Taysen and Daddy at the Jazz Game!

Taysen was soooooooo excited to go to the Jazz game with his Dad! He got a new jersey and everything, and counted down the days until it was game day! Go Jazz!

"Cat in the Hat"

Here's our little Taysen dressed as "Cat in the Hat" for his Character Day at school............he's such a happy munch!

It's about that time!!!

Just getting excited for the baseball season to start! Rykley plays on an excellerated baseball team ("Power, you know!" - their moto), and their games start soon! He makes me proud. He works extra hard at sports, cause he loves them so much, and wants to be the best. Now his little brother, who naturally can play sports, isn't overly concerned with them right now..............isn't that always the way it goes! I have to admit that hanging out at the ballpark, basketball court, and football field is great. I love being a Mom of 3 boys............a girl would have been great, but I think I'm made for boys more than the ballet (plus I carry enough hormones on my own, another girl in the house may have killed Aaron)! I love you boys!!!

Dropped the load!

So it's been just over a week since we started potty training Brigzen. He was rocking on the whole pee thing, but the poop was leaving room to be desired! Well, last Friday he comes to me saying "I need to poo, I need to poo"! I thought for sure he'd have "already dropped the load" in his pants, but he hadn't. I put him on the toilet and he totally unleashed. Since then he's been accident free in both departments! He makes me so proud. I thought it was going to be completely horrible, but he's proving me wrong! Way to go #1 and #2 in the potty Brigz.......you are a big boy! Now if we can get him to go to Sunbeams we'll totally have it all together (figuratively speaking)!!!

Potty Training - "I FREAKING HATE IT"!

We just started potty training Brigzen yesterday (YIKES), and I'm already thinking that changing a diaper isn't so bad. He has no desire to poop in the potty, and minimal desire to pee. Aaron keeps saying he's done changing diapers cause Brigz is 3 and that is too old to be in diapers, so I took the liberty of inviting him to start the training himself if he thought that were the case! Needless to say Aaron never started the potty training! We are on day 2 still in pull-ups and on Friday he goes to undies (since I'll be off to stay with him when he pees his pants and drops a clod of poop in his underwear.......didn't figure anyone else should have to deal with that)! Anyways, I just wanted to put it in writing that we are potty training and that both Brigzen and his parents are still surviving (STILL is the key word........at any moment it could come to an end for either of us)!!!!

P.S. I'd post of picture of a pull-up or something to go with this topic if I had one, but I don't so no pic! I'll post one of his "accidents" in his undies on Friday though if you're lucky, since I'm sure we'll have plenty of them!!!

Cute Neighbor Christmas Gift Idea!

Our fabulous neighbor gave us this Christmas Gift (says junkfoodstorage.com on it). It's full of candy canes, and has their nutritional value (completely fat free, what a relief) and the date they were canned as well! I thought it was such a cute and creative idea, so I wanted to share it!

Santa April and Santa Taysen!

So me and Taysen did a Santa 5k the day after Thanksgiving. I'd like to say I look fat because of the Santa Suit we (all runners) were required to wear........but I think if I'm being honest it's just because the camera adds 15 lbs - okay fine, it's cause I'm over weight! Anyways, Taysen and I had a blast. He's a great runner, totally keeps up with me, and would leave me in his dust if I'd let him. It was so fun doing that together.........love you Taysen!
