Olivia's First Lost Tooth!

So Last Saturday Olivia came and told me that her mouth was bleeding. And her tooth was hanging forward, it was so loose, so kidding I told her just pull it out and she did! I couldn't believe it. I don't think that she even had a loose tooth. And it just came right out! I was amazed! She is still excited about it. And looks super cute!

Our Crazy Halloween

Well, The day started off pretty good! I took the time to curl Olivia's hair while the other two took early naps. It turned out so cute! And when the kids woke up we headed to a birthday party and then came home for a few hours while Eli slept( not long enough) and Maggie got on her wiskers she didnt like them one bit! I pretend to wipe them off and rushed her out of the bathroom! Then we headed out to our Ward Trunk or Treat.. Where I almost went crazy just getting kids out of the car.. They were so grumpy! (It almost wasnt worth it) But we made it! And They looked so cute! Olivia as a Tooth Fairy, Maggie a Cat, and Eli a very sad Pirate!

Well, We hope you all had a great Halloween!!

Double Trouble

Maggie is my child who is just care free and goes along with what is happening. And sometimes that means doing what little brother is doing... and with Eli that means getting into trouble However if Eli is the only one doing the trouble making she is screaming at him telling him No! Its only ok if she is doing it with him. Yesterday I was making dinner and I kept getting called Mom! Mom! Mom! And I turn around to find these two up on the table. If Maggie is being naughty she usually tells on herself. That should come in handy when she is older...haha! As I walk towards the table they both can't get off fast enough...Eli almost missed the chair!

Saying Goodbye!

Well, This past week we threw away Maggie's Pacifier! Honestly I didnt think this would ever happen. She has been so attached to it that I thought she would never give it up, but, she bit through it, and I just tore the rest of it off and gave it back and told her to go put it in the garbage. She cried for a few minutes but threw it away, then about an hour later she had a good long cry ( like she had just lost her best friend) And that was it! She askes about it ever once in a while and I just tell her its in the Garbage. IT WAS AMAZING! And another break through.. We got Eli sleeping all night long! Yes, I know 18 Months, I guess I have just felt bad for the little guy all he went through as a baby so I always got up and gave him a bottle but he got to the point that I was up 3 and 4 times a night giving him a bottle. So I just decided I finally need some sleep. And just a few nights of him crying has been worth it! I feel like a new woman! This is Eli's new I'm being a tough guy face...And this other picture is him after eating a chocolate cookie! Can you believe he can make such a naughty face but be so cute?

Just dont let that smile fool you.. He is a stinker most days!! Ha Ha!

Its that time of year...

How can you say No to that cute face...

Well with Olivia in kindergarden, we have come to realize the real reason she went to school, only there for a few weeks and she brought home her backpack with a funraising packet.

Olivia Byram

(And a surprise to me. Yes she has learned so much she wrote me the email...ya..right....)

Anyway Today in my free time...haha... I dont really know what that is anymore. But I took the time to make Olivia a skirt I have been meaning to since July when I got the cute fabric from my sister inlaws fabric store... http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7287822&page=1

And today I got it done. It turned out so cute. However, when I finished my house was a total disaster! I don't know how people do all the sewing and keep there house in control! But here is the skirt. It will look so cute on her!

P.S. I would have taken a picture of Olivia in the skirt but my kids are all still in PJ's for the day..and the fridge was the only clean spot in the house. haha.

Mini Me...(Brock Jr)

Isn't that just the cutest picture! You can tell dad got him dressed because Brock always wears his sleeves rolled up..and other than his church shirt, its usually untucked too. Sometimes I wonder if there is any of me in that kid or if he is just all Byram. Today at church Brock let Eli walk to the other end of the pew where the missionarys were sitting and they let him out and up to the front he ran...he made it about 3 steps away from going on the stage before I caught up to him! Brock just sat there making me go grab him it was very embarassing! And of course one of the Stake Presidency was there. ( I think my kids are aways worse when the Stake Presidency comes to our ward) But Olivia sang with the Primary kids in Sacrament and she did great!

Jumpin' in the Rain...

The other day it was so warm but it was raining so I just let the kids go out and jump! They had so much fun getting all wet. Eli kept sliding all over like it was a Slipin' Slide. He would get up run as fast as he could (trip over his feet) and slide across the tramp. It was so cute! And they had a blast!

School Up Date: Olivia is loving school! She thinks that riding the bus is awesome because she doesnt have to wear a seat belt! And everyday I ask about school all I hear is how fun recess was.

The other day Maggie had a babysitter and she did her hair so cute I just had to post pictures..
