Pitching Fits

Pantera has been pitching quite a few fits lately. I tell Savannah that it is hereditary. One time, Tera was throwing one at my house. It was not up to Ste-Michel standards. I told her to stop, then got on the floor and demonstrated what a fit should look like. Savannah was not pleased.

I have looked for pictures of Savannah having temper tantrums, but to no avail as of this writing. However, I do have some good pics of what appears to be Savannah picking on Meredith.


Meredith hated sailor dresses. It looks like she is ready to throw a fit at the school presentation.

Meredith in scratchy baptismal dress. Savannah looks like she is laughing at her. I believe a fit ensued.

Savannah with juicy cup on carpet. Dad would have thrown the fit if he had seen this.


Savannah did her own hair this day. She would have had a fit had I redone it.


Me getting ready to pitch a fit because I didn't want to get out of the car. Drove poor Mom crazy up to the very end.


I didn't want my picture taken with Mom. Building up to throw a major fit.

When Savannah would have a tantrum, Meredith would dutifully report to us, "Mom, Dad, Savannah is taking one of her fits." So now you all see that Tera comes by it honestly.

Meredith and Zeke

Savannah is doing some photo ops for a new painting she is going to do. This particular one is of her older sister, Meredith, holding Savannah and Jess' baby, Zeke. It looks like Mary and Jesus to me. When Meredith was expecting one of her boys, she happened to be in the Celestial Room in the Temple. Someone told her that she looked like what they envisioned Mary to look like. I really thought that this picture was sweet, and I thought I'd share this.

Samarah's Track Meet

So, there we are at Chili's after Samarah's track meet. She wants chicken wings and orders them. She tells the waitress that she wants the kind with the bone in it so that she can feel like Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty when she eats it. The waitress didn't make a comment, just looked at Samarah in a weird way. Maybe she secretly has "chicken legs" herself and was insulted.

Today Samarah qualified for state in all four of her events. We are very proud of her.

Jake

I love this picture of Jake, and I had to share it. His phone is broken, so he says he is going to use Facebook more often. He got updated weaponry that is really sweet.



This is a picture of what grown men do with their G.I. Joe action figures. I loved this! LOL!


I somehow wrangled a call off for tonight. I hope that I don't have to go in. If they call me in it is time-and-a-half. Last night was really slow. I don't like nights when I am hammered, yet I like to keep busy. Otherwise, I get bored. I did bring my book, "Stiff: The Secret Life of Human Cadavers." I bought Jake the same book, and he is reading it. I tell people that we are reading it together as a mother-son sharing experience. They get this look of repulsion on their faces and turn away. It is great. I love it!

Happy Cinco de Maio

I celebrated the holiday by going in to the dentist and having a temporary crown put in. I broke a weak tooth before we went back east while eating caramel corn. Never hurt though. Now the side of my mouth is numb.

I go back to work tonight and also work tomorrow night.

Hasta la vista!

Pantera & Zeke

Zeke with "Papa w/ba dogs."

I really liked these pictures. Tera is such a character. She always comes up with something new. We call them "Tera Tales." Zeke is such a happy little guy. I am so happy that they are sealed into the family.

Kyle, Coco, and Talmage's Visit

For any of you that don't know them, the first picture is of my FN (Fave Niece)Coco and her son, the ever adorable Talmage.



This is my other FN (Fave Nephew) Kyle (Coco's hubby):


These are pix of Talmage with my cat, Suzu.




Kyle, Coco, and Talmage came over for dinner today. I am always so happy to see them. Talmage loves my cat, Suzu. I am shocked that she doesn't try to scratch him. She doesn't even try to run away. He tries to be gentle with her. If Mark or Alex come into the room she runs and hides. However, I think that Suzu likes Talmage in her own wierd Siamese way.

I always laugh so hard when they come over. I truly love them and enjoy their visits.
