Tiago is 2

June 6, 2017 admin No Comments

Tiago Ford!

This kid is so cute and fun. I love seeing his personality develop a little each day. These photos caught a little bit of that personality.

This birthday boy and his presents:

and we spent the day at home playing and making the cake and drinking pool water??

Then we went and watched Ben play soccer – which Tiago loved running around at the field:

And then came home for cake and ice cream. Joel and Megan were able to stop by and the Falabellas popped over to make it a party.

He loved blowing out his candles! He blew them out 3 times while we sang and he sang Cha Cha Cha in between each line of the song – ADORABLE!

and look at him enjoy that cake! He just looks like a happy 2 year old!

Mom and Dad came over shortly after the cake:

Since turning 2: He sleeps in the boys room on the quad bunk! (Ray’s bed) He learned how to give kisses. He loves to drink his milk and watch a show when he is tired. He tries to go to the bathroom on the toilet like Millie does. He loves to copy other peoples dance moves. And he actually went to nursery for the 3rd hour!

March 5 – Tiago’s First Haircut!

March 12, 2017 admin No Comments

The Scraggly Hair… He was definitely in need of his first hair cut. He looks so big now! And I love that I can see his eyes.

THEN… Millie decided to give herself her 2nd Hair cut@!@! as she told Joel today – “I’m the only one that cuts my hair!”

And Tiago is being such a pill at church 🙁 He WON’T go to nursery 🙁 We’ve tried all of our tricks and he just throws a big old fit until he gets his way. Then he falls asleep in the 3rd hour.

But it all ended well with the delicious Rolls that Ben made for dinner 🙂

Doritos Commercial

February 20, 2017 admin No Comments

I kept expecting a fun doritos commercial during the Super Bowl but it never came. This kid with his Cheeze Its would have done the job!

And I’m sad to report that Ago and Millie are addicted to chips right now.

18 MONTHS

TIAGO FORD

Turned 18 months on December 1st.

Cried for 15 minutes because I wouldn’t let him go to nursery with a cold.

This kid makes us laugh. He loves to be in the mix with all of the other kids.

He throws big fits when he wakes up and when you try to confine him but if you give him some space he will just play for hours.

He still loves his milk and food and weighs a TON – 30lbs.

He has the best smile. He loves Brewer. He loves to tease. He loves to hit. He often hits other kids that he feels threatened by.

Tiago plays a mean game of catch and still loves to dribble the soccer ball.

He doesn’t talk yet but he babbles quite a bit now and will try to repeat when he’s in the right mood – BUT he undertsands everything. It always amazes me how much they “get it” at this age.

He still sleeps in our closet with his special blanket and music box. he sleeps from 8pm – 8am pretty much every night. He is finally starting to get a mouth full of teeth He had 8 for forever, Now he has maybe 15?

My HOME crew

September 22, 2016 admin No Comments

when all the kids are off at school this is what I’m still up against:

188august2016

Ray is pretty easy. He does his Upstart Computer Homework every day after we take Rose to school. Then he gets a little bit of tablet time. He is self sufficient and doesn’t demand much. My biggest problem with him is that he will play the tablet and disappear = playing way tooo much.

Millie still runs the house. I am trying to potty train but she and I are both lazy. She loves to snuggle with me and watch shows or kids Utube crazy homemade videos. I usually snuggle with her and rest while Ray does his homework.

Tiago is ready for a nap right after we drop Rose off. He takes a good 2-3 hour nap every afternoon. He is learning to yell and use his voice and communicates a lot with his actions. He is so much fun to chill and laugh with.

Do the “-Ago, do the “-Ago”

Tiago is our entertainment. He loves music and always throws his hands in the air. We find ourselves hovering around him doing the “Ago” Dance and laughing.

This dance was after an inspiring FHE about education and doing good in school!

BENJI the BABYSITTER!

August 23, 2016 admin No Comments

I am SOOO EXCITED! We went to the RSL game on Saturday night and BENJI! babysat for us! from 7-10:30! He got all of the kids in bed and everything was perfect. Do you know what this means!!!!

We took Tiago to the game to make sure that it would be a good experience and it was! He did awesome babysitting and it was an awesome RSL game – they pulled off the win against the top ranked team in their division! Shannon and Kelsey were pretty fun too 🙂

IMG_20160820_201843 IMG_20160820_204417 IMG_20160820_204512 IMG_20160820_230618_01

This summer was the turning point for me. I was able to leave some or all of the kids with Benji for short amounts of time. I felt like I had so much FREEDOM 🙂 I often went to the grocery store during nap time. once I took the girls shopping. I even got my tires rotated and oil changed on time!! It’s a whole new world. But now he’s back in school 🙁

girls night

August 14, 2016 admin No Comments

the boys left for Father and Sons and the girls partied! We couldn’t let them have all of the fun so we headed to the PG pool!

IMG_20160812_170924

Then we spent an hour or two at McDonalds! Dinner, play place, Fudge Sundays…

IMG_20160812_174101 IMG_20160812_174409 IMG_20160812_174424 IMG_20160812_174511 IMG_20160812_174926 IMG_20160812_175905 IMG_20160812_181940 IMG_20160812_183127 IMG_20160812_183247 IMG_20160812_183640

And then Tiago and Millie went to bed before 8:00 and Cali, Rose, and I stayed up watching movies! Teen Beach #2 and My Girl.

IMG_20160812_202313

Saturday morning we turned on My Girl 2 while we waited for the boys to get home. It was fun to hang out with my girlies. Maybe next year Tiago can be a boy 🙂

Tiago!

June 6, 2016 admin No Comments

My baby is 1!!

Time flies! I love this little guy. He is standing all of the time but no steps. He has 6 teeth. He LOVES his bed and his tag on his blanket and his Mobile Music to fall asleep. Tiago usually gets called Ago – not ago but how do you spell that?? Anyway. He gives the best snuggles. He loves to explore when he is in his own home and knows we are close by. He usually sleeps through the night but every now and then he wakes up and all he needs is me to hold him. I secretly like it. We had a lunch time birthday party. Tiago was pretty chill through the whole thing.
