Swim Team 2015
Cody and Justin were very excited for swim team this summer. Trevor was not. I told Trevor he still had to participate in practices everyday but he could skip the meets. Gregory said that is not happening next summer, lol. This was Cody and Trevor's second year and Justin's first year on swim team. Cody was very excited to win his very first blue ribbon this summer. He is competing against kids that have been on swim team a lot longer than he has, but he does a great job at keeping up with them. If Justin really wanted to, he could probably be the next Michael Phelps...maybe not so much, but Justin did so awesome his first year. The last 3 or so meets, he won every single race he was in!! AND, he won all 3 of his races for championships! It was so fun to watch.

Baseball Season 2015
Gregory ended up assistant coaching Cody's team this year. They had a great season, placing 4th out of 13 teams. Cody mostly played third baseman and earned the nickname "C4" for his awesome batting skills. Trevor and Justin played on the same team this year. I think they might have won 1 game? Yeah, it was a rough season for them, but they always had a great attitude and enjoyed the game. And of coarse Little Miss Mallory loves the freedom she gets while the games are going on.

Christmas 2014
Christmas morning, the boys were up at 4:00! They were encouraged to go back to bed and then woke up around 7:00 :)
Normally, Gregory and I get the boys the same gifts in order to avoid fighting and arguing. But this year we took a different approach and got them all different gifts. My thinking this year was that the boys are old enough to share and not fight over things...I've been pleasantly surprised that so far it's been working out.

Egg Nog
Egg Nog is kind of a huge deal for me and the kiddos come Halloween time. I kid you not that I've bought over 20 liters in the past 2 months....yahhhhh...Well, this year, Mallory decided that she also loves egg nog. I caught her one morning in the fridge sneaking some and it was oh so cute.

Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney Movie. So after Mallory was born, I prayed to my Mom to give her the gift of song, beauty, smarts, and being sweet & kind to everyone in her kingdom :)

December 3
On December 3rd, Mallory and I celebrated our birthdays.
I had been bugging Gregory about this Michael Kors purse that I really wanted and he surprised me with early in the morning. I was doing T25 when he left for work. He started his truck and then I heard him walking back. I thought he had forgot something but when he walked in, he had a great big Macy's bag and said "Happy Birthday!". It's a very rare occasion that I'm surprised by something, but I was very surprised by that:) I was so excited!
I was even more excited when he got me the matching wallet for Christmas :)

All About The Kiddos
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!
