The FOUR of us lol

Well I haven't posted in FOREVER....our family is doing GREAT we live in Cedar now instead of Kanarra. My kids are getting SOOOO big Bayti is now in 2nd grade and Kye in Kindergarten. They both go to Three Peaks Elementary and they are liking it there. Bayti is having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to the new school and misses East Elem a lot but I'm sure after awhile meeting new friends she will like it just as well.....I hope :-/

Well with just getting over the Halloween holiday.....which did it seem like it was kinda drug out this year for anyone else?? It was a good thing for the kids but for mom it was new day face painting AGAIN lol and costumes..."mommy do I look good" lol don't you just love kids and the innocent things that they worry about. Hmmm it would be nice to be that carefree :-)

Now Thanksgiving is coming up and I am excited for this one especially because last year I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital after one of my 13 brain surgeries...YUCK I do not suggest it for anyone hahaha. I have recently got the internet back after like a year and let me tell you I will NEVER take advantage of having the internet at my fingertips...literally. So anyway I am new to Face Book and sadly have to admit addicted UGH but....one good thing is that I am posting one thing daily that I am thankful for, an idea of someone else's so please don't give me the credit but I'm loving it.

I'm still not Blogger savvy so you will all have to be patient with me while I try to figure this out AND make it cute. So I'm going to try to post some new pictures and maybe even a new background.....no round of applause yet let's see if I can do it!

Single parenting

Okay so my last post said I was getting the hang of the whole single mom thing.....okay all I can say is it must have been a REALLY good day! Because at this second I am so in need of a break, now I know why God made it mandatory to have 2 people to conceive a child! You know it's kinda sad that I was going to say man and woman but this day in age it isn't like that anymore what is going to come next?!?!?!

Okay different topic that is a little more upbeat. I sooo want to do this blog thing but I have having some SERIOUS struggles hahaha I want to update my page with a cuter layout and post my friends on the side like the rest of you normal people do and some other cute stuff but I think I need someone to sit next to me and walk me through it, yes I am serious!

Well Bayti started 1st grade on Aug. 14th and she has Mrs. Wininger which she already knows too well considering that Mrs. Wininger's daughter Morgan has babysat Bayti and Kye for years. My biggest worry with Bayti was that she would call her teacher Mary but she made the transition really well as a matter of fact since she got Mrs. Wininger for a teacher that is the only thing she has called her is Mrs. Wininger; sigh of relief for me! The first couple of days were a little overwhelming for Bayti, she didn't say they were I could just tell by her tears from EVERY little thing! Girls.....so dramatic!!! She is doing fine now though and getting so big every day!
Kye started school on Aug. 25th. I was soooo worried about him going to school because like I said before he is very energetic...to say the least. But his teacher Mrs. Jordan assured me that Kye is a VERY good student in school, one of the best in the class; HUGE sigh of relief!!!
I really thought I would have sooo much time with both of the kids being in school, I had plans to do sooo much! But having to drive Kye in and pick him up seems like it takes the whole day, it doesn't help that I live in Kanarra.

Well hopefully I will have new posts more often but I can't promise anything hahaha So I hope it was worth your minute to stop and read! Have a good one!!!

Let's try this again

Okay so I'm trying to do this blog thing but I have to say I'm not too good at it hahahahaha. The picture I put on was supposed to be of Kye on his bike moving out but as you can see it didn't quite work out so lets see if I can even do this.

Well my 4th of July was AWESOME it was me and the kids, our first holiday just the three of us, I'm really getting the hang of this single parenting stuff and I have to say I actually like it!!

I'm supposed to be going to St. George to get some hair color but I'm such a procrastinator that I haven't even got in the shower, uh yeah it's like 12:38 hahaha
Oh well the kids are having a good time watching a movie and besides that I don't know who to call to babysit. So my friend Bonnie who has WAY too much talent has a WAY cute blog and I totally feel like mine is generic! So help me Bon!!! Because I don't know how to do this stuff!

I hope all of your summer is going well, mine has been good, lazy and kicked back but good. I'm trying to plan a BBQ for my b-day, yes you read it right I'm having my own bbq for my b-day..... hey somebody has to do it! And who better? I know it will be fun at least HAhahaha. Some volleyball, friends, kids.....maybe couldn't be better right! The summer is FLYING by. I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and they already have the school supplies out! CRAZY!!! Bayti is going to be in 1st grade and Kye is going to be in Head Start I am soooo excited for both of them! And I pray Kye does well in school he is the typical rowdy boy ya know. Speaking of Kye I need to sign off so I can get him laying down for his nap, the little stinker I've told him to lay down like 6 times! Well I'll write more later hope you enjoy my random thoughts. Love much,Dayna

No idea how to do this blog

Well I'm starting my very first blog! I've only seen 3 total; 1 is my friend Bonnie who is totally creative, artistic and has way too much talent, #2 is another friend Lisa who by seeing her home and her cute blog page is also VERY creative, and #3 my sis whom has a pretty plain page but some really FUNNY titles and blogs so lets just say I'm a LITTLE intimidated! So those of you that look at this and have pitty for me, drop me a note or 2 with some suggestions........okay :-)
Today has been a typical boring day at the Dutton house, a house that DESPERATELY needs cleaning (but I just can't fing the motivation) and kids that are already bored out of there minds because school is out! What the heck it's only been like a week!!!! Well we did have one new interesting thing happen today, Kye decided he was ready to "move out" and after he let me know how much he didn't like me because I made him clean his room "and that's just mean!" and a few other choice words that my dear little 4 year old son said, well I was ready for him to move out too! LOL So after Auntie denied him living at her home and g-ma following with the same result he decided "I guess I'll just live at the park" now mind you he has no shirt on and a back pack full of "necessary things"........toys and he was ready to go. He was packed up with his stuffed animals tied to the side of his bike and he was ready to go. He looked like Dennis the Menace on the movie LOL! I told him we would try one more place, grandma-ma's and to his surprise g-ma-ma agreed to take the little wayward in! We dropped him off and decided to go for a small ride around town and low and behold guess who called g-ma-ma, Kye wanted to go back to moms house......it had only been like maybe 15 min tops! So we picked him up and found that he needed to use the bathroom and wasn't going to "poop" at g-ma-ma's anyway longer story short he decided home wasn't so bad. LOL
