So. Much. To blog about...

Time has just been flying by... and I haven't blogged for so long... so here's a big catch up post...

Robby got potty trained.... just one day we decided to put on a pull up... and then we just put on underwear.... he still wears a diaper for sleeping since he apparently still pees in his sleep. But if he's in bed for a nap or just woke up (and has a diaper on) but needs to go he just yells and yells, "MOM! I NEED TO GO POTTY!" Till I come in the room. So no real method, kind of cold turkey. One thing is we started putting him on the potty from a really young age so he's always been used to it and went through phases of going on it more or less...


Thank you Lindsay for multiplying our undies supply! Now our day starts with five minutes of picking out which one we want to wear that day.... so fun! (can you tell he loves it?)


And I just LOVE cute little underwear bums! So fun!

Then.... NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!

We rented out a theater for a midnight showing and it was such an awesome event! We watched Twilight before at my house....


while putting together goodies bags for everyone...


After the show - showing off our awesome shirts we got made for the event!


A little funny Robby story about our shirts... so it's "La Push Cliff Diving Team" and a pic of a girl diving...

Robby: Who's that?
Me: Bella.
Robby: She's jumping.... What's she doing?
Me: um.... Jumping off a cliff? Into water...
Robby: No. Her not dumping into wader, her saying "help me!"

Ahhh.... he's hilarious...

This is just so Robby lately.... he kept asking every Sunday to wear a tie like daddy so I finally got him one and he was SO excited! And I got him this belt at Savers and he LOVES it. Now when he's all dressed up and ready for church he says, "Mom! I look like a prophet!" Hmm...



Playing with the Carter kids a lot lately.... Liv and I have been trading solidly once a week watching the kiddos so we can get errands done especially with the holidays coming up and it has been so nice!



Getting set up for Christmas....

I know this tree is so lame. :( Rob's had this little fake tree since his mission and we've used it every year! I wanted to get a bigger/real one this year but really we don't have much space for one anyway so maybe next year.... we had fun decorating it though!



Robby said, "I'm going to put Robby on," as he placed the ornament with his face on it on the tree. :) So cute.

APX Sub for Santa

We spent two long evenings involved with APX's Sub for Santa program which was really fun! We shopped for gifts for families and then helped deliver them. It was a great experience!



Sesame Street Live w/Aunt Lindsay

Robby was sooooo excited to go see Elmo! He hasn't watched much Sesame Street but of course knows who Elmo is! And we even got to go out to eat first. He was very well behaved, even extra quiet I'd say, just excited to be on such a fun outing!



We had front row seats! It was awesome!



He got to give high fives to Elmo & Abbie CaDabbie (who I'd never heard of but was really cute). He was kind of nervous of the big characters but ended up totally loving it! Thanks Lindsay!

And now I'll attempt one more post about Thanksgiving....

There is just SO MUCH to comment about on the post I love it!

1. I can't believe we have potty trained children! That has got to be the biggest feat of a lifetime. And everyone told us boys take longer than girls. PLEASE!

2. New Moon was SO FUN! I can't wait until Eclipse! It'll be a BLAST!

3. Ummm... I need some cute ties like that. SO CUTE!I love that he thinks he looks like a prophet. That's adorable!

4. This babysitting this is genius! Thanks for helping me out so much!

5. We don't even have a Christmas tree. man, our kids are deprived!

6. Awesome sub for Santa stuff. what a blessing in their lives!

7. And Sesame Street Live looks like SO MUCH FUN! Must remember that in the future. Especially since Rob is randomly obsessed with Cookie Monster. Though I can't actually tell when he's ever seen Cookie Monster other than his diapers.

Okay, epic comment done. The end.
