Yesterday when I was giving Cody a bath, I turn around to find this.
I think Trevor has been spending way too much time watching me get ready. His favorite thing is my blow-dryer. If he hears me open the bathroom door, he will run to get in there. I showed Gregory this video and told him he needs to start spending some quality ''guy time" with Trevor, hunting, fishing, something guy-ish:)
Last night my friend Natalie called and invited me to the Suns game against the Spurs (boooooooo). The best part about the game was getting to sit in the second row!!!!!! It was so awesome! I've never in my life sat that close at any sporting event. Although the Suns lost, I had a great time hanging out with Nat. Thanks for inviting me!!!
The BIG guy, Shaq!

Last Friday we had a Build-A-Bear field trip for Cody's preschool. It was a little crazy with 20 kids there in such a small place. I think Trevor was more excited about the trip than Cody was. However, Cody was very excited to go to Peter Piper afterwards and play with his best friend Caden.
Bailey and Trevor being good like always

All the kiddos
Trevor really loves his brother bear. He sleeps with it every night.
Tonight Cody and I were talking about the baby...again. The kid is fascinated with the idea of a baby in my belly. It's very cute. He always asks me if the baby will come out of my belly button...I guess it looks like good place for a baby to come out of? :) So I was asking Cody what names he liked and what we should name the baby. If it's a boy, I asked him, should we name the baby Austin or Justin? He said Justin. Then I asked, If it's a girl, should we name her Malory or Abi? He thought about it for a second and then said we should name her Meghan...hhhhmmmm. Meghan, were you bribing my son at church today? :) I thought it was cute.
p.s- I need to take and post some video of Trevor doing his monkey impersonation. It's hilarious! I almost died laughing tonight.
Are there any good books out that I should read? I need some ideas...
So I am definitely pregnant and I made my first appointment. My first one is February 4th. I called to schedule an appointment with the Lady Dr that delivered Trevor, and she doesn't work there anymore :( The only person that takes our insurance is a Man Dr...I'm really nervous about this!!!! I've always had women Dr's, however, Jacy has assured me that he is an amazing Dr. Wish me luck! I'm also a little nervous because supposedly I'm already 9 weeks, and there have been no episodes of morning sickness...The sicker you are, the healthier the pregnancy right? As I talk about it, I get a little nauseous.
So I took a pregnancy test and found out I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!
The line was really light, but there was definitely a line. I had a feeling for some other reasons that I wont share on our family blog, but I've had an idea for about 4 days now...
I'm not exactly sure about the due date because my cycles were so irregular, but it should be around the last week of August to the first week in September.
So that's my BIG news!
p.s- I am going to take another test in a couple of days, but as for now, I'm 99.9% positive :)
My wonderful friend Meghan has been nice enough to pick Cody up and take him to church with her family for the past couple of Sundays. Cody was just so cute today, I had to get some pictures of him.
He found a stick in the yard, so of coarse he had to play 'hit the cactus with a stick' before he left
After I took these pictures, I realized that I haven't posted pictures of Trevor in a while either.
Complete with ketchup on his face.
A little update on the boys:
Cody is back to preschool after the Christmas break and loving it. Joy school has been so wonderful for him. He loves to be with his friends. My amazing friend Jacy and I worked out a great deal. Since her son didn't really like to go to preschool, and Cody really, really didn't like being picked up, we decided I would pick her son up and take him to school, and she would pick Cody up and bring him home. Cross our fingers, this arrangement worked out great last week. Hopefully we can keep this going?! Cody is still as onry as ever. It can be overwhelming at times to say the least (I still need to post the 'hole in the door' pictures. Yes, he put a hole in his door when we was in time out...not just a little pin-size hole, like the size of a basketball hole) but I love his spirit and I love that he has his own opinions on how things should be run in our house, LOL!
Trevor is just as sweet as ever. I weighed him the other day and he was 28lbs. I was thinking he was 30, but I was off a bit. He has so many teeth now! All of his year molars are in and he is getting all of his k9's in too. What is that? 16 teeth? It helps out with his huge appetite that he has. He is running and walking all over the place. He is throwing balls really well. He loves to 'play' soccer with Cody. And he loves his big brother!!!! He follows whatever Cody does...sometimes cute, sometimes not so cute.
All in all, the boys are as handsome as ever, eating like pro linebackers and growing like weeds.
ONE WORD....
SUPERBOWL!!!!!
AAAAHHHHHH! Cardinals are going to the SUPERBOWL!!
YYYYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Although Jeanne's birthday was last Friday, we celebrated last night at Macayo's. Thanks to all the wonderful ladies that made it a great night. I took count at one point and there were 15 of us! Hope you had a Happy Birthday Jeanne!!!! We love you!

Did anyone else just watch that AAAAMAZING Cardinals game????? Anyone, anyone? I did!!!! I am so freakin excited right now! I was honestly fully prepared to be sad about this game. I mean lets be real here; Panthers were 8-0 at home this year and the Cards, well some people thought they shouldn't even be in the playoffs to begin with even though they won their division. I say take that all you haters in the media!!! And I would also like to give a special thanks to Jake Delhomme (the Panthers quarterback for those of you who have no clue what the heck I'm talking about) for those wonderful 6 turn overs...2 by the way were in the red zone :) Bring it on Eagles or Gaints!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every Christmas Eve, we go over to John and Keri's and have dinner and our Christmas Story program. Dinner was great as usually, and then it was time for our program. Cody plays Joesph, their cousin Audra plays Mary, and this year Trevor was an Angel (of coarse). After our program we opened stockings.
I Love this picture! Classic Trevor face
Christmas day, everyone came to our house to watch the boys open their presents. Lucky for us, Cody sleeps in, so we were able to get all the gifts under the tree. Cody was so excited for his pirate ship and train table/set and Trevor loved his Tickle Me Elmo.
After all the gifts were open, Cody and Daddy decided to blow some bubbles out in the rain.
Price of Christmas gifts: $200. The time it took to open all the gifts, add batteries, and put everything together: 2 hours. My kids keeping busy, playing by themselves with their new toys for an hour: PRICELESS!
All About The Kiddos
Cody was born in Yuma, AZ on May 10, 2005. He was born at 2:54 on a Tuesday morning. He was 7lbs 2oz and was 19 inches long... I think back on it now, and all I really remember was being in pain for the whole day. I had a Drs appointment Monday morning and my Dr stripped my membranes. Yes, it's as painful as it sounds. After my appointment, Greg and I went and walked around Wal-Mart. Sounds funny, but it was the middle of summer in Yuma and Wal-mart was the only cool place to walk. I had been having little contractions here and there but nothing substantial. After walking, we went home and waited a while. Finally by 8 o'clock that night, I was ready. The hospital was 30 minutes away. Once I got into triage, I wasn’t dilated enough to be admitted so 2 more hours of harsh contractions walking around the hospital. I do remember Greg being a wonderful coach though. It seemed like the only thing that would help was to sway side to side. Im sure it probably looked like we were dancing. Finally around 11:30 they admitted me. I had my epidural and I was set. They called my Dr around 12. Too bad for me it took her 2 and a half hours to get there!!!! I always wondered what took her so long. I think I had to push maybe 5 times and there he was. My mom and Greg’s family made it just in time. They drove down from Phoenix just in time to see sweet Cody Boy. Cody was a colic baby which made for long nights and hard days. I think he was pretty much over that by the time he was 3 months. He has always been very expressive about what he likes and does not like. He makes it very clear when he wants or needs something. There is really no ignoring him, b/c he'll find a way to get what he wants. He is also very stubborn and hard-headed, but at the same time he is so cute, it's hard to be mad at him. Ever since he was a baby, he had to touch my hair in order to fall asleep. He still does that. He's a mama’s boy when it comes to cuddling, but he also has to get in his wrestle time with Daddy. Cody loves all animals and animals seem to love him (could be he always has some sort of food on him). He loves to play cars and trucks. I think he must have 100 hot wheels. My mom got him a spring horse that he loves to play on, especially when Gregory is watching Westerns. He gets his cowboy hat on and his play gun stuck in the back of his diaper and just goes to town being "Cowboy Cody." It’s so much fun just to watch him play and use his imagination. He is such a wonderful, free spirited little boy. He is also turning out to be an awesome big brother.
Just a quick tid bit...My best friend Kate and I found out were due a day apart last March. Her due date was November 19th and mine was the 20th. Well, Kate had baby girl Riley the same day I had Trevor! What are the odds right?
Trevor was born on Wednesday November 21, 2007 at 10:19 in the morning. He was a big boy at 8lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. I was induced with Trevor because there was no luck with stripping the membranes (twice) and I never had any contractions. I was supposed to go in early morning on the 19th, but the hospital was too full. So, I was put on a waiting list. Finally, around 11 at night on the 20th, I was called in. I had sent a text to Kate to let her know I was on my way to the hospital and her husband Cody text me back to let me know she was already there (we delivered at different hospitals). Once I got there, they gave me patocin to induce me and an epidural a little while later. It was great! The delivery part of it was nothing. I had to push maybe 3 times and he was born within minutes, healthy as could be. However, a little after he was born I started to feel nauseous. I ate some yogurt and sure enough it came right back up. I sat up in bed and saw white spots everywhere and heard ringing in my ears then blacked out. They took some blood work and it said I was anemic. I was having lots of blood clots coming out. The Dr ran in and started cleaning me out and pushing on my stomach and let me tell you it hurt like heck. I like to think I have a pretty high pain tolerance too (2 kids before this, 2 tattoos, and a couple of piercings with no complaints) but this sucked!!! I was shaking uncontrollably; I thought I was having a seizer. I guess I was going in and out of it, b/c I woke up later and Greg had put a rose on my chest. I remember waking up and asking him if he thought I died. It was probably one of the scariest times of my life (besides Greg leaving for Iraq). Im so glad my mom was there to explain to me in English all the Doctor lingo. I did get to go home for Thanksgiving with a beautiful, healthy baby boy. This was a big deal because I had some scares early on in my pregnancy. On the first ultrasound, we found out that my placenta was sitting way too low so it was squishing Trevor’s kidneys. They were way too small. That was terrifying for both Greg and me. After a couple more ultrasounds and a visit to a perinatologist (sounds serious right) we found out everything was fine. I couldn’t figure out what the big deal was for having small kidneys. I mean, there are two of them. Turns out after some research, it can be a sign of Down Syndrome. It was very scary!!!! We are so blessed that Trevor is healthy! Trevor is turning out to be an angel baby. He rarely cries and sleeps all through the night. He smiles all the time and loves to look at the color blue. He loves to watch Cody and always smiles when he gets to take a bath. Trevor just seems to love life. It is so much fun just to sit and cuddle him. He makes the cutest cooing sounds. I can’t wait to see more of his personality. It just goes by too fast. Greg and I are so blessed and we are reminded of that every time we see our beautiful boys.
Justin Gregory Tieman was born Friday September 18, 2009 at 9:11 in the morning. He weighed in at exactly 7 lbs and was 19.5 inches long. Everything in a time period of about 36 hours happened so quickly. I had my Dr’s appointment at 2 on Thursday and when I was there, he asked if I wanted the 12 am or 4 am spot to be induced. I took the 12 am spot. Gregory and I made it to the hospital around 12:30, checked in, and then went up to Labor and Delivery. I was given “the gel” around 2:15 am and by 2:20 I was already having small contractions. My nurse had me get up and walk the halls for about 40 minutes. I’m not sure what time I had my epidural? It was with the first nurse I had, so sometime between 3 and 6 am. I got a new nurse around 6:15 and she let me sleep for about 3 hours to get some rest. She came in 8:45-9:00 to check on me and see if I had dilated at all. To my surprise (and hers), I was fully dilated!!! I had slept through all of my contractions! It’s a good thing my Dr was just down stairs getting ready to come up and break my water. I felt so bad for him. I pretty much shot my baby out at him. I pushed 3 times (for about a minute) and he was out. They did have to use to vacuum on him because I already had some abrasions and was starting to bleed. Luckily I got all the medicine I needed and then some to help with the bleeding and everything went really well. I was able to leave the hospital the next day, feeling pretty good. Justin is only a couple of days old, but he is already such a blessing for our family. He is a wonderful baby and absolutely beautiful. Cody and Trevor can’t seem to get enough of him. They love getting to help feed Justin. They are such good big brothers! With Justin now here, I feel our family is complete. Gregory and I couldn’t be happier to have 3 wonderful boys in our lives!
