Poor Zu zu

2011-02-23T20:39:00.000-08:00

So I am awakened in the middle of the night the other night to Ben holding one of our kids poor Zu zu pet and shouting profanities at it whilst hitting it against our bed post... I honestly didn't even know what to say so I just layed back down and started laughing. Turns out Zu zu was making a little bit too much noise in the middle of the night for Ben's liking so he was going to show that poor little thing who was boss. Our bed post has a couple of marks to show for it too. I think the poor guy needs a vaca.

Pregnant!....yep still pregnant

2010-09-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

So my friends, the reason why I haven't written or done pic's for so long is because, yes it is true, I'm preggers with the third. While we are of Course Very extremely thrilled I also feel like this is the longest sickness that will never end of my life, to put it mildly. I'n not even about to put one of those count down thingys on my blog because every time I look at it I think I will cry. But despite all of that it has been an eventful summer... and we ARE excited for the baby to come!

Mum

2010-06-02T15:41:00.001-07:00

It's hard to put into words or express the immense admiration that I have for my mom. Recently my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer which came as a complete shocker and frankly no one was prepared for. I think it's hard for anyone to ever think that THEIR mom would ever have to endure and sort of hardship. They are your rock and invincible in your eyes. My mom just battled through her surgery like a champ and now, we are playing the waiting game and she will be starting radiation. Her zest for life and her outgoing personality hadn't seemed to tire throughout this process, in fact I think it has only made her stronger, and for this, I love her that much more. She truly astounds me each day...

Our camera has done gone and broked itself and without pic's I'm really not much of a talker but I do have this funny letter from a 3rd grader...

"RETARDED" GRANDPARENTS

Written by a third grader, on what his grandparents do.

After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona . Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles, and wear name tags, because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night - early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and, says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.

Frank and Beans

2010-03-28T08:55:00.001-07:00

Not Even the notorious "Frank and beans" bit on "Something about Mary" could prepare a mom for when your son first gets his 'frank' stuck in the zipper...

I mean, what do you do? If you keep zipping up will it get caught even more? Or if you panic and just sit there with complete and utter horror on your face (which I don't recommend because I did) will he be even more terrified? To answer these questions, yes and yes. These are just things dad's are supposed to handle, thankfully Ben was home because it was the weekend or else I don't think Tate's future wife would like me too much for messin up his junk. Thank heavens for dad's...

In lieu...

2010-03-07T22:06:00.000-08:00

Apparently I was taking a three month hiatus from blogging. But I decided to blog in lieu of that awful trend on Facebook in which people put a celebrity whom they "supposedly" look like in place of their current photo. While on Ben's mission, he got some real winners! I had to share only because they truly look NOTHING like him...

None other than Jerry Seinfeld

Billy Joel from Green day

Ooooo he's a looker, Rob Shneider

And I think this one's my favorite only because he really think he looks like him! hahahahah

He kinda looks like this girl too

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry hun, this is just a test. Just a bunch of sweethearts... Lol!

Christmas of 09'

2009-12-28T22:52:00.001-08:00

For most of you Christmas was probably nice and quiet. Not so for the Teerlinks, when "santa" thinks it would be a good idea for a three year old to have his own set of drums. We were rockin out, nope not the little drmmer boy Tate, this boy can seriously shred. Meanwhile Elle was playing with her Cinderella necklace that her adoring Uncle Devon gave her that is equipped with a button to push where creepy Cinderella says in her phone sex voice " I'm Cinderella". That is not the Cinderella I remember... Anyhow, what a fun time we had with all of our family. We are so blessed to live within literally blocks from them. Hope you have a Happy New year all!

Sooooo lately Tate has had an absolute infatuation with none other than, his weiner. The other day, while pantless on the couch he exclaims "I have a big weiner like dad's, it tickles." Hmmmm, nope not much to say to that.

LET US GIVE thanks

2009-11-20T14:28:00.000-08:00

If you know me, I am certainly not one to write a cheesy blog (on purpose.) However, it being around Thanksgiving and all, I found it appropriate to share something that I heard someone say... Many people are in difficult times right now and feel it hard to express what they are thankful for and one man expressed that he was " thankful for future opportunities." I loved that!!! I have so very many things to be thankful for, the gospel in my life, my health, my beautiful family, a roof over my head, but I am also thankful for future opportunities.

AND

My modern day miracles...

these are my feelings right now (and in no way is this geared towards you)

I hate you, you butt face LOLA

You clean up your own poop (diarrhea)

Well, due to the overload of fun outings and parties we were able to attend leading up to HALLOWEEN we were a little Costumed out by the time the big day came. Taking Buzz and little miss piggy's costume's off can be a pretty grueling task. None the less, we made it and it was Shmantastic

We never would have known some of the things Elser could do had it not been for CANDY

Oh what a nice looking young man...

that is until his split personality comes to play

CREEPY (that's not my kid)

Buzz himself

Truly, The funniest thing I have EVER seen!

The land before time theme song... If we hold on together

2009-09-20T21:54:00.000-07:00

Alright , so when I was little I used to love this song and still do. But I couldn't remember what song it was. Without further adieu The land Before Time, Theme Song By the way do you think that I am living in the past a little??? What now with this post and the last. You may call me Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynomite "If I only caught the ball..."

Taking a stroll down loony lane, what the...

2009-08-17T09:16:00.000-07:00

For some reason I remember "Sam" the old man being a lot less creepy, what happened? Ben had to admit to me that he had a crush on Jodi on Today's Special...hmmmm

I never did like Zoobalie Zoo. Look at these grown men dressed up as who knows what...

But I have to admit I would hands down rather be an adult dressed up as an animal than dressed up as an intestine, Eww I still remember his stretches, and yes, he is still alive. But one question, what was that old lady that did the aerobics after alll of these shows on PBS? It's really stumped me. For anyone that can answer that you get an intestine suit!

Rather Charming...

One of our neighbors who is a talented photographer took some pic's of the kids. I think they're rather chrming

After we got back from the West Coast we thought we'd take it down a notch and have some good home town fun up at gang gang and grandpas cabin. Tate was SO stoked to have caught his first fish but wouldn't DARE to touch it (What a MAN)

Well another fun Easter has passed. Here's a blip of it to share with you all. We had an absolute masterpiece of a dinner at Gang-Gang and grandpas after the Easter bunny was so kind to drop by... Enjoy, you know we did-

MORE POOH

2009-01-29T19:46:00.001-08:00

We just got back from the first of many Disneyland adventures. Ben's Mom and Dad have a place in Newport and are quite the Disney enthusiests. Needless to say they tried to bring me over to the darkside and just might have prevailed. Although Tate loved the buzz ride where he defeated the evil emperor Zurg, the Winnie the Pooh ride was the icing on the cake and repeatedly said " More Pooh." For some reason Pooh wasn't one of the crowded rides there, so we were able to go on it at LEAST 5 or 6 times. Too bad Pooh bear " went to sleep" or I think we would have spent the whole day with Christopher Robin and his gang... anyway thanks Mimi and Papa!

Tate's 2nd birthday

2008-12-17T16:36:00.001-08:00

We had so much fun with our little guy on his birthday, I just hope he had as much fun as we did! He is growing up so quickly, he wanted swords, guns and cars for this birthday . Where last birthday Elmo and Cookie monster were cool, I can't believe he is already over Sesame Street, I was hooked on that for years!

I don't really have time for some cute, witty comments or stories about my hemroids in Hawaii, and no that is not a typo I did write hemroids, what would paradise be without them???

Halloween weekend 08"

2008-11-04T11:06:00.001-08:00

This Halloween was so much fun... Tate was a SCARY shark, Elle was a sweet little pea in a pod, my mom was a psycho sourceress, Tommy our nephew was batman, and Whitney our neice was a princess. When Tate finally understood that he was going to get candy, he was all for it! At nursery the leaders asked everyone what they were going to be for Halloween and when they came around to Tate he told them "Jesus". Well, as you can see he wasn't jesus that would be just wrong???

No we didn't go anywhere out of town per say but I think our minds have been somewhere else lately... not that blogs aren't our #1 priority but having two kiddos is kinda crazy. Anyway, here's some pics of our little ones!

Baby Elle

2008-09-18T22:13:00.001-07:00

We are absolutely delighted to share with everyone our baby girl. The delivery couldn't have gone better with a quick 4-5 pushes. I have to tell ya having a V-back was much easier than having a C-section, especially the recovery. Anyway, we feel so blessed that we have this healthy baby girl home at last. It is such a crazy, beautiful thing to have two kids... I have been so lucky to have my mom and Ben at my side to help me out. Tate is doing awesome with with her and always wants to "hold it" or "touch it".

Tate's Special Day

2008-09-06T16:27:00.001-07:00

I thought that I should let Tate have a special day all to himself before his baby sis comes... So we had cheese pizza with Gang-Gang and Aunt Ashley, then we went to Gateway's Discovery. We wanted to share the fun day we had...

Tater Falls

2008-08-20T12:15:00.000-07:00

I'm really not trying to follow a theme here, but unfortunately this is my latest update, and yes it does have to do with Tate's bodily functions. I truly do not know what the deal is but he thinks that it is such a magic trick to be able to go pee and watch it. The bazaar thing is that is is able to do this so called magic trick whenever he desires, which as you could imagine is no picnic for me. As soon as is diaper is off he is pushing as hard as he can to pee and then he laugh hysterically! Do girls do this too, or is this just a weird guy thing? Any suggestions?

"This Poop Is Bananas"

2008-08-11T20:41:00.000-07:00

I think Gwen Stefani said it best in her song "This sh** is bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s" However I don't think she was talking about her son Kingstons poop... In this case, I am. I was taking a shower with Tate and all of the sudden out of nowhere what do I see but a giant log of poop! I'm talking about grown up size here. So I run to get kleenex to wipe his little bum and pick the little turd up and it just keeps slipping out of my hands. Never the less I got it all cleaned up but for those of you out there that have had similar situations please do tell. And for those soon to be moms dealing with all the poop, it doesn't just entail poopy diapers; I hate to break it to you. I honestly think, the cuter they are the more disgusting and smelly their poop is.

2008-08-05T13:31:00.001-07:00

I don't mean to gross you all out but this could be perhaps the cutest boy you just might ever see...

Honstly I think it's more me than Ben that is doing this. You see, as many of you can relate this is my only form of communication to the "outside world". I'm afraid to admit that I have been spying on all of you bloggers for months now and have just now had the courage to put our lives on display for all of you to spy... I guess it's only fair right?
Here's a quick update as to what we have been up to. First, we got a boxer named Lola who is quite the little charmer if you ask me. Then we had our son Tate in 2006 and honestly have been busy (in a good way) ever since. Now we are in the process of having our second baby cooking, getting all ready to meet the fam. We are having a girl in Sept. but I don't really know how to do those little count down thingies so I'll just let you know when she decides to show her pretty little face. We already have a name picked out but I don't think I trust to disclose that info just yet. As soon as the nursery is all beautified I will post some pics, we're in the process right now. But here is a slideshow that is kindof fun and was super easy to do, let us know what you think!
