Tietjen's OBSESSIONS.....

Tietjen has had quite a few "obsessions" in his short little life.

age1 - Little Einsteins's & Backyardigans

age 18 months- TRAINS (lasted till 3 1/2 years old)

(this pic was his 2nd birthday)

age 3 1/2 - STAR WARS (lasted until Christmas 2008)



Now he just likes it all and more... not one thing specific. Everyday he plays with something different.




Favorite Shows now include: Scooby Do, Luney Toons, Tom & Jerry, and Transformers.


Favorite Toys include now: Legos and his pirate hat & sword



**We are not getting any "action figures" for his birthday. He is getting a "big" boy bike & helmet.**


I am so glad that he has grown out of his obsessions... makes life less dramatic!!

Tietjen & His Grandparents

Tietjen is born the same month as my mother Jill (March 17th)

We named Tietjen after my maiden name to carry on the name, since I had no brothers.

The name Tietjen comes from Germany & Finland.

it is said "TEE - JEN" with a silent "t" in the middle

Grandpa & Grandma Kidd

Great Grandma Kidd



Great Granpa Thomas
(Tietjen loves that he has the same name as the Train)

Grandma Awusmb, Mema (great grandma thomas) and Nana (great great grandma thomas)
Tietjen's favorite blanket is from Mema and he has to sleep with it "bears side" up!! So he can see them as he falls asleep????


Grandma Awsumb & Grandpa Dennis
(Tietjen calls Grandpa Awsumb by Dennis because he as a TRAIN with the same name and Santa brought it Christmas Morning!!!)


Julie Roberts is not really related, but Jeff always thought of her as a second mom while he was on his mission!! She came to visit shortly after Tietjen was born!!



Tietjen loves ALL of his grandparents... I think most kids are jealous because Tietjen has so many!!! We are grateful for all they do for our family!!

Tietjen is almost 4!!!

In 10 days my little boy will be 4 years old!! I can hardly believe it!! So for the next few days, I will show pictures of Tietjen!!!

I spent 4 hours pushing this little boy out..... he has such a big head, the doctor used the vaccum thing and the prong things... nothing seemed to work. Finally she cut me and he finally came!!! I was so tired after having him.... I remember falling asleep when Guy & Erin came to visit (sorry).
We had to stay a few extra days because they thought he might have an infection, which he had an IV in his head the whole time... I hated it!!

Tietjen was born the day, Colleen was giving me a Baby Shower... so they had it with out us, but she came and took pictures to show everyone!!!

I love you my little silly BOY!!
