Okay so I need to take away Graden's binky soon. He is 14 months old and it is time. With Dagen I just clipped the end of the binky and he refused to take it anymore. So I tried that with Graden and he still sucks on it. Does anyone have an idea on how I can eliminate the binky?
I am really having a hard time taking it away because Chad said that he will be our last one. And that just makes him still a baby to me if he still has the binky. Maybe I am crazy, but I just don't want him to grow up if he is the last baby in the Bringhurst Clan!
If you have any ideas, please leave a comment and let me know!
Thanks!

Dagen's First Day of Kindergarten
Today Dagen started Kindergarten.
I dropped the two boys off at my moms and took Dagen to his first day all by himself. He was so excited. We got there and they gave him a list of things to do with me before I left. We had to find where his backpack goes, find his cubby, find his name on the attendance board, weigh and measure him, put his name on a candle for his birthday month, and find where he will be sitting at his table. He was so excited that he got to decorate a visor while he waited for all the kids and parents to finish with their projects. I think he will have a great year in school, he has an awesome teacher, Mrs. Barber! She interacts well the kids. I can't believe how fast my lil buddy grew up. I love you, and I am so proud of you!

This Looks Fun!!
I got this from Crystal's blog. What a fun idea. So here it goes.
HERE ARE THE RULES NO CLEANING, STRAIGHTENING UP OR CLEANING YOUR KIDS UP YOU HAVE TO JUST TAKE THE PICTURES AND DEAL WITH IT........
1 - Picture of Kitchen Sink
Good thing I just did my lunch dishes before reading your blog!!
2 - Bathrooms
Tub and Toilet in kids bathroom - good thing it isn't under construction anymore.
Sink in the kids bathroom, just needs things hung on the wall!
Master Bath
Downstairs Bathroom - this just got finished also, so it still needs some decorating done on it!
3 - Laundry Room
This is part of the downstairs bathroom also. So i can't allow it to get too messy!
4 - Fridge
Now that is a mess! I guess it is time to clean it out!
5 - What Are The Kids doing Right Now?
Dagen is playing with Taite, Ashley's daughter, in the play room!
Logen is suppose to be going down for his nap!! YEAH!
Graden is suppose to be going down for a nap also! YEAH Again!
6 - Favorite Shoes
My brown flip flops that I have had for three years. But I just love them!
7 - Favorite Room in the House
This is our family room, we spend a lot time rough housing in this room!
8 - Master Closet
I think I need a bigger closet! Sigh!
That is my home! Maybe one day soon we will have a new one that is a bit more organized! Is that possible?

Cabin Fever
The weekend before school started we went to Strawberry to the cabin. We just purchased a new toy for us, so we went to try it out.
The New Toy!
At last minute Jen, Bridger, Dagen and I decided to go to Park City shopping for some school clothes. We called my friend Erica and met her in Heber to go for some fun shopping. We got some great deals and the kids were great. Since we were in Park City we decided to go on the Alpine Slide. Bridger was funny, he was nervous on the lift up and was biting his nails. But I think he had a great time, despite the nervousness. Dagen giggled and squealed the whole way down. We had a great time. Thanks Jen and Erica for a great time.

This past weekend we went back up to the cabin and took the kids for a long ride on the Rhino. This pic is taken through a windshield, so it is not very good. But they sat right next to each other the whole time, it was really cute.
Chad enjoying the ride and looking for deer!
Dagen and Logen decided to run through the sprinkers while we were at the cabin this last weekend. We didn't pack bathing suits though so what see is what ya get. Yes, Logen is nude!
I did post the pic that doesn't show anything though! They had a great time and were loving every minute of it. However I was freezing for them, the water was so cold. But kids don't care.

Owls Game
One of our suppliers for work offered our family tickets to the Owlz game. So we took the whole family and went for a night out. The kids were more interested in getting treats then watching the game. (no brainer) So we stayed about half the game and went home. My brother Brent and his family was there also and they stayed keeping Dagen to help entertain Easton. The kids met the Owl and I think they actually enjoyed doing something out of the ordinary. But I would suggest just taking older kids only to the game. Logen and Graden weren't loving it. Here are some pics of our eventful evening!

Antonino - Bleggi Family Reunion
We went down by Fountain Green for a family reunion this weekend. It was a bit hot but we finally got a chance to use our new house trailer. At the family reunion they do races with the kids in age groups and then they let them go through sawdust to find candy and money. The kids love it. After all that fun they rented a blow up waterslide for the kids (and some adults). While they were going down the slide, Logen was soaking wet (obviously) and Chad told him to go and give his Uncle Nino and big hug. Logen gave him a hug and everytime he got off the slide would go and hug him making Uncle Nino soaking wet also. It was so cute. One time he fell and got mud all over his hands and hugged him making Nino's shirt all muddy.
Chad is half Italian so they have an Italian dinner during the reunion called Palenta (may be spelled wrong). They cover it with stew and serve it with italian sausage cooked with cabbage, spaghetti, salad, and bread. The family looks forward to this meal every year. And my kids actually liked it. I was kind of surprised, I think it is an aquired taste. I will eat it, but I am not in love with it.
We had a great time, getting to see everyone again.

Muttin Bustin
At Tuesday's Fiesta Days Rodeo, Dagen did the preshow Muttin Bustin. He had many supporters there to watch him. Dagen was all cowboyed up with the Wrangler Jeans, boots, and a new cowboy hat. He was so nervous to get on that sheep. But he got on and rode like the wind, well until his hat fell off after about a second. He was so worried about his hat that he just let go so he could get it. Darn it, I thought he was going to ride across the arena. Oh well, I just proud of him for getting on the sheep in the first place.
Dagen is getting a pep talk from his dad, before he gets on the sheep.
Dagen getting on the sheep - a bit nervous - but excited!!
Dagen all done riding - I thought I took pics of him on the ride, but they were all of the ground, I must not have been paying too much attention to the camera!
A few random pics of the rodeo! I thought that it was a really good show this year. I really like it when they get The Wild Child to perform. My kids loved the motorcycle performance. I never got any pics of that though. Also my step brother, Jordan, does team roping and he competed that same night, so we got to watch him also. It was a 2 for 1.
Dagen and Logen enjoying the show!
Graden loved watching the horses, he just pointed the whole time.
Dagen, Logen and Bridger - I think they forgot they were at the RODEO!! Not the biker convention!

Fondue Night
I just wanted to tell Nicky THANKS for a great fondue night. A bunch of cousins all got together, each bringing something to contribute for the delicious event. We made four different cheese fondues and had a variety of things to dunk in them. It was fantabulous!! After alot of cheese and full tummy they pulled out the desserts. There was a chocolate, caramel and white chocolate with cinnamon fondues. We dipped all sorts of yummy treats. By this time we were so full we couldn't move.
So thanks to Nicky for hosting a great party and inviting me to participate. I had a great time. It is always good to catch up with everyone.

Swimming Lessons
We started swimming lessons last week with Abbie. My kids love it. They talk all year long about swim lessons and Abbie. Everytime we go past her moms house they always let me know that that is where they take swimming lessons. Here are a few pics of the kids.
Dagen just hanging out of the pool. And then Dagen jumping off the diving board.
Logen does mommy and me classes, this is him swimming with me. And then the last pic is him just being goofy. He found these goggles in the basket. Wow!
Graden also does mommy and me classes. Thanks to Abbie for helping out with this. Logen and Graden get to be in the same class.
