"HUNDRED-AIRES"

A year or so ago, Adam had a salesman come in wanting to place a small, spinnning vending machine in the mail center - Adam agreed to let him. Well, the man never came and serviced it, so you would always seem to get crusty Hot Tamales, and stale peanuts whenever you used it (yuck).

So, the salesman came in a few months ago and Adam asked him if the guy made any money with the machine and the man told him that he actually wanted to get rid of it....Adam, always the entrepeneur, asked how much he wanted for it. Adam ended up buying the machine and came home to tell the kids they were about to start their first business! (cute huh)

Since then, McKenna and Harrison have been keeping candy filled up in the machine (with a HUGE help from Adam) and they get the money from the machine to put in their bank accounts...I am happy to report that we have two "hundredaires" in our family now from this lucrative business!

The kids love it when Adam comes home to show them how much money he pulled out of the machine, and it is a really good idea to help them learn how a business works! I just love my business minded husband!

TYLER AT TWO

Tyler.....

loves his new baby sister, "Baby Addie" as he calls her

loves Buzz Lightyear (Buzz Ight-ear); He runs around the house saying, "To Infinity and Beyond!" He saw this swimsuit and he could not let go of it....and wore it for 2 days straight before I could get it off of him!

loves swimming!! Jumps right on in (thank heavens for life jackets) and when he jumps he yells out, "To infinity and Beyond"!

always want to watch "The Three Little Pigs"...I found the original 1930's version on You Tube...he'll watch it over and over...and sometimes, if I'm lucky, he'll fall asleep watching it!

(still on the Three Little Pigs) saw this guy dressed up for the DARE program "Dr. Slaughters Haunted House" and thought it was the Big Bad Wolf; he wanted to have his picture taken with him (I'm sure the guy was a little annoyed that he wasn't seen as some scary creature, only the Big Bad Wolf)

3 SISTERS

Three sisters - pregnant at the same time and due within 4 weeks of each other:

All three babies arrived happy and healthy!!

MY LITTLE BABIES

Addison's jaundice levels were high enough that she has neede to be on a billiblanket for a few days. I went into my room to check on her and found my two little babies asleep:

I have actually had a hard time calling her Addison - I keep slipping and calling her Tyler because he's been my baby for so long. It's funny how the baby of the family "grows up" when a new baby joins the family!
