Is there a manual??

Seriously I don't know what the heck I am doing as far as potty training goes. It is ridiculous that Kylee is still not potty trained. It is obviously my fault but seriously this is my 4Th attempt. I am determined to succeed this time. Day one was good with only 1 1/2 accidents. Today was awful. She went in the potty once. She told me she was tired and so I told her if she wanted to lay down she needed to go potty so she wouldn't wet her bed while she slept. Well after 5 minutes of no noise in the bathroom this is what I found. She was asleep... snoring and everything. How is it she wont go potty on the potty but she will fall asleep?? Something isn't right about that. At least I got a real good laugh and a fond memory of potty training.


Here is a little video of Payton hanging out waiting and playing while Kylee is crazy on the potty. I am glad someone is having fun with this whole experience.

We have started potty training!!

We've had a break through!

One of Payton's bottom teeth officially broke through her gums and the one beside it is not too far behind. This is the best pic I could get of it. You have to click on it and zoom to see somewhat of the tooth. She wont let me touch her mouth so this is as good as it gets. I really hope she didn't get used to being crabby cause I miss my happy girl. Here is another pic of her rocking on her knees. She now goes into sitting position from this position.

Poll on the right... I am curious!

7 MONTHS!!

Payton Ann

Payton is getting big so fast! She is such a good baby. She started has started getting on her knees and rocking a little. Her daddy likes to work with her on this kind of stuff and I avoid it so she doesn't get mobile. I like to sit her down and not have to worry about what she could get into. It is good someone works with her otherwise she would still not be rolling over or sitting up. I love having a baby and with how fast time is flying she wont be one much longer. She is going to be saying "no, i do it by myself " sooner than I would like. I go back and forth this past week or so on whether or not she is getting her bottom teeth. She is getting them and she is crabby. Both bottom ones are coming in together. I hope she gets them fast so she will be my happy little baby again. She loves eating and I have been sharing more of my food with her lately. Just breads and drinks and Icee's and stuff like that. She loves it. We love her so much!

Pulling my weight

So as you all know Mike always works hard on our house. I try to decorate but I am not that good. I am proud of my picture wall... he could have hung it better but what are you going to do. The new thing I try to do to help is planting in the yard. Here are some of the flowers I planted in the yard a couple weeks ago and the potted flowers I did yesterday.

Can you believe people say that Arizona is all rock? I say nay! You just have to look closely!

And last but not least.... My picture wall.

My Trip!

So I was in California this past week and a couple days and I have nothing exciting to post. I had a good time with my family but nothing you guys would care to read about. However while I was gone my sweet husband fixed up our laundry room for my Mothers Day gift. He is amazing... Just look...

Before

After

Isn't he so amazing!!! I love it !! Maybe I should go out of town more often! J/k. Hope everyone had a good Mother's day too!!

Kids!!

So the other day Kylee and I went with Grandpapa to Home Depot. Kylee got in her car seat which is right behind the passenger seat. Then Grandpapa got in and she says " Grandpapa what did you do to your hair??" She said it with genuine concern. I guess she saw his balding spot and thought he did it to himself. She said," Papa why you pull your hair out?" I Thought it was funny... hopefully some of you do.

P.S. The picture above is not my dad cause he would disown me if I did that. This is just the closest I found to what Kylee saw.

My heart races, how about yours?

Seriously.... I can not wait. I am very excited. Even though this is not the Edward in my head when I read the books he still makes my heart pound!

Six Month Check Up

Payton had her check up and she did really well... only because there were no shots! We postponed her shots to next visit. She is such a happy girl. She showed the Dr. all her tricks... she sat up, stood up with help, touched her toes then stood back up, she pushed her self up real high while on her tummy, she yelled a little, and laughed at her sister jumping around. She is 28 inches, over 95th percentile, 16.5 lbs, 50th percentile, and her head is in the 75th percentile. She is tall. She is doing real well. She has been trying to get her bottom left tooth but it is taking forever. I can see the white spots of the tooth and feel a big bump but the tooth just wont come through. She is a little crabby about it but she is sleeping even more so I don't know which is better, that or a little less sleep and happy baby. Either way we love her and are lucky to have her sweet little spirit in our home.
