Ha Ha! I did it :) 6 posts in June too!


Here is a cute picture of Jamie on his slippy slide. He played with his blast off car tonight with daddy and had lots of fun. Finn was very cranky since it appears he is now getting 2 more teeth up on the top, poor kid! He had 2 teeth forever and now he has a bunch all coming in at once.

Finn's Teeth


Well, Finn's top teeth finally came in last Sunday, the 22nd. They are some big teeth! Very cute :) Now he is working on one on the bottom. Jamie didn't want to be left out, so he told me he had 9 teeth. He counted them himself! (He actually has

16) Jamie also wanted me to type his tongues name, whatever that means! He also said Cats eat those and those and those and those. He is very silly! Like birds eat worms. Birds wear shoes and walk home. Birds walk like and eat worms all over the place. He also wanted me to say Blue and Steve from his Blues Clues show.

Jennies wedding



My little sister got married yesterday! It was quite a day, especially trying to keep a 3 year old and a 1 year old entertained and be matron of honor! But they both did very well (and I think I did as well :)) And Jennie married Ben and gave up the hard to spell name Styffe for the much easier Davis. I still remember when my uncle Glenn asked me if I would hyphenate my name, I replied and be Melissa Styffe-Schweitzer, I don't think so! But I love my new name, I've had it for 4 years now! I better get a move on, since I posted 6 entrys in May and April and only have 4 now for June, and the month is almost gone. Working full time really cuts into my blogging! Jamie was the ring bearer (Finn was supposed to be too, but he decided the kitchen at the church was more interesting than a room full of people) and did very well. Since mommy had the idea to give Uncle Ben a superman sucker and tell Jamie to give Ben the pillow and he will give Jamie the sucker! It worked :) Jamie was told that if he was good for the wedding he would get a blast off car. Which is something he saw on tv that he has wanted for a long time. It is about 30 inches long and you put water in a tank and pump it full of air to create pressure, then you hit a lever to release the car and it "blast's off" getting everying wet. Jamie loves it! The funny thing is that after the rehersal dinner he said "ok, Jennies wedding over, me good, lets go get blast off car!" Then yesterday morning he said "mommy me no want you to get married" all sad. I said "Honey, mommy's not getting married, I'm already married to Daddy, aunt Jennie is getting married!" We went to Ben's house today to watch the newlyweds open presents and Ben's brother Patrick let Jamie see his legos, so Jamie found his new best friend, at one point I went in to check on him and they were shooting a giant nerf gun with suction cup darts at the mirrored closet! Jamie was having the best time! He now wants to show Patrick his blast off car. Jamie told Jennie, "Jennie, you not know about blast off car."! He is so funny!

Finn punishes Jamie


Well, Finn decided he had had enough! Jamie was laying on the ground the other day and Finn comes right up and spanks him! It was so funny, I ran for the camera and told Jamie to lay down again. He thought it was funny and Finn was all for it. They play so good sometimes it is fun to watch...and then other times Jamie knocks him down or kicks him I just don't know how to get across that he is hurting Finn. And if Finn is playing with a toy then suddenly it is the ONLY toy Jamie could possibly play with! We are trying to get Jamie to give Finn a different toy when he takes the one Finn has, but I'm sure that won't work for long. Soon Finn is going to realize, hey I was playing with that! Good thing he is so easy going. Well, except for when you have food! He gets so angry, you wouldn't even know he is the same child! Jamie wanted to tell a funny story too, so I told him I would type it, so here goes: (he is now doing his funny face where he rolls his eyes in the back of his head and flicks his tongue out and waves his fingers...) Birds like to flap their wings. That's what birds do. Birds like to eat worms. Worms like to eat tape. They like to eat diamonds. They have shoes.

Potty Training

Well, I am trying to gently potty train Jamie. He knows how, he just could care less! I made a chart with stickers and he does that every once and a while. We were watching superman and he asked why superman had on underwear and I said because he is a big boy and goes potty in the toilet :) (I saw it as an opportunity!) So we got him some new underwear and on Friday I put it on him in the morning and told him he had to tell us before he went potty. Then I left for work :) When I got home he was in a diaper. Apparently he had used all 5 of the new pairs of underwear and peed on the carpet twice! Then as we are talking about it he wanted to go potty, so I am standing in the door of the bathroom waiting for him and I glance in the bathtub....that looks a lot like poop! I know he didn't do that when I gave him a bath, so I said "Jamie is that poopy in the bathtub?"He said "yeah". Scott's mom asked him "did you go poop in the bathtub?" and he said "yeah". So I asked "today?!" He said "yeah, me go poopy in the bathtub."! They are sure never boring! And Finn is getting his top two front teeth and is very cranky, they have been under the gums ready to pop out for days now poor thing. He is getting increasing mad whenever we are eating, he stands there crying and looking at us until we give him some or he steals it off our plate!

Sea World



We went to Sea World when we were on our vacation, but right when we got back we all got sick, so I've been meaning to post the pictures in a slide show, but haven't had the time, since I went straight into planning Jennie's bridal shower (which went very well :)!) So here are a couple of pictures, and when I get a chance I'll put up the slide show. The boys had very much fun and Jamie still talks about "my friend the killer whale." It was funny the first thing we did was go to the Shamu show, which started 30 minutes from when we sat down and the whold time Jamie said "me not like this show, me not like this show." So we kept telling him to just wait until it started, he would like it. Scott was explaining how the whale would swim in the pool, jump out of the water, wave and say "hiyo Mamie!" Jamie would laugh and say "me not like this show."! Finally it started and he had a blast! He talked about it all day! They have built a new Sesame Street area and even Finn could play in it! They both had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back. Here is a picture we took with Cookie Monster and another of the place where babies and toddlers could play, it was so cool because normally when we go to Disneyland or something Finn is in the stroller the whole day and doesn't have any fun, but here he could get out and play and get tired! And Jamie was just a maniac, stealing the foam things from other kids, knocking people over and stuff! His patented sideways bump where he couldn't possibly have done it on purpose :)
