Bad Dog

I guess "bad dog" is something I say a lot of in our house. The other day Trevor was sitting on the floor trying to eat a piece of paper and I asked Cody to take it from him. Cody walks over to Trevor and shakes his finger at him and says "No No Trevor, bad dog". Then, last night we were jumping on the trampoline and I guess I jumped Cody too high. He was a little mad at me and said "No mommy, bad dog".

Are You Ready?!

With 1 day and counting, we are meeting at Jeanne's house tonight at 8 if anyone wants to come make Twilight shirts with us, and yes, there will be pictures to follow this post. We have to show off how creative we are right?:) Saturday is the book release and we will be in line for 2 hours.

And then Saturday night is Laura's Bridal Shower Soiree, and you will definitelty want to see those pictures. Tune in next Monday for a glipse of the weekend.

Hailey & Cody

Keri and I took Hailey and Cody to Arrowhead today. I had to get a couple of presents and when we were walking around we walked passed Kiddie Kandids. Last time we were there, I was not happy with the photographer at all, so I really hadn't planned on going back. But when we were walking by one of the ladies said we could come in and get a free 5x7, and of coarse we couldn't say no to a free picture. So I ended up telling the lady that was helping us that I had a bad experience with the last photographer and wasn't planning on coming back and she said I wasn't the only that has had complaints, so I felt a little better. Anyway, this was our free picture. Cody actually listened to this one and I think she did a good job.

Top 5

I have been such a hermit for the past couple of days that I have nothing interesting to blog about, so I decided to list my top 5 perfume picks (and every time I look at my blog, I see FIRE and cringe)

#1-Curve- It's my signature scent and my favorite!
#2-Miss Dior Cherie-Very classy-Goes great with my Tiffanys jewelry or pearls
#3-Pink by Victoria's Secret-every time I wear this, people want to know what it is.
#4-Ralph by Ralph Lauren-Cool and calming
#5-Coolwater-fresh and clean, great for summer.

So sorry for the dumb post... I promise to do something interesting in the future!

OMG-7 days to go until Breaking Dawn comes out!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm soooooooo excited?!?! So I guess it's kind of an unofficial girls night out. Everyone is meeting at Barnes and Noble at 10 to get in line for the book, and just so you know, they are having a prom themed party, so be prepared to be surrounded by people in prom dresses...A good idea is to go to Barnes and Noble before next Friday to reserve a copy of the book just to be sure you get one. I know that this coming Monday Stephenie Meyer is releasing something from the book on EW.com, but it's not supposed to be a spoiler or anything like that...Darn, but right now, I'll take what I can get. I've been going through Edward withdraw, just like everyone else I know. WOO-HOO for 7 days and counting!!!

FIRE!!!!!

This morning when I woke up, there was a funny smell in the kitchen, almost like gas. I thought maybe it was my crock pot or something and didn't think twice about it. Greg left to go run some errands, Laura and I took the kids to Luke Air Force base and then came home. A little while after Greg and I had been home for a bit our cable went out which in normal and I was on the phone waiting to talk to someone from Cox, and then all of a sudden there was a burning smell and something popped, almost like a gun shot and I went into the kitchen and one of the electrical outlets had caught on fire under Greg's fish tank!!!!! I was like 'oh crap there's a fire'! Luckily we caught it right when it started and Greg was able to unplug it. I cant even imagine if it had happened 2 hours earlier and we were not at home. We would have a burnt down house and 2 dead dogs. My mind is still going crazy with all the 'what ifs'. Thank God we were here to put it out!!!!!!!! My hands are still shaking and our house stinks. At least we still have a house!

Cody & Trevor

Both boys at 8 months old...How time flies

Trevor

Out of all the toys he has in his room, he chooses an electrical cord to play with... Must be a boy:)

Trevor's New Haircut

 

Click on picture to enlarge. Trevor got his big boy haircut and was so good about it. I'm so used to Cody kicking and screaming, I literally have to sit on him to cut his.

Brand New Twilight Movie Trailer

If you go to Stephenie Meyers website (listed under my links) it has the Yahoo version that is much better than the ET exclusive. It's still a good one though!!!!

Memory Lane

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don’t want to play on your blog, or if you don’t have a blog, I’ll leave my memory of you in my comments.So let’s have it! Don’t be shy! What do you remember? Anything funny, embarrassing, silly…

What Have The Tiemans Been Up To?

First, I ended up buying Cody the Toy Story movie. It was a bad idea, at least for me. It's the only movie he wants to watch now. I think I have the whole movie memorized. Then, on Sunday Greg and I went to Walmart and got a trampoline. It has been so much fun for Cody to jump and get some energy out (much better than watching a movie all day). The first thing I hear in the morning is Cody saying "jump, jump". He likes it when I jump too. I can't believe how tired and out of breath I get just from jumping. Cody is almost a little jumping Nazi though. He always tells me, "jump, jump, again, again". He would make a good personal trainer.

Then... Greg and I decided that we needed to do something to motivate us to work out. Going to gym has not worked in the past for us. Cody screams when he has to go to the child watch and they end up coming to get me about 20 minutes into my workout. Then we would try and take turns going, but it just takes twice as long. So we decided to get a home workout center. It's in our garage b/c it's huge! And it gets pretty hot in the garage, so that's actually a good thing for losing weight. It has every workout that we need, plus, the more you sweat, the fat you lose. So between jumping with Cody, working out, taking care of Trevor, I'm trying to finish up The Host. All in a days work.

Girls Night

Thank you Sarah for hosting our Girls Night! It was so much fun...GREAT food, fun conversations and interesting talents. (Sarah, can you email me the recipe for that chicken stroganoff? tieman03@cox.net)

Me and Brea...Brea, you have the best smile ever and you are always so sweet

Fun conversations

Me and Jeanne...Jeanne, you were my first friend I met after moving to Litchfield. You are such an amazing person, and I love just sitting and talking with you

TJ teaching the hula (far right)...TJ, I have a video of this that is so funny, but since I love you I won't post it b/c I know you would be embarrassed

Me and Meghan...Meghan, I have loved to getting to know. You make me laugh all the time and we have so much in common. I'm glad I'm not the only Twilight obsessed person!

I have a feeling our next unofficial Girls Night will be August 1st...late night so we can stand in line at Barnes and Noble. I'm so excited!

Nap Time

Nap time at the Tiemans

Friday Fun Day

Today my mom and I took the boys to the Children's Museum of Phoenix <-(click on link for info). I would definitely give it 4 out of 5 stars, and I say 4 because it's not completely done yet. When all the exhibits are done in late 2008, it for sure will be a 5 star place for the family. Cody had so much fun!!!! But I think his favorite thing of all was the lite up plexiglass sand box. They have exhibits for all age levels. I liked that they had baby stuff integrated with the older kid things. It made keeping an eye on Cody a lot easier. Cody also really liked the Pit Stop with a real motorcycle and race car. It also had wooden race cars with the track overhead. It was fun to watch. I went to go change Trevor's diaper in the bathroom and this like girl comes in with her mom and says 'mom, this is the best place ever! thanks for taking me here'. It was really cute. After 2 hours at the museum, we braved the neighborhood of downtown Phoenix and went to Carolina's Mexican restaurant. It's like one of those neighborhoods you don't dare go to after dark, but the food was soooooo good. It was almost like having mexican food in Yuma again. (Yuma has the best meat markets with the best carne asada and pollo asada) Both the boys fell asleep on the way home to my moms house, slept another half hour to our house and Cody even slept another hour in bed. After he woke up, he got to take the dogs to the park with his dad. I'd say we had a good Friday...and yes, I did buy the E.T Weekly mag. Obsessed I tell you!!!

Friday

I was just looking at Stephenie Meyers website and found out that Twilight made the Entertainment Weekly cover. It has Stephenie's first interview about Breaking Dawn, but no spoilers so don't worry. It comes out this Friday...Just thought some peeps might be interested.

Trevor

I know this is a Budweiser commercial, but I saw it today and it literally made me cry. Oh, and you need the volume on for the full affect.

Even though Greg's been home safe for almost 5 years now, things like this still make me tear up. I'm such a sap!

Eclipse

I swear this will be my last post about the Twilight Saga...At least until Breaking Dawn comes out August 2nd :) And yes, my background is a tribute to Twilight...Note the black, white and red.
So, I was really trying to pace myself on this one, but it didn't work so well. It did take me longer than the others...5 days. I was trying to stretch it out for the whole month, but that never happened. I was up til 12 and sometimes 1 every night reading. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm starting to freak out that Bella is going to choose Jacob!!!!! AAAAHHHHHH<- That's me screaming because I will be so mad if that happens! I just want to flick the silly girl in her forehead and say 'what the heck are you thinking, WAKE UP' Seriously, that will be a sad, sad day for me if that happens. She will pick Edward right? I need some reassurance here!

Growing Boys

Every time I blink, the boys look bigger. Trevor is eating lots of solid food now. Cody loves having his brother at the table with him.

Trevor's first spaghetti

I love my Cody boy!!!

What a mess! What was I thinking?!

Cody wanted to make sure Trevor finished his dinner

Good News, Bad News

Good news is Greg's application for a Law Enforcement Trainee with the Forest Service was accepted and was referred to the selecting official. They pick 3 applications out of everyone who applied so this was a big deal. If the selecting official likes Greg's application, he will be called for an interview. Bad news, I guess, is that the job is in Big Fork, Montana. Greg is dying to get out of AZ, so it's not bad news for him. He has always wanted to live in MT. Anyway, we're trying not to get our hopes up. There is another job with the Forest Service in Flagstaff that he has a really good chance of getting too, so at least we have our options.

Midnight Sun

I finished New Moon yesterday morning...I didn't like it as much as Twilight though (for obvious reasons:), but it was still really good. I read them back to back so it really just seemed like one book. I started Eclipse last night and finished about 70 pages. I am trying to pace myself on this one seeing that Breaking Dawn isn't out until August 2nd. There is no way I'll be able to wait that long. I'm almost contemplating starting The Host rather than finish Eclipse. I was so excited today when I went to http://www.StephenieMeyer.com/ , the author, and saw that she was starting to write 'Midnight Sun'. It's Edwards version of Twilight and she posted the first chapter!!!!!!!!!!! I loved that it was Edwards point of view, because lets face it, everybody loves Edward and he is a lot more interesting!!!! My mom is so funny...she just got back from Europe and saw people wearing 'Team Edward' shirts over there (she thought it was for Prince Edward :) I was telling her how huge Twilight is and that it's a worldwide best seller. I think before we go see the movie, we should All make 'Team Edward' shirts :) I know Meghans with me! I bet Scott is too:)

P.S. I loved that she named it Midnight Sun, considering that midnight sun and twilight are the same thing, hence the Bella and Edward versions...LOVE IT!!!!
