A lot has gone on in the last 5 months. Is any of it interesting? Probably not. But life isn't always interesting in this house.
Tanner is 22 months old. (yes, I count in months until 2 because between 1 and 2 years a lot changes!) He has his favorite blankey that his Great Grandma made for him (identical to his sister's, different colors though) and his dalmatian whom he calls doggy. When he wants them he says it in three's (doggy blankey doggy OR blankey doggy blankey.) Silly. He refuses to get rid of the binkie. I've been trying with no luck.He has been a late teether so the bink brings him relief by chewing on them. Oh well. I will keep trying! :) He is not interested in the potty. Occasionally he says "potty mom!" and insists on sitting, pees and then he's done for a few weeks with that. He has an amazing vocabulary for his age (compared to his sister, anyway.) He talks A LOT. He repeats everything and is putting more and more words together each day. My favorite is when I ask him if he's a big boy, he says "NO! I'm a Tanner!" He loves robots, Mickey Mouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and books. He could read books for days and not get bored. He throws a football better than his 4 year old sister. He likes to roughhouse with his dad. He is not scared of anything. He loves to swim, jump in from the side and go completely under the water, but don't wash his hair, if water gets in his face in the tub the world ends. Serious.
Kenzie is 4 and a half (she won't let you forget the 1/2) and a little shit. She is the sweetest, most well-behaved child one minute and a complete and utter terror the next. Is it considered bad parenting when you can't wait for your child to go to school and have someone else deal with them?!? If so, I happily oblige to the title. She wears me out. Nothing has changed much since I last wrote, except she knows better now when she does things and is better at trying to hide her naughtiness, but I always figure it out.

Michigan. We took a small vacation to Michigan 2 weeks ago for my cousin's wedding. It was a much needed get away from Vegas but not much of a vacay for me. I still had 2 kids to deal with in a time zone 3 hours ahead of ours. I got less sleep there than I ever have at home. We're still working out the sleeping kinks since we've only been home since Saturday night and with the effects of our plane being delayed 2 hours because of the insane Thunderstorms that decided to show up right when we were supposed to leave. I hate flying, even more so with kids. Oi.

Now we are preparing for the heatwave about to hit Vegas...Hello July and 110+ degree weather! We are heading to the lake this weekend in celebration of my sister's 30th birthday and to the Bullring at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Wednesday for the Annual Night of Fire. Yay for Summer time! ;)
