A New Addition...


Jace has adopted a new memeber into our family, and her name is....TIGRESS. Tigress is Jace's new imaginary friend. He has had many in the past: Optimus Prime, Luke, Makala (from Transformers), and many more. However, I don't think we've had one of his friends be part of our family quite like this. Tigress attends swimming lessons with Jace (not just attends but she too has her own swimming lesson), she went to the dentist and the eye doctor, she always rides in the car with us, and so much more. The other day at the eye doctor Jace had his eyes checked first then went out into the waiting area. When he was leaving the exam room he told me that Tigress was going to get her eyes checked too, but after me. I finished my appt. and as we were just about to leave he had to ask me, "Mom, did Tigress have her eyes checked?" She sleeps with him at every nap and bedtime and I have to be careful not to lay on her when I snuggle Jace. She does EVERYTHING with him. He tells everyone about her and I think sometimes they think he is crazy. Today at haircuts, I was sitting in the waiting area and I could hear him telling the lady cutting his hair all about Tigress. When it was Cole's turn she had to ask me what the heck Jace was talking about. The kid is hilarious and has an imagination like none other. He is always surprising us with the things he comes up with.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, Jace and Tigress had a baby and her name is "Fame."

He is funny! Brian must have been quite the child because I don't remember you being like that. I just remember you crying/screaming out the windows at us!

Maybe I'm wrong, I remember someone always getting mad and having a huge tantrum and screaming at the rest of us playing outside. Now I'm confused. I'll ask Rissa.

Oh my goodness...Tigress huh!! I must say that I am a little nervous about "Fame" Yikes. Is he a good daddy? That kid is out of this world. I miss you guys. Hope to see you in a day or two.

That's awesome - Brooklin is totally into Kung Fu Panda right now but we don't have an imaginary friend!

I can't really stop laughing at this. It reminds me of something Evan would do. Jace is full of surprising things, and I love reading the new things that happen every week. Fame?? Wow....he is creative!

Woah. I think it has to do with being the oldest. When I was little, I'll admit, I too had a few imaginary friends. I remember that I named them (Candygum and Silver) I married one, became a school teacher... and then the one I didn't marry got jealous and killed my husband or maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, that was that. I never had an imaginary friend again!

(I was gonna tell you ... you should be worried. But hey! I think I turned out ok!)

Did they have a boy or a girl?

Hey Ashlee. Are you guys living in Eagle Mountain now?

Ashlee my friend did one of those polaroid slides. I just grabbed the link from hers. Here it is http://i307.photobucket.com/slideshows I think you can do a couple of different slides on it. As far as making a collage...you you can do Picasa...just google it and it will give you a free download...the only thing is that sometimes it cuts off the pictures. I'm sure you could google blog collage and see what it comes up with, but the only one I've ever done is from Picasa. Rock You has some fun things too. Kristin has some slides of RockYou on hers you could link from, but it only does slide shows I think. Sorry I'm not much help. Hopefully the Polaroid thing works. If not go to Steven & Nikki Luthi on my blog and you can link directly from hers. It's back in June I think.

I love your new addition Tigress. Jace cracks me up! "Just keep it in your heart..." My Mom and I were laughing at that one so hard!
