Years ago I would have been a stinky sneaker (literally, many will agree), i was a bit of a army short wearing, soccer playing, guys girl tomboy...I did love life then, but a lil girlieness was missing!  Thanks to a few long lasting girl friends (you know who you are :), I know can be both. So Ash and I decided we wanted to go 4-wheeling...a few minutes into the ride, I looked down and laughed- we were out getting all gritty and dirty, however, still in our cute jeans!  I remember saying, "Ash, we are going to be our future husband's dream girls."  I love to dress up, but would drop that in a sec to go longboarding with Eric.  This is what this shoe encompasses for me...maybe that's why it's name is TAMARA! Seriously! So funny, that I ended up getting 2 pairs of them for my B-day! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638264339839996175-5354074066979959135?l=tamandericbattles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/feeds/5354074066979959135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5638264339839996175&amp;postID=5354074066979959135' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/5354074066979959135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/5354074066979959135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/2010/07/if-i-were-shoe.html' title='...if I were a shoe!'/><author><name>tam &amp;amp;

I had Diesel (my mom's dog) with me just incase baby decided to come on the Provo trail, luckily we made it back safe and sound.  Later that night I went to my mom's ward enrichment pool party and went swimming.  I was just so anxious for her to get her here so I was pretty much willing to do anything to get her here...even get my membranes stripped 4 times and jump on a trampolene!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638264339839996175-180518102759314019?l=tamandericbattles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/feeds/180518102759314019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5638264339839996175&amp;postID=180518102759314019' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/180518102759314019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/180518102759314019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/2009/08/anistyn-paige-battles.html' title='Anistyn Paige Battles'/><author><name>tam &amp;amp; eric battles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14803804550426388662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KS8W-GgCRs8/Sonouf0JfQI/AAAAAAAAAck/bxCPQsiCYdI/s72-c/IMG_2779.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638264339839996175.post-982012747034928883</id><published>2009-08-17T16:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T16:14:53.262-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my bloggin slowness!</title><content type='html'>So I finally found some time to intro baby into the blog world and now I am a lil frusturated cuz this pic is larger than life and i can't figure out how to change it!

 Other than learning a lil extra patience from the waiting, I promise that I will never attempt to predict babies coming early for anyone! From family and friends to the good 'ol docs saying, "oh you look like you could come early, you are moving along great," to "oh I just feel like today is the day!"...here is the prob, I actually believed them, mostly because I wanted her to come early anyways! But, no I promise not to get any expectant mom's hopes up like that, sorry!  The baby will comes when it just puts its lil mind up to it or of course when you get induced!!  So currently on this wednesday afternoon I am waiting for her to come on her own free will and if not, I am being induced tomorrow!! So either way, baby is getting here tomorrow!!

just to be certain; we found out I was pregnant in October.  We announced it to some fam and friends on Halloween night via a hideously constructed costume, however, we just got a new computer so I have no pics to share of it...you will just have to wait :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;     As a lil update on the baby bump that is just barely barely starting to form...I am 16 weeks along and over the last few weeks have started feelin much much better!  For a good while my face found friendship with my work trash can and toilet, as well as some not so lucky places, including the movie theater flower bed...oops!  During those many weeks I lived off of toast, bananas, apple juice and lime chicken cup-o-noodles!  For now it seems that my tummy/baby likes salty more than sugary...which made me real sad during the holidays...no more than a nibble for me :(  But now I am just so grateful to be feelin better...I have now been to the gym twice since i found out i was prego and I am feelin like I can get back to somewhat normal routine...lower weights and less panting at the gym of course.  And I am loving that I am now able to add back in some of the normal foods...had half a hamburger the other night and it was delightful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    Eric and I had my 15 week appt last week to hear baby Battles' heart beat...only prob was that while the doc was checking it I was asking him a question and never got to hear the heartbeat...after the doc answered my question he started putting away his Doppler thing and I was so confused, I thought that he would have made me shut up before he put it away so I could hear the heartbeat...I guessed he assumed I was a good multi-tasker...but I just don't have that completely down yet!  Luckily Eric heard and confirmed that all my feeling sick was not in vain...Baby Battles is strong and breathing!  Of course we will keep you posted on what we will be having...possibly sooner, than later :)  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638264339839996175-4791251399727954443?l=tamandericbattles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/feeds/4791251399727954443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5638264339839996175&amp;postID=4791251399727954443' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/4791251399727954443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/4791251399727954443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/2009/01/baby-battles-to-join-our-new-lil-fam.html' title='Baby Battles to join our new lil fam June 23rd!'/><author><name>tam &amp;amp;

Baby Lahni Kate Smedley came to my sis Shay and her Hubby Matt back in October (these posts are for sure out of order...I am a lil slow, but oh well). Don't laugh, but baby Lahni was named after the lifeguard penquin in the movie "Surf's Up" (you probably only know the movie if you have kiddies :) Shay and Matt where all about the name "Kate," which I absolutely loved...they brought baby "Kate" home from the hospital to then watch "surf's up" with the in-laws that were watching lil Wyatt and all the sudden the penquin "Lahni" popped onto the screen and Shay and Matt looked at each other in an instant and knew that "Kate" was supposed to be "Lahni"...so they up and changed it! Either way I love this new lil bundle of joy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KS8W-GgCRs8/R6quCPsoatI/AAAAAAAAAHU/EbUW1F5GxhI/s1600-h/random+november+2007+011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164131276330396370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KS8W-GgCRs8/R6quCPsoatI/AAAAAAAAAHU/EbUW1F5GxhI/s200/random+november+2007+011.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KS8W-GgCRs8/R6quCfsoauI/AAAAAAAAAHc/tJzjsMC-NLw/s1600-h/random+november+2007+028.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164131280625363682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KS8W-GgCRs8/R6quCfsoauI/AAAAAAAAAHc/tJzjsMC-NLw/s200/random+november+2007+028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#333333;"&gt;Aunt Tam Tam made Lahni's flower head band...kinda taking over her head though!

My freshmen year of high school I had to wear a back brace due to scoliosis...it was horrible, each night i would sleep with a ruler by my side so I could scratch my back...during the school day I only lasted wearing it till third period...overalls and dresses became my wardrobe...and some how I did turn out too wierd or scarred from that fun experience! Or did I?&lt;br /&gt;3. I am a Tom-Boy to the bone...I would rather any day play mud football than shop (unless someone else is paying, of course)&lt;br /&gt;4. I love making things with my hands...books, jewerly, wall hangings, head bands...I have the syndrome of when I see something I like I want to try to make it myself first...I definately got that from my mom.&lt;br /&gt;5.

So these activities can be summed up to the 3 "F's"...Fun, Family and Food! We got married on a beautiful California winter day (so what, it was like 80?! ha) in the Newport Beach Temple. What a special day...never to be forgotten, especially cuz we have a gazillion (yup!) pictures from it!

Eric was working at the check in desk and yup, you know it, i checked him out! I went in for my pre-donating screening and I am sad to say that my iron was too low to donate...so my extra blood was sad not to be shared! However, as I was leaving I saw one of my long lost freshmen buddies, Adam, on a lil gerny donating...and then cupid began his work! Of course Eric just so happened to be Adam's roommate...oh, so BYU typical! And the ironic thing was that a week or so prior, Adam had been telling Eric about me...who knew! However, Eric did not have his work completely cut out for him...he still had to woo me away from the other fella I was dating at the time...which was another one of his buddies! Yep, our world really is that small! It only took a few weeks of Eric plotting and a Pioneer Day tube ride down the Provo River to successfully snatch me up! ...and this is just the beginning of the adventures of Tam &amp;amp; Eric!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5638264339839996175-8379564020057221807?l=tamandericbattles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/feeds/8379564020057221807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5638264339839996175&amp;postID=8379564020057221807' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/8379564020057221807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5638264339839996175/posts/default/8379564020057221807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tamandericbattles.blogspot.com/2007/07/beginnings-of-tam-eric.html' title='...the beginnings of Tam &amp; Eric'/><author><name>tam &amp;amp; eric battles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14803804550426388662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
