It's Gone!

Tyler is now fully pacifier FREE! And get this it was the most easiest thing to do. We cut it and gave it to him and he hated it. He lost interest in it and gave  it up the first night. I could not believe it. (I highly recommend the cutting the tip of it.)  So that is one more thing crossed off the list. Now we will be working on him sleeping in his own room all night. Then by his birthday potty training. I'm not wanting to rush him to much on the potty thing. Now if we could work on his temper and attitude problems we would be go to go. Lets see other Tyler news. He is now talking up a storm. He has never been much of a chatty one. But here lately that's all he does. It's so cute. He is saying a lot more words. And it is clear. Also after he high fives he now  does knuckles. He is a ball of energy.

Job Less & TX

We are going back on the road or should I say moving to Texas for awhile. Derek is out of a  job. We have prayed and put applications in but nothing has opened up. So it looks like we will be going to Abilene within the next two weeks or so. I have been sick over it. We have thought and talked each tiny option out but nothing else has seemed right. So last night I broke down and started looking at apartments and town homes. I have a list of places and will be making the calls. This is a huge change coming at us and could use all the prayers we can get. We will still have our house in OK. Until we figure out what is next. I was looking at weather and they are already in the 80's. I am wanting to die in more ways then one. Derek is going to be working long hours. Either 6days a week 12hours a day. Or 10 days on 4 off 14 hour days . Both super sorry. So a lot of the time it will just be me and Tyler. I am still praying and believing that the lord has the perfect job for us. But it is just in his timing.

Terrible Two's

Has hit! I have seen it coming but  it hadn't been real bad.  Disciplining was working but now has no effect on him. Well we are in full force now. I am so worn out already and it has only started. I feel so bad because it seems all I do is discipline. Getting onto him 24/7 makes me feel awful.  I have really been trying to keep him busy so he wouldn't have much free time for trouble. Its helping some but not all. In his free time while I was fixing lunch he manage to climb up and get the fish food and dump it all out. Then come show me what he did. Grrr. Pull all the wipes out of the case and rip them into pieces. And get the Kleenex box and rip everyone of those.  Then comes the fit throwing. The worst of all. I really can handle all the little messes. But the fit throwing is the final straw. It's over dumb things like his shoe not going on, the ball not going in the hoop to  me telling him no about something and him getting mad. He has not done it in public and I pray he never does. Otherwise we will be finding the nearest bathroom! I know I must and will get threw this but it isn't gonna be easy.

First Pet

So Tyler got his first pet over the weekend. His daddy was feeling very nice and offered to get him one. I was shocked! Because this guy doesn't do any pets. He is anti pets. But the little boy is breaking him down one step at a time.So here is Lenny.  Tyler loves him. He runs to the tank every morning when we get done brushing are teeth and we feed him together.  And then Tyler and daddy give him a snack before bed. Ha. He is going to be the fatty. Tyler has done really good to not hit the tank or stress the little guy out. He gets so excited. So all around everyone is happy with the new little addition.  I'm hope that we will be able to break daddy down and get a puppy this summer for Tyler's 2nd birthday. Tyler loves all animals. And gets so happy when he gets to see any. I think a zoo membership will be in order this year. And the petting zoo will be the main stop. We may have a zoologist on our hands.

Could It Be?

Spring is coming. We have had warm weather these past few days and the next week is looking to be warm to. Yesterday I got out my flip flops and capri's. Loved it. Now the the dreaded summer shopping for Tyler is coming.  The poor kid is gonna have a rough summer. It was 69 out and he had on his OU jersey, pants, and flip flops and was hot. He takes after his momma. So it looks like the job Derek is on will last another month. Then who knows. Texas is still on the table then there is Kansas. Now there has be talk of California. He has also got his resume done up so these next few days are gonna be apply, apply, apply. We are praying the lord will open the perfect door  for us.  So Tyler boy. He is a mess! We are having the hardest time keeping him clothed. He feels the need to strip down and run free. I had a friend over this past weekend and had to pre apologize for his behavior. Just in case it happen before I got to him. Like when he is playing in his bedroom and comes flying up the hall naked! AHHH that boy.

Round 2

Of cabin fever. We are having another blizzard. With just as much snow. But what makes it bad is we still had the snow from last week. lol But we are going to try and make the best out of it.We plan to go make a snowman. And maybe go sledding.  I'm really kicking myself about not going to the movie store last night=( I guess it's DVD series, movies, and hulu. I'm just thankful Derek is home with me this time. Poor Tyler is going crazy. I wish they had indoor play places here in town. He needs to run, jump, and play. He is a boy full of energy trapped in the house.

Cabin Fever

Nothing like a good old blizzard. We got around 18 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. With 4-6 foot snow drifts. We are completely snowed in. And the worst part is Derek is off in another state working in this mess. With the flu I might add. Tyler is going crazy climbing walls. I am right there with him. We do not do good confined. Every turnpike was closed down yesterday and all of Tulsa was shut down. Crazy Okies don't do well with snow. Being from CO it is no big deal. And makes  me laugh.  I am ready for a vacation to somewhere warm and lots of outdoor activity's.
