You Are My Sunshine

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..." I sing this to Tanner all the time and the other day after I finished "Please don't take my sunshine away" Hyrum says, "I'll Take your sunshine!!" HA! Now he says it all the time. He cracks me up!

Tanner

My little Tanner is getting so big! He's just the cutest thing ever! Dallas gave him a haircut and so now he is a blondie. He looked like a totally diff. baby after we cut it! He is getting close to sitting-up. He's started solids. He loves to snuggle into my cheek. He's just so cute!

ALSO! Started child #2 on the potty-training adventure. Brayden is doing pretty good actually. I tried the potty-training in a day thing and I think it would have been great if I could have had ALL day with no other children, but Dallas did give me a few hours of one-on-one time. So far he's made good progress. Today he went potty without me reminding him... yeah! ;o) My life will be so much easier only changing one child's diapers!
Hyrum is doing awesome with his potty-training since my mom sent some NEW underware for christmas! If only I'd known sooner that that would do the trick! Now I just need to brave night-training! ;0(

RANDOM....look at what I found in my orange!!! Sick huh?! Not really sure what it is either!

Sunshine in a Bottle!

I've been taking this stuff called SOL-RD and let me tell you it is AWESOME! You take it to build up your immune system, but if you get sick in the meantime, you can do a megadose and it will stop your cold/flu dead in it's tracks! I've had it work a couple of times for me and it's also worked for Dallas. The last time I really thought it wasn't going to 'cause I could feel the cold coming and coming and coming and then BAM! Nothing...totally felt fine after doing the full 3 days of megadose! It's pretty cool 'cause it actually helps your body increase it's white blood cells AND the best part is it helps your body create its own anti-bodies! Pretty cool! Here is a short video on how much to take and a little more explanation about SOL-RD. OH! and it's only $13 for 3 months supply. Way cheaper than going to the doctor and buying all that cold medicine at the store... not to mention that you don't ever end up sick! Not too shabby!

We plan to add some different things to make ours unique, but this will give you an idea

Halloween

Halloween was the usual! We first did dinner and rice crispy sculptures with Tyrell and Rose. We then went trunk-or treating. My sisters Sara and Rebecca and their friend Charlotte took Hyrum trick-or-treating in Idaho Falls after that. He was really tired and apparently they carried him most of the time. They brought him home around 9pm and he was konked in his carseat (they brought him into the house still buckled in). Hyrum was a dinosaur, Brayden was a clown, Tanner was an elephant, I was a superhero and Dallas was a soccer reff. Dallas and I ate most of the kids "good" candy and have used the rest for potty-training incentives. ;o)

Things to Come

We attempted to put ALL the kids (ours and Tyrell/Rose's) to bed in our little house the other night. I put Noah in Hyrum's "room" and they were just giggling up a storm! Josh kept trying to go visit and they were saying "come here monster" to get him to come play with them. Even though they were supposed to be sleeping, it just made me laugh 'cause in a few years we'll be having fun sleepovers and i'm sure there will be just as much giggling. Noah is the one with the awesome giggle!
