Go Fish

Well Marshall and Tay have been telling me that Tierney has expanded her vocabulary to include dam* it. I was thinking that they were not understanding her right. Well I was just signing some notes for work and Tierney and Grandma Ann are playing go fish in the other room and Tierney asked Grandma for a card and Grandma didn't have then plain as day I hear Tierney say dam* it. Of course Grandma just went on playing... I'm not sure she understood her but oh boy we are going to have to correct that before school starts!

We went to Papa's for Father's Day. Tierney picked out new barbie fishing poles for her and Hailey. Tay also got a new fishing pole but hers turned out to be junk (as she would say). The barbie ones caught the most fish! All of the girls had a good time and it was a beautiful day!

Helga

Well our little princess thinks that her name should be Helga. At breakfast today she told us that she is not Tierney Perkins and her name is Helga. The girls love to play American Gladiators. Oh and Tierney is mad that Tay has her hair braided because only she should have her hair braided since she is Helga and Helga has braided hair! Gotta love her determination!

Grandma visit

Here is a picture of our little Tierney being fancy like her idol Fancy Nancy. She loves to get all dressed up. She got a Fancy Nancy skirt that Tay picked out for her when we went shopping. Tay dressed her up and put make up on Tierney, which makes Tierney just giggle because she gets so excited! Then of course we have to take lots of pictures.


The girls have been having so much fun the past two days. Marshall's grandma has been visiting during the day... her house was flooded in Waverly so she has been staying with Marshall's parents. While they are working she has been coming over to visit. The girls have loved it. Grandma has played with them and got to go and watch Tay's swimming lessons. Tonight we are going to a parade. I know grandma is ready to get back to her house but we are really enjoying her visit.

Summer at last!!

Summer is finally here! Taylor couldn't wait for school to get out... I'm not sure why since she was bored her first day. So her second day off she and I went shopping and had a girls day. Marshall and Tierney spent the day cleaning up the yard... Our yard is such a mess. Marshall, my grandpa, and my mom got our patio put in on Thursday! I love it!! We sat out on it last night. Marshall grilled and then we ate outside and then did smores in our fire pit that Nate and Beth gave us two years ago and we just used for the first time! The girls think it is the greatest thing ever. While Marshall was grilling Taylor tried out her roller blades that she got for her birthday but hadn't got to use until now since the weather was so crappy. She did really well on them. And Tierney rode her bike to catch up with Tay. She is getting really good at pedaling now that she can finally reach them. I think we are all glad to have some nice weather!!

Always Something...

The past twenty-four hours have been crazy! I got home from work yesterday to find Taylor coughing like crazy. They had been at the park all day in the damp weather and her asthma was all flared up. So I knew no one would get much sleep since her coughing keeps us all up. When I finally got them both settled down and sleeping and got to sleep myself Tierney woke up crying that her ear hurt. Well Marshall and I spent most the night up with her. She was in pain and Tylenol wasn't working. So this morning Tay was sure she had to go to school for their talent show and because she has a ballgame tonight. She looks terrible with bags under her eyes but hey they only have today and tomorrow left of school so who am I to argue with her. I then call the doctor who can't get Tierney in until 1:30 so I decide I would work at home this morning. Then I come to find out I left the paperwork I needed at the office so I had to go in anyway and then meet Marshall halfway so I can take Tierney to the doctor who now seems fine. Well she has double ear infection. Both of her tubes are no longer doing any good. Her right ear is really bad. I am hoping we won't have to do the tubes again since she had trouble with the anesthesia after her tonsils and adenoids came out... but I am afraid this is not a good sign. Needless to say it has been a very LONG twenty-four hours and we have a ballgame still tonight plus work is very crazy right now! I am hoping tonight will go much better we should have two doses of antibiotic in Tierney and hopefully can get a nebulizer done for Tay with some cough syrup so we can all sleep tonight!!
