Falling Leaves

The boys have had fun with the leaves, especially Dallin. When we go to get in the car he insists on throwing at least one leaf first... "leaf! leaf! leaf! (throws one leaf) All done!"

Kyle the Monkey

Potty Training Success!!

Dallin is potty trained! He started about 3 months ago when he was barely 2. He just insisted. He never really liked the little potty chair and always preferred the big boy toilet. Now he keeps his undies dry everyday (with a potty accident here and there). He loves to go in public bathrooms (fun!) and says 'pee pee' when ever he sees one just so he can 'go,' and then use the electric hand dryer. I still put a diaper on him at night but most mornings it is still dry. I am so happy to not be changing diapers anymore!! Now that's something to smile about :)  

Statesville North Carolina

We went to Statesville, NC last weekend to see Jim, Dan's brother in a skateboard competition. Our kids were sick but they were troopers and we had a great time. Jim is so funny and kept us laughing. Kyle just adored him and never left his side. Jim and Kyle skateboarded a lot. Kyle told me that he learned a lot from him. Today Kyle said, 'Man I really miss my friend Jim.' Here Jim is teaching Kyle by example why it is important to always wear your gear. Kyle said to me on the way home.. 'Mom, I'm just glad Jim didn't die when he fell, I would really miss him.' 

PEACE!

Kyle is a little stud on Jims' board. He has his dads coordination

Trick or Treating

Partaking of the fruits of their labor...

Kyle was up the whole night hugging the bowl after candy overload. We hope he learned his lesson.
