Before and After

The one nice thing about having your own house is that you can change anything that you want to. The one thing that I hated in my house was the color of my grout in my kitchen. It looked dirty even when it was clean, muti-colored, and dull. It seemed like every other month I was down on my hands and knees scrubbing it-yes it has been sealed.

Matt says that I was obsessed with trying to get it clean. I just wasn't happy with the results. Home Depot told me to chisil out all of the grout and start over again. Man would that be a tone of work! I did some researching online and found out that you can dye grout. So after a trip or two to the Home Depot and a lot of hard work I can finally say that I love it. When I got it done Matt said "Teresa please tell me you will stop after this" and I have. Vaylene has asked me to post it so here are some before and after pictures.

Battle Wounds

Yesterday Aiden had a mishap and landed himself in Primary children's hospital. I didn't see what happened because I was washing dishes. I heard him cry and found him by the fireplace. I am guessing he tripped and fell into the rock or climbed on top of it and fell. Any ways he got 4 stitches along his bottom lip. It knocked his top tooth loose but I think that it will be fine. Poor Matt spent 6 hours at the hospital mostly just waiting for them to stitch it closed. Aiden was a trooper until the doctor wiggled his tooth and then he threw his first tantrum. Matt says he kept taking his juice and hucked it accost the room. They had to sedate him and gave him a drug up his nose that made him loopy. He couldn't walk because of the drugs and that made him mad because he kept falling over.


He is doing really good today. He is back to his old self. Poor Baby!

Happy Halloween

Jake and Aiden had so much fun this Halloween. Jake was tigger and Aiden was a monster from the muppets. And I do have to add yes I did make Aidens costume. I acually made it for Jake but my plan backfired when Jake refused to put it on. Aiden didn't like wearing it eithtter but it was much easier to force it onto him than Jake.

Jake is picking up a few more words here and there. He still calls me by my first name. He won't call me or matt Mom or Dad. All day it Teresa Teresa Teresa. I hope Aiden doen't do the same. Having a daycare where all the kids call Teresa can have some disadvantage. He is almost three and he still isn't talking like I wish he would. I am thinking about getting him checked out because I really think that he should be saying more words by now. He basically talkes nonstop all day but it is in his own laungage. I pritty much know what he is saying because I have memorized his way of communicating.


So here is the scoop on Aiden:

I took Aiden in for his yearly shots and is weight has dropped from 25% into the negitive percentile. He is also short. His little fat rolls on his thights are just about gone and he is looking more like Jakes skinny legs. Oh well I guess thats what he gets for having skinny parents. He loves to get into everything. He really likes it when I tell him no. He cracks up and thinks its a game. His favorite thing to do is get into the t.v. cabinet and pull out the d.v.d's.


Jake is just about potty trained. He is still learning to master the poopen thing. I can't tell you how nice it is to change only one kids diapers.
