Quick Potty Update

Sadie is doing great with potty training. Today was her first day at school going potty. She went several times in the toliet and only had one accident. No complains here!

Go Sadie!

Food, Food, Food - I guess I am pregnant

So I know my last blog was about food and it isn't so much that I am enjoying all the eating of the food, I mean I am but with spouts of sickness I am very cautious of what I am eating. It is the sense of accomplishment that I am having it cooking great meals!

So tonight for dinner I wanted to make is enchilada pie that had been sounding good to me all weekend. I didn't have any enchilada sauce so I thought BUMMER it just won't be the same with just salsa. Then it hit me....I bet I can make homemade sauce!! So I googled "Easy Enchilada Sauce" and BAM! Easy, I had all the things I needed and it tasted GREAT!!

So I whipped up a quick and easy enchilada pie with homemade sauce. YUM!

Don't think I'll be cooking dinner tomorrow....we have Enchilada Pie, Meat Loaf, and Chicken and Dumplings (Seth's mom brought over a wonderful meal!! So sweet, so thankful!) I think we will be living off leftovers for a few days. I would invite you all over for dinner but our home is still being quarantined.

(all of the sudden I am hungry again!)

Monday Meatloaf And Plenty Of Pot Pie

They would be so proud...My loving Mother and sister Rebekah came to my house this weekend and saved me from the wreckage that is myself! the first few weeks of this pregnancy have hit me a bit harder than expected. One thing led to another and before I knew it we had no food, no clean undies and no light at the end of the tunnel. It was looking like takeout every day and going commando. So my sister and mother to the rescue....and let me tell you it really helped. I am back on my feet and feeling much much better!

Rebekah made a yummy sloppy joe mix for Sunday night dinner however it only made it to Sunday lunch (ok Saturday late night snack) and Sunday lunch. Luckily I was left with plenty of food and a great menu!

So far I made a Chicken Pot Pie.

"This tastes like a real pot pie!" After Seth's first bite

Phew!!

Now cooking in the oven is the Motts Famous Meatloaf. Hoping I can live up to the Motts standards.

Looks good and smells good so far. Wish me luck that is will taste as good as it smells.

I can't say thank you enough to Rebekah and my Mother for coming and helping me out in a time where I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. What a huge sense of relief I have felt since Saturday. Thank you, Thank you. It really meant the so much to me.

THANK YOU!

Potty Training

Ok, so I have been deciding if I should potty train Sadie or not. My concern is she is only 2, I wouldn't even consider it but she is READY. She is showing all the signs of needing to be potty trained. So I got my answer....

Yesterday durning Sacrament at church, everyone is quietly thinking about Christ and all things spritual Sadie says aloud "MOM, I HAVE TO GO POOP!". So I quickly, very quickly rush her to the bathroom and sure enough she pooped in the toilet. We returned to our seats. 10 minutes later she ""MOM, I HAVE TO GO POOP!". We rushed out again and to my suprise she pooped again!

We have been home today and she has been consistantly going potty on the toilet. I got up this morning and got her the little toliet that goes on the regular toilet. It really seems to be working!

I am so excited. Could it be? Could my 2 year old be potty trained! YEAH!!!

We all love SIS!

Me and my kids are SOOOO lucky! Today was a day full of fun for my two kids and super helpful for me too.

To start off Robin - aka sis - picked up Sadie from school and took her on a birthday fun day. It started of with some ADOREABLE gifts followed by lunch and a day of shopping. She got to pick out some cute things. She choose a cute purse, lip gloss, hand wash and nail polish. So super cute. She came home with her lips all shinny and a big smile on her face! What a wonderful day with Sis!

Sadie Hearts Sis!

The evening concluded with Linkin getting a trip to "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" with Sis. Oh I wish you could have seen his face when he heard she was taking him! You would have thought his heart was going to jump out of his chest. He was so excited he could hardly get dressed. I hope he made it out of the house with pants on! hahaha.

He is there now having the time of his life I am sure. Did I mention it is in 3D? Lucky kid!!

Linkin Hearts Sis!

We are all so lucky to have sis so close to us. Always willing to lend a helping hand and always willing to take my kids on a fun adventure. I feel so blessed, I really do feel so blessed to have her here. We are one lucky family!!

We are blessed!

He Is A Businessman

We attended a birthday party this weekend and there was a clown there making balloon animals. Today I took Linkin with me to Longs and he picked out a balloon animal making kit. As soon as we got in the car he was working on how to make different animals.

Once we got home and could really get into it (found instructions on youtube). We were able to make a flower, dog, sword and Linkin self tought rat he was ready to be in business. He was making them with prices and planning a date and time of our grand opening.

I tell you he is a real salesman. So far we have had "Sneakers BBQ", a lemonade stand and a school fundrasier that he was so excited about. He is all about the sales baby! He has had many other wonderful idea of how to sell things. I try as much as possible to allow him to follow out his dreams. So we may be setting up a animal balloon shop in the front yard before the winter hits.

What a wonderful kid! I sure got lucky!

Word Baby #3

Seth and I are proud to announce that we are expecting Word Baby #3!

I am not really sure how far a long I am. I see the doctor next week.

This was a plan pregnancy we just didn't know it would happen so soon. When you give God an chance he takes it!

Linkin is so excited he can't belive it.

Sadie...well, she don't quite understand it all yet.

The morning sickness (aka all day sickness) is getting the best of me at this point. I haven't been able to keep much down. Yuck! I was sick like this with Linkin...maybe a boy? I hope that the sickness will subside soon so I am resume normal activity.

We are all looking forward to the new addition to our family!
