Yippe!

It has been a month of moving furniture.

First I decided that I wanted another sofa in my living room. I looked all over for a sofa that would match what we had. The company that made our sofa went out of business so we were unable to buy another. We had one delivered but, I hated it so we sent it back. I thought Royd was going to kill me. Then we notices some scratches on our couch. We had a leather protection so we made a claim. They couldn't repair it and couldn't replace it so they gave us a store credit for the amount of the purchase. Cool right? Wrong! I couldn't find anything at the store I liked. My sweet sweet hubby let me get couches I do like from another store. He is so sweet (wait till you read the rest.) He said we can always save the store credit to buy something else we NEED later. I was sold. The next day he wanted to go to look at things at the store we had a credit at. We ended up coming out with a new TV! I think I have been taken advantage of. Oh well at least I got new couches out of the deal.

No one wanted to get off the couch for me to take the picture. Those couch potatoes!

What do you think?

I am still looking for a big square table in the center. I also need ideas for my wall with windows and the wall above the stairs. If you see anything let me know. Maybe I will have my whole house decorated by the time I retire. Yea right! I change my mind too much.



Love Ya

I Have Other Children Too

So, Royd was looking at the blog and said, "Do you only write about Dace. Is this his very own blog?" I think he is right I have been neglecting to give updates about my other children. So here it goes.

Taya, wants to plan the biggest birthday blast ever (as everyone knows she is my party planner.) I feel sorry for her because her mom is not very good at following through with her fantabulus plans. She will be 7 on March 22. What she doesn't know is that her mom has made HUSH-HUSH plans with cousin Jamie to get her a fabo gift.

Reese claims not to like wrestling but, is really excited to go to practice every Tuesday and Thursday. As expected is very good at it. He doesn't want to go to tournaments this year. He says he doesn't like to wrestle people he doesn't know. Who can blame him. He's had a thumb put down on him at school and he is not getting away with as much as he was. He has such mean parents.

Quade has had a big month of firsts. He had his first Valentines dance. He was not very excited. He did a mean Macerena (Is that spelled right? Where is a synonym when you need it.) His two step needed a little work. It looked more like a walking push across the floor till you hit the wall. I t tried to get some good blackmail pics but he was on to me. Every time I pulled out the camera he hid behind is partner.

Quade also has a couple of great cousins. Erica and Latara took him to Brianhead on is first attempt at snow boarding. He had a blast. Thank you Erica and Latara we owe you big time.

Well ,I hope my blog looks a Little more well rounded now. I also will get some real pics posted of these events as soon as I can. Yeah, I know you were all really impressed with Quade's skills.

I Think The War is Finally Over (Knock on Wood)

Well after 2 months of gruelling torture, I believe the war is over. Dace has decided to be a big boy and do the right thing, use the potty. He never really wanted to use the potty, he loved his diapers. We tried everything to get him to want to use the potty. I even acted like a fool dancing around the house singing every time he had a successful trip to the bathroom. We bribed him with candy and toys (like all good parents do.) It seemed that nothing was going to work. He threw a royal tantrum when I told him I was not going to buy anymore diapers. "You buy me diapers! You buy me diapers!" he yelled over and over. I was begining to feel that all was lost. I kept telling myself all would be fine if we could just get him potty trained before kindergarten.

I am glad to report it has been almost 2 weeks since his last accident. He has even been making it all night. I do believe the war is over. I just hope there are no belated battles. I cross my fingers that his aim is better than Reese's.
