Who Are Those Chicks That Are Rockin' Kicks?



(To the tune of “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus--see real song and video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA)


We hopped off the year 2009
with a new baby on our hips
Welcome to the year of 2010,
Four girls--are we equipped?

Regan jumped in our life,
Here she is for the first time
Looks to her sisters for some sort of sign
This is all so crazy
Everyone seems so familiar

Our Coco Turner is such a great big sis
Her baby status in the family is sometimes missed
But then mommy turns up the youtube video
and a Miley song is on
and a Miley song is on
and a Miley song is on

So we put our hands up,
Regan’s digging this song,
and Coco is dancing away,
Scotlyn’s giggling like yeah
Bryn’s prancing ‘round like yeah,
And we got our hands up,
It's playing our song,
We know we're gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party at the Turner place,
It's a party at the Turner place.

Still in the south with no southern drawl
Everybody'll be lookin at them now
Like “who are those chicks, that are rockin’ kicks?
Are they really from this Nash-town?”

So great with all girls in our home now
We won’t be trying for a boy—that’s a vow
Cause’ we’re real happy with these ones
Too bad Jared will never have sons

Scotlyn is turnin’ eight and getting baptized this year
Too much water and she’s nervous
That's when the Daddy dances to her favorite tune
and a Miley song is on
and a Miley song is on
and a Miley song is on

So we put our hands up,
Regan’s diggin this song,
and Coco is dancing away,
Scotlyn’s giggling like yeah
Bryn’s prancing ‘round like yeah,
And we got our hands up,
He's playing our song,
We know we're gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party at the Turner place,
It's a party at the Turner place.

Bryn’s like growin' up too fast (too fast)
We have a tween and we’re aghast (we’re aghast)
Young Women’s here she comes
Now to make-up, phones, and friends we must succumb

So we put our hands up,
Regan’s diggin our song,
and Coco is dancing away,
Scotlyn’s giggling like yeah
Bryn’s prancing ‘round like yeah,
And we got our hands up,
We’re playing our song,
We know we're gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party at the Turner place,
It's a party at the Turner place.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope it’s full of miracles! Yeah!
Love, The Turners

Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy,

I don't like my carseat. Not one bit. It limits my desires to explore and be cuddled. I seem to always be in it because of the usual daily activities of my sisters. Now that it's Christmas break I hope to see it less often. I would like to stay home and relax, recline in my swing and taste new exotic foods like fruits and veggies. . .maybe ice cream, yes?

Love,
Regan Meabh

#2 & #4


These two were playing together the other day and it was so cute listening to Regan giggle while Scotlyn talked to her. Maybe because Scotlyn looked a little different with her tooth missing! We are trying to get her other one out before Friday so she can sing, "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth!"

Turner Clan, Est. 1997




For years now I've been meaning to make a family stitchery. I had very good intentions and even started it a few times but somehow I never got into it or managed to find time to do it. Well, I am so grateful it didn't work out because I would've had to redo it with the birth of our little Regan 4 months ago. It would have been a large task, indeed. My friend, Jill, gave me the frame about a year and half ago and I couldn't figure out what to do with it until now. Hmmmm...where to hang it...that may take some time.

Memphis

Jared's estrogen gang--all in pink.

Jared ran in the Memphis St. Judes half-marathon on December 5. I didn't get any pictures because it was SOOOO COLD--especially for the great city of Memphis. I was trying to keep Regan warm and safe from the temps (also, I forgot the camera in the van). Luckily, we were able to see the Memphis temple while we were there. It is actually just like the Nashville temple and sits on the lot with the Stake Center as well.

Bama


My friend, Jenn, from high school got married in Alabama on November 20 and we made the 2 hour drive there, stayed for about 3 hours and drove home. It was a whirlwind trip but it was so worth it. I wish I could have gotten pictures of the bride and groom but they were being swarmed by family members. Regan slept through most of it but danced with her sisters later to "Party In the USA" (I can tell she digs it by her huge grin when we all start groovin).
