Party Time! Well Sorta.


Birthday Morning.
Grandma bought her a replacement soother--
hoping she would snuggle it when she needed comfort.
Birthday Night.
She didn't even want her normal Hello Kitty blanket.
It was bad.


We knew that it was going to be hard.
But it was time.

I have worried that taking her paci away would cause her to suck her thumb.
So far, so good.  But it's been a week and she is having a hard time.
She cries a lot.  She has a hard time going to bed.
She won't take a nap now.
She wakes up crying a lot during the night.
She wakes up to early, and won't go back to bed.  
It's evidence to me, how often she rouses and used her paci to put herself back to sleep.
She has a hard time going back to sleep without it.

This will pass though.
What a way to spend your birthday, I know.  Sorry, honey.

Now on to the PARTY!!!

I couldn't get over how you would always drop your jaw in awe.  You did it everytime you opened a gift!
And when you got that Sleeping Beauty Polly you said, 
"I GOT IT!!!" 
Which was so funny because you had begged Daddy and I for it!  
I can't believe you remembered!


What a great way to spend your day: Watching The Little Mermaid (your new fav) 
while playing with your Little Mermaid Polly Pocket!

 

Not to mention, you were on the phone more than I was!   
{Thanks to all who called to wish her a great day!}


We had almost everyone show up for your birtdhay party-- your first one with friends!
Jaden and Jaron, Cooper, Lilly, Lydia, Preston and Tayci and of course your own siblings!

Happy Day to you, Jo Jo!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!! I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn, and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.   You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.   We are so glad you are a part of our family! *You love to play outside. *You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess. *You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.   *You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy. *You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice. * You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb.  *You love the computer. *You love to shop. *You have one year to be ready for your baptism! *When you fall asleep, you are out like a light! *You love your teacher, Ms. Bair. *You need a bigger bike. *You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb. *You draw people really well, and ...

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
