Take Three... I think this is as good as it's gonna get folks!
We love spending time as a family! :)

Update

It's been a while since I've updated this blog of mine... it's definitely time!


Madison is still loving school! She is constantly writing letters and singing songs that she has learned at school. She loves the fact that she gets to see her friends everyday- she is such a social butterfly! She has also become particular about a couple of things since she has started. She does not like us calling her by "Skatz" anymore. This has been one of her nicknames from Daddy for quite a long time now. Hyrum calls her this name the majority of the time because it is easier for him to say. She has now corrected us and tells us that we need to call her Madi or Madison. (Makes sense, doesn't it?) Ever since she has started school one of her chores has been to leave in the morning with a clean room. Madison has taken pride in her clean room and locks her door everyday before she leaves for school. I asked her why she does this and she told me that "she doesn't want anyone coming in and messing up her clean room." It works for me! :)


Hyrum and I have enjoyed the one-on-one time that we have to play together in the mornings since Madison has started school. I have decided to start potty training him AGAIN. (Hence the funny pictures of the kids with underwear on their heads!) I have decided that its REALLY time to start potty training since he has started to use the laundry room to do his business. Today Hyrum and I stopped to get a few things at the grocery store real quick- while he was wearing his big boy underwear. I thought that we would be safe. Yah RIGHT! He stopped in the middle of the isle dripping wet saying, "uh-oh potty!" A little late for that one. Needless to say we had a mess on aisle 8 to clean up! Haha. Pretty funny! Hyrum is doing pretty good. He still does not want to tell me he needs to go to the bathroom until after the fact. But he is becoming more and more willing to sit on the potty for me- and will go most of the time. (I wonder if Cheetos have a playing part in that one!) We are learning about colors right now. He is now starting to tell me other colors than "blue" when I ask him what color certain objects are. Now that's what I call success! :)
This picture of Daddy was taken by Madison on Sunday. (My kids have really been into taking their own pictures these days.) Daddy has been sick for the last week with a cold/cough he can't shake off. We hope he gets better soon!

Sorry I've just been too lazy to get on here and blog. I need to start taking more pictures and get back into business!
