Update...

It seems like this past week and half I have been running around with a million things to do each and Every day. With Having the 2 kids...plus getting things ready for the Ward Christmas Party (I am on the activities committee).. and keeping the house clean has been crazy..Plus I've had a lot of clients wanting their hair done before the holidays. I never feel like I've accomplished everything on my list. It's been nice being this busy... When I hit the pillow.. I'm OUT. So it's been awhile so I thought I would share what's going on...

Kiel has been super busy with work due to the holidays and the beautiful weather down here.. a lot of people Barbecuing... so whenever he's home he is past out on the couch or eating one of his 2 meals for the day.. poor guy.. But I am so proud of him. It's been rough with the economy being so slow.. which just means that people are buying the cheaper bread... so he is working much harder for a lot less... which sucks but he has been good about keeping a positive attitude. Love you babe!!

Connor has been potty trained for 3ish weeks now and is doing great!!! Yesterday and Today though he's been a little under the weather... and poor guy.. has had some diarrhea so it's been hard for him to run to the potty in time... He gets the saddest look on his face when he doesn't make it in time. But totally understandable... he's doing great. Other than potty training Connor is also getting used to sleeping in his Queen size bed alone... most nights he thinks that when daddy leaves for work around 12am that he is allowed to come and snuggle with mommy. One night I was so tired I never heard him come in... When Chloe woke up i found Connor in Kiel's spot snoring like crazy... I just laughed and kissed him. He's such a cute little guy I can't resist.

My Little Miss Chloe... is doing great!!! She has been sleeping through the night this week. Last night she slept from 9:30pm to 6:30am which is Awesome... being only 3.5 months I'm impressed. Connor was a Great sleeper as well. I've been really lucky to have such good little sleepers! She is laughing and smiling like crazy. Also she has figured out how to "talk"... we have our girl talk now and she loves it! She just melts my heart.

Things are good at the Wendelschafer house! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving in Las Vegas tomorrow and Christmas in Park City!!!

I know she loves her big brother Connor.. he makes her smile and giggle but I'm sure she wishes he would leave her alone while she's sleeping:) She's my sweetheart.. she's such a happy baby!

Exciting Changes

Yesterday due to not feeling great and Kiel having a lot of work to do... we skipped out on church. My Mom took the day as a challenge to start my potty training efforts. I was going to start Monday morning but I was so glad I had her help and support. We worked with him a little on Saturday but Sunday morning we were "serious!" Before I lazily crawled out of bed Sunday morning Connor had already had 2 accidents with my mom so when I got downstairs I didn't let her put a pair of underwear on him. He ran around all day with just a tee shirt on. He's been doing really great! Just a couple little accidents on Sunday and today he's done even better! I just hope he doesn't expect to run around naked the rest of his life:)
This is the "potty chart" I made for Connor. He didn't get it at first but the first time he filled up each box with a sticker and the "prize box" came out it clicked!! Now every time we put a sticker up we count how many more we need for a prize. He counts to 10 really well now!
Our 2nd change was moving the queen size bed into Connor's room. Which was my original plan so I'm glad it has worked out. While my Mom was in town Connor enjoyed being spoiled...He got to snuggle with her every night!!! He misses her soo much!!! He's a great sleeper so I wasn't worried but we thought he was ready to have that bed in his room for now on. We moved it up against the wall just in case he rolled over... he would roll onto that built in bench. He loves his room!!! Thanks for all your help Grandma! We love you!!

Miss Chloe's room after we moved out the bed and set up her crib!! She'll be moving in soon enough!!

~*Halloween*~

After my surgery on Thursday I was soo grateful my Mom had flown into town to help... It was rougher than I had predicted... I thought it was amusing.... but the one thing I remember coming out of the anesthesia was asking the nurses over and over again for my mom (Kiel was finishing up at work). I felt like a little kid again asking for my Mommy. But she came in ASAP and helped me get out of the hospital as soon as I was able. Which was my game plan... after surgery I left 3 hours later... I came home and slept for a couple of hours in a quiet home. So Nice!!! Anyways.... Mom did an amazing job taking care of the babies and me!!! We already miss her soo much! Thank you everyone for your love and support! Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. Everything went smoothly! Saturday night I was so sick of being "sick" so all drugged up we went out trick or treating with our best bud Logan! Connor had a blast running from house to house getting candy. After each house he would look up at me and say "More?" It was a fun night. I was barely walking straight but it was nice to be out of the house in the beautiful weather.
Connor and his BFF Logan! He was a Horse and Connor was a Chef
Little Miss Chloe as a Tomato was loving Grandma pushing
her around all night in the stroller.
I love it here in Arizona a lot of the people sit out on their drive ways to hand out candy
it makes it a little easier for the kids!!

Connor loved this house and the HUGE pumpkin and ghosts!!
