Favorite Day

1st things first, I slept in:)!!! I love to sleep in and my MOthers Day starting off with this first gift was perfect. When I finely did wake up Riley was standing there dressed like a weightier. He handed me a menu(one that he had made:) and asked me where I would like to be seated. I had no idea so he recommended the veranda (porch). I picked a huge meal off the menu and got dressed and headed for the veranda. I bouquet of flowers and a wine glass full of crushed ice sitting next to a diet Coke awaited me:) I must say there is nothing like a wine class with diet coke, MY FAVORITE:)

As I seated myself my weightier (Riley) came out and mentioned the wildlife that I would be seeing. The swallow, and some other birds were mentioned. Then he pointed out the other more obvious wild life. There was a silver back Rhino (DANE), a Mocking Jay (LONDON) and for added protection Mr. Incredible himself was there, (JACK.) It was quite beautiful to behold all my wildlife, they were quite delicious!

As I was sitting and enjoying my Diet Coke Mr. Incredible (I mean Jack) brought out his present he made for me. It was so stinking cute!!! It was a cook book that his teacher had put together. The students gave their favorite recipes and she typed them out for us and put them into a cook book for us. Jack receipt goes as follows

Jack: Spaghetti O's

Turn on oven, it's a square, then put circles in oven for six hours. Then you eat them.

All of the kids recipes were super cute like this:) Jacks teacher really is that wonderful!!!

My weightier then brought out my first course. French toast:)!!!! It really was so YUMMY!!! Then my second course came out, freshly squeezed OJ, eggs over easy and toast with a side of jam. WOW, it was perfect!!! This whole time he stayed in character, lol;)

Then my weightier had to run away and so some church stuff, kinda weird I know, lol;)

Later that day he said, "I forgot to ask you if you will be joining us for dinner?" YAY, I didn't have to make dinner either.

Our dinner was delicious and my weightier/cook went all out:) Pesto with Angel Hair pasta and grilled chicken. So good!!

Then my weightier/cook cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes and THEN he out the kids all down by HIMSELF:)!!!! This guy really knows how to work for a tip, lol;) Really this was one terrific day for me!

I was totally spoiled, it was wonderful, lol;)

Being a mom is the best most hard thing I have ever done. My "wild life" make me smile every day, they make me laugh and they make me feel REAL joy:) I love you little mutts, thanks for coming into our home!!!

Changes, Changes, Changes

So we are moving. This is such a bitter sweet. My people is Eagle Mt are AMAZING and I feel like I'll never find people as good as them! I wish I could somehow take all of them with me, kinda weird I know but true.

We are on our way North, probably to Layton. Being closer to family is HUGE for us. I REALLY want my little Jack to go to Angie's Montessori School and we would be close enough for that to happen, that is one ReALLY big perk:)

So to all my Eagle Mt people, I love you, I'll miss you and I have learned so much from you!!! Thanks for being the kind of people that I could learn and grow from. LOVE you all..........OK maybe not the old man, lol;)

WHY?!!!

Oh our way to Logan last weekend my van broke down. Oh the drama of it all!!!! We were going up the mountain and it started to smoke everywhere and it wouldn't shift into the next great. We pulled over and all three kids were not so happy and neither was this mama! We had these HUGE semis driving past us and it was scary, me no likey! My mom was with me, she was the calm in the storm, I'm SOOOO glad I had my her!!!

So we had to get it towed to Logan and have it checked out and I have been here ever since. I will be stuck here till they fix the problem. Good news, I would rather be stuck in Logan at my moms than in Eagle Mt without a car. Bad news is I can't sleep because I don't have my Riley, I am getting about 4 hour of sleep a night.

You don't really appreciate something till u don't have it anymore, I am really starting to pprecite the van as of right now..........I miss you van, come back to me!!!!

BIG GIRL!!!

THis is London on our way to the store and she is wearing panties!!!! London even naps in just panties:)

It's official little London is POTTY TRAINED:)!!!! I could see that she was interested and so I went for it. The book was a HUGE help!!! I was planning on doing the training on Saturday but I could tell that she was totally ready so I started doing some of the things that the book taught little by little every day. There were three things that I think were the biggest help.

1: The baby doll that we used. London had to teach the baby how to potty

2: Being positive ALL THE TIME!!! This was hard because I was genuinely annoyed when she just sat on the potty so she could have a treat.

3: Teaching the diff between WET and DRY and giving TONES of positive attention for being DRY. The doll was also very helpful in this step.

So all in all I didn't use the book to it's full potential and we still had success. So I give this book 5 start!!! GREAT BOOK!!!

If you have any questions let me know:)

Fascinating!!!!

I have always wanted to learn as much as I can about homosexuality. I know and love people that are homosexual and I just think it's important to understand it. I also feel like it's important to know the facts because it is SO READILY excepted in todays society and to stand for what I believe I need to know FACTS. I found this information and found it festinating and very educational. So here is an ARTICLE that made my mouth drop!!!! Also here is the WEB SIGHT that is very educational. The videos (Dr. talking abut his research and his patients and understanding of homosexual behavior) on the sight are very eye opening in understanding homosexual behavior. I would love to hear what you guys think of this material!!! So leave a comment and tell me what ya think:) Happy reading/research:)

It's time!!

My cousin has 3 boys that she trained all within one day and I had to know how. Well this book was the answer!!! I found it on Amazon for $3 and got it in the mail yesterday. I have read it and I have STUDIED it and London is ready!!! If you are at the end of your rope when it comes to potty training you REALLY should get this book.

Here are a few aspects of the book that I found amazing:

#1: These guys are Doctor that were working with Mentally Retarded individuals and they had Severely mentally retarded people toilet trained within 3-4 days.WOW!

#2: They then started to work with children and found that they could have a normal child trained within 3-4 hours.WOW! This is though vigorous research.

#3: The whole process is a POSITIVE one, NEVEr do you react in a mean of angery way.

#4: You use a doll to help teach, a doll that goes pee pee. We just got ours today and London LOVES her doll. (I'm excited about his because she has NEVER really cared about dolls."

#5: It gives you 3 signs to look for to make sure your child is READY! I'll give them to you now so you can see if your little one is ready. 1:Bladder Control-Does your child stay dry for long periods of time and then pees all at once. 2:Physical Readyness-Child needs to pick up things easly, walk without assistance. 3: Child needs to be able to follow instructions, EX: point to nose, eyes, ears. ASk them to sit down and stand up. Thanks it, if they pass these three things they are ready.

London is already doing pees and poo's in the potty every once and a while so I know that she is ready but I'm going to get Dane ready in the next month so we can get him out of diapers as well. I can't wait to STOP spending a fortune on dialers and wipes!

I am going to be doing the training this weekend so I will tell you all how it goes. If it is a disaster I'll tell you, If it's a HUGE success I'll tell ya! I wish someone had done this post for me when we were working with Jack so I will do it for ya'll:) Wish me luck!
