Goodnight Sweatheart

So Ty-kell has gotten into a rotten habit of not going to bed when it is bedtime. He is tired most of the day and then around 6:30 an hour before bedtime he is wired, and does not go to bed until after 9:30. So it is us putting him back in bed for two hours. His constant I need to go potty, and water please. The two hours goes by fast. Well last night Tyrone and I were getting ready to go to bed and Tyrone went to check on the kids, and he comes in laughing and he says to me you have to come and see this. So we go into the kids room and I didn't see Ty-kell. I looked at Tyrone funny... and he pointed down to this.

My Potty Break

I know whoever is reading this is really interested in my title, but it is true. I find this quit humorous, but others might not. So today was a pretty busy day. I got up got the kids ready, and we went and met grandma at Seminary. Then we went shopping to find uncle Chad a tie for his birthday. We also had to run and get stablizer for the quilt that Aunt Rachel is making for Sophie. So we were in the car most fo the morning. And at about 10:30 I look back and Ty-kell is out. To no avail of waking him up I think oh, well that just means no quite time for mommy. So we got home at about noon. We wanted to do something special on Chad's ties(yes we got more than one we couldn't help ourselves). So after I fed Ty-kell lunch, I went upstairs to do the designing. Oh, and I forgot to mention that my husband came home sick today. So as I was designing my sicky comes in from school. Then I get the design done and my mom and I press them. Then we wanted to take them to chad with some balloons that we got in town, so I fed Amea, and off we went. It took us 2 hours and Chad wasn't even at work he was out to lunch. So then we came home I did a couple puzzles with Ty-kell and started dinner. After dinner when we were done cleaning up I realized I needed to got potty. So I go in and sit down, and think " Wow, it is so nice to sit for a minute and relax". So there you have it I have never understood the phrase potty break because it has always been something that has taken me from what I was doing. But today I adorded that porclien thrown, as I took two minutes to just sit and have me potty break. Oh, the wonderful things in life.

Total Agony

Ty-kell is experiencing totally in agony... his favorite pal deserted him(so he thinks). Actually his dad had to go to stake preisthood meeting, and Ty-kell wanted to go with his daddy. So he had a complete and utter breakdown. Then he fell asleep at the top of the stairs. I will be waking him up in a minute because it is 5 o'clock and he likes to play a little game of not going to bed when it is time. So... sweet dreams Ty-kell.........(just for a minute).

Amea's Eating Rice

So we've started feeding Amea Rice.... This is the first time and as you can see she likes it. We made our own homemade rice. You do this by putting some rice in your blender and blend it up until it is a fine powder. Then you boil a cup of water and add 1/4 of cup of rice. It is pretty think so for young babies you have to add more liquid. Unfortunatly I do not feel that rice cereal this way is good for babies.

When they are older as you can see they love. We are now giving Amea the store bought instant rice cereal and she likes it a lot more and it is much easier to eat. The homemade rice cereal is beady and hard swallow. As soon as we started her on the instant rice her bellies were full and she slept for 12 hours at night. Oh, it was bliss.

Amea all done!

Family Home Evening

So last Monday Ty-kell was incharge of refreshments for Family Home Evening. He wanted to make M's cookies, (or in our words M&M cookies). Ty-kell helped mixed them up, and put in all of the ingredients. And scooped the majority of them all by himself. With a little help from his daddy. They were delious. Ty-kell loves to cook and has become quit a little chef.
