Phone Number

Jodie: "TJei hang up the phone."

TJei: "I need to call SRP, do you have the phone number?"

Jodie: "What do you need to call SRP for?" (Grandpa was at work, maybe to talk with him?)

TJei: "I need a job. I want to work at SRP."

:)

She Won!

What a surprise when TJei's name was called during the raffle! We didn't even hear it, Bishop Jackson came over and told us they had called her name. :)  I'm so glad we were at the skatepark grand opening. It was fun, too.

She hugged onto that board all afternoon. :)

Park Pics

Gal Pals

TJei has really been missing her school friends now that it is summer and she isn't seeing them on a regular basis. This morning Naylene was able to sign-up for swim classes so they were able to spend time together even though their classes are at different times. They had so much fun together! :)

TJei's forehead has a couple large bruises after spending time with Karen P's family. Her little boy, Owen, whacked her upside the head with a stick. :(

Getting Ready

Cowgirl Chores

TJei is getting to be so grown up! She loves to hop out of the truck and play the role of cowgirl when we drive out to Barbara's. The gate has to be unlocked and opened and TJei's just the gal!

One time recently, she even climbed atop the gate and just gazed out across the land stretched before her. It was so cute!

Even with flip-flops, she doesn't mind doing gate duty. :)

In Your Face

TJei and Mia were looking through some pictures I'd left laying on the scanner. Suddenly, the two of them are arguing...loudly.

M: "Dat's Unco Jacob"

T: "That's Grandpa!"

M: "Dat's Unco Jacob!"

T: "Mommy, who is that? That's Grandpa, isn't it?"

M: "Dat's Unco Jacob!!!"

J (laughing at T): "That's Uncle Jacob."

M: "See, dat's Unco Jacob!"

T: "What? Let me see that. Grandma, who is in this picture? That's Grandpa, huh?"

G: "Yes, TJei, that's Grandpa."

J (grabbing picture): "What? Is that really? That looks like Jacob. Oh, it is Grandpa."

T (shuffling around and stirring her hands): "Uh, huh. In your face. That's Grandpa. Uh huh"
