Memorial Day Weekend.

Our Memorial Day Weekend started with a family prayer at the cemetery where Joey's Grandpa Bob is buried. Everyone from the Duckworth side was there. With the exception of the cousins that live out of state. Also us...I didn't time my morning right. So we didn't make it to the prayer. Sorry Grandma Nae. But after the prayer there is always a BBQ at Grandma Nae's house. We headed straight there from our house. I got a few shots of Kaiyenna wearing a pair of Grandmas sunglasses from back in the day. Check it out.

Joey also had fun taking pictures of Keydran...He loves his blue eyes and likes how the camera makes them so bright!

Kaiyenna also had fun playing with the legos. She got a little bugged that she couldn't figure out how to put the legos together. It's fun to watch kids learn how things work.

After Grandma Nae's house, we headed over to Joey's parents house and spent some time with just them. Kauyenna loves to go over there. She love the dog buddy. And likes to play with him.

(Watch for the little red dot. Not that it's hard to see.)

It was a pretty crazy night. But we didn't end our weekend there. The following monday, (yesterday) Joey went golfing with his Grandpa Arnie and he took his little sister Cassi's man slave Eric with. Cassi and I stayed home with the kids. We met up with them later and had dinner. Joey's Grandma Lu and Aunt Vicki were also there. We ended dinner and then Cassi, Eric, Joey and I headed to a surprise birthday dinner for our brother Jerry at Ruby Tuesday. It was a very busy weekend. But enjoyable too!

No more diapers.

So even if your child is 6 1/2 months or 21 months. Don't put it past them to take their diapers off. I know I have this problem with Kaiyenna. I didn't think I needed to worry about it with Keydran. I put him down for a nap a few hours ago, a few minutes ago I heard him making noise. So I went to get him and found this...



I've now learned to never put my child down for a nap in just a diaper, even if he's just 6 1/2 months old. I need to make sure to put the clothes on pronto and keep them on at all times, even if he has just had a bath...(which he's had 2 today) for fear that Kaiyenna will try to take off his diaper. She has tried, but I was right there to stop her. But I don't want it to happen while I'm not there!!

It's a dance off.

(sorry about the sound, it may be hard to hear. So turn you're volume up as high as it can go. Also, you might want to push the pause button on my playlist at the bottom of the page.)

I love this show. Some amazing people tryout, and some NOT so amazing people tryout. Watch these two videos and decide for yourself. But let me tell ya, you're in for a treat.

After watching the the first guy dance, you'll see the reason they call him "Sex".

This guy is amazing. I went to YouTube so I could get it in better video quality. My video was kind of crappy. and it was hard to see him pop.

My 1st attempt

Okay, for the past few weeks, Kaiyenna has been showing signs that she is ready to toilet train. But I needed a week that I knew I was going to be home. And this week seemed to work out the best. She actually went poo poo on the toilet for the first time Mothers Day. So since then we would put her on the toilet occasionally. She was very successful with pooping. So starting this monday I thought it was time take the diapers away. I went online yesterday to read tips on toilet training and I came across this HILARIOUS video.

I also read that your child should not be forced and it should not be a negative experience. Everytime I put her on the toilet she screams and she's very good and going pee 5 minutes after I get her off the toilee. I've read that children usually don't like to be wet, but Kaiyenna just didn't care, So I figured she's not ready. So today I give in and give back the diapers. I guess we will try later. If anyone has any tips, PLEASE...I'd love to hear it...I guess read it!

Hollywood Kaiyenna

For Mother's Day Joey got me hair extentions...but don't be fooled, these are not just your typical hair extentions. They just clip in your hair! How wonderful. If I want long hair one day and short hair the next, well it's easy. I love them. Well, I clipped them in Kaiyenna's hair to make her have long hair and it's the funniest thing ever.

As you can see, she didn't want me to take her picture. It looks like she is threatening to hit me in the 1st picture. And then I realized that she had food on her face and she got mad and started crying as soon as I cleaned it off. And Finally she gave me an okay picture. Now all she needs is sunglasses! I love her sooo much. She puts up a lot from me.
