Teagan has a "boyfriend"....
The other day, Teagan announced to me that "I have a boyfriend at school. His name is Aaron, and he likes the red ninja turtle." I kind-of raised an eyebrow and then came to the calming conclusion that she doesn't really know what a "boyfriend" is and that she was probably just saying that her friend at school is a boy. Well....when I picked her ( Read more... ) -
Life in Puyallup...
We've been officially living in Puyallup again since Monday last week. We still have a ton of unpacking, painting and picture hanging to do but for the most part we are moved in (unless you look in our garage...work in progress, heh). I never realized how much I loved living in Puyallup when we lived here before. It really is such a convenient ( Read more... ) -
Moving day! And preschool update.
As of last weekend, we are officially living in puyallup again. We started moving in on Sunday and spent our first night at the house on Monday. Even tho the house is still in shambles and still has a lot of work to be done for it to feel like "home", it is good to be back in puyallup. We've had so many ridiculous issues with comcast thus far with ( Read more... ) -
to do...
My to do list is growing and with a new puppy in the midst of it all. A trip to the fabric store is in order so I can start on Teagan's christmas dress. I decided NOT to go the "formal" dress route this year. Instead we're gonna go a little more low-key and fun and this will make it easier on me, I could probably get it finished within a few ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to the family, Iris!
Well...we did it! We have a new baby! Well....a furry baby anyways;) We had been throwing around the idea of getting a large breed dog for a while now. Ever since Teagan had started begging for one, over a year ago now. We were between a German Shepherd or a Golden Retriever and after researching and reading up on both, we decided the best fit ( Read more... ) -
Fantastic memories
I was added to a group on Facebook a couple days ago that is solely for the "old school" ravers in the Seattle area...(and thankfully it is a secret group. With 1400 members and counting but we've all "been there", heh). Suddenly Facebook is fun again. Reminiscing about the good ole days at naf and listening to all the memories everyone has of each ( Read more... ) -
Great Wolf Lodge and Happy Birthday Audrey
we went to the Great Wolf Lodge this weekend with my family and had a really great time. Teagan participated in one of the magic quests and had a BLAST with it. They run around the lodge with a wand that unlocks treasure chests, makes animals talk, and unleashes spells. My little muggle-born<3 ;) The next hermione granger? My mom seemed to be ( Read more... ) -
"How beautiful the day, when kindness touches it"
The other day, my wonderful mother was surprised by a beautifully generous gift from her co-workers at Valley. They had arranged a surprise luncheon for her at the Cheesecake Factory where she had thought she was just meeting up with one of her friends, but was surprised to find more of her friends from the ER there and my dad, Rich, Teagan and I ( Read more... ) -
birthday party recap and 4 yr check-up
Apparently turning 4 means that you can do everything. From buttoning all the buttons on your shirt...to driving. Yesterday as she was getting ready for bed, her pajama shirt is a button up style and she got all excited that she buttoned all the buttons. She said it's because she's 4...and then a light bulb turned on above her head and she said ( Read more... ) -
Our day yesterday!
As you know, Teagan's 4th birthday was yesterday. I have to believe we succeeded in making her feel as special as anyone should feel on their birthday;) She woke up in the morning, calling for us from her bed as she usually does (and these are the things that happily remind me that she is still our baby.) and as soon as we walked in to her room, ( Read more... )
