Bath Time With Ty Ty

During Thanksgiving I got to spend time with my cousin Rachel and her son Tyler. The boys had so much fun together playing and dancing. Rachel was giving Tyler a bath and Toby was watching with longing eyes so she through him in the tub too. They loved it!! Toby loves to take baths with friends and I love it too, it makes it so much easier. It was great hanging out with you and the family Rachel! Can't wait to do it again soon!

Chef Kater-Kins

I love to cook!! It has become on of my favorite things to do. The other night I wanted to make a stake and pineapple pizza. It was incredible!!! I loved it. Of course I had to make bread sticks with it. Everything turned out wonderful and Ethen Loved it. The Best part is that it lasted us three meals and it was really cheap to make!!

Potty Training

So we have decided that it is time to get Toby familiar with the potty training lingo. Every time that I run to go pee pee on the potty, Toby runs after me saying "Potty?... Potty?" So he sits on his that is usually on the floor and I have a seat on mine. So before baths we usually try to get him to sit on it for a while and get used to the feeling of it. He loves it so much!!! I know he is only 16 months and we have a while before the official potty training starts but I just want him excited and I want him to understand what it means. Obviously he loves his potty. He didn't know what to do with it at first!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am so grateful for family and friends and for a Father in Heaven how loves me so much. We have been so blessed in our family with so many things! I am grateful to be a mother and a wife to the most amazing boys in the world. Ethen is a wonderful husband who loves and supports me. I am so thankful for that, and for his desire to serve his family and to be the worlds greatest dad... He truly is that!! Toby showers me with kisses and shares all his snacks with me, I am so grateful for ALL of his messy kisses... Especially when I am about ready to scream with frustration and he runs up to me to give me his kisses. I can't help but smile at those moments. I am so grateful for all of my friends who have guided me in my life, who have shared so many special moments with me.

Happy Thanksgiving

I love you all!!

Finally a hair cut!!!

Yes I will admit he has beautiful hair. Shinny, wavy, cute hair. Maintaining it is another story. His eyes have been red and itchy from his hair hanging in them. So I have been jokingly but truthfully telling Ethen that I was going to cut it. He loves Toby's hair and refused to let me. So when he left for work yesterday he told me the have "fun" with the bud... so that's exactly what I did!!! Here are the before pictures....

This is what he looks like now. Yes I miss his beautiful hair... but now he looks like a real boy, and I did a pretty damn good job!! I just wish he would've let me take a better picture.

Now I am sure you are all wondering what Ethen thought about this when he walked through the door form work... He was definitely surprised, but he just looks so dang cute he couldn't help but love it

Cute Faces

So this face that he make is so funny!! He just gets really excited and then stops in the middle of everything and looks at me with this face. He stares at me like this until I do it back. It just makes me laugh so hard!!! Notice his puffy hair...

Every time I say to Toby "You're so Cute!" this is that face he makes. I think it is so adorable!

Yes... this is Ethen... in the crib... the crib that was to expensive to buy... but not to expensive to put 100lb over the weight limit in it!!

I just love him!

So the last few days with Ethen have been really hard. He's been really stressed and grumpy and it has been miserable. Yesterday I had a feeling that I should apologize to him. At first I thought why should I do that I have done NOTHING wrong. Put the feeling kept pushing. So after us not really talking all day I went up to him and said that I was sorry for not being patient with him and for not being more understanding. I told him that whatever is going on, that he needs to talk with me about it. After all that's one of the reasons why Heavenly Father created marriage, so that we can strengthen each other. So after a good chat, everything seemed tons better. He usually goes into work early but he went in on time and then at 8:30 (instead of 10:30) here comes my sweetheart through the front door with dinner and ice cream!!! (I LOVE ICE CREAM!!) All through dinner he told me how sorry he was and how much he loves and adores me! Although he had a ton of homework, he refused to do any. He said that I need a night to have all his attention since I had had no of it lately. So we sat on the coach for 2 hours and talked. It was amazing and just what I need! So I guess what I learned through it all, is that in order to get what I want and need, I need to give in and give him what he needs.... even if it make no sense to apologize for something that I didn't do! I am so in love with Ethen. Even though times are tough with him gone all the time and no money, those sweet and tender mercies make it all worth while.

HELP!!

I am in need of some ideas for my wonderful husband for Christmas. We don't have much money and I want to make it a great Christmas for him. He has worked so hard with school and trying to provide for us. Through all the stress and crazy moments he has always shown his love for me. He deserves something great!! Any suggestions?

I'm so excited...

I know, I should just keep the excitement to myself, but I CAN'T WAIT to see this movie!!
