STILL Potty Training...

Kaysen is STILL not potty trained!!!! He just keeps fighting me on this. He will go in the potty a few times a day for like a week, then stop. Just...stop. Totally refuses to go into the bathroom anymore. I don't want to force him to do it though. Does anyone have any advice?

Terrible Two's ALREADY?!

OMG! Kaysen has been so hard to handle lately! I swear him and Aidyn decided to switch attitudes. Aidyn has been so easy to deal with and so much better and calm. Kaysen on the other hand has not! He loves to test his limits big time! For example he loves to turn the TV off. He goes up to it and turns it off. I say NO Kaysen! I go get him and sit him on the couch. He gets up and walks over to it and puts his finger right in front of the button and turns to smile at me waiting. I say...NO. Then he presses it!!! UGHHHH!!!!! This goes on over and over!
When he wants something or I have to take something away from him, he squeals...and LOUDLY! Then throws a fit! He will scream and cry and kick his little feet. I'm like WHOA, what happened to my angel?! Everyone who has been around Kaysen knows he's always been so calm and quiet. So this is like day and night. Seriously! He's only 19 months old...how will I make it through the terrible two stage?!

That Dreaded Time of The Year

School shopping! THE HORROR!

Today I must go buy school supplies and school clothes for Aidyn. I have not been looking forward to this! What I hate the most is how SPECIFIC the school list is! It's ridiculous!! Please say a prayer for me!
I also hate that his school has uniforms. UGH! I miss the days when I was in school and we could wear regular clothes! That'd be so much more fun to shop for!

Bills, Bills, Bills

I don't know about you but I am so tired of paying bills! Yes I hate spending the money on bills, but I hate actually paying them even more! Sitting here and having to be on the computer or even worse, calling them to make a payment. Totally sucks! Takes out way too much of my time and I hate talking to people I don't know on the phone. (I'm shy lol) But, I am finally done with this months bills! YAY! The rest are auto pay. :) I can't believe I am sitting here talking about bills.
Honestly, I haven't really known what to blog about. Nothing new is really going on with the kids. They just eat and play. LOL! Oh, we did go to a Spray park the other day! It was fun!!! Totally free too!

Small Update

Just an update.
The house is coming along, but slowly. Marc's busy work schedule doesn't help in that department.
My kids are growing so big! Aidyn is growing like a weed! Next thing I know he'll be my height! Kaysen is just getting so much smarter. He's learning a few more words, but is so much more social. If that makes sense. Even though you can't understand most he says, he is always trying to talk to you. Makes me smile every time!!!

Homemade gifts for Fathers Day

I found this awesome idea for a Fathers Day gift on Pinterest! I was so excited to do this project! But I gotta tell you the one part that I thought was going to be easy turned out to be difficult!! I needed to find lots of different types of candy. I went to probably 7 stores to find all the candy I needed! The most difficult to find was Now and Laters! I couldn't believe how rare it is to find that in a store! It was ridiculous!!! 
Anyways, so I made a card for Marc "from the boys". I also bought an extra poster board for Aidyn to make his own "card" for Marc. He is excited to get started on it, which he will be doing in just a moment. 
I am going to post a picture of the project I did. Tomorrow I will most likely post a few pictures of Marc getting his "cards" from us! 

Uptown Village in Cedar Hill Rant

The "interactive fountain" at Uptown Village in Cedar Hill is something my kids love to go to! I love taking them too! You get to sit at a table with an umbrella for shade and watch your kids run through the fountain. Kaysen has finally gotten old and brave enough where he will run through it all by his self. 
I took my kids there this morning to finally get us out of the house! Aidyn goes and immediately starts going through the water. I walk Kaysen in and finally get him used to the water, I turn around to let him play and for me to go sit. All of a sudden the security guard comes up and tells me that Kaysen is too young and too small to be in the fountain. Says that the kids have to be OVER 48 inches to be in the fountain. WTF?! This is new to me!!! So even though I'm upset I get Kaysen out and have him sit with me and play while Aidyn gets to play in the fountain. About 30 minutes later the same security guard comes over and says "Haven't I already talked to you about your child?" I'm like "Yeah, I got him out, see?". He said "No, your other son.". He then proceeds to tell me that the rules are you must be UNDER 48 inches to be in the fountain. Poor Aidyn is 50 inches. He said the rules are UNDER 48 inches or UNDER 10 years old. WTF?! What 10 year old will be under 48 inches?!! Aidyn is 6 years old! He can't help that he's a tall kid!! I then asked why he said that you had to be over 48 inches earlier and made me get Kaysen out. He said that it was a miscommunication. UGH! I then had to tell Aidyn to get out of the fountain. My poor child starts to cry since he doesn't understand why. 
To me it feels like like descrimination. People can't help if their young child happens to be tall! 
I realized (after the security guard left) that their sign says 10 years and older. Not anything about a height limit. I took a picture of that and will be going to management on Monday to complain. 


I couldn't believe that I had to put both my kids through that. My youngest didn't get to play more than 2 minutes in the water and my oldest only about 30 minutes. It's just ridiculous!!! 


I just wanted to rant about this since I was upset, also to let everyone around Cedar Hill to know of this problem. This mall has been open since 2008, they should have set and stuck to these RIDICULOUS rules from the beginning! Not spring them up on people 4 years later! 

So Proud

I have been so proud of Kaysen. He has started to learn so many new things, and in just a week! He has learned to say these words..no, ta-da, drink, moo, grandma. That's a lot in such a short time! He's just getting smarter and smarter! I love him! :)

Life With Boys

Yep, I am the only girl/woman in my family. I have my husband and 2 sons. It's Sunday morning and they're all playing video games. Well Kaysen is watching(he's only 16 months). I usually forget that I am the only female here but days like this one tend to remind me. :) It's so funny to sit here and watch them. They get so into these games like it's a life or death situation. They sit and yell at the game or banter each other for making a wrong move, or high five each other with big smiles on their faces when they have defeated the horrible monster. LOL! It just makes me laugh. Here I am either on the computer or curled up in my recliner reading a book. It's crazy how you'd think I'd be so bored having to watch a video game but it actually gives me peace. I know they're doing their "guy stuff" and it means they leave me alone! I don't have to hear "momma momma momma"! I get to relax and do my own thing!
