BYU game

  This fall time of year is one of Michael’s favorites.  Not because of the weather but because of football season!  He is a huge Cougar fan and he’s trying to teach our kids to be as well.  Since BreeAnn’s (my cousin) husband is also a big BYU fan, it’s fun for them to get together and watch the games.  The last Friday in September happened to be a weekend of a game and also when they have Kaili, Tyler’s daughter from a previous marriage.  Our two girls love to play together which makes the games fun for them, too.
  BreeAnn came to our house in the afternoon and Tyler joined us after he got off work.  We enjoyed a dinner at Café Rio and then the game at our house after.  BreeAnn had brought a little Halloween pumpkin craft for the kids to do.  It was so nice of her to do that and the kids loved it!  Overall, a fun night with family.  Go Cougars!

 Landon LOVES to watch shows on my phone from the Disney Junior App.  Wyatt joined in on the fun here.

Johnny Applesead Day

  Kayleigh came home from school very proud of the hat she'd made for Johnny Applesead Day.  I am so glad that she's enjoying school for the most part, I can't believe she's growing right up so fast.

Our power was out today

  With our lovely snow today, we were out of power for about 4 hours. Landon was super sad when Jake and the Neverland Pirates was turned off mid episode. I had to explain a little about power to him.
  Awhile later he wanted the light on in the bathroom while he went potty. I told him again that the power was out. He said, in pure innocence, "Now there's 2 powers out?" It was so cute!

Wyatt is 7 months

  I'm a little late in getting this up, but my baby is 7 months old.  He is growing like crazy and fitting in mostly 12 month clothes now.  He's sitting up awesome now but nowhere near crawling and I'm fine with that.  He still doesn't have any teeth either, also something I'm fine with.  I'm officially done nursing and all my storage of milk from the freezer is gone.  He is a champ though and drinks Costco brand formula just great.  I sure love you little buddy!

Potty training struggles

  Landon is really struggling with going #2 in the potty. He's been holding it forever, hasn't gone since Sunday. I'm kind of getting worried that that's not good for him. Not sure what to do...but he just told Michael in a totally serious voice, "Daddy, my bum is broken." Michael asked if we should take him to the doctor to which he replied, "No, I don't need to go to the doctor, just my bum needs to go to the doctor." Ha ha ha!

This morning

  Landon told Michael, "You stinky, go get in the shower." Hilarious!

Ugh

  Today is one of those days that I am glad is over. Kay woke up early this morning, 4:00 am early, throwing up. This was following yesterday when at about 5:00 pm Landon started throwing up.
  Everyone is asleep now and I hope we can sleep through the night. I also hope that Wyatt doesn't get it. Here's hoping for a healthier day tomorrow.

First day of Kindergarten

  I cannot believe the time has come for our little Kayleigh (not really so little any more) to go to Kindergarten!  After two years of pre-school she is plenty ready, but holy cow, wow!  I got to go with her on the first day which was really nice.  Kay does so much better when she can ease into something new and have myself or Michael help her do it the first time. 
  We just went for about an hour and had a little overview of how things will work for the year.  Her teacher's name is Mrs. Perry and she has morning Kindergarten.  At this point (a month and a half in to school) I kind of feel like her teacher is pretty scattered and it's hard for her to be organized.  In her defense, she teaches afternoon kindergarten at another school, but still. 
  Kayleigh doesn't seem to notice that though and for the most part enjoys going each day.  She doesn't like to get up each morning because we are such night people and have a hard time getting to bed on time but we are learning.  She loves music time and PE at school.  She also loves making new friends at recess.  As we drive home from school each day she unrolls the window and says goodbye to all her friends that walk home, it's cute. 
  Just this past week she has finally learned to write her name not in all caps.  She is doing great and before you know it the year will be half over.

  We had a nice, relaxing vacation weekend.  It's always nice to have Michael home an extra day to be with us.  Saturday we enjoyed a cool thunderstorm and a double rainbow, Kayleigh thought it was so cool!  I love when fall comes and the weather cools off.  The storms that weekend were so nice and got me excited for cooler weather.

  Then Monday we offered to take the kids to a movie at Kaysville Theater or swim in the backyard.  They chose swimming.  I was kind of surprised but hey, whatever makes them happy, right?
