We've started in on school, which I have taken on the joy of homeschooling again! I am so much happier doing it this way, and we have so much more time for the fun things in life! I feel like this is how life is supposed to be. Yeah, I don't get a whole ton of quiet moments, but I do get enough, and it's all good! This weekend we're heading out to a homeschool campout with a lot of fun people! We'll be having some fun classes, buliding rockets, and learning how to tie knots, and all sorts of fun things! I'm so excited! Neil has started back to school too, so he's getting back into his schedule, but doing well. He's still working on cars too. The lord always blesses us just when we really need it with another car for him to fix! So many people are the answers to ou prayers by them coming to him! Sorry their car is broken, but thankful they are choosing him! I've learned a lot about faith these past years, but for some reason it has really hit me this past year how wonderful that principal is! We've had to reli A LOT on faith, and somehow, the Lord is always there to catch us just before we fall! I feel his knowledge of me and my family so much. I know he knows whats going on with us and knows just when we need the extra boost to help us through. I'm so grateful that I have been belssed with that knowledge. It's something that I might never have truly know if we hadn't had to struggle so much financially. So I hate my trials, but I am grateful for what I have been taught thru them! I don't know how that turned into something so long, maybe it's because I have written it in my journal lately and I just need to get it down.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-89391364127480381322010-02-25T15:31:00.000-08:002010-02-25T15:43:22.071-08:00I AM 30!I can't belive it, one year older already! Time sure does fly by that's for sure! Sometimes I wish it would go even faster, just to get us out of school and into an actual career. This month has felt so crazy! I had something going on every weekend and it has just flown by! Most memorable moments...<br />1. Mallory turned 8! She was baptized on Saturday Feb. 20th. It was great! We were the only one in our ward with a baptizm, so it was her own private, special day. Tha was really nice. It was a really rainy day too, and of course we were running late! But we got there, and everything worked out just fine! She said she really felt the spirit when Neil gave her the gift of the Holy Ghost, and she felt like she was going to cry. How sweet! She said it was the best day of her life!<br />2. Since she turned 8 Mallory was allowed to have a slumber party! Only 2 of the girls were able to spend the night, but that was fine with me! She had 3 girls over for a pajama making party and a movie. They had a lot of fun and it was one more milestone that we crossed!<br />3. Well obviously I hit 30! It's okay, no melt down or anything! It was actually a really good day! Neil surprised me with a gift the night before, a jacket. He said he was sick of me having to wear his ugly one all the time. That was thoughtful. Then on my birthday as I was getting ready to go, I noticed another package at the end of my bed.... I was so surprised! 2 presents! It was a bottle of perfume. One that I really liked and have wanted for while too! DNKY's "Fresh Apple Blossom." I was really excied about taht! I didn't even tell him to get me it! Then... I got into the car to head to my acupuncture appointent and there was another gift on the steering wheel! It was Lady Antebella's CD. Gotta love 3 gifts in one birthday! I haven't had so much in such a long time! It was so exciting and made me feel so special too! I also got a good hair straightner (which is what I told him to get me), so I figured tht is what I was getting, he let me open that one a week ago since I really wanted it! Do I have a great guy or what? Yeah, I do!<br /><br />So that's my month. It feels like it's been non-stop, but I suppose it's all been good!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-77449316356923078202010-01-25T08:49:00.000-08:002010-01-25T09:48:40.150-08:00So 3 months is a long time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhpEgb7F-KZGFhLd5PT0OOKR_8qEZ38UmGl6EKAekVcH03vG2qBIG215V5RiqDd1zHNvpc9pl8-08NgjK4VGxo8LchE6YkjUw8EKjVV2EqtDlM3JOFu425enlmfb_CDskCiUFIQruUKz7/s1600-h/CIMG2318.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhpEgb7F-KZGFhLd5PT0OOKR_8qEZ38UmGl6EKAekVcH03vG2qBIG215V5RiqDd1zHNvpc9pl8-08NgjK4VGxo8LchE6YkjUw8EKjVV2EqtDlM3JOFu425enlmfb_CDskCiUFIQruUKz7/s400/CIMG2318.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430723168696192258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69p1wl8aBexSm4cSCA2xJ_8O2oqPhLocNdHPQ2I3tJs-U-Li76vbcW2Kgpllk8wVLRqLOQdWvgzp8PMz4pukuOIXPsswgKEvXSjFja5O_EbFOuLiyuc5Pr0SW_HjIdqR69MOcibny-2kf/s1600-h/CIMG2326.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69p1wl8aBexSm4cSCA2xJ_8O2oqPhLocNdHPQ2I3tJs-U-Li76vbcW2Kgpllk8wVLRqLOQdWvgzp8PMz4pukuOIXPsswgKEvXSjFja5O_EbFOuLiyuc5Pr0SW_HjIdqR69MOcibny-2kf/s400/CIMG2326.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430723157473154850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5j-wI9dNaUZejCX_cU7qEVv4rXzzvYnrOu4ut48mqcpwb96AOf27Ea3-rkAlFpaKhrQObhQBqbQKSwuqidb7NxdvUVptuizi3sYvWi7eNbGP5NyT-zrj-MZGhP_k17SK11_tnNfMhNMD9/s1600-h/CIMG2288.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5j-wI9dNaUZejCX_cU7qEVv4rXzzvYnrOu4ut48mqcpwb96AOf27Ea3-rkAlFpaKhrQObhQBqbQKSwuqidb7NxdvUVptuizi3sYvWi7eNbGP5NyT-zrj-MZGhP_k17SK11_tnNfMhNMD9/s400/CIMG2288.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430723153424165762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5DQM3VzPAhxGq0pd-xD6ILk6tbQNdf9JcwpmTEaUVBklcvQ3KMhkH3qdsf_i1kq_d4pB4RjHK9DnrcsQkamKDQ62M6DiIYDQChJojK-ZQrAWCvNIrnGhnFTt07yi3Rs9NaJG7PJDJja66/s1600-h/CIMG2276.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5DQM3VzPAhxGq0pd-xD6ILk6tbQNdf9JcwpmTEaUVBklcvQ3KMhkH3qdsf_i1kq_d4pB4RjHK9DnrcsQkamKDQ62M6DiIYDQChJojK-ZQrAWCvNIrnGhnFTt07yi3Rs9NaJG7PJDJja66/s400/CIMG2276.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430723147053836866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU82cg85-VcT9elKcm58ii0uxIDn4CHmwCogDle7OdW9EkAUAiJTr-Ami0TRoHZZA8b_NJxfL1JzS9rcX_u0HJKCEh_4kCoLlu0P4NUDrpj0EjhzmRYQ07wRydCP4rCd6h90ahIxzXGqTy/s1600-h/CIMG2218.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU82cg85-VcT9elKcm58ii0uxIDn4CHmwCogDle7OdW9EkAUAiJTr-Ami0TRoHZZA8b_NJxfL1JzS9rcX_u0HJKCEh_4kCoLlu0P4NUDrpj0EjhzmRYQ07wRydCP4rCd6h90ahIxzXGqTy/s400/CIMG2218.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430723142539104482" /></a><br />I guess it's now been about 3 1/2 months since the last time I posted. So update on what's going on with the family.....<br /> Tate is almost 7 months, and he's still so much fun. Travis is 3 now. He is pretty dang funny too! He loves talking to Tate and telling him how cute he is. He's just funny to listen to. Garrett hates school. That makes life so much fun! Mallory loves school but hates homework, thats fun too! Other than that the kids are fun and happy. We had a great Christmas and the kids are really looking forward to Valentines's Day! Neil just started bak at school last week. We're hoping for a less crazy scedule. We'll see what happens though. I'm at home still, I've lost 47 lbs. since having Tate. I'm pretty dang happy about that! I am back at my prepregnancy weight, but I'm still trying for more. I have started doing yoga for my back and rib problems, and I'm finding that I really like some of the different styles. I guess thats about it. Nothing too exciting we're just pluggin' along as usual.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-80127881670555845342009-09-27T21:50:00.000-07:002009-09-27T21:55:21.914-07:00Tate is 3 months old!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXORdiJtzv24RHTdQV5EYIu5L_p3689yYe11Q3416cOvXB1uFPJXgumlvd_zJf8ErH8xtbUFJkUn0t4JTtkRviVnXJS_HBkvqnby2sx8tBakvGaQ-sezPhM91EV-pSuOieKUhYw_obEqoy/s1600-h/CIMG1741.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXORdiJtzv24RHTdQV5EYIu5L_p3689yYe11Q3416cOvXB1uFPJXgumlvd_zJf8ErH8xtbUFJkUn0t4JTtkRviVnXJS_HBkvqnby2sx8tBakvGaQ-sezPhM91EV-pSuOieKUhYw_obEqoy/s400/CIMG1741.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386376958803414354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEvQc2sSU9flczS0G2zFdr98CBPyVvCxT3tykP3FrLy4cHXKtxnjWjZDl-67ud4JhDiVFb4aIH6kVciSRx0sdziUxgKnO-fHYgNwAqY4Rwc-uqzLoZdx2qI5kWwhCzgnJlIF1dS4ckErc/s1600-h/CIMG1738.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEvQc2sSU9flczS0G2zFdr98CBPyVvCxT3tykP3FrLy4cHXKtxnjWjZDl-67ud4JhDiVFb4aIH6kVciSRx0sdziUxgKnO-fHYgNwAqY4Rwc-uqzLoZdx2qI5kWwhCzgnJlIF1dS4ckErc/s400/CIMG1738.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386376946406816722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Dvou0bSu1QgK2A77wFoqmZ5255Uf8giwEeXZZra5StsjUSPuo87Zr1tcjcH7AseNc65lEXhsIO9DgqKNBNzP2fIOlh-lez4fykt18j339bzoWUpthA9en1BIfPo8ueyWqLguh5iLER10/s1600-h/CIMG1736.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Dvou0bSu1QgK2A77wFoqmZ5255Uf8giwEeXZZra5StsjUSPuo87Zr1tcjcH7AseNc65lEXhsIO9DgqKNBNzP2fIOlh-lez4fykt18j339bzoWUpthA9en1BIfPo8ueyWqLguh5iLER10/s400/CIMG1736.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386376936542024786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXRSLsuoin9obdJJ0FYQQZAbwRJDngs-nzfW_uLZMZEWm7O9K-FEsteeqIaMNOOd0gCYYG_3YmXIERzv-w5HcNu-A7sK3lzfsaQ2bA0Bng8ONAlb5ktHNiLQddWZiwaf9raLFL_XXA8Dz3/s1600-h/CIMG1735.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXRSLsuoin9obdJJ0FYQQZAbwRJDngs-nzfW_uLZMZEWm7O9K-FEsteeqIaMNOOd0gCYYG_3YmXIERzv-w5HcNu-A7sK3lzfsaQ2bA0Bng8ONAlb5ktHNiLQddWZiwaf9raLFL_XXA8Dz3/s400/CIMG1735.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386376930629276210" border="0" /></a><br />Wow!

I dn't know what has happened to me, I think having kids is sucking the brain cells out of me, but I seriously cannot think of good meals anymore! I try to figure out what to make for dinner and my mind is a blank! All I can see is chicken... but chicken what? Please send me your favorite recipes!! Quick and healthy is best, but anything will do. Just help me!!!! You can email them to me, or leave them in a comment, either one is fine.

Our family one is koellefamily.shutterfly.com, I'm working on it so it only has a few pictures so far, but if you want to see more pictures of Tate I started a baby one for him first, which I'll probably delete now with the fam one, but that site is babyjustintate.shutterfly.com. I think I can use these sites just like a blog so if I can actually figure out how to do that I'll probably start using just that site instead of both.

We had 2 names, Justin Heath and Ryan Tate/Tate ryan that we couldn't decide between so to make life easier we decided just to combine the 2 so he had a name other than "boy" and then we would decide later which to actually call him. Neil came in with Travis the next morning and said "Travis what's the baby's name?" and Travis said, "Tate." It was very cute, and so it was decided, although I was already planning on telling Neil that I wanted Tate too, so it all worked out well.<br />He was born on July 6th at 6:55PM. Almost 7 hours after getting to the hospital. Since I was 8 days overdue and already 4 cm dilated the doctor made an appointment for me to go to the hospital and he would just break my water. He did that at 12:30PM, so I guess it could have been longer than the 5 hours of actual laboring I did. It sure was boring though! It was a pretty great experience in the end though because my doctor was in surgery when the baby was coming and so he called in his back up and they sent down a midwife that works there. She was so great, I will go back for her next time! The baby started coming so fast though when it finally started happening I was so scared. I all of a sudden had a contraction and he was coming, not just oh, it's going to be soon, it was there is a freight train coming out of me and there is no stopping it! My mom ran for the nurses and I just looked at Neil and was ready to tell him to get over there and catch the baby. The nurses came in and said hold it back the midwife should be here any second. I had 3 more contractions before she got there and they were all agonizing because I was literally holding him back! She finally got there, threw on an apron over her clothes and some gloves, still wearing her flip flops and then 10 min. later out came the boy! I actually delivered him lying on my side, and she worked with me so there was no tearing or anything. It was great! You know extremely painful, because we worked him out a little bit more gradual instead of the 3 big pushes and it's out, but all in all it was a wonderful experience and Ramona (the midwife) was so amazing, she made me feel so comfortable and was so supportive. I just can't say how great it was!<br />Okay so I could describe more, but for the sake of writing a novel I'll finish .. he was 8lbs. 2oz. and 21 inches long. He came out all wrapped up in the cord and was surprisingly blue, but he got his color quick and received an APGAR score of 9 both times (not that it's that big of a deal). He kind of looks like he has strawberry blonde hair right now, but we figure it will all fall out and come in blonde too.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-3983761412898827802009-06-25T12:41:00.000-07:002009-06-25T12:54:10.834-07:00Blowout!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9_1U099DLUOsuy5Av2Rz7WG06hSnY4SgZKPKdJZJhJ-M5_CKn0KtHNsP3mfYqDEZ1UwZ7KRLoTZ227j5XfLzPt5Gdanhw5aWAh_ElzzRsUV1TrTAdISIDVIYsp0vP0hOM_16Z0Ki8dTo/s1600-h/CIMG0042.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9_1U099DLUOsuy5Av2Rz7WG06hSnY4SgZKPKdJZJhJ-M5_CKn0KtHNsP3mfYqDEZ1UwZ7KRLoTZ227j5XfLzPt5Gdanhw5aWAh_ElzzRsUV1TrTAdISIDVIYsp0vP0hOM_16Z0Ki8dTo/s400/CIMG0042.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351355500731162322" /></a><br />Crazy thing happened to me on Tuesday... I was travelling along Sossoman to go to my Chiropractor's appointment (which I had just made that day because I couldn't take the pains anymore!) and about a mile and half from there I hear a big BANG! I immediately pull the suburban over because I knew it was the car tire. Yes indeed. There in the back on the passenger side is my nice blown out tire that is only 2 months old! Pretty scary, although it happened so fast all I did was react, and I'm very glad it wasn't one of my front tires, or that it didn't happen earlier in the day when I was on Ironwood or the freeway with Travis in the car too. It just so happens though that it was the one day Neil was not around to help me. His company had sent him to Yucca to set up a weather station, so he was 5 hours away. So being a full blown 39 weeks pregnant it ended up being a really fun day/night. I just wish the fear or suddeness of it would have sent me into labor, but no such luck! It only took about 3 hours to finally get my car back to my parents house and this was after the first spare tire didn't work that Buck put on, and then I finally called Neil's dad, Randy to help me (he's very mechanical too). It was all just crazy and long and hot! This is the completely condenesed version of the story too, the whole thing was a complete nightmare to take care of. I am very grateful for the circumstances under which it happened though. It could have been so much worse and I was so lucky that the kids were all at places they were taken care of.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-83940787293478042862009-05-28T18:25:00.000-07:002009-05-28T18:41:13.016-07:00Sycamore CreekWe finally had another family outing this memorial day weekend. We decided to head on out to Sycamore Creek to just play for a few hours. Neil and I had great hopes of being out on the road by 8AM, but of course we slept in and didn't leave until about 10:30AM. It was a fun journey out there, the first road down Ellsworth we were stopped short by a road block. All roads leading the tthe lake had been shut down becasue of an accident. Neil is getting mad at this point... it's a detour now. So we head out to Power because the road worker said it should be open... nope, onto the freeway that doesn't apparently have exits at Gilbert or Satpely, not until Country Club are we able to exit. Fun, family fun trip! Neil is fuming, he wants to turn around and go home. I sweetly remind him of the conference talk from last session about how we need to keep a sense of humor and laugh when we feel like doing otherwise. I am a very good wife. So finally we hit the real road out there, Bush Highway is also closed of course, but luckily we are able to find a way there anyway. The bumpy road was not so fun for a girl in her 37th week of pregnancy, but we got down to the very small creek finally! Yea!! <br /><br />The kids played. We caught 5 half formed tadpoles that Neil nicely let them bring home. Neil and the kids built a little waterway from the creek to another patch of water. Mommy deciced to sit down in the creek to cool off a little and had to wait for Daddy to help her up, which he took his time to do of course! I must have looked like a black beached whale just sitting there all by myself wating for help getting up. I could have gotten up myself of course, but the creek bed was rocky and it would hurt my knees, so I just waited. So after a long road there, it was worht it. We really did have fun despite the setbacks and we were all really glad we went. I took some cute pictures of the kids with Neil's phone because I didn't bring the actual camera, but we're having trouble downloading them. They were all so excited about their tad poles. trav couldn't stop grinning when I caught his, of course he let it go in the waterway they were building (twice), but then Neil caught him a really big one and we were able to bring it home! So in our fish tank they sit, smelling up my kitchen with the lovely creek water we thought would keep them alive longest. I'm getting rid of them tonight! They will find a nice home in a little canal somewhere out here in QC. So, family fun trips are worth it, despite the setbacks along the way. We're thinking of heading to Roosevelt next weekend... we'll see!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-74072953066339712352009-03-02T14:21:00.000-08:002009-03-02T14:39:42.639-08:00Birthday's Past<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyndSidqjxqUP542bac8olW6lKStggw8-QTbBhA4NuKEOcHz1-3107r_DYyhtsxJxhTv0FhD2S8KtylWaa2uk79E0SYEvXAt66VgC2osopGG3Tt4Lv5R-BI-M1HYZDr_qHl45iOKJEj2J/s1600-h/P2220003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyndSidqjxqUP542bac8olW6lKStggw8-QTbBhA4NuKEOcHz1-3107r_DYyhtsxJxhTv0FhD2S8KtylWaa2uk79E0SYEvXAt66VgC2osopGG3Tt4Lv5R-BI-M1HYZDr_qHl45iOKJEj2J/s400/P2220003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308723764399487186" /></a><br />We've had a few birthdays in the family these past few months and I haven't done much about it.<br /><br />Travis turned 2 on January 14th. I'm so glad little kids don't realize whats going on because I had just sprained my ankle at the time and I wasn't moving much even with the crutches. My mom and dad did bring him over a cake and we sang to him. Sadly I still haven't bought him a present. Good thing he doesn't care!<br /><br />Mally turned 7 on Feb. 18th. It was a Wednesday, so early release and no time to do much before the after school kids got to the house. So I took her out the Monday before on Pres. Day. We decided we are only having birthday parties every other year, so this year I took Mal to the mall and we got her ears pierced. it was really exciting for us! I had told her a couple of years ago that it was up to her to tell me when she was ready to do it and she told me thats what she wanted for her present this year! I remember getting my ears pierced when I was 5 and thats why I don't pirece my baby's ears. it was just a fun experience and I want my girls to be able to have that memory too. She did an awesome job and just flinched on the first ear, but the 2nd was so easy and she did great! As part of her present she got to pick out a few more pairs to have when the first came out. It was pretty exciting! Then on Saturday I let her have the neighbors come over for cake and ice cream. Overall i don't think she even missed having an actual party.<br /><br />Then there's me... I turned 29 on Feb. 24th. We haven't really done anything yet. The weekends are so crazy around here we haven't gotten to it, but Neil did get me some perfume for my birthday. Eventually we'll go out too I think...Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-3996374183584069622009-03-02T14:11:00.000-08:002009-03-02T14:21:36.855-08:00The BEST place for the kids...Notice the progression....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXwj9aYdoRL_3VBfHQsnXMy2_fQyG22_Ny3e9NRqstivX0XUmZ-tIo0sWkZ8ORLNc3ltQiTwJmPm5QG7IGM9vf-h4cT3ZVkyYe7VQuqXu_KTmvNIqpCEKNF0vvEvQV_oCudXe621toYLQ/s1600-h/P2220012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXwj9aYdoRL_3VBfHQsnXMy2_fQyG22_Ny3e9NRqstivX0XUmZ-tIo0sWkZ8ORLNc3ltQiTwJmPm5QG7IGM9vf-h4cT3ZVkyYe7VQuqXu_KTmvNIqpCEKNF0vvEvQV_oCudXe621toYLQ/s400/P2220012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308717963962478962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYD1RnLWDFXZLV2gxhzEQ55KcjX8DDCgx-Ke0Hq-HB1Jv1rJlTPEETnB8fPHpH0qrSXTuXfcPaS3MMFOvNpkhDnuHysBcVjuTWi-oMW9jy4jnZfSFSVAUrRGlaQ-Bw85QIVA8IR8qLP9Mh/s1600-h/P2220019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYD1RnLWDFXZLV2gxhzEQ55KcjX8DDCgx-Ke0Hq-HB1Jv1rJlTPEETnB8fPHpH0qrSXTuXfcPaS3MMFOvNpkhDnuHysBcVjuTWi-oMW9jy4jnZfSFSVAUrRGlaQ-Bw85QIVA8IR8qLP9Mh/s400/P2220019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308717968628123234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZa6Z0tXYEZ6MEd51vU0EEU16gsfGw0qzLnYULH-3I5BKAZ5LUsXe0D8Slj7SCC3jZuxpYJYyuf0Z5eGtGEODRHQ14dYdPd0kYFiGxn3zK9btShRL8faa-25AazWIyJWrIzWjxWPgtHu6G/s1600-h/P2220023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZa6Z0tXYEZ6MEd51vU0EEU16gsfGw0qzLnYULH-3I5BKAZ5LUsXe0D8Slj7SCC3jZuxpYJYyuf0Z5eGtGEODRHQ14dYdPd0kYFiGxn3zK9btShRL8faa-25AazWIyJWrIzWjxWPgtHu6G/s400/P2220023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308717973366134546" /></a><br /><br /><br />The best part was that the dog was on the outside the whole time and people were driving by and I could hear them laughing as they went by.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-29422350624711983272009-03-02T13:51:00.000-08:002009-03-02T14:09:16.285-08:00A tag from awhile ago.Well as most of you have figured out by now, I rarely check or update my blog, which means I rarely check other people's blogs too. I have apparently been tagged by Leslie to list 7 things about myself that people might not know. So sorry Leslie it has taken me so long to check your blog, but I'm gonna do this one just for you!<br /><br />1. I'm VERY opinionated. I keep it hidden pretty well if I don't know people well,but that doesn't mean I don't have fighting words when they say something I don't agree with. People who do know me well... you already know this because we've probably had discussions and maybe have even disagreed!<br /><br />2. I'm scared to garden! I know very weird. I really want to, but I'm afraid I will somehow mess it up and then have wasted money on it. Probably has something to do with being broke.<br /><br />3. I love big trucks/ suv's with meat on their tires, and absolutely despise mimivans. I think they are a disgrace to mankind! I don't care that they have better gas mileage, they still look horrendous! No offense!<br /><br />4. I can't decorate my house. I'm afraid I'll do something and then totally hate it. Stupid because of course I have hardly anything done or up in my house and I absolutely hate that!<br /><br />5. I love the light! If there are blinds closed during the day it drives me crazy and I feel like I'm in a cave. I keep my house lit up at night too until bedtime because I love light and don't like dreary, dark corners.<br /><br />6. I want to be a camping family. We don't have much time available to do things like that with Neil's school schedule, but I am absolutely determined that this be the year we start to be a more adventurous family.<br /><br />7. I love being outside by myself. It doesn't matter if it's day or night just as long as the weather is nice, although I don't mind the rain. It just gives me a chance to breathe and get a grip, especially after a tough day. Just being out there alone is so revitalizing.<br /><br /><br />Okay, I get to tag people now...<br />Jenny<br />Kasey<br />Brenda<br />Maelynn <br />Jill<br /><br />I won't be offended if you don't do it. I probably won't even look for about a month!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-61475744176655312652009-01-26T16:29:00.001-08:002009-01-26T16:33:39.388-08:00koelle expansionI guess it's time to publish the news... number 4 is on it's way and will make an appearance around the end of June. I'm about 18 weeks along right now, and no we don't know what we are having, and no we're not finding out. It's our own Koelle tradition and we LOVE it! I'm secretly (or not so much) hoping for a girl. everyone in our ward has just had boys and we tend to run in cycles so I'm hoping this means I will get a girl! <br /><br />So thats my big news, I'm super busy lately and between the pregnancy, watching kids, homeschooling , and most recently my sprained ankle, blogging just comes last on the list as usual. I hope everyone is well and had a great Christmas!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-23141727720356114882008-11-10T16:02:00.001-08:002008-11-10T16:18:12.620-08:00More of what we've been up to...Last Saturday we participated in the MS Walk down at the Phoenix Zoo. A lady in our ward has MS and so we decided to go do the walk with them. We had a lot of fun. It was a really good experience, one we hope to make a family tradition yearly. For some reason I didn't get very many pictures of Garrett. He was there though, I promise.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpsc2NAqZvXpB8LwtCiDJ7ATvK7XXPt5P6CPTwvXh-esAo_wnUYycaRwWOYhktFk-enmdCnUV_vUPlhS5pyNx82XNf8g5EQiJ9Z9lV2xOq_WucT0W3pWM0LKUyF9SO57tiL3GVuIpognnV/s1600-h/PB090056.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpsc2NAqZvXpB8LwtCiDJ7ATvK7XXPt5P6CPTwvXh-esAo_wnUYycaRwWOYhktFk-enmdCnUV_vUPlhS5pyNx82XNf8g5EQiJ9Z9lV2xOq_WucT0W3pWM0LKUyF9SO57tiL3GVuIpognnV/s400/PB090056.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267185876305018850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdH72aniDy5QAyFq4zIm7JvItR1zmGAU2b8sOiLj_FJqjzMuDiADoUwQSGDHeJorZKgXRbehFqQ7dgXNgQ5t92ZmjFrEiARD_t-nF1UDA6HdSz4m-lO-XPRsjgLwqBjLIgK0FV_9gOzbD/s1600-h/PB090032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdH72aniDy5QAyFq4zIm7JvItR1zmGAU2b8sOiLj_FJqjzMuDiADoUwQSGDHeJorZKgXRbehFqQ7dgXNgQ5t92ZmjFrEiARD_t-nF1UDA6HdSz4m-lO-XPRsjgLwqBjLIgK0FV_9gOzbD/s400/PB090032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267185868356994066" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9vqoHHAv52I1y3HpQTrSSSUtPijgbKRF17wFWumtfFO1qHxeg1Il3W9DsDso7fjjKzCFLQ8ZkIUx3CfW3mPf_CyTYC8Ru9sdOye-fJ4ziSQ6jOw2MoKHpD3XUZOf3ADazZBYzqQQAKWXd/s1600-h/PB090029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9vqoHHAv52I1y3HpQTrSSSUtPijgbKRF17wFWumtfFO1qHxeg1Il3W9DsDso7fjjKzCFLQ8ZkIUx3CfW3mPf_CyTYC8Ru9sdOye-fJ4ziSQ6jOw2MoKHpD3XUZOf3ADazZBYzqQQAKWXd/s400/PB090029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267185860334725490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLK9wNHikxgwnHCfIiYUgjO6DbPrD71SbMCfijXM5FB7h_mRcwNGdrS6nhiW05tIKROOvA4fjl0ADwkdvnLHkc9hDvTsiyEhyphenhyphendD8hy_8I8grOI6OL69MmMO_pYWhWoon1AW408tWuh15CG/s1600-h/PB090020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLK9wNHikxgwnHCfIiYUgjO6DbPrD71SbMCfijXM5FB7h_mRcwNGdrS6nhiW05tIKROOvA4fjl0ADwkdvnLHkc9hDvTsiyEhyphenhyphendD8hy_8I8grOI6OL69MmMO_pYWhWoon1AW408tWuh15CG/s400/PB090020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267185858636894002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHkx_rS3QLwEoZmVmQcXBmeKEGD7YGV3Bp5y76Pz05KflDIOAby9uuHA8zH0LRVyMMaqUYhBhRFMrEjxRv6bXdURb38W3IUIONINrfBZbQ-Oe0IeyHijKadQdiLc8PHS48pO8zyNesigo/s1600-h/PB090001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHkx_rS3QLwEoZmVmQcXBmeKEGD7YGV3Bp5y76Pz05KflDIOAby9uuHA8zH0LRVyMMaqUYhBhRFMrEjxRv6bXdURb38W3IUIONINrfBZbQ-Oe0IeyHijKadQdiLc8PHS48pO8zyNesigo/s400/PB090001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267185839456454290" /></a><br />The Williams Gilbert phoenix Airport, or something like that!

Many people have their facts wrong! many people are taking what they see on the news for fact. This is wrong and DANGEROUS! The media is biased. They are no longer reporting fact, but are following and supporting in the media their own opinions. Make sure you are educating yourselves about the choices. Obama is not going to take our country in the direction we all want and need it to go. Taxes will be raised, our rights infringed upon, government spending raised. He will also support sex education beginning in KINDREGARTEN!! Oh and don't worry, it will be quite descriptive! Your kids will know everything they need to know from age 5 about how to prevent a pregnancy. Is this really what you want? Go research! I admit that John McCain was not my first choice for president, but if deciding between the 2 who has more experience? Who has stood up for the rights of all people? Who will keep our nation safe? Who will support our family values? Obama, doesn't have the experience, but he does has some nice connections to known terrorists, who have actually been mentors to him. Read some of his books, does he really sound like a patriot? Or is he just power hungry and ready to push forward HIS own BELIEFS and the BELIEFS of his AFFILIATES. Do you want to chance it on him. If we do, WE WILL REGRET IT!!!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-12491169881476944132008-09-22T20:29:00.000-07:002008-09-22T20:43:49.680-07:002 Weeks DownYou know, it seems like I just posted on this thing not too long ago, but apparently it has already been almost a month. Life is just crazy around here. i used to have time to read. I would usually go through 2-3 books a week, and I think I've read 1, and a few chapters this whole month!<br /><br />What have I been doing you ask? Homeschooling these kiddos takes a lot of time! Not, in a bad way though. It's really been great these past few weeks doing this. The kids seem happy, Garrett has gone to a b-day party every Saturday for the past month, so he's been busy. Mally actually likes doing math, and reading is really coming along. I'm still accumulating the things/books that I need, so we're not quite where I'm wanting to be, but it all takes money. This is great for our family though! I can't wait to really get good at it! I have to re-educate myself on everything now, and try to get away from the book work and get more into the making learning fun and exploring their curiosity and so learning and retaining. I've been trying to read a great book that is mapping it out, but once again, I'm just swamped. it's not just homeschooling either. I'm watching kids almost every day of the week now, collecting cans, and making salsa to try to earn some money.<br /><br /> Neil is full blown back at school and this year is TOUGH! Try having teachers from different countries with super heavy accents and try learning from them. He's so busy trying to figure out what the heck they are saying he's not learning anything! And to top it off those teachers are his physics and Calc.2 teachers. Doesn't that just sound great? So he's studying most hours that he isn't working or in class.<br /><br />Luckily we're all doing great despite the tough times. The kids are really fun, and I'm really enjoying having them at home. It's hard, I don't ever have time to go grocery shopping, or just be by myself, but I really feel like this is what we are supposed to be doing. I'm so grateful that I have a husband who is fully supportive of this too, it would be so much harder if he wasn't. But like always, Neil is just awesome, he's always been supportive of the things that I really feel strongly about. Well I hope everyone else is doing great. I'm sure no one ever even checks my blog anymore, but if you happen to, please say hi! It's been so long, and I really don't talk to many adults so it's always great to hear from old friends. Some day I'll get around to posting some pictures, I have some really great ones of a very muddy day, and a boy who could fit in a shoe box!

The Indoor Rock Gym! Garrett had a blast and can't wait to go back again. It sounds like he's in line to be a monkey just like his daddy. Reaching heights others only dream about! I think we need to own our own one of these days! Next time the girls are coming too. I'm sure we'll be put to shame, but at lease we'll do it laughing!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-43313574254905454722008-08-26T17:26:00.000-07:002008-08-26T17:40:48.979-07:00I Know I've Been Bad!Okay, so once again it's been awhile since I've posted anything. It's been a bit crazy and I honestly just forget about this thing sometimes! Let's see, well school has been going okay so far, although I'm actually looking into homeschooling the kids soon. I know everyone will think I'm crazy, but I've done a lot of research inot it, I've visited a LDS group meeting, I've checked out curricula, and to be honest, it's something that just keeps popping into my head. I figure if it isn't going away then it might be something that I really need to be doing.<br /><br />Neil started school yesterday and already I can feel the grind. It's single Mom time! Tuesdays and Thursdays are definitely without Daddy and the other days may be soon too if he gets a night job. It's really tough i must say, but man the sooner it's done the better off everything will be right? I just have to continually remind myself of that when I'm ready to go berserk!<br /><br />Softball Season is starting up again soon and I'm really excited about that. i love playing the sports, it makes me feel a little bit like the old Tammie. You know, the girl before being a wife and mother, the one who was actually really good at sports. That seems to have gone away a bit unfortunately!. Not that I don't like the other stuff but sometimes I wonder what happened to the rest of me. So it brings a balance back to my life that I feel I've been missing. I get to play volleyball at our church every Wednesday and Friday too and oh how I absolutely love that! I've only missed once since we've started and it takes a lot to make me miss. I'll have to miss more often with softball starting though since it's on the same nights. Thats okay though. It's a good reason.<br /><br />Well i guess thats it for an update. Not much changes. Maybe someday I'll et around to posting some more pictures. My camera is sucking my batteries dry for some reason so everytime I go to use it, it dies on me. Stinks but whatcha gonna do?Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-77912911602890100762008-07-30T09:44:00.001-07:002008-07-30T09:57:21.086-07:00Just so you know...I got this info off of my sister in laws (Kristen Hon) Blog. Very good information to have! Her daughter has some sensory, developmental issues and they have been able to link some of the characteristics back to the day they had her immunizations. I know many of you probably think it's crazy not to have your child immunized, but I'm a firm believer in not doing it, especially when they are babies. I know of quite a few people who have children that have had reactions to them. The doctors don't give you all the information. You might think they always have your best interest at heart, but honestly do you really think it's for you or the money? Well those might be fighting words. So here's some info for those of you who don't research these things and just follow the doctor's instructions. Also visit kristen's blog, she has some other great information and a speech that you should listen to. She has really done her homework on the vaccines. I'm not trying to cause a fight on here either. It's just information that really is useful. Most people don't think to even look at both sides, the doc says and you do. Read on, you'll find out things that may surprise you!<br /><br />Medical professionals that ensure parents that mercury has been removed from all vaccines are lying. They might tell you that only trace amounts of mercury have been found in a few vaccines. Did you know that those small trace amounts are too toxic for drinking water??<br /><br />Here is a website to go & see what vaccines still have thimerosal (mercury) http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.htm#t3<br /><br />Here is an alternate vaccine schedule... This recommendation was written by Donald Miller, MD who is cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle and one of the members of the Doctors for disasters preparedness. Here is the link to the article that he wrote I hope everyone will read. It is well worth your time. http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/user_friendly.pdf<br /><br /><br />1. No vaccinations until a child is 2 years old<br /><br />2. No vaccines that contain thimersol(mercury)<br /><br />3.No live virus vaccines (except for small pox if it should reoccur)<br /><br />4. These vaccines, to be given one at a time, every 6 months beginning at age 2<br /><br />*Pertussis<br /><br />*Diphtheria<br /><br />*Tetanus<br /><br />*Polio<br /><br />***********************************************************************************<br /><br />Did you Know....<br /><br />* we give the same amount of a vaccine to a newborn that we would give to a full size adult. One size fits all is ridiculous. Why do we have to give different amounts of medicine for different ages but when it comes to vaccines it doesn't matter??????<br /><br />*The Flu vaccines still have a full dose of mercury in it. I find it interesting that Doctors encourage us to get the flu vaccine while we are pregnant but discourage us to eat fish while pregnant to prevent us getting any mercury. Does that make sense???<br /><br />* Children who delay vaccinations by 2 months cut their risk of asthma by ½ according to (Kozyrskyj, University of Manitoba)<br /><br />* What are in the vaccines???(Mercury, Aluminum, viruses, bacteria, formaldehyde, MSG, HCL, Antibiotics, Human, Cow, Chicken, Guinea Pig, Monkey tissue/serum, Yeast, and Egg)<br /><br />* The current schedule requires 36 vaccines by the time a child is 6 and the majority are given to the children by the age of 15 months compared to 1983 when children received 10 vaccines in the same time period.<br /><br />*7 Vaccines injected into a 13lb two month old infant is equivalent to 70 doses in a 130 lb adult.<br /><br />*50 years ago when immunization schedule contained only 4 vaccines, autism was virtually unknown<br /><br />* Type 1 diabetes went from 1 in 7,100 children in the 1950's to now 1 in 480* The CDC has not done any long term studies to see if vaccine schedule is safe<br /><br />* US government has paid out more then $11.5 billion in vaccine injury compensation<br /><br />Here are some tips I found on taca.orgs website. (talk about curing autism)<br />1. Do not vaccinate newborns. When you are ready to vaccinate – check into a slower vaccination schedule that may work for your family, address your concerns, and achieve public health policy slowly.<br /><br />2. Avoid re-immunization with a vaccine after a previous bad reaction.<br /><br />3. NEVER vaccinate ill children or children recovering from an infection.<br /><br />4. Space vaccines - do not give multiple vaccines in 1 day.(THAT INCLUDES single vaccine doses that have multiple viruses! Split them up!)<br /><br />5. Use single-dose vials from which to draw up the vaccines as opposed to multiple-dose vials which provide less uniform dosage.<br /><br />6. Use inactivated polio. (the shot, not the drops)<br /><br />7. Give RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of Vitamin C before and after vaccines<br /><br />8. Give a natural form of Vitamin A ( cod liver oil ) to keep RDA's at level at all times for the age.<br /><br />9. Separate the MMR into 3 doses: start with measles at 12-15 months, then mumps at 18-21 months, rubella at 24-27 months.<br /><br />10. Do not give live virus vaccines to immunodeficient children.<br /><br />11. Do not give vaccines if allergic to any of these components:i. Yeast - Hep B ii. Eggs - MMR iii. Neonycian - MMR or Varicella<br /><br />12. Hold off on the Varicella until 10-12 years and if the child is shown not immunity to Chicken pox.<br /><br />13. Check vaccine titers before giving boosters (Most people are immune after one dose. We continue to get multiple doses that MAY NOT BE NEEDED. Have them check antibody levels via titres blood test.)<br /><br />RECOMMENDED READING:<br /><br />These recommendations are based on great books for all parents/grandparents:<br /><br />• What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinationsby Stephanie Cave, MD (paperback, September 2001)<br /><br />• The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library), by Robert Sears, (paperback, 2007)<br /><br />• Evidence of Harm by David Kirby<br /><br />• Additional reading on this important topic can be located at the Autism Research Institute: www.autism.com/ari.<br />* Another great web site with the latest research papers can be found at http://www.generationrescue.org/<br /><br />*If you read through this whole thing then I applaud you. If you were ever unsure of vaccinations then I hope this cleared the air.

Here is how:<br />1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.<br />2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. It's actually pretty funny to the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-34127850194791821652008-07-30T09:00:00.000-07:002008-07-30T09:28:01.192-07:00San Diego Trip<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_lejjJWC3lpuwQEiFTk6-fbI20Jt50Dvy8_v0Q-GuigPY0HcHv9xWaRnVJmbhKE2p6gpHyHMdqXfLVY2g3xhy0AyqdwVLUWNRGBZDvZ8UKDT_7omyOdkDT2sJQp5b1Ng0Rd-BDSjHev4K/s1600-h/P2120192.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Looking back on it now I think I would skip the whole sea world part and just hang out at the beach. Sea World was fun and the kids really liked the shows, but we had most of our melt downs there, and i prefer not to play the part of crazed parents! The beach on the other hand was almost melt down free. Mallory hardly came out of the ocean the whole time we were there. She loved it, she hung out in the waves even when everyone else was taking a break. Garrett and Travis spent most of their time playing in the sand. Garrett and I started one big sand castle, unfortunately it became a casualty of the sea. Apparently we built it too low and the tide came in quick! He had fun searching for sea shells and Travis really liked chasing the sea gulls. I think if he could talk he would say his favorite part was chasing the birds wherever we went! So next time... California beaches here we come! My parents and sisters came a long too, we're glad they could join us, although it probably wasn't as relaxing as they were hoping for. Mallory really had fun with them at the beach though, jumping through the waves with them.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170448587072309568.post-91584961933674016482008-05-30T17:10:00.000-07:002008-05-30T17:29:29.013-07:00mallory's Dance Recital<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAg-ed9ZmLGBUECLJ7COc5rNsSSvXhhIXjBLKkF61rt9GjE4fvDlMueXznmu6l-0ugMd87yjNMlBXG0AOHQSVRry5RyWuCuleTFpnY-Px-dM2Np34bGJZ6-3lklB11MQ1C_2I4ZXswjvY/s1600-h/P1010200.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAg-ed9ZmLGBUECLJ7COc5rNsSSvXhhIXjBLKkF61rt9GjE4fvDlMueXznmu6l-0ugMd87yjNMlBXG0AOHQSVRry5RyWuCuleTFpnY-Px-dM2Np34bGJZ6-3lklB11MQ1C_2I4ZXswjvY/s400/P1010200.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206332355423844626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCZeu-Rk-jNEFUQKKJ-wtXlmm9e3nBHcNSMJrrX1MbP01VxJY4HgJ6VkdcvGFGS9gDJuCCnhPmhEML0vECES8IXU3Eum_XKYYZQDbTxtB4XABQjIpAJaScahWimASe7CJWHZ36YJB_Lkef/s1600-h/P1010131.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCZeu-Rk-jNEFUQKKJ-wtXlmm9e3nBHcNSMJrrX1MbP01VxJY4HgJ6VkdcvGFGS9gDJuCCnhPmhEML0vECES8IXU3Eum_XKYYZQDbTxtB4XABQjIpAJaScahWimASe7CJWHZ36YJB_Lkef/s400/P1010131.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206328892947491650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXl3i7Q75kuwCIXufjJBOjalyKyko0ayXrdvXCyvV8x8QBfNeu8vYkcW18pxK1EUTsiKjTFXdCVExoUgA5f2SVNw7mWeldE__30BM4tjQ49FF7iQmMDXY0gzEjJi8yHhNL3olaq3J4QnA/s1600-h/P1010193.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXl3i7Q75kuwCIXufjJBOjalyKyko0ayXrdvXCyvV8x8QBfNeu8vYkcW18pxK1EUTsiKjTFXdCVExoUgA5f2SVNw7mWeldE__30BM4tjQ49FF7iQmMDXY0gzEjJi8yHhNL3olaq3J4QnA/s400/P1010193.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206328902959798338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XfBM_-do8YB77oD8Tq6DR9q-L8TO5yEBPVAvNGIKzrLdUcgok7U02e2jf0luLk_1Kp9UswqvmopKZlWtLlONVep4UfsqOrQDV7Cc4M7RsqBgGj80sW11MFbausev3wtjm8y_mmXpO48U/s1600-h/P1010188.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XfBM_-do8YB77oD8Tq6DR9q-L8TO5yEBPVAvNGIKzrLdUcgok7U02e2jf0luLk_1Kp9UswqvmopKZlWtLlONVep4UfsqOrQDV7Cc4M7RsqBgGj80sW11MFbausev3wtjm8y_mmXpO48U/s400/P1010188.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206328912300175762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIX4lZxvVxl97dWx4OH8upT6Ga3cgFCy5gTC4ll9Btk0x-FgynfhctGeWcC8ebq9mCLpF69HjqPNPXT8OXJv_AvdL2_WsnqEVVlapp38zmpJopJ_tIGBH2in_1ghL_WPJKjiX-Vx5x9XG/s1600-h/P1010192.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIX4lZxvVxl97dWx4OH8upT6Ga3cgFCy5gTC4ll9Btk0x-FgynfhctGeWcC8ebq9mCLpF69HjqPNPXT8OXJv_AvdL2_WsnqEVVlapp38zmpJopJ_tIGBH2in_1ghL_WPJKjiX-Vx5x9XG/s400/P1010192.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206328919255228178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgllmhiD-31JLvZk02TKOy1dVctnQhIMfWqiPoVIhl7B7NyzhJXjG3Si7h6BZiXGJFNWXA78nCFD90xDaBP4QlgKmLUdOyzyjibLYfMXqQxjBXz69kPUGqtRhmcowFlKYzhEBwWWH9cJgJE/s1600-h/P1010196.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgllmhiD-31JLvZk02TKOy1dVctnQhIMfWqiPoVIhl7B7NyzhJXjG3Si7h6BZiXGJFNWXA78nCFD90xDaBP4QlgKmLUdOyzyjibLYfMXqQxjBXz69kPUGqtRhmcowFlKYzhEBwWWH9cJgJE/s400/P1010196.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206328930129704930" /></a><br /><br />The 2nd picture is from Mallory's kindergarten program. None of my pictures turned out with her on stage the kids eyes always looked really spooky! The other pictures are from her dance recital in May. It was the best recital I've been to by Joanne Judd. the girls all looked really cute and the dances were cute too! Of course Mallory was the cutest one there I have to say! It was a fun Disney theme and I really enjoyed it!Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07834986457885041936noreply@blogger.com4
