had to be special ordered and he wont get it for 5 weeks, I got to take mine home today. (hehe). We also had a Christmas ornament made for Tanner. They have this little booth that makes personalized things. So we had him one made for his 2nd Christmas. Then of course we went to see Santa. I was really suprised to see him there so early this year. But we decided to go now before it get super busy. I hate going to the mall during December. Needless to say we had a pretty good day. Tomorrow , me, Scott's mama, and Kristi are going to see Harry Potter and then his friend is coming over for dinner. We're going to rent movies and eat. Well I'm off to put a load of clothes in the wash and then I'm going to hit the hay so I can get up early and clean. Later ya'll.

Well today was an interesting day. Everyone at work asked me ALL day about yesterday. Then I got yelled at because I didnt go to the doctor. I'm fine really thats why I dont see the point, but everyone is like "just in case" So I dont know, if I'm still sore tomorrow maybe. Then I go to pick up Tanner and less than 20 minutes after I'm there he hits his mouth on a Buddah statue and bleeds. Oh GOD. The first time I've seen him bleed, it was tramatizing. But I must say I kept my cool. I didnt freak out. I got up cleaned his mouth got him an ice teether and he was good to go. After everything was said and done I kinda freaked out...lol. So when we get home, I called my car payment place and made my last payment!! Yippiee!!! The last one. Thats too awesome. It feels wonderful. I was so excited when I got off the phone, I did the happy dance. Tanner got a kick out of that. Oh yeah, I've made my disicion to stay with blogger. Modblog went down again. So I guess I'm hear to stay. Well I am off to feed my young 'un and watch bones. Later ya'll. By the way, I got my Harry Potter tickets for Friday...I am so excited. (Go ahead, laugh. I know its funny).

Yep. I was leaving work, walking to my car, I was in the cross walk, and bam, a green ford ranger hits me. GAWD...why dont people pay attention? I'm fine. My arm is sore and a little swollen, but I 'm fine. I might go to the dr tomorrow if my arm still hurts. I was just in shock. I mean hit by a car. She hit me hard enough to break the key ring I had in my hand. I keep thankin God I move pretty quick because if I hadnt if would probably be more than my arm hurting. At first I was so mad I didnt even reazlize my arm hurt. I mean the lady said I'm sorry I was just looking at that truck over there. I guess she didnt seem like she was sorry, I mean she said it but she didnt sound like it. She didnt even get out of her truck until the security car stopped her. I dont know. But I am fine. It could have been worse. Well I'm off to feed my monster dinner. Until later ya'll.

Tomorrow promises to be another busy day. 42 shopping days until Christmas...later ya'll.

Well Scott and I had our days off together this week. Thank God. I was begining to forget what it felt like to be married. We really didnt do anything. Thursday we ran some errands and went to dinner at his mom and dads. Later that night we all sat down and played Star Wars Trivia with DVD. That was fun. I think it took us 2 hours to finish the game. And my sister who has only seen 2 of the movies won. Whats up with that. I mean we helped her out, but when it came to the question to win she knew. The hussy. We had fun. Then Friday we were just lazy. I laid on the couch and Scott in the recliner and we were just lazy. Even Tanner. Then today it was back to the grindstone. 7am and busy...I think I'm going to go in at 6 tomorrow try to avoid the rush and get some more stuff done.Oh yeah. I forgot, I applied for another dept mgr. position. My dept. My dept manager is retiring and she made me put my name in for it. I'm not getting my hopes up. I know I am more qualified for it than the other 2 people who put in for it. But sometimes I think they have a differant agenda for picking people. I dont know. I should have my interview sometime this week. I guess we will see. Well I'm off for now. I think I'm going to play online scrabble for a little while. Until later ya'll.Hey!! Are posting on my Frappr map when you stop by??? Hmmm?!

These were taken today...(please dont mind the dirty shirt). I just couldnt get over the way he was sitting. Like a little man. All cute and proper. Kristi said its because he's tired of taking pictures. Personally I think its because he knows he's cute...

I know, I know its bad to let kids watch too much tv. Especially at this age. But man my little one loves Disney Channel - Playhouse - Little Einsteins
oh my goodness. He doesnt sit there and watch it continuesly, but he has his moment where he will watch a whole show. They are only like15 minutes long. And they teach things. So as long as he's willing to watch, then I'm going to let him, because in a few years he'll be wanting to watch something like spiderman...(not that there is anything wrong with that...but). Well I'm off. The dogs are going nuts and I need to see why. I'm sure I will post again later.

Please don't be a bore and ruin it. Send it on to everyone you know, including the person that sent it to you Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day. And, if we are honest, we have a lot more stressful days than not. Here is your dose of humor Follow the instructions to find your new name. Once you have your new name, put it in the Subject box and forward it to friends and family and co-workers Don't forget to forward it back to the person who sent it to you, so they know you participated. And don't go all 'adult' ... my niece's senior manager is now known far and wide as Dorky Gizzardsniffer.The following is an excerpt from a children's book "Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dave Pilkey. The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names......Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first name:a = poopsie b = lumpy c = buttercup d = gadget e = crusty f = greasy g = fluffy h = cheeseball i = chim-chim j = stinky k = flunky l = bootie m = pinky n = zippy o = goober p = doofus q = slimy r = loopy s = snotty t = tootie u = dorkey v = squeezit w = oprah x = skipper> y = dinky z = zsa-zsa Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name: a = apple b = toilet c = giggle d = burger e = girdle f = barf g = lizard h = waffle i = cootie> j = monkey k = potty l = liver >m = banana n = rhino o = bubble p = hamster q = toad r = gizzard s = pizza t = gerbil u = chicken> v = pickle w = chuckle x = tofu y = gorilla z = stinker Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name :a = head b = mouth c = face d = nose e = tush f = breath g = pants h = shorts i = lips j = honker k = butt l = brain> m = tushie n = biscuits o = hiney p = chunks q = toes r = buns s = fanny t = sniffer u = sprinkles >v = kisser w = squirt x = humperdinck y = brains z = juiceThus, for example, George W.

Tanya, Me, & Tiffany Holmes
Tiffany & Chris Holdeman
So I got an email from an old friend from high school today. I love to hear from my old friends. Especially those I was close with. Most of my senior year was spent with Tanya, Tiff H, and Sara. Tiffany B had moved states side for awhile. The 4 of us were pretty irrseperable. I still keep in touch with Tanya and no one has heard from Sara in like 5 years. I hadnt heard from Tiffany since 2002 so it was great to hear from her. She is married now and working on her masters degree, while teaching the fifth grade. (She always was the brain). You know it kinda sucks to only have 3 friends where you live. But its nice to know my other friends are out there...even if we have to talk through cyber space. Later ya'll

So does any one else's little one have the ability to make you feel bad about something you done? Man, I felt like the worlds worse mom today. We're trying to teach him what no means. And he does, but he likes to see if we're going to let him get away with whatever we told him not to do. Like pull every single movie we own out of the DVD case. We tell him no and if he still does it we pop his hands or padded butt. Nothing hard. And usually he just goes on his merry way and does something else. And the next time we say no he usually listens. So today, I tell him no like four times and then I popped his hand. Man he started screaming like I beat him. Then he looked at me like I broke his heart....which in turn broke mine...so I tried to pick him up and he cried harder and went to my sister. He wouldnt come to me for like 15 minutes. Which made me feel awful. Everything is okay now. He's laying here holding on to my hand while I type. But for those 15 minutes I felt like the worlds worst mom....and I could have cried. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come, when he knows how to use that stuff against me? What do you think?

My health is not something I talk about too often. I'm not an unhealthy person, but I do have my issues. My biggest issue is my bloodpressure. I've had high blood pressure since I was 17. I've been taking some sort of medicine for it since then. In high school I wasnt over weight so they figured it was just genetics. Later on when I gained weight, I had to stay on medicine. BUT when I finally started loosing weight and the BP was under control and I was able to get off meds, I got pregnant. Which almost instantly caused my BP to shoot back up. So for all of my pregnancy I was on meds. By the last two months my BP was so out of control I was on 2000mg a day. Which is why they ended up taking Tanner early. Well the point of all this is, I've lost all the "baby" weight and about 10lbs extra and I'm still working on it. But my BP is up again so of course its back on meds I go. I really hate having to take this medicine. It makes me so tired. For the past week I've have been so worn out its driving me nuts. I fall asleep on my lunch break when I read. Its just that bad. I came home from work last night and had to fight to stay awake. Which I lost like an hour later. I know I need to take my meds but I just hate feeling tired all the time. I've been on 3 or 4 differant meds and they all pretty much have the same effect. UGH!! Anyway, thats my complaint for the day. Other than that everything is going good. Nothing too interesting is going on. But the closer we get to Christmas I'm sure things will pick up...until later.

SO...for those of you who know where I work I'm sure you've seen everything that is going on in the news. About the anti "insert name" here movie. Its so crazy. I mean every company has its problems so why bash this one. Granted sometimes I get fed up and want to quit, but I have been there10 years. That should say alot. I mean most of the people who work with me are long term associates. I dont know. It just starting bugging me recently that we're having to defend our place of work like everyday. UGGGHHH. Did I tell you that they made a positve movie about us? It took place at the one I work at. It was crazy having a movie camera...which I avoided like the plague...going around the store. Who knows if it will make a differance. I dont know why I'm ranting about work. Here latley it just makes me so tired. With the holiday season in full swing its just getting worse. Oh well. Everything is going good at home. Tanner has been a little fussy. I hope he's not getting sick. I was worried about him catching whatever Scott had last weekend. Or me. I dont want to be sick. But these past 2 days I have been so TIRED. Lovely or new, noisy neighbors are home...anyways I'm off. Later everyone.

The more time goes on, the more I realize that the little things in my life matter more than the big...like Scott leaving for work early so he can stop by and see me. Or Tanner just giggling. Or seeing Kristi rock him to sleep. I guess I noticed tonight when Tanner was at the almost asleep but not quite there stage. I was looking at him and he was holding my finger looking at me like "I love you mommy" that just made my whole day. Looking at him makes me feel like I've accomplished what I need to accomplish in life. Dont get me wrong there is tons more I would like to do, but if I dont get to do them just having him and Scott is enough. Well I'm going to go for now. Have to be at work early again.

Well we've been running around all day. Me and my mother in law. We got up early and took Tanner to Babies 'R Us to enter him in a baby contest. If he wins he'll be on the the cover a magazine. But it nationwide so the are odds are tough. But it was fun. Then we went to Target. Spent 80 bucks. I got his costume for next year...Spiderman. I also got Scott his movie.. "Star Wars III" he was so excited. Then we went to Kohls. Thats the first time I have ever been in a Kohls. Pretty nice. Its only been here about a month. I think I finally got home around 3. My little on is now cranky and refuses to take a nap. Which is fine. That means he will sleep later tomorrow for Scott. Well I'm off. Later everyone.

As you can see, we had a great time trick or treating. We took Tanner to Wal mart because he is really to little to go around the neighborhood. Maybe next year. Plus he is use to the people there. The kid made out like a bandit with candy. His little bucket was over flowing. (Like he can eat it) but I'm sure Scott and Kristi will take care of that for him. I wish Scott didnt have to go to work so he could of expirianced his first Halloween, but I took tons of pics. Maybe next year he will be able to request it off. I hope everyone's Halloween was as good as ours. Until next time ya'll.

Wait for it....I GOT THE JOB!! Lets see if I'm that excited in the next couple of weeks. Because the Christmas season is now in full swing and things are crazy. But it will be a nice increase in pay and once the holiday season is over nice calm hours. Thats my big news. As for little news, I was sick as a dog yesterday, I thought I was going to die. I feel better now. Still congested but nowhere near as bad as yesterday. Lets see what else. Oh yeah, we're going to NC Thurs to take our dog Security to my parents. For some reason these past couple of weeks, he keeps getting out of the fence. Where we live since its out in the boonies, the speed limit on our street in 55, unless you drive like Beck and then its like 70 (J/K) Then to top it off there are no street lights so he'd be dead if he gets hit. Plus he doesnt realize he's not a puppy anymore and if he jumps on someone we will be in trouble. So we had to chain him up and the damn dog got out of his collar and chain. So now he's in a harness and he's bummed because he cant get out of it. But my folks have big yard. Their fence is way better than ours and my dad can train where we couldnt. SO he will be better off, and I feel better knowing who he's with. Because I know my parents will take care of him. So we will be leaving way early Thurs, so we can spend some time with my mom and dad. Well I'm off for now.....OH yeah, does anyone know if there is something you can give a dog that will knock him out safely? Our vet wants to charge us $60 just to go in there then the cost of medicine. I was just wondering if there was something safe...
Well we had a great Thanksgiving, besides the fact that I had to work. Then turn around and get up at 300 and be there at 4 for the madness known as the Blitz. OHMYGOD!!! People are just crazy. Then I had to be at work today at 5. Which has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. We ate at my in laws. Tanner got to eat everything we ate. He loved it. Of course I didnt like changeing the diaper...lol. Well I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as much as I did. It seems crazy but I never realized what I was truely thankful for until I had my own family....
These were taken last Thurs. Scott was vacuming and decided to use the hose to give Tanner a mohawk. Turned out better than the one we gave him in the tub not too long ago. Anyways, not too much to report today. My baby guy is 11 months old today, I was off and Tanner and I were lazy. I'm just now doing a load of clothes and its 900pm. WellI'm off, Tanner needs a bath and then its off to bed for him. Until later ya'll.
Well, its been a gloomy long day. Tanner had his Dr. appt at 845 this morning. We found out that he does have Hypospadias. They sceduled surgery for Dec 30. God, my baby has to have surgery. I feel like crying. Even though the Dr. has assured me that it is very minor and he will go home that night. Its just hard to imagin them putting my baby to sleep and cutting on him. I know he will be okay. He's a tough kid, and its nothing life threating. Thank God. Other than that we've had a busy day. We went running around with Mary and the twins. I think I need to let him play with more babies. He kept pulling their hair. I know he doesnt know any better, but I want him to learn not to do it. Okay well I'm off to start some chicken soup. Well until later everyone. 
Just thought I would show everyone Tanner's bday invitations. I had them made by this guy on ebay.....eBay: Personalized Blue's clues Birthday Invitations (item 6013126175 end time Nov-19-05 10:15:25 PST) I think he did a wonderful job. If you need some he does tons of characters. Anyways my parents left bright and early and took Kristi with them. (sighs) we all miss her, especially little man. He gets so use to her being around and then she's gone. He doesnt understand. Other than that not too much is going on. Oh yeah, I had my interview today. I think it went okay. But I thought that about the other one too. I will keep you posted. Well I'm off. Tanner needs a bath. He has a Dr. appt bright and early tomorrow. Until later ya'll
Well, folks came down today. They bought the "Blue Ears" for his birthday party. TOO cute. So there really isnt too much going on, work is still busy. But not as bad a last year it seems. But Thanksgiving is Thurs, so I'm sure the load will get worse. Anyways. I did go see Harry Potter. It was awesome, I was a little disappointed that they had to leave so much out, but I understand. The Goblet of Fire was a long ass book. I had read that the director had even thought about making it two movies because he didnt want to cut so much out. Anyhoo, it was awesome none the less and everyone should run and go see it. LOL. Well I'm off. My parents just went to get dinner and they will be back soon. Later ya'll.
Well Scott and I were off today. We had a good day. My day started at 730 so I could go to the dr. where I spent 6 hours to hear I have a sprained wrist. I think the dr was a quack. I told him I wasnt in pain. Which I'm not, its just sore, so what doesn he do? Gives me a prescribtionof vicodine. Hello!! What part of NO pain did he not understand. Anyways I didnt get it filled. There is no point. When I finally got home we all got dressed and went to the mall where we met Scott's best friend from school. He just moved back here. So we spent like 3 hours there. Scott and I went and picked out new wedding bands. I have the whole ring set, but when I wear it to work it gets caught on everything, my finger has a scar on it from it. So I just wanted a plain band. Which I got, so Scott said if I was getting one he wanted one too. So he picked him out one too. But his had to be special ordered and he wont get it for 5 weeks, I got to take mine home today. (hehe). We also had a Christmas ornament made for Tanner. They have this little booth that makes personalized things. So we had him one made for his 2nd Christmas. Then of course we went to see Santa. I was really suprised to see him there so early this year. But we decided to go now before it get super busy. I hate going to the mall during December. Needless to say we had a pretty good day. Tomorrow , me, Scott's mama, and Kristi are going to see Harry Potter and then his friend is coming over for dinner. We're going to rent movies and eat. Well I'm off to put a load of clothes in the wash and then I'm going to hit the hay so I can get up early and clean. Later ya'll.
Well today was an interesting day. Everyone at work asked me ALL day about yesterday. Then I got yelled at because I didnt go to the doctor. I'm fine really thats why I dont see the point, but everyone is like "just in case" So I dont know, if I'm still sore tomorrow maybe. Then I go to pick up Tanner and less than 20 minutes after I'm there he hits his mouth on a Buddah statue and bleeds. Oh GOD. The first time I've seen him bleed, it was tramatizing. But I must say I kept my cool. I didnt freak out. I got up cleaned his mouth got him an ice teether and he was good to go. After everything was said and done I kinda freaked out...lol. So when we get home, I called my car payment place and made my last payment!! Yippiee!!! The last one. Thats too awesome. It feels wonderful. I was so excited when I got off the phone, I did the happy dance. Tanner got a kick out of that. Oh yeah, I've made my disicion to stay with blogger. Modblog went down again. So I guess I'm hear to stay. Well I am off to feed my young 'un and watch bones. Later ya'll. By the way, I got my Harry Potter tickets for Friday...I am so excited. (Go ahead, laugh. I know its funny).
Not too much happened today. Just a busy day at work. Then I got to come home with this funny boy. He's getting to be such a good kid. Messy but good. Everytime he took a bite of something he liked he said"Good"...its like he understands when to say it. I dont know if he does. It may be coincedance. Well I 'm off to bed. Tomorrow promises to be another busy day. 42 shopping days until Christmas...later ya'll.
These were taken today...(please dont mind the dirty shirt). I just couldnt get over the way he was sitting. Like a little man. All cute and proper. Kristi said its because he's tired of taking pictures. Personally I think its because he knows he's cute...
He's finally got enough hair to stand up...LOL! This will be one of those pics he hates when he gets older.
Look at that face!!!

So I got an email from an old friend from high school today. I love to hear from my old friends. Especially those I was close with. Most of my senior year was spent with Tanya, Tiff H, and Sara. Tiffany B had moved states side for awhile. The 4 of us were pretty irrseperable. I still keep in touch with Tanya and no one has heard from Sara in like 5 years. I hadnt heard from Tiffany since 2002 so it was great to hear from her. She is married now and working on her masters degree, while teaching the fifth grade. (She always was the brain). You know it kinda sucks to only have 3 friends where you live. But its nice to know my other friends are out there...even if we have to talk through cyber space. Later ya'll
So does any one else's little one have the ability to make you feel bad about something you done? Man, I felt like the worlds worse mom today. We're trying to teach him what no means. And he does, but he likes to see if we're going to let him get away with whatever we told him not to do. Like pull every single movie we own out of the DVD case. We tell him no and if he still does it we pop his hands or padded butt. Nothing hard. And usually he just goes on his merry way and does something else. And the next time we say no he usually listens. So today, I tell him no like four times and then I popped his hand. Man he started screaming like I beat him. Then he looked at me like I broke his heart....which in turn broke mine...so I tried to pick him up and he cried harder and went to my sister. He wouldnt come to me for like 15 minutes. Which made me feel awful. Everything is okay now. He's laying here holding on to my hand while I type. But for those 15 minutes I felt like the worlds worst mom....and I could have cried. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come, when he knows how to use that stuff against me? What do you think?
Well Kristi was hanging him upside down and you could see his 2 top teeth. So I took a pic. Well of course my flash doesnt go off so I had to lighten it up alot so it looks a little funny, but if you look you can still see those 2 teeth.
Well we've been running around all day. Me and my mother in law. We got up early and took Tanner to Babies 'R Us to enter him in a baby contest. If he wins he'll be on the the cover a magazine. But it nationwide so the are odds are tough. But it was fun. Then we went to Target. Spent 80 bucks. I got his costume for next year...Spiderman. I also got Scott his movie.. "Star Wars III" he was so excited. Then we went to Kohls. Thats the first time I have ever been in a Kohls. Pretty nice. Its only been here about a month. I think I finally got home around 3. My little on is now cranky and refuses to take a nap. Which is fine. That means he will sleep later tomorrow for Scott. Well I'm off. Later everyone.
I posted this one just for you Tiff.
The guy giving out the candy had on a werwolf mask and Tanner was not too sure what to think about it. He didnt cry but he wouldnt take the candy either.
