Money!

Tommy loves his money! We are working on numbers and counting and he loves to put his coins in his bank while he counts. He can say "1, 2, 3, 4" and "4,5,6" and "7,8,9". We are just working on putting it all together. With my help he can go all the way up to 10! He calls the faces on the pennies Jesus. Its so cute. Here he is with his homemade Cyrstal Light piggi bank. When he finds money he will walk around the house saying "Piggy bank! Where are you?"

The Booty and Jesus

MANsacra

Only Manly men can wear makeup and pull it off. Yesterday while I was getting ready for church Tommy came into the bathroom and asked "Doing?" At the moment I was putting on my mascara. I explained the process of makup and that Mommys put it on their eyes. He watched me for a minute or two and left. A few minutes later he comes running back all proud of himself saying "eyes, eyes!" He had found a blue marker and colored his eye just like Mommy. I couldnt get it all off so he got to show his independence off at church.

Family Reunion

We just got back from our family reunion late Sunday night. We had so much fun. We all went to my inlaws house in Missouri. We went to Nauvoo, Carthage, and to the Mark Twain lake. My favorites were touring the Carthage jail and the lake. Tommy loved seeing all his cousins for the first time. He loved all the little babies and especially all the boy cousins. They taught him so many cool things like the proper way to play with action figures.

Sparkpeople.com

I love Sparkpeople.com. It is the coolest website ever. It is an online weightloss program that helps you eat healthy. It gives you adjustable meal plans with real food with the correct portion sizes. It also gives you a grocery list and recipies. For me it is awsome because I dont like to figure out what Ill be eating for the week so I can go shopping. This makes it so easy. If anyone is curious or intrested you should check it out. Its really cool. In the first two weeks I started it I lost 7 pounds.

Little pig, little pig, let me in.

For some reason Tommy loves sticks. Not surprising because he really is all boy. Everytime we go for a walk or even go to the car he finds sticks. He will do a quick search and fill his arms with sticks. I always joke that if the power goes out and we need firewood, Tommy is our man. He can find a stick anywhere, even when there is no tree around. Its like his sixth sense or something. I call him one of the three little piggies.
