OUCH, Thanksgiving

Landen dropped a can on his foot. He cried practically all day and was very whiney. It kept bleeding out too. The nail will probably fall off. Poor thing. I'm sure it hurt.

Poor thing fell asleep with his foot in the air so his foot wouldn't touch anything.


We had a great Thanksgiving at Byron's parents house. Here are a few pics of the kids playing.

I FINALLY DID IT!!!

Well I finally did it. I finally potty trained Sydney. I didn't have to babysit on a Friday a few weeks ago so I took this as an opportunity to do the 3 Day Potty Training program. Of course, she didn't go potty in the toilet all by herself till the end of the third day. She is doing so well. She does have a poopy accident on a very rare occasion. Of course the poopy part took longer than three days, that took like a week. She is so much like her brother. She would just hold it in until she couldn't any more. She has only had two accidents in the middle of the night. I'm so proud of my little baby girl. And I did it before she turned two. Yeah!!!

I just posted 5 new post. So be sure to check them all out. Have fun!!!

Halloween

I decided to let the kids help me carve a pumpkin this year. Ok, I did all the carving but they liked to sit and watch me and play with it. Of course, when I put the candle in it and lit it, Landen was like FIRE! They seemed to enjoy it though.







For Halloween this year Landen was a Fire Fighter and Sydney was an Angel. We went to our ward trunk or treat to eat chili and corn bread Friday night. YUM! Then the kids were able to play a few games, cake walk, and went fishing. Then they went trunk or treating to a few cars. Saturday we went around the block in our neighborhood. I figured that was enough and they didn't need a whole bunch of candy anyways. Then we went back to our house and set up our chairs in the drive way. Landen gave all the trick or treaters candy, and HUGE handfuls of it too. Oh well. It got ride of a lot of our candy. However, by then most of the treaters were older. But Landen had almost more fun passing out the candy than he did receiving it door to door. This was my kids first year going trick or treating. Landen's first year we were at Byron's parents and didn't do anything. Last year, Byron's cousin got married on Halloween so we didn't get to go then either. So he sure did have lots of fun this year.

OWY!!

My poor baby girl. We were out on a morning walk and I never buckle my kids into the stroller. They have always stayed in their seats. But she must have leaned over too far and then fell out and I didn't even see it until, bump I ran over her a little bit with the stroller. She landed right on her poor little nose and mouth. That night her lip was so swollen, she could barely close her mouth. I gave her popsicle to eat all day to help the swelling go down, since she wasn't about to hold a bag of ice on her mouth. Byron teased me all week about hurting his beautiful baby girl and hoping it wasn't going to leave a big scar. Now weeks later, she has a tiny red spot on the tip of her nose and between her nose and lip. Byron said I need to put some kind of medicine on it so she won't be called Rudolph. I also noticed she chipped one of her front teeth a tiny bit. My poor baby girl. I do buckle her up now, but she can unbuckle it too.

It really did look a lot worse than the pictures makes it look. And her lip was huge.

SCRUB A DUBB DUBB! TWO MONKEYS IN A TUB!!!

FIRE TRUCK!!!

At the end of last month, the fire department brought their trucks to a shopping center parking lot right near us. Landen LOVES fire trucks. So we had to go. Despite that was SO HOT, we still went. The kids were shy about it, but afterwards Landen talked about it all day. Landen wouldn't go inside the truck unless Byron went with him. They also both got fire truck hats, but they wound't wear them of course. But they had lots of fun and it was fun to see Landen's expression with the big trucks.

I'm once again a little behind in my postings.

At Grandad and Grandma Singleton's. Going down the slide. Wee!!!

Landen climbing the stairs to go down the slide.
I made this baby quilt. I told my neighbor I would give it to her when I finished it. Five months later she finally got it all finished.

Oh Man! I'm so not ready for this, but she seems to be. I'll have to start soon I guess.
