A look back

I decided to take a look back and see if my kids look alike at the same stages in life. So I put together a collage of them as newborns, at about 2-3 months and then with me at their blessings.

The first row all the way to the left are all Jayden, the middle are all Madyson and the right side are all Payton. do you think they look alike?

Madyson and the potty

So every time my mom has come to visit she usually asks Madyson if she wants to potty, and takes her. She has gotten her to poop and pee randomly, but while she was here for the blessing she took her a couple times in the evening before bed one night and she went pee all three times. She gets so excited and has a huge smile on her face and claps for herself. So I have been taking her when she wakes up in the morning, before nap, after nap, before bed and any time I take Jayden. She goes almost every single time. She runs into the bathroom when you ask her if she wants to go potty and loves to flush the toilet. I am not really trying to potty train her since Jayden still doesn't poop on the potty, so maybe she will just pick it up since this is working well right now. She is such a big girl, I couldn't imagine her little tiny bum in big girl panties, they would probably fall right off of her.

Payton's Blessing

We blessed Payton this last weekend on the 7th, so my parents came to town and Breanna and Landon came and stayed at the house with us. My mom made his blessing outfit and it turned out so cute. I love it. He did really during the blessing and it went great. After the blessing we had family and a couple friends over for a late lunch early dinner, and the food was really good. We had enchiladas (white and red sauce), spinach dip bread bowl, grapes, cake, chips, salsa and candy.
