January Part 2

This is what happens when Tanner is too tired to go out with his friends at night on the weekend. I think we got hit three times that week!

Talon was in a car accident a few weeks ago.  He blacked out while driving and ended up in a palm tree.  No one else was involved, just him and the tree.  Luckily it was in the parking lot to urgent care and he went right there.  Garry and I came and had his car towed and he was in urgent care from 1-8 that day (Saturday).  They did tons of tests and the only thing they could find questionable was low blood sugar.  They were trying to determine if it was a seizure and they couldn't find that it was.  So, bottom line is we still don't know what's wrong with him (he's still seeing dr.'s and the latest is a neurologist to rule out epilepsy).  He was banned from driving for two weeks  (His car still isn't fixed, so that wasn't so bad except us and his roommates had to get him everywhere).  Last Saturday they gave us a green light on the car, so Garry and I went and picked it up (down by the Galleria Mall) and drove home.  On the off ramp at Windmill and 215, the oil pressure light came on and the car died.  So I had to tow Garry back to our house and the fixer people came back last Tuesday and towed the car back to their place, so he's still carless as of today!!

A few weeks ago, we had a bout of cold weather.  So cold in fact, it froze our pool and jacuzzi.  You can see the thin layer of ice on the pool.  Just floating chunks really.

But the jacuzzi was frozen.  I couldn't break the ice with my hand.

Cynjyn threw his large rock on it and it cracked, but still held the rock.

By the time Taz would get home from school every day though, it was mostly melted.

He really wanted to try ice skating on the jacuzzi!

Cynjyn had fun wearing her 1D nails to school, they actually lasted a few days and the $.25 price tag was nice!

Tanner and his friends are helping Cody (second from left) answer yes to the girl who asked him to Sadies.

I ordered some vinyl and Cynjyn put a quote up in her room.  It's from the movie Peter Pan (live action).

She also chalked her hair one evening.  It's hard with dark hair, but I really liked it!

On MLK day, we went to Fiest buffet for lunch.  They have the best Mongolian bar and its fresh and yummy.  I only go there for that!

Tanner got asked to Sadies that night.  About 8:45, the doorbell rang and this bag was on the doorstep.

It was full of balloons that Tanner had to pop and inside each was a puzzle piece.  Taz helped him put it together then he was off to bed.

The clue sent him to Ashley's house.  I went with him to take pictures and for moral support.

Ashley's clue was to go to the daughter of an optometrist and so we were off to Miranda's.

She gave him a pack of toilet paper and a clue to go to the girl that hates getting TP'd.  We went to Madison's house.

She gave him a bottle of cleaner and the clue told him to go to the girl that can never go out becuase she has to clean.  Off to Emily's we went.

She gave him a bottle of tennis balls and told him to go to the girl who always plays tennis.  we ewnt to Katie's.

She met Tanner at the door with a shirt that said "Sadies?".  Tanner gave her a thumbs up and said YES!  Their date will be on the 16th of February.

One night Talon came over for dinner. Cynjyn was in a very giggly mood.  She started laughing at his birthmark in his hair.  She was really laughing hard and Talon thought she was crazy.  Pretty soon, she was on the floor laughing...Talon was seriously thinking she'd lost it.  Then she went to bed.  Talon says he's praying for all boys.  Girls are too crazy!!

Tanner is teaching three piano students.  They come on Thursday.  I had to get a random shot of that!

One day I was at Michaels and saw some cute yarn.  I bought it and whipped myself up a new scarf that afternoon.  I love how it turned out.  It's super long and goes with a lot of outfits.

One Saturday night, Taz got a call from one of his friends.  It was 9:30pm.  He was just about to go to bed.  (He likes to go to bed early and get up early).  She said she was bringing him a treat and could he wait up for her.  I didn't know any of this and he was huffing and puffing and moping around and so I told him to go to bed and he said he couldn't.  He was miserable waiting for the girls to show up.  They finally did about 10:15 and brought him these cute little cups.  He said thanks and shut the door and then immediatly ran off to bed.  The next day he investigated his treat...fruity pebble rice krispy treats on the bottom, white cake with cool whip frosting on the top.  He ended up enjoying it even though he's not a big dessert fan.

Cynjyn can finally change out her earrings.  She only had a couple of pair.  This was a mood mustache earring she wore for her first time.  We went to Claire's and stocked up for her, now she has many more to choose from.

I was feeling bohemian one day and wore my tie die shirt and hat and moccassins.  My kids were mortified.  I didn't care!

And finally, Talon and Cynjyn both ready for the Super bowl.  They got to wear their jersy's to work and school.
