We Did it!!

It started on Wednesday, we had to go to Target and do a few other errands. I bought Dallen some more panties @ Target, when we were checking out he starting saying that he had to go potty, so we when took off the diaper and haven't looked BACK!! He still wears one at night and during naps but other than that even out we are diaper free!! Well, at least for Dallen, Colten has another 3yrs to go!! Thanks everyone for their encouragement and GREAT ideas!!
I was told probably on Dallen's third B-day he would get it, so today is his third B-day!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!(we'll have pictures to come, from the Hucadonald's)

Cold Turkey?!

Dallen really is trying, to potty train, Sunday was a much better day, we only had to stop once between our house and Grandma's house (we had to go to Doug's work anyway). Then at Grandma's house he didn't have any accidents!! HOORAY!! Today so far GREAT!! I think I need to be brave and just go cold turkey on the diapers!!

Colten trying rice cereal

We thought that it would be fun to try giving Colten rice cereal. He just couldn't figure out his tongue but it is so cute when it is everywhere! (do you like how nice and safe he is on the table, don't try this at home!!) Disclaimer both me and Doug were there! I do just really love the Bumbo!

Uh-Oh

So.... Days four and five were a disaster, I had to leave the house and get a babysitter for Dallen. Oh well! We'll start again tomorrow!

Day 3 No Diapers

Last night was good no accidents except for the #2 in the diaper.(YUCK) I'll be glad when that is over!!! So far today no accidents and he is telling me and going on the big boy potty!! HOORAY FOR DALLEN! I'm still not confident enough to take him any where or let him go any where maybe next week!!
Sorry for everyone that has to read this but this is my scrapbooking!! I have to document it somehow!!
I do have other kids they are great just getting through the last week and a half before break!! SIGH, I'm always glad for break because really it is a break for me too, homework, getting the kids to school and everything else that comes with school!

Fuzzy Wuzzy

I was trying to take pictures of his fuzzy blonde hair!! He is our lightest kid so far!! It will be interesting to see how it grows in!!

Day 2 No Diapers

So........... the rest of the day yesterday was great no accidents, in fact we put him in his jammies for the night and he told us twice that he had to go!!
Today started at 7a.m. we put undies on till it was time to take the girls to school then we put on a diaper over his undies still no pee-pee and no accidents on the way to school!! HOORAY!! We did wind up having an accident at lunch but oh well! At naptime he wouldn't go to sleep until he went potty!! I guess it pays to wait till they are really old!!

No Diapers Today

So, this is the first time I have potty trained a boy and the first time I have had a blog to document eveything (YEAH, for everyone that gets to read it!)! The morning of the first day has gone really well, we have had one accident that's it. The big thing is Dallen is running to the potty by himself!! We have only stopped up the toilet once with too much tiolet paper! It is amazing what a big boy he is!!

Change is coming

So..... today I'm feeling very nervous, change always makes me feel this way! The President was sworn in this morning. It is a historical day, our first black president, I'm excited that our kids can witness this.It will be a very interesting year!
Also this week Dallen has decided that he really wants to potty train!! YEAH,no more two kids in diapers!!
Last week I turned 29, can I say that HATE my birthday! I don't know why but it is always a terrible day! Though I am really excited to be getting older, I remember looking at people my age when I was younger and thinking what will I be doing, how many kids will I have, what will my house look like, will I have a house? I'm glad to say that I have four kids, I like my house and most important I am HAPPY that I think is the greatest feeling that has come with getting older, just being HAPPY!! So I wish all of you a year of good change and a year of happiness.

Colten is 3 months

I know these are out of order but that is the way my life is, just a little askew.
So, Colten did indeed turn 3 months on the 1st.. Here are some highlights, he got to take a nap with Brooke, he is smiling so much (to get it on camera is just asking for too much ok?!),he slept for 10hrs one night (we are waiting for a repeat performance), Dallen hasn't smothered him to death yet and we all just love him so much!!
Oh, did I mention he was FAT?
I don't mean to brag but he is my first baby to actually take regular LONG naps and be some what on a schedule!! (I know Mandy!! hehe)

Brooke's new hair cut

So, Kaly had a test at her beauty school on Sat., and we decided that Brooke would be a good model. She was always bugging me to cut her hair really short. So, Brooke sat there patiently while Kaly cut and the testers marked her off on her wonderful work!! Thanks Kaly!! We love it!! A little out of order but you get the picture!!

Silent Night, Yeah Right

Some of Doug's sisters and brother came over for New Year's. We played the Wii well the truth of the matter the boys played the wii and the girls chatted sand played games!! For dinner we had tri-tip and crab legs, Yummy!! It was fun! After dinner Doug's parents came over with his Grandma she is a riot I think she would stay up all night if she had someone to chat with!! I took some funny pictures of the people that went to sleep and of course video games. I almost forgot that we opened poppers, that was so funny everyone telling cheesy jokes playing with the little toys and putting on the crowns!! Love it ! It was so fun because all the grown-ups were totally playing along and just being silly!
