Finally!!!

Corban has begun to get the hang of potty training! We made him a potty chart and told him if he filled it all up with stickers then he could get the hulk toy! He got it today!  For about a week I had to literally follow his every footstep around the house to make sure he wouldn't go potty in his pants! When he was in diapers he would hide every time he pooped so I had to catch him and put him on the potty because he wouldn't tell us when he had to go!  I clean the house every Monday and I couldn't even clean this last Monday because of this! haha It's been a very frustrating and stressful couple of weeks but very rewarding! He's not fully potty trained yet but at least he is to the point now where he will tell us when he needs to go! Now he needs to work on holding it and telling other people he needs to go like at church in nursery or at school! I can't blame him for not being able to hold it though since his mom has the same problem sometimes! haha I'm sure those of you with kids can relate! Maybe! haha At least now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of his potty chart! 

Here he is putting the last sticker on it! 

He's wants the dang toy opened already! 

Corban loving his sister this morning before church! 

Just a pic after church to show how big she's getting! 

We are coming to AZ this Friday! I am so excited! Wish me luck flying by myself with both the kids and no stroller carrying Brighton with my purse, diaper bag, and carry on bags trying to make sure Corban doesn't run off! Man I can't wait! 

Corban Loves School!!

Corban is now going to the preschool up on the BYU I campus! He just started going there 3 weeks ago! It's fun for him because he gets to go to Daddy's school! I am so proud of how good he is doing! We can really tell a big difference in his speech already! He has also been going to a private speech therapist for about 3 months now and between that and preschool he has already progressed alot! We are so proud of him! Here he is so excited to show me his name tag! His glasses broke so that's why he doesn't have glasses on...and we're waiting for the new ones to come! 

Here he is this morning waiting for the bus! It comes at 8 o'clock which means I have to get my butt up out of bed earlier than usual to get him ready! It's fun though!  

Here's the bus! He's on and ready to go! It's pretty cool they have carseats on it and bus assistants to help the kids! When I picked him up after the first day of riding the bus he saw me waiting at school and looked at me and said "no mommy, ride the bus" haha! It was hilarious! I told him "you only ride the bus to school and I pick you up"! At least he likes riding the bus! 
Here is a picture he painted at school! When he brought it home we asked him what it was and he said "Hulk and Iron Man" haha So cute! We love you Corban and are so proud of you! 

Happy Hallow-Weeny!!

Earlier this week we carved the pumpkin! We went to the grocery store and all they had were huge pumpkins and I wanted to get a big one and small one for Corban and Brighton but we just decided to get one! So Clifford started drawing on it before he gutted it then realized he needed to gut it first! Corban was not a fan of the guts! haha We couldn't get him to touch them at all! Here they are before gutting it!  

Here's Corban and the guts! 

Corban is helping Clifford carve! It's a little scary with a knife in Corban's hand! haha

The finished product! Clifford refused to do anything hard this year since last year's Spongebob pumpkin took forever! It's ok! I don't blame him! 

Yesterday we had our ward Halloween Trunk or Treat! This was the first trunk or treat we've been too! It was quite fun! Corban had fun going around to all the cars! This year was really fun for us because Corban actually understood more what to do! Here is a picture of The Hulk and Brighton before the trunk or treat! 

Brighton with her cute owl beenie from Aunt Heather! Thanks Heather! 

Her cute pumpkin headband and smile! 

Daddy and the kids! 

Mommy and the kids! I know we are lame for not dressing up! I didn't want to spend money on costumes we would wear once! haha Maybe next year! 

I didn't get any pics at the trunk or treat but then after we took Corban down our street to trick or treat! Here he is showing off his pumpkin full of candy! 

He had so much fun! 

After trick or treating  Clifford has some friends at work that invited us to their Halloween party! They had lots of yummy food! They did so good decorating! We ate and played some games and hung out and talked! 

We had so much fun! 

Corban was in heaven with all of the yummy treats they had to eat! haha We didn't get home until 11pm! I felt bad for Corban and Brighton! They were both awake the whole time! Brighton was spoiled by all the girls there holding her! Hopefully I can get her back on schedule after last night! Here is The Hulk just chillin on the Love Sac eating a cupdake after a super long day! The kids were troopers! I hope you all had a fun Halloween!
