This is the Mother’s Day card that Tanner made me.?? He got mad at himself for writing Mow instead of Mom 🙂 .?? This is an African scene with giraffes, gazelle’s and turtles.?? I can’t decide which I like better – the stick giraffe or the stick gazelle’s 🙂
??I realize this is actually too small for you to see, but Tanner and I made an “I Spy” birthday invitation for his cousins just for fun.?? He is going to be six on the 22nd!?? This year I finally wised up.?? Instead of taking him shopping for birthday gifts, I let him sit with Toys R Us.com and add all his selected items to his wishlist.?? Shopping with Tanner can be a miserable experience because he is incredibly indecisive.?? I warned Papa and Sweetie about this last year when they took him shopping.?? They haven’t volunteered again. :)?? Anyhow, I first showed him options on Toys R Us and the minute he started saying “It’s hard mommy.?? I can’t decide” – I quickly gave him a tutorial in wishlists so he could sort through the “finks in his mind” on his own time.?? So happy I thought of that.??

Not a heck of a lot to say today.?? The last couple weeks have been so behind in everything.?? The boys got sick then they gave it to mommy and I am struggling to get over it still.?? I may manage to get laundry done today though:)
I??took the boys weight and measurements today because I am trying to remember to keep records of this.
Tanner
Age – Will be 6 on the 22nd
Weight – 42.5 pounds
Height – 45.75 inches?? (2.25 inches more and he will be 4 foot already!)
Shoe Size – 13
Ty
Age – 3 (just turned a corrected 3 on the 1st)
Weight – 33 pounds
Height – 40.5 inches
Shoe Size – ??9.5
(Note to Heidi – check Seth’s height.?? I bet Ty is close in height because he is closer to a size 4 then a 3 in height).
Funnies

Tanner – Mommy can I play games??? I didn’t bug Ty today.?? Well….just a little bit…but not much.
🙂 🙂 🙂

Jim – Ty let’s go.
Ty – I need to put my shoes on.
Jim – You don’t need your shoes just come on.
Ty – I just need my feet?
🙂 🙂 🙂

Doni – (Singing On Top of Old Smokey while making Spaghetti and Meatballs)
Ty – Don’t sing
Doni – Why not?
Ty – That’s boring
🙂 🙂 🙂
****************
Ty – Mommy wash my hands
Doni – Ty I will when I get good and ready
Ty – (With a smile) Get good and ready
🙂 🙂 🙂

What Ty say’s every night before bed…
“When I wake up can I see you tommorrow Mommy?”
That must be a stall because when does he ever “not” see me in the morning? 🙂
********************
Ty – “Mommy am I so precious to you?”
🙂 🙂 🙂
********************
Ty has been going through the “baby stage” lately.?? He want to be held like a baby, he likes talking like a baby and he keeps wanting to walk around in just a diaper.?? He then say’s (and you have to say this fast and run it all together)…
“Can I take my pants off and walka lika little baby?”
“Can I have cuddle time?”
*********************
Lately when Ty gets aggravated with Tanner I can hear him screaming through the house TANNER JAMES!!!!!?? He loves the added effect of a middle name.
Yesterday Jim and I were watching TV and Jim starts giggling.?? He drew my attention to Ty’s voice screaming from the other room.?? (Sometimes I tone these things out 🙂 ).?? Ty was yelling “MOMMY!!!?? MOMMY JAMES!”

giggling at the mommy james and ‘just my feet’ – so many sweet things in this one!
i’ll try to weigh and measure seth this week. 🙂
Oh how I wish one of mine would ask for cuddle time…they grow up so fast!
Oh how cute my two nephews are! Always something funny or sweet coming out of their mouths. I may or may not have checked out Tanner’s wish list, and there may be a package arriving at the Brinkman household this week ; ) I hope Tanner enjoyed his wishlist as much as I enjoyed filling out my wedding registries. Too much fun!
Doni, Tonight Brooke and I were giving the boys a bath when we heard a crazy amount of splashing going on. I called out to Noah, “There better not be a lot of water on that floor.” They responded, “OK” as I heard the shower door closing. So I went in and Graham was standing above the bathtub while straddling it with feet on both sides. Just as I walk in and shouted, “Graham, NO!” he jumps into the air and lands with a huge splash. So I said, “Boys, I didn’t tell you you could do it just one more time, I said stop.” Noah replied, “It was Graham’s idea.!” “Noah, I don’t give any credit when you choose to follow someone elses bad ideas!” He responds quickly, “No, I didn’t say bad idea, I said idea.” To which I left.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH POOR DANIEL AND BROOKE! OH FATHER HELP THEM!!! HELP THEM! HELP THEM!!!!!
i don’t blame you for walking out… what in the heck do you say to that. what an ornery boy!!!
