2 awesome things this past week. SHELBEE IS POTTY TRAINED!!! YEH!!!!! She was the easiest of all my kids, it seriously only took a week. She is so stinking funny - everyone we see she says " I potty trained" and pulls out her underwear for them to see. She got that from her dad I think. She is the standard 2 year old that wants to do everything herself. Yesterday I tried to help her put her coat on and she pulled away from me mad and said "YIAR"! (liar) She must think that is something really bad like the common adjectives my other two use everyday like stupid, dumb, or something because she was ticked off.
The other thing is finishing new moon in 3 days. I have become a junkie. For all this time I couldn't figure out what the big deal was about the vampire books. Now I am an addict. I read twilight, and new moon in a week. I fed my kids cereal or cold pizzas for a week straight. OH well, they were happy and so was I! Then I made Chad go watch the movie with me. He was a pretty good sport and it was obvious that there were a lot of other men in the same boat at the movie.








We went down to West Mountain to have some family pictures taken. A girl in my ward is really good at it. Of course, I bit the dust. But, that is pretty much expected. I was carrying Shelbee, so I am just glad I didn't crack her cute little head open. We still need to get some individual shots of the kids, but we ran out of light that day.

I have to admit that wrestling wasn't my favorite sport in H.S., but when your kid is doing it, it is sooo fun! Devin is really good and all business about it. Show em how to wrestle, twist em like a pretzel Dev!

This is the most recent family picture of us which was taken in San Francisco this last July. We went to a family reunion on my moms side (Dixon's). This was taken at an aquarium. Left to right Sydnee 8, Devin 6, me (really old) Shelbee - 2 & big daddy Chad. Not the best picture, but the most recent.
