I stole Nen's bite
I don’t know if I have ever done this before, need was digging through the brownies for a peanut butter bite, but when she found one I grabbed it out of her hand and ate it. She was so shocked because I have always pretended to do it but I never actually have. I saw Nen’s face had such a look of disbelief after 5 years of just pretending, I just couldn’t stop laughing. Nen tried...

Daddies may have their 15 minutes of fame, but...
So since we got the house under contract two sell in two weeks, i have been madly searching for apartments (without much luck). It was about 12:30, nearly time for Rilyn’s nap, and there was another one i was going to go look at. I asked Tom if Ri could take a nap while i went to go look at the apartments. Sweetie heard this and became very sad. “Mommy, I wanna go look at the...
My mother in-law rocks!
Sunday I was over at Grandpa and Grandma Peterson’s house. My new brother in-law, Josh, also has his mom over there. She wanted everyone to come sing around the table. She kept going on about how at her house everyone has to sing. It was really stupid. I wonder if she would think it was cool if I went around telling people they had to play a video game with me because at my house that...
update from nen
So i actually did the 7 day chocolate fast. It was awesome. I never really realized how much extra chocolate I eat until i can’t eat any. I am now trying just having chocolate once a week, so far so good. :) I thought i should mention all of sweetie’s new little friends. She has Rabbit and Kirfaffy, he oldest and favorite imaginary friends. Then there is laughy and donkey. She will...

Busy busy
I got an invite to join google voice, my new phone number 732.is4.tomj. Pretty sweet! It was free too which was da bomb! I started freelancing for a startup called i.TV. They are a fun exciting company to work for. They are totally into cutting edge technology which makes things more interesting. I also created twogger a time tracker to log my hours through a web interface or via twitter. It is...
Nursery
Today was jades baby blessing. On our way to church, sweetie kept saying she wanted to break nursery so she didn’t have to go. We arrived at church, she asked about nursery and I said “well we are going to a brunch after sac. Meeting, so we won’t make it to nursery” to which she happily exclaimed “i don’t have to go to nursery!!! I BROKE NURSERY!!!” she...

day two of chocolate fast
So i decided that i am officially addicted to chocolate. Its terrible, i have to have some at least once a day. So for a week, i am going on a chocolate fast to see if i can do it. I know, Im a glutton for punishment. Today is day two of it and so far so good. The only time i have a hard time is when there is chocolate sitting right there by me. There isn’t much at our house, so its pretty...
Sweetsie
Tom was driving the sweetie to pick up pizza. The were stopped at a really long light. We taught her to say “come on light!” to get the light to change. Well at that light she was trying to say it over and over. When it didn’t seem to work she finally exclaimed “come on light! Dang it! I just changed the batteries this morning!!!” also, we just put our house up for...
Sweetie put herself to sleep explained
So i was downstairs eating a pb&j. Sweetie went upstairs for something or other. Things became really quiet, which anyone with a toddler would know, is not a good sign. I called up to her “sweetie, where are you???” I didn’t hear anything so i got up and walked up the stairs to see what was going on. “Did she get into my makeup? Did she ‘paint’ the walls with diaper rash cream? Did she pour an...
My thoughts on today's code and process
I got done some backend stuff today on rolodex. It is coming along nicely. I am still a little foggy one how contacts in teams match up with the people you follow, it seems to me that they don’t. It also seems to me that users should not be created when added to a group they should just be memberships. When a user joins msgr the system should then go find any memberships that match the new...
Woken up by The Sweetie
We have been leaving The Sweetie’s door open a crack if she agrees to stay in bed. Usually we remember to close the door before we go to bed, but evidently last night we forgot. This morning, I woke up with to very soft “Daddy, Daddy, its time to wake up.” Nen had fallen asleep while nursing Baby Bro, and sweetie had woken up come into our room, gotten up on the bed and woken me...
Work hard to both invest and make money
I am getting paid now for my work on teams now. I deferred payment for about a month in order to support the company. But I quickly realized that wasn’t a good idea for the following reasons: 1. When you don’t have a full time job to bring income you start looking at the project to get money asap instead making a program that is effectively architectured with a clean UI. 2. Since you...
Help me find a word
Rilyn and I were talking, she stopped mid-sentence and said “uh, can you help me find a word?” I listed a few words I thought she might be looking for but she kept saying “no”. Sundenly she remembered the word she was looking for and continued on, it was very cute.
Snack-rement
A couple months ago we were in Sacrement meeting and The Sweetie (Rilyn) asked us when do we get the snack-rement. Lol
Great Grandma Peterson urged me to write down some of those little things that Rylin and Little T (John IV) do.

So nice to be home
It is so nice to see The Sweetie again! We missed her so much. Almost everything we saw or did we would say, “the sweetie would love this” or ” the sweetie would hate this”. We did have tons of fun though, it was my favorite vacation so far! Tom - mobile
