Jordan's Team took First Place!

This is Jordan's club soccer team, The Warriors. We had a soccer tournament this weekend and took the Championship. We are a bronze team and played one bronze and 3 silver teams to take the Gold. Jordan is the bottom row, second from the left. We look forward to a great fall season!

Potty Training

So we are on Day 6 or 7 can't remember really, but potty training is almost done. We have the days down, but not the nights. I haven't tried the nights really, but I think that just comes naturally. I mean how do you train them to get up and go pee? We haven't really been able to potty train at home only, so she really has it down:) Yesterday and today, Jordan had a soccer tournament and everytime Kayleigh had to go to bathroom, she would tell me and she would make it. She was even playing with her friend on the field which means even more. By the way, Jordan's team took the Championship in this tournament. We are a bronze club team and we played three silver teams and still won the whole tournament. Pictures to come soon after Brent loads them on to our computer:)

Lots going on:)

What's new for my life? I mean come on, lots going on? Of course with 3 kids what couldn't be going on:) So for the last 2 weeks the kids and I have been taking swimming lessons. Jordan is doing so well. He really doesnt need the lessons, but I figure why not if the other two were going to be in it. Kayleigh, oh my gosh, she is doing so good. She is kicking, blowing bubbles and going under the water. And Trinity's instructor, amazing!! This is the first instructor since I have taken these mommy and me classes when Jordan was a tike, that is wonderful. Trinity is already going under water, holding her breath, and not crying about it. She is kicking and blowing bubbles. Extremly good for a 11 month old! Today we dropped them into the water to the instructor from a diving board:) Tomorrow we do it again! As for the binkie, 4 days no binkie!!!! Yay:) :) We have started potty training since yesterday, and not so bad. Kayleigh had 3 pee accidents yesterday, one was my fault she told me she had to go to the bathroom and I didn't take her. Today only 2, one when she was playing on the playground, couldn't blame her. No poop accidents though:) Since we took the binkie away, Kayleigh has been way better, less fits and more expressing herself through words. Don't get me wrong though, I still have a MAJOR drama queen on my hands! Trinity is following suit:) As for Brent, he applying for a different title at WAMU. He applied for a job out of the bank and got it, however, right when he got it, they put a freeze on all job positions! That is ok though, we prayed that it be God's will and not our own and I feel like God had his hands all over it. These other positions we will be praying for the same. It wouldn't be right if it wasn't God's plan for our family. Me? Well just being a mom and housewife, which loving it as usual. Still doing Tupperware and Gold Canyon. Gold Canyon is much better and easier to sell of course. Just loving life as always!

Taking the binkie away!

So we are on day 2 of taking the binkie away and so far so good. Yesterday, bad on my part, I started it off with a birthday party. Kayleigh screamed at the top of her lungs all the way there and for about the first 20 minutes of the party. I told her we were going home if she didn't stop. Well she wanted to go home cuz that was where her binkies were. So I told her forget it, we are staying here, but you are sitting in the corner while I play with your friends and have fun. She then stopped and played her happy little heart out. We thought the night would be hard, but it wasnt bad. She knew we were done with the binkie, and unknowingly Kayleigh understood:) After the binkie has been mastered, we are starting the potty training. I have decided to stay in doors for the next 2 weeks to get us through all this training. I will keep you posted daily!

IT'S TOO HOT!!!!

It has been so hot here in Sunny Southern California. Miserably hot!! Yesterday it was 102 degree and I hated it! I am trying to stay inside, but it sucks. I have the house all closed up to keep the heat out and air on, but that sucks too cuz that costs money. The kids like to go swimming, but I don't really want Trinity out in that heat. Colorado is looking really good right now:(

Music Class

The girls get to go to a music class for free every Monday at the park. We play with musical instruments, scarfs, stuffed animals, parachute, and much more. Trinity loves it, while Kayleigh loves to play on the playground. Thought I would share pictures of their fun times.

The girls swimming

These are our two little girls swimming at Grandma and Grandad's. The water was a little cold, but the girls still had fun. Aren't they cute?! I will try to post a picture or two a day. I have dial up so it takes awhile, but it is fun.

Kayleigh and Trinity's Birthday Party, What a Blast!!!!

The royal affair was yesterday and I couldn't wait to post my pictures! It was the best party I have EVER put on and all the kids had a great time! To start the party off I had the girls make their grand entrance in their horse and carriage (a rocking horse hooked to a skateboard attached to a red wagon with gold pillows and burgandy tablecloth) and escorted in by Prince Jordan. All the kids got to play in it later on.

I had three tables accoring to a theme. The first table was the gift/cake table. My mother in law made the castle cake and I made the little one (you can tell the difference). I made goodie bags for all the kids with really good stuff. I had playdough, candy necklace, princess candy, Ariel marker, Ariel tattoos, princess stickers, hair tie, jewelry, princess stickers, and bubbles with princess stickers on it. The gifts we had took over the table and ground below. The our daughters were spoiled and received way too much!

The next table was the craft table where all the kids had so much fun! I had face painting, which was done by my friends husband who was an artist, he elected to do it, amazing!!, we had crowns with stickers for the kids to make, and jeweled picture frames. I also had princess chalk for them to have fun with. Next to the craft table was a HUGE princess tent that the kids all got to play in and they had a blast! I also had water balloons for the older kids:)

The next table was the food table. I named all our food which Kayleigh just loved! She would go around naming all the food, it was cute. We had Jasmine Jello (which melted before anyone had any), Prince Jordans Juice, Royal Wieners with Mulans Mustard, Princess Kayleigh's Ketchup, Beasts Buns, Prince Phillips Potatoes, Belle's Baked Beans, Prince Charmings Chips, Cinderella's Chocolate Cups (which also melted before anyone had any), Pocohantas Pretzels, Princess Trinitys Tator Tots, Ariels Watermelon and Sleeping Beauty's Strawberries and Blueberries.

Then the grand entrance of Cinderella. Cinderella was my best friends daugher, Jamie, and she did a wonderful job! Kayleigh never caught on that was her! At first she was shy, but when she warmed up to Cinderella she was attached to her hip. Cinderella played bubbles with the kids, then played in the princess tent with Kayleigh and the other kids, she ate with them, took pictures and did the cake. Kayleigh cannot stop talking about it. When the party first started Kayleigh was wearing her Belle dress, but after Cinderella arrived, she switched quickly into her Cinderella dress:) Totally cute. When we started singing Happy Birthday, Kayleigh started talking to her friend Emily about her cake, she was really shy. Trinity, well we tried to get her to go into her cake full force, but when you want them to do something messy....THEY DON'T!!! When we won't want her too, she will!

This was Trinity and her friend Amanda. Amanda lives in our complex and she was born on the same day as Trinity in the same hospital! They love to play together and they always have a good time. Trinity had a blast at her party! She crawled EVERYWHERE!!!

Can you see how many presents we had???? It was crazy. Kayleigh's friend, Killian, tried to load her little red wagon up with all presents, but had no success! By the way, try to find Trinity on the ground in the middle of ALL their presents:)

This was the ball pen I set up for the little ones. I had the balls in the pool at first, but that didnt last for long:) The kids had a blast in it!

This is Jared, my best friends son and Jordan's best friend as well. Do you see him holding his princess cup while on the little pony? He is 12 yrs old, do they EVER grow up:)

Before all the kids left, they all received these chocolate pops that Kayleigh and I made. They were in the colors Blue, Pink and White and in the shapes of Carriages, Princesses, and Castles. I don't know if you can tell, but I put edible glitter on them too, so they sparkled!!!

Last but not least, Trinity couldn't even make it home, but she did make it past the party. Kayleigh opened the rest of her presents and wanted them ALL out of the boxes. She put one of her dresses she got on and a pair of her new shoes and past out! All of this while mommy tried to figure out where EVERYTHING was going!!! All in all we had a great time. The party went from 2 pm til about 6:30 p.m. Kayleigh is still talking about Cinderella and is carting most of her presents with us everywhere. Trinity probably doesnt remember, but I am sure in the future we will be having another princess party:)

Another one of Kayleigh's thoughts for the day....

Kayleigh has been walking around telling me that Trinity and I have "boo boos" also known as breasts and that Brent and Jordan have circles. She couldn't wait to tell Brent when he got out of the shower this morning that she had boo boos too. The other day, as we were walking through Mervyn's, we passed through the lingerie section and at Kayleighs eye level are the bras! You guessed it, loudly she says "Mommy, I need to get that for my boo boos!" Brent was far ahead of us, but could hear Jordan and I cracking up. When he looked back and saw where we were, he could only guess what she commented on:)

Kayleigh......The things she says!

So I was dropping Jordan off at his school for a Knotts Berry Farm Day and while we were waiting in the car a fly landed on Kayleigh's legs. All I hear her say is "Oh my gosh, it has wings" (by the way Kayleigh is totally into Mermaids, butterflies and fairies cuz of Mariposa and all the Barbie movies), so I asked her "what has wings", she said "the bug on my leg". I was thinking it was a bee so I was freaking when I looked it was a fly. I said "oh yah it does", she says "oh my gosh it is so beautiful, its so cute!" Of course what I was thinking is this really MY child, I know it is Brent's but no way is she mine! :)
