Tavis "tid Bit"

Tavis is sick. I think its his tooth, and I feel like a bad mommy for not being better at brushing his teeth and flossing them. I have allways had really good teeth. Now I know that is not just a blessing but a curse. i don't take the best care of my teeth and so I have handed that habit down with my childrens. he has had a high fever for the past few days, plus his nose is running non stop and he won't eat cuz it hurts his mouth he was up all night screamin and delirious i guess...talking and screaming as if he was in a nightmare. the side of his face is poofing a little and I don't have to guess what that means, i've seen it happen to my mom and when i was prego with Hailey my teeth went to the dogs and same thing happen to me. Emergency root Canal...ahhhh oh those words strike me hard in the heart and the mouth. I can handle any needle anywhere...just not the gums. yuck. not to mention the cost OUCH. but the worst of it is it's my fault. It's one thing when you let it happen to yourself...it's quiet the other when its your child who suffers. Any how we are going to give him a blessing today to see if that can hold him off till 2 morrow..when dentist are open, but if it gets any worse I can't wait any longer. heres the Tavis Tid Bit:

a couple nights ago Tavis and I were playin the bed game!! Not a game either of us like to play. its when I put him to bed and he gets up 20 times ...well i think it was the 21st time of putting him in "naughty time out" where I hold him tightly in place for a couple mintutes. He hates to be restrained. as I was asking him if he was ready to go to bed and stay there he says, "mommy, sing to me and rock me..I want to fall asleep in your arms"...My heart melted and seriously how do you say no to that? so I sang him a few of our favorites rocked him close to me like I did when he was a baby and just breathed in the moment. Every thing about it, the smell of his fresh clean hair, baby lotion soft on his skin, his warm little heart beat beating next to mine. I love My little tavis and there isn't anything I won't do for him or give up of myself for his better. Even if it means brushing and flossing his teeth 5 times a daily!!!

Sorry little Guy...I promise I'll do better.

Love mommy

My Mullet Girl

Hailey's Hair is getting so long and I love it. Mostly cuz she has a mullet! just kidden. I have NEVER cut her hair, Crazy I know, considering I am a hair stylist. But i just can't. I want her to have really long pretty hair. I was an 80's baby so I allways had short hair. Plus Nate has made it very clear that I can do what I want with my hair but Haileys I must not touch!! HE's a long hair fan...thus my quest to grow my hair out. even though I remind him he fell in love with me when my hair was the shortest it has ever been...but we all know that I wouldn't last long growing it out if I didn't want it myself!! I Love having a girl. I know it's wrong to live vicariously threw your kids but I do...and I have big plans for them...Tavis is going to be a super star Basketball/Volleyball player and Hailey is going to be the best Dancer/leader of the free world there ever was!!!! HAHAHAHA I'm half kidding. Anyhow I'm pretty proud of myself for not touching hers or my hair on our(mean "my") mission for long hair!!

Happy 4th of...what are we thinking??

Okay, so these pictures are of Tavis and Hailey last 4th of July, and I got to thinking...all year roundI am constantly telling, warning, screaming..."get away from the stove..it's HOT""don't play with that candle it will BURN you""don't stand too close to the fire you could catch on FIRE"
Yet every year on the 4th of July I hand my children a stick that has a big flame moving down it towards their hand and say.."have fun"!!! HMMMMM...

Finally some pictures!

Tavis "Tid Bits"

Last Saturday while I was at the Salon and NAte was running some appointments....My Inlaws had Hailey and Tavis. Since I had Broken their 20 year old washer with my 2 sheets, one comforter, one small blanket and a couple of pillow shams...they needed to go look at new washers!! the Brave souls took Tavis and Hailey to the store with them. When I got home that evening My Father in law told me a funny little Tavis Tid Bit: " well, the kids did great at the store! Tavis really likes the BIG SCREEN TV's" he was pretending to drive with Batman. It was hard to pry him from it (typical male) but we had to go a few floors up to get to the washers. So we all piled into the elevator and as the doors closed he got all excited about the movement up, he stood right by the doors facing them when the door had closed and was in the same spot when they opened a few floors up. when they opened and looked out onto the new floor he looked up at me while shrugging his little shoulders and asked with a very confused look on his face...WHAT HAPPENED?????"


I didn't get it at first and then I couldn't stop laughing. all the merchandise had changed from one floor to the other and he was sooo confused why it had changed!
Its great to really make yourself look through you child's eyes....its full of suprises and change, new adventures and love!!
