Christmas

Christmas has been so much fun this year.  Kohen has liked just about every Santa he has seen.  When he see's a Santa he will say "ho, ho, ho" and will call all the Christmas decorations Christmas.  We had our little family Christmas at home and let Kohen open his presents from Jake and I.  Kohen and I left for Colorado on the 21st.
Christmas Eve my dad's side all got together like we have been for my entire life.  We mingle, we eat then we sing Christmas songs.  It's quite funny to listen to since our family seams to be tone deaf.  All the men in the family will get up and sing the 12 days of Christmas like they have been for as long as I can remember.  Then all of the women will also get up and sing for us each year it's a different song.  The last song we sing is Santa Claus is coming to town and Santa comes in and hands out the presents.  It's a lot of fun.

On Christmas Day Kohen and I went to my in-laws Kim and Paul's and met with the rest of Jake's family ate breakfast and opened presents. He got a Leap Frog Tag Junior which he loves from Aunt Kim, Uncle Paul and the kids.  Grandma and Grandpa got him a drum set and table. Uncle Pat, Aunt Robin and Angelia got him clip blocks.
My parents got Kohen a tool bench, Elmo Live and legos!  We had a wonderful Christmas this year.

On Saturday we had my Uncle Jerry's funeral he died on the 19th of December.  He was 62 years old. He had 4 children and 10 grandchildren.  He had stomach cancer and they removed his stomach.  The cancer had spread and there wasn't much more that they could do for them.  He fought long and hard.  We will all miss him dearly.

Potty Training Adventures

We have been potty training for about 4 months or so.  And then it kind of clicked some days he does really well and other days he has many many accidents. It's also training myself  to be very aware of where we are going and making sure that there is a restroom and all of that fun stuff. We used to let him run around with out any underwear on, one time he pooped on the floor I walked in and asked K what did you do? "Bagle did it" He said it as if it's really what happened. Blaming things on the dog already. What is he going to be like when he has a little brother or sister. He would much rather pee standing outside or in the shower. Trying to get him to go on his potty consistantly hasn't been much fun.  We take two steps forward and one back. It sure has been a long process but can't wait for it to be over with! This parenting isn't all fun all the time. It's hard at times but I sure wouldn't change it for the world. And for fun a couple of pic...

Things Kohen says

I’m going to update this as I find them and he says them. 3/26/2018 Conversations with Kohen on the way to school. K-Do you think they will take away our 2nd amendment? M-No, but they might try.  What happens when they do take away that? K-Like what Hitler did, he was controlling and powerful, killed a lot. Kohen actually went into more depth than what I put on here and I was pretty surprised which I shouldn’t be. 2/23/2018 On the way home from school Kohen looks at Kaiya and says “ugh...mean mom, why didn’t she take your braces off? Don’t worry I’ll take them off” “There you go, now give me your other foot so I can get that one too.” “Is that better?” “I bet your more comfortable now aren’t you?” “Mom, Kaiya smiled so she must have liked that I took them off right?” My heart just grows and grows for this boys heart. I didn’t think anything about Kaiya having her afo’s on but Kohen was very concerned that she was uncomfortable. 6/20/2015 Kohen trying to convince his ...

Exhausted

It’s been a really rough, exhausting month. I haven’t broke down yet but I can feel it coming.  The unknown, the wondering why. It’s hard. It plays with your mind. It’s exactly what satan is trying to do. Trying to drive a wedge in my faith. My faith, my God is so much bigger and stronger. I know he has Kaiya in his hands. He’s taking care of her no matter what lies ahead. 🙌🏻
