SAFARI TIA!

Yesterday we took a safari trip to see what kinds of fascinating creatures live in our habitat. Here is Tia with her safari kit: a tape measure, ruler and a magnifying glass. First, we measured Tia so we would know what was bigger and what was smaller than her. It is especially important to know when something is big when you are on safari. Tia is exactly 3ft. tall.

Here is our safari destination. We hoped to see lots of big game and wildlife!

up close 4

First, we spotted a wild mushroom and found that at only 1/2 and inch, it was much smaller than Tia.

Then, we spotted some real wild life!! A garden snail named Peep! Garden snails are sticky and they have long necks. They can be pretty scary when you aren't expecting to find one. Tia wasn't scared at all! Here is Tia trying to coax Peep into a bigger shell. He was happy with his current real estate.

After all of this safari excitement, we decided to go back to camp and have some lunch. Bye Peep!

songs for baby brother

Here are some songs we are listening to with Tia's baby brother~

A song called Morning Sun (by the Plump DJs :)

Daylight burns on my eyes

And I face them on you.

And I bless the morning sun your here with me.

I know today was meant to be.

Summertime was always fine with me

But now your here, its beautiful.

Summertime was always fine with me

But now you're here, it's wonderful.

All night long we had shared each others lives.

Now I see the love light shine and shine in your beautiful eyes.

And I bless the morning sun your here with me.

I know today was meant to be.Summertime was always fine with me

But now your here, its beautiful.

Summertime was always fine with me

But now your here, its wonderful.













And... You are my sunshine. Especially since Tia tells me that she is not my sunshine any time I sing this song.

And lots and lots and LOTS of MIA. Which probably explains the little raised fist in the picture here. Yey!

boys there? how many? boys there?
How many? how many no money boys are crazy

how many boyz are raw

how many no money boyz are rowdy

how many start a war?
(boys ~ MIA)

(Tia's favorite. Makes us wanna shake our booties and makes us think of Auntie in Australia who we miss so much!!)

Pirate skulls and bones,

Sticks and stones and weed and bombs,

Running when we hit 'em,

Lethal poison through their system,
No one on the corner has swagger like us,

Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless,

We pack and deliver like ups trucks,

Already going hard just pumping that gas,
]All i wanna do is (bang bang bang bang!)

And (kkkaaaa ching!)

And take your money
Rollin through the city, old school on them big boys,

12 inch woofers in the trunk making big noise,

Got the big toys(toys), dont make me have to blast,

Let a hundred rounds go, you do a hundred yard dash,

Back up in the hood where the rules dont shift,

And the gangstas talk trills, sippin ???

You can call 5-0 and 5-0 might come,

But by the time that they arrive all that dirt had been done.

Now one things for certain, and two are for sure,

Being poor is a disease, you gotta hustle up a cure,

Start with your head homie then use your hands,

If you try it in reverse, you dont even have a chance.

We worldwide worried with the hunger and the thirst,

From the third world countries to the second and the first,

It sounds like a verse but its more like a plan,

Get your robin hood on, put some pressure on the man tell it!
(Paper Airplanes ~ MIA)

baby bump: more evidence

Here is Hollywood starlet Tia Magnolia fooling around with her mamma in their new LA home. Mamma continues to deny that there is a baby bump, but we think otherwise!

What do you think?

Baby bump or just fat?

Hollywood is getting taken over by babies!!!

Here's Tia Magnolia and her mamma on the way to their new LA home. Is mamma having a new baby or just fat? What do you think?

Some of my favorite things about Tia...

1) When we are leaving out she tells the car "I missed you car!"





And then hugs the car.







2) If T and I get into a heated conversation she says "GUYS! GUYS!







"GUYS, stop!"



3) Her OCD....






















4) Time spent sleeping every day: 14-15 hours

Time spent awake every day: 9-10 hours

Time spent in bathtub every day: 1-2 hours


















5) Says I love you so much and You make me so happy.


Unsolicited.

The Notorious TIA

I sang two songs to you when you were in my tummy:
Say a Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin

Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together Forever that's how it must be.
To live without you would only mean heart break for me.
I run for the bus, dear, while riding I think of us dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time and all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you

and All This Love by DeBarge

...and learned the way of love, my baby
There is so much love inside me
And all that I have I give my all to you
And all this love is waiting for you
And all, all my love is waiting for you
All this love is waiting for you
And baby all, baby all this love is waiting for you
Oh, I love how you make me feel this way
My love is getting stronger every day
And after all I went and put myself through
I found that all I really needed was you
As the sun has its place up in the sky
I love you so dearly















turned out to be true....






But, everybody knows that we listened to a lot of Lil' Kim in the car...



Uhh, who you lovin who you wanna be huggin
Roll with n**** that be thuggin, buggin
In the tunnel in Eso's sippin espresso, Cappuchino wit Nino
On a mission for the lucci creno
I used to wear Moscino, but every b**** got it
Now I rock colorful minks because my pockets stay knotted
Hit hard like sledge-hammers, b*** with that platinum grammer
I am a diamond cluster hustler
Queen b**** supreme b****



Which is the only way to explain this:
