Happy Halloween!!

Our family was invited to a Halloween party last Saturday. It was so much fun!!! The family that had the party is in our ward and they decorated their entire property. They had a haunted mansion, kids games, spooky treat and costume contests. The Rollo family won a prize for our costumes. We would like to thank our fans, everyone who voted, and friends for all of their love and support .... LOL! Seriously...it was a great time with probably a couple hundred people. SO AWESOME!!! A big thanks to the Clay family for all the work they put into such a great party.

The Rollo Rodeo Clowns... Ky wouldn't put the cowboy hat on the right way but I think it just added to the costume. Brox wanted to sport the hawaiian shirt under his overalls... cute as a button. Shad & I are proud clown parents.

Brox's Blessing

On October 11 many family and friends came to watch Shad bless Brox. He gave a beautiful blessing and Brox looked absolutely handsome in his white tux. Shad always gives very specific and inspired blessings and I love that about him. A very special part of the day was my Grandpa Baugh was in town and was able to be apart of the circle. Because we live so far away from Great Grandparents they were unable to make it to Kyson's blessing and I don't think they will be able to make it down to very many of our family's other blessings, baptisms, etc., so that was extra special. Thank you to everyone who traveled to Vegas to be apart of that great day.

Milestone - Kyson

Kyson finally went poo poo in the potty today!!! I was so excited, we couldn't stop celebrating. I thought of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 episode when Kate took a picture of the girls poops....may be I should take a picture of this milestone....and then I respectively declined. You can all thank me later for that decision. Yeah for Kyson!! You are such a big boy and I love you so much.

Thanks again Katy!!

XOXO Melanie

Brox is 6 weeks old...

Quick Update...

Brox went to his one month check up (at almost six weeks old... may be on the next child we'll actually make it in to the doctors office at four weeks old) and here are his stats.

Weight: 10 lbs 15 oz (reminder he weighed 7 lbs 10 oz at birth). The doctor said the average baby gains one pound in the first month so my little tank is triple the average.

Length: 22 inches (19 inches at birth).

This past week Brox started smiling and so most of his wake time is consumed by all of us trying to get him to smile and cooh at us. :) I love newborns!!!

P.S. Kyson is doing better at "pee" training but he is not doing the "poo" training at all... any advice?? Also, he doesn't tell us when he needs to go the bathroom yet. We just have to remember to take him to the potty. Any suggestions??

P.S.S. Kyson went to church for all three hours for the first time since potty training and he did not have one accident!!! YEAH for Ky!!

P.S.S.S. The picture of Brox is one of many adorable photos taken by my cousin Katy Anderson. I will post more of those pics soon. Thanks again Katy!!!

Potty training nightmares...

We started potty training Kyson last Monday. The first few days we thought we were crazy. After doing literally 20 loads of laundry from going through underwear and shorts a million times a day, I wanted to throw in the towel and give up. The last couple of days we thought Kyson had taken a turn for the better and had only a couple accidents all day. This morning I bragged to my Mom and told her Ky was doing great and we had even taken him out of the house last night to play on the playground. Well let's just say I should have knocked on wood after that statement...because it is only 12:30 and he has already had 5 accidents!!!! In three short hours he has peed and leaked on our couch, cushions, pillows, carpet, and tile. Seriously, what were Shad & I thinking???
