Happy Birthday Cecelia!

Today our sister-in-law, Cecelia, celebrates her 30th birthday. We want to wish her the very best as she begins a new decade. We love you!

WVU Basketball

Today the Tenneys spent the afternoon with our good friends Josh and Anna Robinson at the WVU Coliseum watching the Mountaineers take on the #8 Purdue Boilermakers. It was Morgan and my first game of 2011, and boy was it a good one. Morgan got her first Zul (frozen sweet lemonade) of the new year, and we all got free Gold Rush t-shirts! It was a sloppy game by both teams, with less than 50 points total at the half. But the second half was much better and the Coliseum got L-O-U-D!

I'm pretty sure that is Greg Gumble of CBS Sports down there.

Head coach Bob Huggins, yelling at the refs for yet another horrible call.

The 'Eers were able to come out with a 4 point victory today, and we loved singing Country Roads at the end of the game (a WVU tradition after every home football and basketball win). Next week we'll be back at the Coliseum for the next home game. We can't wait!

Nothing says "a 4 year old girl lives here" like naked Barbies in the bathtub.

Nothing says "I am rushed every morning" like getting to work and discovering you have on one brown boot and one black boot.

Nothing says "I hate reading out loud" like asking your preschooler to get out her story reader and sit next to you for a bed time story.

Nothing says "my husband loves me" like watching him clean up dog vomit just so you won't have to.

Nothing says "I don't know, why don't you tell me what's for dinner?" like an empty oven.

Nothing says "Mommy needs to be alone for one blasted second!" like a locked bathroom door.

Nothing says "I love you" like a strawberry on the cheek.

Nothing says "I'm overwhelmed" like noticing that it is awfully quiet but not going to investigate because you are enjoying the peace.

Nothing says "Mommy body" like a roadmap of stretchmarks on your stomach.

Nothing says "You may think I'm trustworthy in the bathroom, but I'm not" like a counter full of hand soap and a floor full of water.

Nothing says "A four year old girl lives here" like naked Barbies in the bathtub.

Dec 25-31 Review

The last week of 2010 was very busy, but very fun for the Tenney family. I plan to post the recap of each day under the actual day it happened, so you will have to look back into 2010 to see what we did. We had lots of fun and took lots of pictures. So stay tuned and scroll down!

New Year, New Directions

Happy New Year from the Tenneys! I will be the first to admit that I am happy to see 2010 go. It was a tough year, especially the last 5 months. I am excited about the freshness we experience with the first day of a new year. We anticipate a few major life events in 2011 (and no, I am not pregnant :) and more than anything look forward to being more active as a family unit.

I've thought a lot about changes for 2011. I've made pointless resolutions in the past, and the "standard" resolutions of leading a healthier life and losing weight are always on the forefront of my mind so are therefore not resolutions.

In 2011 I will have one challenge for myself....to make time to be creative through Morgan's scrapbook, which is nearly entirely incomplete, and cross stitching. I hope to complete Morgan's first year of life in her scrapbook and create/complete 3 cross stitch projects.

So here's praying that all of you have a blessed 2011. I am happy that you are a part of this blog. It is one creative outlet that I truly enjoy.
