The Genius in concert!

Come if you can! It will be awesome!

Back by popular demand. . .

Belly shots. Like I told my friend yesterday, it was fun sharing belly shots until I started getting ginormous. It's not so much fun now. But I'll post a few. And I think it's funny that the people requesting them are the ones that see me on an almost daily basis! So you know that I'm now resembling Ginormica from Monsters vs Aliens.

I don't know the dates on the first two. Sometime between the last photo and today.
Okay, I look really goofy in this one.
This is me this morning at 35 weeks.
I like the flash in front of my face. It disguises my extra chins that I've recently acquired.

And here are some bonus photos. The first two are the guitar cake that The Genius and Little Man T made for the Blue and Gold banquet back in February.
Okay, this isn't the best photo of the three of them, but it's funny. Little Lady D's hair is half done and Little Man A has an awesome look on his face. Sweet!
These are from Little Man T's birthday, just a few days ago. I love the faces he's making at his uncle. When singing "Happy Birthday", Uncle Genius (he's The Genius's brother and pretty smart too) likes to sing with a lot of . . .umm. . .gusto. Little Man T didn't know what to think. It was hilarious!
Best picture ever.Yeah, I know the cake is lame. It's what he asked for and I'm really pregnant!

A conversation with Little Lady D

Tina: Little Lady D, what do you want for lunch?
Little Lady D: Pizza, pepperoni pizza.
T: Do you want it hot or cold?
LLD: I want one hot and two cold.
T: There is only one piece of pizza. Do you want it hot or cold?
LLD: You can cut it into three pieces and do one hot and two cold.
T: I'm not cutting up one piece of pizza, do you want it hot or cold?
LLD: Cut it into two pieces and I want one hot and one cold.
T: Fine.
I then cut one thin slice of pizza into two even thinner pieces and give one to her cold and warm the other one up.

Seriously?

Some pictures

To update you all real fast and me and the family, a few photos:

Apparently, this kid has a talent for Trash Talking his Dad. As in, "Bet you can't do this song on 'Expert', like I can." He's usually right.

The Genius tries, he really does. But the kid has a talent. And more time to practice.

She turned five. Who does she think she is?

He turned seven. Who does he think he is?

And for Sheri, here's a "Watch the Belly Grow" series:

About 18 weeks

About 23 weeks

Earlier today (about 25 weeks)

And just cuz it's so freaking cute:

Look who's famous!

Little Lady D, that's who! She's a model for MollyGear, a totally cool company that makes designer scripture bags and totes. I know I'm biased, but isn't she so pretty? And seriously, the shirt is awesome too!

I have to tell you guys how awesome MollyGear is. My super cool sister in law started the company and their products are cool and hip and nothing like you'd buy at Deseret Book; very distinctive and original. Here's a picture of my bag that I got a few years ago. It's totally me (obviously, because it's green, right?)

Here's the inside:


Cool, huh? The best part is that Molly Gear just came out with a totally cool new Tote. It's perfect for carrying all your stuff to church (manual, scriptures, snack for kids, snack for you, extra tithing envelopes for all the extra tithing I'm paying. Oh wait. . .) And they are in great fabrics; incredibly cute! If I knew how to do a super cool link that said "Click here" and could make it clickable, I would do that. But I'm lame, so here's a super long link. Check it out!

Don't forget to look at their "Ugly Scripture Bag" contest. There are some real sweet bags on there!

I'm a TV star!

Okay, not really, but my friend Amy is! She was the guest host last week on a local TV show called Good Things Utah. I'm not a fan of the show, but it was really fun to go and see it live, because my friend was so freaking awesome! She's really a natural, they should hire her, for realsies. Here's a photo of the ladies who host the show (Amy's the second from the right) and standing behind is a group of friends that went to cheer for Amy.

And is anybody interested in being PTA president at my kids' school next year? Cuz I'm not.

Summer Vacation (aka One Day at a Time)

The last day of school was in May. So we've been doing summer vacation for about a month now. I was really afraid at first, but I do have to say (and am probably jinxing myself as I say it) it's going very well! We have a set schedule of events and it keeps us really busy. Monday is park day, Tuesday is movie day, Wednesday is water day, Thursday is field trip day, and Friday is mom passes out from exhaustion day. We've managed to have some fun and avoid major sunburn for the most part. Today we went to a museum, which I thought was pretty cool. Little Man T decided that the only thing he wanted to accomplish at the museum was to push every button in the entire place. Lofty goal, huh? After the museum, we went to a local shopping center and played in the fountain. My brother-in-law thinks it's a white trash thing to do, but my kids think it's fun. Who am I to stop them from a good time? Here's a photo of the three of them (my boys are in the matching shirts) with a friend.
And I know it's not the best quality; I took it on my phone. Unlike many smart moms who take cameras with them at all times to catch their offspring looking adorable at any given moment, I choose to leave mine at home, knowing someday my children will ask why there are no photos of them anywhere.
