Potty Training!

Potty Training. I have four kids, three of them I never had to potty train. They just started wearing big kids underwear, and that was it. My Devinator. Well we worried about him. I was not sure how to potty train him. He wanted nothing to do with going potty in the toilet. I was kind of worried that he would be 5 and going into kindergarten wearing diapers. LOL! Then last week on Tuesday. It happened. Daddy I want to wear big kid underwear. And that was it. He has been going in that bathroom all by himself . We only had one day of accidents.
I am so excited to be done with diapers. So if anyone needs advice on potty training, don't come to me. I have no clue how to potty train. Mine just do it on their own.
Congratulations Devin, for being such a big boy. We are proud of you.

Districts!

Well Taylor had districts this last Saturday. The girls place 1st in the stunt routine, 2nd in stunt show, and 3rd in the sideline cheer. They will be going to state in March. Taylor is so excited.
I am still trying to get the dvd downloaded onto my computer. So as soon as that happens I will post the dvd on her so that you can see the cheers and stunts.
Not much else has been happening. Taylor is busy with Cheer. Hopefully that will slow down some. I have been busy at work, and the kids have just been doing alot of swimming at the gym. They have really enjoyed the swimming.
Well that is it folks. Write some later. Hopefully post some dvd's.

Mean Parents!

So last Saturday Taylor wanted to take a couple of her friends to Logan, to eat and see a movie. So we told her that she could go and have some fun. Then Gerald and I decided that we would go out to eat at Texas Roadhouse that night also. So my daughter got to take the nice Van and we took the old beat up Trooper to Logan.
We got down to Logan at about an hour after Taylor left. We had a wonderful dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Love their food. Then we decided that we go ahead and go home. But before we went home we called Taylor to see if she was out of the Movie yet. Of course she said that she was and that they were stopping at Kohls then going home. So we took the opportunity to have fun with our daughter and her friends.
Can you guess what we did? We took the van and moved it behind a BIG PILE OF SNOW. Then we sat and waited for them to come out of Kohls. They walked around in 6 degree weather looking for the van. It was funny to watch. Taylor kept calling us to find out where that van was. We let it go for about 15 minutes. Then we decided that we had better let her know where the van was. It was pretty funny. Of course we might regret it later. She will probably get revenge on us.

Sorry! LIfe....

Well I am so behind in my blog. I did post a little bit about Christmas, but there has been a lot going on since then. Taylor had her 16th birthday. Wow. I have a sixteen year old in the house. She has been really waiting to turn sixteen. Can guess why? Bet you can't. No it wasn't because she could start dating, it was so that she could drive in Utah. By herself. My daughters priorities can be a little crazy sometimes. I would have went for the dating.
Then we had New Years Day. Didn't do much except work. We are such a boring family, lately. Then on the 15th of January my baby turned 3 years old. WOW! Time flies by fast. I can't believe that he is three years old. Amazing. Where has the time gone.
We all have been busy working and playing. Taylor is getting ready for Cheer Competition in Pocatello on the 13th of February. Gerald has been working, I have been working more. And the other three have been enjoying their time in the snow playing and playing with friends. We haven't done much this year so far. We have joined the gym here in town. They have remodeled it and put a Olympic size pool in. That will keep us busy as a family and getting in better shape. I will post pictures of Devin's birthday a little later. But for now this is our life in a nutshell.

Christmas!

Well it has been awhile since I have put anything down. We have had Christmas, Taylor's Birthday, and the New Year. And I have written anything. Shame! Shame!
Christmas was good. We had a pretty good day. My kids I think really enjoyed what they received from Santa. Taylor got her first Laptop, Anna got a Nintendo ds, Christopher got a Pellet gun, and Devin got some Handy Manny toys. Gerald received his Laptop this year, and I got a new phone. We all made out pretty good this year.
