Busy Bees!

Where has April gone! Lets catch you up on what the Tiggas' have been up too! Since March ended you would think that we would have time to relax and maybe even vacation...not a chance! We have been busy getting prepared for next year already! Work Smerk...we need a vacation soon...

Micah has been a busy bee himself. Thank goodness we haven't had any more bad spouts at Daycare, so he is coming home with no battle wounds. It seems as though his personality is coming out more and more. His vocabulary has grown immensely, and he is a parrot...monkey see monkey do! He seems to have a sensitive side that I just tapped into...the other day we were playing ball and he picked up a toy instead of a ball, and threw it at me. I proceeded to pretend to cry to see if he understands what hurting someone is. As I berried my head into the couch he cautiously picked up the toy came over to me and knelt down while putting his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him with a sad face to show him that he hurt mama and he not only gave me the toy (to share) but he gave me a hug and a kiss with an "I am sorry" look on his face...I melted! I am also learning to never underestimate what he can learn. Sometimes I think he is too young for toys or learning something new like words or activities, well he always amazes me with what he knows and what he is learning.

Early April we got a chance to catch a Diamondbacks game in Phoenix. Our friends Brian and Ashley Bardon got the call up this year to play for the St. Louis Cardinals and they played the DBacks, so we of course went to watch him play and hang with Ashley. It was a night game and Micah stayed up the entire game...that went into extra innings! Easter was so much fun this year and Micah had loads if fun searching for eggs with his Elmo basket. We also took another trip to the Tucson Zoo! He loves everything that has to do with animals and cars so we knew he would enjoy this again. We got the chance to feed a giraffe and even though he got scared he had a blast. Since he loves cars Matt bought him a toy car that he can "drive" around in. He loves it so much he will sit in it and read animal books...haha his kinda life!


We are looking forward to a vacation...not sure where or when but we hope one comes soon!!


Later Gaters!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
