Binky All Gone Or Maybe Not

Well as you all know, dylan has been a binky baby. When he turned one I decided to wean him off it. Well it didn't go so good but I did end up weaning him off it during the day. He only took it at night when he went to bed. Well yesterday I went to put him to bed and I could not find a binky for the life of me. I looked everywhere, but no binky so I told him binky all gone. He has this thing where when he is done with something or can't find something he say all gone over and over. So I thought well I will try that with the binky and guess what he was ok with it, he even slept through the night. I thought wow it was that easy! Ya, I was kidding myself. He happened to find one and ya when I tryed the binky all gone again, IT DIDN'T WORK! I guess it is back to square one.

Pictures With Santa

Christmas Morning

So the boys were all up by 6:00 a.m. and ready to open presents well at least 2 of them. When we finally got started opening presents Dylan was not in the mood to open after about 2 presents. We would hand him a present and he would push it away, so I ended up opening most of his presents. LOL. Here are some pictures of the boys opening presents.

Tyler's Day

So instead of throwing a birthday party, sam and I just took tyler out for the day. I had my mom and dad watch Kyle and Dylan. First we took Tyler to the movies. We went and saw Madagascar 2 and of course enjoyed popcorn and a drink. Then we headed off to TGI Friday's for lunch. Tyler had pizza and then as a suprise I had the waiter bring Tyler a sundae and they also sang happy birthday to him. After lunch we took Tyler to Walmart where he bought his birthday presents. He bought a sword, a bakugan and a SpongeBob DS game. He left the store a happy kid. Enjoy the pictures.

Baby Pics Of Tyler Glenn

7 years ago at 10:31 a.m.

So if you don't know the story by now, I will tell you. My original due date was December 8Th, but as you can see he didn't decide to come out till December 20Th because he was forced out. I was induced. why may you ask I wasn't induced earlier? ya ask my doctor (oh that's right she is not my doctor anymore). He came out blue as a smurf and blond as the sun. Since he had overcooked as some would say he came out 10 pounds!!!! I should of known by the way he stayed in until he was ready that he was going to be stubborn. He is now in 1st grade and still stubborn as ever. He is very smart though and is in the top of his class. Sam and I are taking him out for his birthday, he wants to go see Madagascar 2 then go eat at training table and then hit Walmart for his present and then we are doing the cake and ice cream tomorrow at grandpa and grandma Ashcraft's house. Here is a picture of the cake I made for Tyler.

Tyler's Christmas Concert

Kyle's Christmas Concert

It's the little things that matter

So Kyle let me open my Christmas present early and yes there was a reason why. It was a wreath made out of plastic bags that he made at school and he wanted me to enjoy it for this year. I love it! First because It was made from my son's hands with love and second it was way cute! It's the little things that matter. I made my dad a ladybug a long long time ago, back when I was in school and to this day he has that ladybug on his desk at home. Let me tell you a little bit about this ladybug. First of all it's a rock that was painted. It is the ugliest thing ever but for my dad it was something I made with my hands and was given to him with love and that's what matters not what it looks like. Kyle also gave me a finger nail file and not just any file, but one that says Special Mom on it. Tyler gave me a ring which ended up breaking but it was the thought that counted. The though that tyler spent his 75 cents on my ring instead of candy or something was special in itself. I guess what I am saying is my boys may drive me crazy alot but they do love me and they show me that they do in little ways. Here is a picture of the wreath that kyle made me.

The Results So Far

So Kyle came home with the biggest smile on his face. He has made it into the final round. There was 9 kids running for class president and now it's down to Kyle and a little girl named Abby. They now get to throw campain parties. That is all for now, stay tuned! Here is a picture of another poster he made and this one was done all by himself.

Cute Video

This is a cute video I found of Dylan playing with legos. Enjoy!

Kyle 4 Class President

So I pick Kyle and Tyler up from school yesterday and Kyle jumps in the car and says guess what mom! I am running for class president! I was so proud because a year or two ago he would of never had the courage to try something like this. He tends to be shy like his mom but he is finally growing out of that stage. He is really growing up. So I called Kyle's dad and asked him if he could help Kyle because I was not good at that kind of stuff and luckly he was home and was very happy to help Kyle. I have never seen Kyle so excited about something (besides Nascar) before. So here is the speech that his dad and him came up with and some pictures of his campain posters.

Hello Class I'm Kyle Jacobs, and I am running for class president. Here are some of the reasons I think I should be class president.

The first thing I would do as class president is help those who need help with their work.

Next, I would also be sure that we get all of are class jobs done everyday

Also, with your help I'll make sure the classroom stays clean everyday.

As president, I think we should all write down an idea for games to play during p.e. Then each week we draw out an idea from the box to see what game we will play.

Very Proud

So it was parent teacher conference time again. Tyler was first and let me say I was very proud and very impressed with his improvements from last semester. He has improved on his behavior some more, so much more that he gets to go to the "Big" party. He has missed the last couple parties so this is a big deal. He is also doing great in his other subjects. He got 100% on attendence and got a gift certificate to eat free at TGIF. He also got the scholorship award for doing good on his subjects. Then it was Kyle's turn and let me tell you I love his teacher so much better this year than the one he had last year. I don't even want to talk about last years teacher for Kyle. So on with the best news, Kyle got straight A's again! He also is doing great on his behavior at school. He got the scholorship award, the 100% attendance award and the citizenship award, to name a few. We all had to sit there for a while and try to think of something he could work on, it's kind of hard when he has mastered everything. All and all I was a proud mom when I left the school. Tyler got to take his awards home tonight but Kyle's awards weren't ready so when I get those I will post the pictures.

The Joy Of Fall

So when we got home, there happened to be a big pile of leaves on the grass and it didn't take long for Kyle and Tyler to jump right in. Here is a little video, hope you like it.

Tyler Lost Another One

So Tyler has had a loose tooth on the bottom of his mouth for a couple weeks now and finally today he lost it while we were out to dinner. He was very lucky he didn't swallow it, it happened so fast. He was so excited that he placed his tooth under his pillow the minute we got home.

Hockey Night

So I got some tickets from my work for the Utah Grizzlie's Hockey. I took my mom because she is the biggest fan of thiers. This was a girls night, no kids except for everyone else's kids screaming. As least they were not mine. It was a very good game, the score ended up being 5 to 2. Utah Grizzlies won!!! There were a few good fights and a few annoying people but all in all it was a great night. Here is a pic of the grizzlies after they got a goal. Oh and did I mention that they were great seats that we had, right by the ice.

Life Size

So since Kyle was such a huge fan, the guy showing the car gave this to kyle to take home.

Kyle's Dream Comes True

So I went home and got kyle's nascar coat before I went and picked him up at school. I then just told him that we were going to Walmart, smart as he is he asked why we weren't going to the one by our house and I told him that they didn't have what he wanted at that one which could have been true and could of not. When we got close to the walmart that had kyle busch's car I told kyle to close his eyes until I told him to open them. I stood kyle right in front of kyle busch's car and then said open and you will see the look on his face. It was also cool because before they car packed up the car he gave kyle a life size kyle busch stand up to take home. It funny also because not just me but Heidi & Mike and my Mom all told the guy that kyle was coming and that he was a really big fan. Here are the pictures we took.

Kyle Busch's Car In Utah!!!

So my friend christina comes by and tells me that kyle busch's car is at the walmart down the street from where we work and dorky me says oh the little one or the big one and she is like no, the actual car he races in so I ran down there on my break and took some pictures and I even got to sit in the car! I am also going to suprise kyle by just telling him that we are going to walmart and I will be posting pics of kyle by the car as well.

Some More Pics From Kyle's Party

Kyle's Birthday Party

So we had a drop in and have cupcakes and icecream kind of party. Kyle got lots of cool stuff and most everyone dropped by that could. Here are some pictures I took of the party. Enjoy!

9 years ago today at 8:22 a.m.

On November 14, 1999, the birth of Kyle Anthony Arnes Jacobs was happening. I was becoming a mom for the first time. I had gone into labor at about 2 a.m. on the November 13th. I had no idea what labor was like because he was my first baby so I just started having some pains in my back and when they wouldn't go away so I called the doctor and sure enough they told me to come in. We had happened to have Ashley with us so poor thing had to be dragged to the hospital at 3:00 a.m. but she didn't seem to mind much because she was exited about the new baby. It didn't seem long in fact only 4 hours of real labor and Kyle Anthony was born at 8:22 a.m. weighing 8lbs 13 ozs and 21 inches long and bald as bald can be but he was beautiful. I was a MOM! This picture was taken this morning after he opened his presents, can you guess what he got?

Just Had To Share

Ok, so I may be a big dork for posting this but I just wanted to share with everyone our new carpets. Get this, my husband picked them out and I think he did a great job. I don't think our place has looked nicer. We recently had the carpets cleaned and funny enough my husband and I were on the same page. He called me on the phone and mentioned that we should get some rugs and I was like, I was thinking the same thing. We are rarely on the same page about that kind of stuff so it was nice for a change. He even is talking about getting me a new table. Good thing I wanted to get the carpets cleaned huh! Don't you think my husband did a great job on picking out the carpet! I do and I guess that is all that matters.

Kyle's Award

Kyle got the student of the month award for October. He got it for being the smartest and nicest person in his class. He also had his picture on the wall at school for the entire month. I am very proud of him.

Here Comes The Snow

So this morning was the first actual snowfall that stuck and made a mess of things. I got to work ok this morning because it hadn't gotton to bad yet, but it really started to snow really hard while I was at work. I was lucky because by the time I got off work it had stopped. When the boys and I finally got home and were walking to the door, dylan stops in his tracks and just stares at the snow. This is the first year he has really noticed it and taken an interest in it. So I let him down and he stood there just staring at it. I finally told him to touch the snow, go ahead touch the snow and so he finally got the courage to touch the snow and he was like oh cold! He then started shaking his hands and his body like he was freezing. It was so cute, you had to be there to hear him. Here is a picture of him checking it out with his brother Tyler.

The Boys Are Ready For Halloween 08

Ok, so the boys are ready, one is not happy but they are ready for halloween 08. Kyle is the Storm Trooper, Tyler is the Green Power Ranger and Dylan is the "sad" Elmo. The reason why I say sad is because he hates his costume, he loves elmo but hates the costume. He can handle the costume but when the head is on he freaks out so I am hoping because it will be cold outside that he will want to wear the head but if not I have a plan, I will just bring a hat with me in case. So just wanted to share what the boys were for halloween 08. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

The "Tooth Fairy" Is Going Broke

So Kyle lost his other front tooth on Monday on the way to the babysitter's house. Of course I didn't have a tissue or napkin in site in my truck so he held it until he could spit. Then last night while Kyle was brushing his teeth his lost another tooth, this time one on the bottom so now kyle has this big hole in his mouth except for a tooth that has grown back. The "Tooth Fairy" only gives a dollar for each tooth at my house but when you have more than one child and they both are losing teeth like hot cakes then I hope you will understand why.

Lessons have started

So since my sister n law is in town for a while, I thought I would try to learn her language. This will be very hard for me because I tryed to learn Spanish in high school and it never stuck, well I do know the main things, like house, dog, and the colors and numbers but to speak it I can't. I am determined to learn Portuguese though, I really want to get to know my sister n law, she seems really great. So I asked a good friend at work to help me. She is going to give me simple words and let me practice them for a few days and hopefully in no time I will be speaking the language. I will keep you posted.

Going Good & Bad

Well Dylan started off doing really good going number 2 in the potty, I haven't had him go number 1 yet in the potty. Then a couple weeks went by and he started having bad days, where he was doing number 1 & 2 in his pullup. This got to be very expensive because pullups are more expensive than diapers and you don't get as many so I resorted back to diapers but he is now on the right track again even in the diapers. He has been doing number 2 in the potty again!!!! Here is the cutest picture of him going to the potty (don't worry, no nudity except some legs)
