Thank you so much to everyone who commented about Grant's sleeping. I really appreciated hearing what other people do! We decided to wean Grant from his binky starting last Sunday night. He had three binkies and he "helped" us throw them away in the garbage. We talked about how he was a big boy now. (He kept repeating what we were saying, but I'm pretty sure he didn't quite understand.) Then I let him have a little treat before bed. :) 
We did the regular bedtime routine but that night I let him have his stuffed dog. (He calls it "Buddy.") He cried for about 20 minutes, but it actually went really well. Naptime on Monday was another story. He cried for 1 1/2 hours and never fell asleep!! I was practically crying, too. But each day got better thanks to lots of prayers and last night he didn't even cry when he went to bed. He held his little dog and went right to sleep. And the good news- out of the last five nights, he's only woken up once! It is so nice to have him sleep through the night! He's asked about his binky a few times, but he usually says "All gone?" He has done pretty well in the car and grocery shopping. He is just growing up!Other news- we went to Kelly's last Saturday night with our ward. Tyson skied and I snowboarded. It had been 4 years since I'd been, and 10 years for Tyson!! We had SO much fun and I can't want to go again!! Grant stayed at Grandma's- thanks Mom and Dad!
And I think some of you already know this, but Tyson took a new job, so we are moving. Well at least we are going to put our house for sale. It was definitely the right decision for us, but not necessarily an easy one. :) We really love our house and where we are at, so it will be an adjustment. Tyson starts in March and will commute (1 hour each way, on a good day) until we sell the house. I've been attempting to make our home look more decorated, so thank you to everyone who has given me ideas and helped us. It's coming along and maybe I'll post some pictures in awhile. Isn't that pathetic that I didn't do much of anything on our house until we decided to had to sell it!? Ha! Well, wish us luck!

What! Moving! Where? Oh man I have been such a bad friend by not keeping in better contact. I am so sorry!
GOOD LUCK!!! We have our house up for sale now too, and it's a little sad to leave after you're used to everything! That's exciting though; best of luck!
I'm glad the binky thing worked out. My babies don't take binkies, which is bad at 4 or 5 months, great after a year old. Jack started waking up more at night recently and I just nurse him. I know that's gonna get old fast, but I'm too tired to do anything else. I'm not as tough as you! Are you gonna be in Poky?
Hey, I am sad! You're one of my favorite gals! I'm happy for you guys though, if it is what you wanted:)
Wow! I didn't know that! We'll have to find out where his new job is (which direction an hour from you. I'm guessing south.) That's neat! But it's also sad to move on after probably just feeling settled. Good luck with everything! And I'm glad to hear things went so well with the binky.
Wow Kristine!!! Where are you moving to?? I have some major catching up to do. :P Tell Tyson congrats on his new job!
I hadn't heard that you are moving... how sad. It has been so much fun to have you as a friend. You will have to keep blogging so we can see what is going on with your cute family. When are you planning on moving? And where to? Good luck with everything and keep in touch!
Congrats on the binky thing...that's a pretty big accomplishment. And dun dun dun- your big announcement. If you need any help, let me know. We still need to get together and let our kids play!
