The wonderful world of potty training

About 4 months ago I posted that we had bought a potty training chair for Kenadee. She liked it for the first two days and then did not really care for it. I was being kinda lazy and not really wanting to do it. I kept going back and forth with it and not being real commited. Finally I pulled my self together and decided that I just needed to do it and I am proud to say it has paid off! Kenadee is offically potty trained!!! I am so happy, of course we have accidents but that is expected and she does wear diapers for nap time and bed time. I can take her out in public and she does fine. This morning Kenadee took her self to the bathroom and wiped herself and everything. That was very exciting!

SHE IS HERE!!!

Rylee Nicole Colon was born at 2:55 pm today (July 11, 2008). She weighed 7lbs 3 oz and 20 1/2 in. long. She has got ALOT beautiful black hair and it has a slight curl. She is so cute! Mom and baby are doing well. Alicia got the baby out in a push and half (actually she was clearing her throat and the babies head came out so really she only pushed once).

Her brothers are so excited for her to be here. They could not give her enough kisses.

Can you tell Kenadee got a little bored at the hospital.(She is not sleeping in the picture she is just being silly)


Baby Rylee hours old. We thought the headband was so cute that we had to put it on her for the picture.

I Love My Family!

This week for FHE we went took Kenadee to Temple Square and she loved it. I love going there. When Dave and I lived in Salt Lake we lived really close to Temple Square so we would go there often, but of course since we have moved away we don't go as much.

I love my little family so much and love spending time with them. I have come across to blogs in the past few weeks that are really sad. Both families lost their babies to a tragic accident. As I have read their blogs I have been so touched and have been reminded of what is important in life and to not take the days and moments I have with my family for granted. I am grateful for my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the peace and joy it brings to my life. I find great joy and comfort in knowing that I can be with Dave and Kenadee for eternity.

As I have read these blogs I am working on being more positive when Kenadee cries in the middle of the night. Instead of being irritated I try to find joy in hearing her cry and express grated to my Heavenly Father for giving me another day with her and then I go in her room hold her sing her a song and take another opportunity to tell her how much I love her.

There really is no greater joy than motherhood ( I love being a wife as well, I have the best husband but there is so much fulfillment in motherhood). I am so blessed!
