B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

Riley and Cami have been liking lipstick lately. So here are some pictures of them after they applied it themselves.Riley's a little better at it then Cami. Still so cute though!




Paityn's 2 Month Check-up

Paityn had her two month visit last week. She is weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs. 7 ozs. Which means she's gained 4 lbs. since birth. Way to go Pait!! She got her shots and was a tough little girl about it. Everything checked out and she is a healthy baby girl.

She's such a happy baby, shots and all

All cleaned up and smellin good...she's so sweet


Round 2: The Treasure Hunt Continues

Here we are again talking about something we've found tucked away in this house. Since we moved in, the toilet in the front bathroom has been up and down, loose and stuck, running and plugged if you will...sorry for the puns. I had to... LET IT OUT!!! Hahaha. Anyway back to the story. So sometimes the toilet flushes and runs properly and then it would get plugged and we'd have to plunge it out and then it would work again. Only to repeat the pattern the next month. We blamed it on the kids using too much toilet paper, which may still be partly true. But then we thought, well there is crap stuffed everywhere else in this house, why not the toilet too? So we finally called a plumber to come take a look. He came in smelling like cigarettes and work...if you know what I mean...and began to poke around. He told me that there was a foreign object in the toilet. Foreign? I thought to myself. That could be anything to a toilet!! If it's not toilet paper or a turd it's foreign isn't it? Our warranty only pays if it's NOT a foreign object. Tough...break!!! I stood by as he took the toilet off of the floor and reached up inside. Anxiously hoping to see a wad of hundreds safely protected in a ziploc baggy. What was it you ask? Take a look and see...


The scene of the crime...

The culprit!!! A ball point pen. Really? Yep. It was lodged in there sideways and it would get toilet paper wrapped around there and get clogged for a time until the paper dissolved and then it would run again. Crazy...and gross. Now that that is taken care of...what's next? I don't know what to expect next. A bike in the duct work? A body in the sheet rock? Keep watching your tv's...we might be on the next Unsolved Mysteries with our next discovery.

Wanted: HELP!!!!!!

So I don't normally have a post without pictures...ever... but I just need some advice. HELP!!! Chad and I are at the end of our ropes with Trevor. We have been trying to get him to go to nursery and stay in nursery without us. Getting him to go into nursery is not a problem at all. He is BEGGING us to leave sacrament meeting and head for the toys and snacks right when the meeting begins. However if we dare leave him alone in the room or if for one second he loses sight of one of us he starts panicing. Panicing leads to rapid breathing. Rapid breathing leads to tears. Tears lead to all out SCREAMING. We are taking ANY and ALL advice now. What do we do to get him to let us leave him in nursery? How can we make him feel more comfortable? He's been going for7 months now...seriously???...7 months and he still can't be there by himself? He's almost 2 years old. Help me please. Any and all advice welcome.
