Happy 18 Months

These are our most recent pictures of our daughter, Kaylin. She was 18 mths in September.

PoTaTo PaL

So my work is kinda crazy and we celebrate all kinds of Holidays like "Tooth Fairy Day" "Jump for Jellybeans Day" etc. The latest is Potato Day, so my boss had us all decorate a potato for the contest tomorrow. Here's my creation.

THUMB SUCKING AAAHH!!

So Kaylin is now 18 months and we have decided to try and wean her from thumb sucking, a tall order, I know. So the doctor gave us "Mavala Stop" to use. You basically put it on like nail polish on her thumbs. The doctor said to do it while she's sleeping. Yesterday she had fallen asleep in her car seat on the way home, so I decided to put the Mavala Stop on before I put her in bed. That was a TERRIBLE IDEA cause she kinda woke up, put her thumb in her mouth and started screaming and crying. The taste must be Horrible since she threw up three times and wouldn't take a nap. She did suck her thumb less, but hopefully we won't have to use it very long.

Missing Purse Dilemma

Hey all again!! Tyler has been doing the posting for the last little while, so I thought it was time for me to write again.

A few Thursdays ago I had a nightmare when my purse went missing. I took my car to the shop and somehow between my time at the shop and my next stop, McDonalds, my purse went missing. My mom had picked me up from the car repair shop and we had my sister's two kids and my daughter, Kaylin, with us. I noticed I didn't have my purse when we were going into McDonald's, but figured it was in the car. It wasn't in the car when we came out and it wasn't at the car place either (we called and Tyler went and checked my car and the shop). I was also watching my friend's son, Shane, a little later on, so at one point my mom and I were taking care of four kids and trying to get things straightened out. Tyler and I had tons of fun changing accounts and ordering new cards of just about everything. Luckily, no money was taken.

Sleepwalking like a pro!!!

Lately, Kaylin has been feeling just a bit under the weather. It always happens when I get a little bit busy too. I was doing the Grant Thorton Footsteps Experience. That 3 day event was a real introduction to the company and helped a few of us college students see what was available in the future. It went 3 days and consisted of some dinners and such too.

Anyway, Kaylin couldn't go to sleep very well, so I held her in the bean bag. Those of you who have been to our house know that the bean bag is down stairs. Well, I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up in the bed next to my wife. I asked Lori where the baby was in the first few minutes. I guess I sleptwalked by carrying the baby there. That would have consisted of getting out of the bag, openning the baby gate, walking two small flights of stairs, putting her in the crib, and getting in bed next to my wife with no tripping or loud sounds.

It's a mystery I can't explain.

The Greatest Swim Race Ever!!!

Many of you probably saw the Men's 4X100 Meter Relay on Sunday Night. I felt as if this was the greatest Race I have seen. When America came back to win it in the last couple meters, I shouted so loud. I'm surprised the baby didn't wake up. That showed lots of heart, and American Pride. This will be one of the greatest Olympic moments That I'll Remember for sure.

In case you missed it, here's a link to the NBC broadcast. It's Fabulous.

Enjoy!!

The Office All Nighter

Tyler Speaking. You know how people can't put down a good book. I dont read to many books, so putting down a good TV Show was hard for me. Thursday, I went to buy The Office, Season 3 around 10PM at Target, along with some Strawberry Milk. That Milk must of had some strong caffine or something because I almost watched the whole season all night. Around 6:30AM, I decided to take a small 2 hour nap and watch a bit more episodes before getting to work at my usual start time of 11:00 AM. The next night was some good sleeping to say the least.
