YEAH KATELIN!!!

So It is official... KATELIN IS POTTY TRAINED!!! Yeah KATELIN!

This has been an adventure, but We are there. Back in January we tried the potty training thing and she was doing great, but It didn't last. We went to Disneyland and when we got back she wanted nothing to do with the potty chair. Anyway we decided to give it another try. It all started the week of the 4th of July we were going to go to my parents cabin. They have a pool there that won't let you go swimming if you aren't potty trained, so we had to work on it. I put her in her panties and gave it a go... She had some accidents, but according to ELMO... "Accidents happen, That what they say. Accidents happen, night or day." :) Basically for that first little while I had to drag her to the potty every so often, but then she had an accident and she started to cry and said "I want my diaper." That's when I knew, she new what she was doing and there was no going back. We started giving her Popsicles when she was on the potty and books. We even put the dvd player in the bathroom so she could watch Elmo's potty time when she was on the toilet. I Want to give a BIG THANKS to Jill for the advise about leaving them in their underwear and not putting the diaper back on. I think that was the key! And thanks to Kristine for the pee pee and poo poo dances that was fun! Anyway it worked. The sad thing is I got deathly sick down at the cabin and we had to go home before we could take her swimming, but as you can see we made it up to her and took her to the Pool at home! Good job Katelin Mama is so proud of you!!!

P.S. CONGRATS to BRYCE and BRAXTON my two nephews who also just joined the potty chair club! I am so proud of you!!

Tytan's blessing day

This Sunday we blessed Tytan. It was fun day. Clay did a good job on his blessing. All my family and Clays family were there, except for Tony who is on his mission (but will be home in 4 months) and Grandpa who has been sick for a couple weeks. And FD Grandma Mathews who live in Cali. Tytan looked so cute in his little white suit and he was so good. He was awake during the blessing but didn't cry. He is such a good little baby and We are so lucky to have him in our home. Here are some pictures of our little party!

p.s. sorry Leah

One Month Already!

It has already been one month since little Tytan joined our family. He has been so sweet and such a good baby. I love him so much. He always has such a pleasant look on his face and he has such a sweet spirit. There is really nothing like a new baby. The spirit is so strong having someone so special who was just sent from heaven. Last night I asked him nicely if he would sleep a little longer because I have been so tired, and sure enough my little obedient child slept 5 hours straight and I slept so good. What a good little boy!

Since he is now a month old we decided to take him to church on Sunday for the first time. Here he is in the best sunday outfit we had for him.

ELK RIDGE CELEBRATION!

Clay was gone this last weekend for a golf tournament so Katelin and I went and hung out with my parents for the Elk Ridge city days. It is amazing how much it has grown. They had the funnest parade on Friday. (It was perfect... short and sweet and a lot of candy) Then on Saturday morning they have a fireman's breakfast where the firemen cook pancakes and eggs at the firehouse. Then they had all the fun and games. Katelin was the only grandchild there so grandma and grandpa bought a bunch of tickets just for her. She went down the big slide and jumped on the big blowup jumping thing, took a ride on the train a couple times and went on a pony ride. We had fun!

SILLY KATELIN AND THE STORY OF THE BUG EYE GLASSES

Here are some cute little pictures of Katelin doing funny things lately. Katelin is such a nice sister. Notice how she is sharing her Barbie Doll with little Tytan.

In this next picture, I think Katelin was practising her kissing skills on the window and so Clay got a picture of her

doing this...

Ok now the story of the bug eye glasses. First of all here is my cute cousin Leah. I love Leah she is always so good to me. This is a picture of her and Tytan when she came to visit the other day. Oh and the cute little boy below is her son Drew.

Isn't he a doll?!

A while ago Leah and I went shopping and she found these really big sun glasses. Leah is really stylish and thought we should get some. I hesitated, but we both went home with a pair of BIG sun glasses. Now, when Leah got home her husband told her she looked like a movie star, and when I got home my husband said..."you look like a BUG" WHAT THE HECK! NO FAIR! I have to admit Leah always looks like a movie star and well I do look like a bug in those glasses. But Katelin she looks like a super model don't ya think?

MORE FUN WITH TYTAN

I keep catching my little happy boy smiling in his sleep. I try to catch it on camera, but this is about as good as I can get. He just looks like someone is telling him some really funny jokes or something. I guess it is probably just gas, but I love it and I don't usually love it when people have gas!:)

Katelin loves her new little brother. She is dealing with this change so well. I can't believe what a big girl she is! She just keeps talking about "baby Tytan" and wants to sing to him, tickle him, and love him.

Here is Tytan and his new little cousin Savanah. She was born just 4 days after Ty and is so much bigger. Isn't she cute?!

I felt bad that my parents didn't get there pictures with Tytan on the blog, but all the pictures I had with them were on my dad's Camera so here are some more pictures of my family with our new little guy.

HERE HE IS!!!

YAY! OUR LITTLE BUDDY IS FINALLY HERE!

So wednesday didn't go as easily as hoped for. We went into the hospital early in the morning and after hours of labor and pushing and pushing no baby. I new that I could have problems because I pushed for 2 and half hours with Katelin and they finally managed to get her out with the suction, but this little boy was not going to make it through. So they did a C section. It kind of sucks having pretty much gone through both natural and c section births, but either way I am so Thankful that I have a beautiful little boy who is nice and healthy. I have to count my many blessings because I am SO BLESSED! So HERE HE IS, THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...

Tytan Clay Bingham
