Potty, Solids,

So I don't really know how it happened... well kind of... but I am still surprised. Noah is Potty Trained, I think. He hasn't had an accident in like a week. He is such a good boy. But he has been waking up saying he is scared. I think he just needs to pee, because as soon as he goes, and he goes a lot, he can sleep just fine. All it took was one long Saturday forcing him to at least sit on his potty and now he is pretty good, and just before his third birthday too.
I gave Harvey his first solids two days ago. He acted like it was that sickest thing in the world. I don't know why he would be so grossed out by it, he likes his formula and it had formula in it... crazy kid.

Work Work Work

It seems like all Rick does is work. He is out of town again this whole week. He should be home, well not really home but working like normal next week but then gone again the week after that. That is just crummy. Even when he is just working normal he leaves early and gets home late. He is gone 10 hours a day 5 days a week isn't that just too much to ask of anyone. Is it really worth it? I think maybe we could cut back.... or think of something better. I want 5 hour work days. I am sick of it I want my husband back. I miss him.

3 months

Harvey is 3 months he is super silly and giggley. He likes to play with his tongue and suck on his right hand mainly his first finger. The past few nights he has been waking up a few times a night and he dosen't fall asleep very well either but hey he is so cute I don't mind much.

I'm a Failer or just lazy

So the whole potty challenge didnt work. I dont know what I am doing. I do not know how to Potty train this 2 almost 3 year old.... it is too hard I dont know what to do. Maybe I will just wait till he is in Kindergarded and is humiliated into using the toilet.

So I got a new camera for my B-day a nikon s8100 I really like it it takes way better pictures and its even red! Thanks Rick for the present your the best. Hear are a few pictuers I have been taking of the kids.

My Cousin Marie

I have not seen my cousin Marie in like 6 years. I miss her like crazy. We were like best friends like sisters. We had so much fun growing up. I am going up near Layton tomorrow to see my friend Lindsey so it makes me sad to think of all the fun times I had at Layton with her, and that now I have no clue where she even is... I would spend summers at her house in Layton or she would come down to my house and we would take road trips with Grandma to Eureka and Huntington. She was always the life of the party. She would always come up with the best games or funnest ideas. She was so nice and loving. She was like an adult with all the answers. I would just want to do everything she did, and I would want to dress just like her. I thought the plan was that we would move out and go to college together, but she kind of stopped talking to me then. And then when I got married all I kept thinking about is where is she, she wouldn't miss my wedding would she??? Then I tried to call her and her number had changed, she was gone forever??? I miss you Marie and I wish you would come back into my life. I hope you are OK and things are good for you. I hope one day you will find me. Love you tons, and miss you like crazy.

Potty Time

So we have really wanted Noah to start potty training for a long time but he hates the toilet. He screams when we even suggest that he sit on it. But it is time. We are going to start cracking down on this kid. Hopefully!! it will work. So yesterday I was determined to help him go on the potty because he woke up dry. It took a good half hour of convincing and bribing but he finally sat down. He knew he had to pee and then he did it! Yeah for Noah, he peed on his potty! But today was not the same. When I went to get him out of his bed ( he seems to still think I need to come and get him out of his big boy bed??) he had already peed in his diaper. So we still did sit on the toilet but I was not sure if he needed to go or not...rrr.... but this kid can only take siting on the toilet once a day I think. He just gets way to stressed out when I try to have him sit on it again. Maybe we will just have to go slow, once a day for a little while and then we can add more potty times. Noah doesn't care if he is wet, he doesn't care if he is has poop in his pants he never even tells me that he wants to be changed. He is too busy with his own life to care about his potty problems. That is why I thought maybe he isn't ready. He doesn't seem to even know when he goes he just goes.... I thought I would wait till it is warm and just let him loose outside, but maybe that is not the best idea. I tried letting him just pee in his underpants but that seemed crazy because then he just pees on my carpet and I have to clean up a huge mess rather than a small mess. I thought this whole potty process would be a lot easier. I think he is ready he is just the type of kid that doesn't like to change things up. But I bet once he has a nice little routing of going to the potty it will be good. I hope, I hope, I hope. So wish me luck for the up coming Potty time!
Harvey went to church for the first time today. I felt kind of like a bad mother making him go to church when he is so little exposing him to all of the germs there. I don't know if I will be able to make it back till he gets blessed in May. I kind of wanted to get him blessed in April but Rick's family is going to San Diego for spring break and they will be gone on the day I wanted to bless him so we will have to wait till May. Maybe I should have waited till May to take him to church. I sure hope he does not get sick. Sandra in my ward, made these cute little booties for Harvey and he got to wear them to church.




Yesterday Noah was so cute, we both had our babies and were just relaxing with them at Grandmas. He even put a diaper on his baby.

Kitchen/Bathroom

So I showed Rick my blog and he wondered where the updated kitchen pictures were... well I guess I better put some up. I love my new kitchen. I have tons more space to store things. We found a little space behind a wall that we put a pantry and put some extra storage above the fridge. I picked out the tile and the wall color. It has made a huge improvement to the whole house. The kitchen really is the heart of the home. We also redid the bathroom. The old bathroom pictures you cant really see how small the bathroom was. The tub was along the right side and made it so the bathroom was super narrow and long. We decided that the only way to fix this would be to put the bath tub at the end of the bathroom. We got a small 4 foot tub, its way to small for me to soak but perfect for a shower and to bathe the kids. I really like the blue color I picked out for the walls. Rick found these awesome small white tiles for the floor, that seem to fit the style of the house. I love it. And now we are working on the Laundry room. I am really excited to fix the laundry room since we walk though there every time we leave. It is super annoying to have it such a mess.
