So Small by Carrie Underwood

Just heard this song and was mesmerized. The actual video for it really goes well with the song too. This one made by someone on YouTube did a pretty good job though. Just listen to the words....

Some Light Reading

So, to help in the never ending process that is potty training....we had purchased an Elmo Potty DVD for Kenzee to watch hoping it would help her understand and want to wear panties instead of diapers. yeah...it didn't so much. She does LOVE to watch the movie though. And every time we watch it, she will go sit on the potty and at least "try" to go. She doesn't really try, but at least she'll sit. Baby steps, right? Well, this morning, Jaysen was watching it with her, and that led to her wanting to sit on the potty.

When I walked in....this is what I saw. Jaysen told me that she wanted to take them with her to the potty. I assume she was needing some entertainment while she waited for something to happen. :0) Which, of course, nothing did. But at least she got in some good reading!

October Birthdays

So, in my family October is "the month" for birthdays. There are six, just in the Robinson family. It's insane! We start with my neice, Savanna, and then it's my mom's turn, followed by Mackenzee, and then comes my sister Melanie, with my nephews Austin and Jon at the end of the month. Crazy! So, everyone came this last weekend for conference and to celebrate my mom's birthday which is today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

And since we were all together, we decided to have one BIG birthday party on Saturday. We did have a special little party for just Savanna as her birthday was on Friday, but after wards it was chaos as the rest of the kids opened up their birthday presents.

It was so nice to have EVERYONE there this time. We haven't all been together like this since Christmas last year. All 24 of us, soon to be 25. Who'd have thunk it? ;0) Anyway...we had a blast, the kids wore themselves out...and good times were had by everyone. (I was so good and took my camera to my mom's house on Saturday so that I could take a lot of pictures, but when I went to take them I realized that I had forgotten my memory card. It was still plugged into the computer. Sigh. So, I was only able to take pictures on Sunday for my mom's party. Though it looks totally chaotic in the picture, which it was, it's one of my favorites. It just shows how much the kids love their Nana. Totally swarming her so they could be close to her. Of course, the excitement of what she was unwrapping was part of it too....but still.)

Family Fun Night!

Jaysen wanted to take the kids out golfing on Monday night for Family Home Evening, but the weather was not really cooperating with us. So, we decided to go tonight instead. Mackenzee has never been to the golf course before, so this was her maiden voyage.

She used Landon's old putter (it's the only club left that he didn't break) and Jaysen showed her how to play the game. She enjoyed herself thoroughly.

Landon still has a great swing. Well, at least for as often as he actually goes out to golf. Which isn't enough unfortunately.

And then afterwards we went over to Jaysen's parents house to visit. They have a little pumpkin patch in their backyard, and so they let the kids each pick out a pumpkin to take home.

Mackenzee is now in love with the orange ball. She is carrying it all over my house. I'm waiting for her to drop it and have it shatter pumpkin guts and seeds all over my house. Sigh.

Gotta love fall!

Two Front Teeth

Though a little late in getting the photo taken....at least we've got something to show that all four Burnham boys were missing their two front teeth at the same time. From left to right is: Jesse, Landon, Gage, and Kaden. Jesse's two front teeth are nearly grown back in. Landon's got half of one, and missing the other. Gage's are almost back in now too, and Kaden is completely toothless up front! I guess that's what we get for having four boys all about the same age! They do have fun together! Even if none of them can whistle due to tooth loss!

Heroes

So...how many of you watched the all important first episode of Heroes last night? If you didn't watch it... FOR SHAME!!! You really missed out. So...from now on you need to make sure that you are watching NBC every Monday night at 8:00 pm. OK?

Landon is GREAT!

Look at this face.....isn't he adorable? My son scored his very first GOAL tonight at soccer. I now owe him $5. Yes, that was the bribe to get him to be a little more "active" in the games instead of more of a spectator out on the field. ;0) And, I guess it worked! He did pretty good this game, and the goal was just awesome! Straight past the goalie into the net. Good stuff! We are slightly more than proud of him! And they won their game to boot! Unfortunately we didn't take our camera to the game. I took it to the first one and you can only have SO many soccer pictures especially when they play twice a year. :0) I did take my video camera as we have yet to ever get him on video, but the battery died in the second quarter and he didn't score until the third. Oh well. Maybe he'll score again next week. Only a few more games left though!

And....finally....for those of you that have known that Landon has been missing the left front tooth for ages (literally a year), it has finally decided to start growing in! Unfortunately the other one just came out too, but at least the first hole is starting to fill in. ;0) He's waiting for the time that he can eat apples like a regular person again. ;0) He's been struggling.
