Marleys Potty

We bought Marley a potty 2 months ago and she's been toying with it ever since; taking her stuff animals potty and every now and then doing so herself. BUT last week she decided she was ready. Wednesday night she went by herself with out saying anything. I walked in on her, she stood up and sayed pee pee mommy and totally had gone all on her own. I was so dang HAPPY!! Thursday we went to Coles and had a big girl and boy underware day because Cole decided he was going to go by himself as well. It was so fun watching the both of them running around either naked or in their undies. Friday we went camping and she had such a blast using her travel potty and just has been doing GREAT ever since. I am so proud of her and knew you would be as well so that is why we are sharing our wonderful news. So maybe when you see her you can give her big hugs, kisses and high 5's for being such a Big Girl!!!

A Blast To The Past

TN State Fair

Yesterday we took the boys to the Tennessee State Fair and had a BLAST!!! It was so much fun to watch all the shows and see new things through Cole's two and a half year old eyes. We got to see the high diving act, motorcycle extreme show, all the cows, bunnies and animals we could stand. A carnival worker pulled Jackson right out of the stroller and put him on his first pony. It was so cute. Plus Cole rode on his first pony ride and also went on the bumper boats. He LOVED it! He is so much my little man. We were there over 4 hours and he walked around with energy to spare the whole time. It was a wonderful family outing and we are greatful for each other and for our extended family for all they do to teach us! We love you!

Birthday grattitude

Birthdays are so fun! Emery's was great. Thank you Nate and Mandy, for letting us use Sunday Dinner for our party and for the great grub! We really enjoyed the evening. I drove home and felt so grateful to be a part of this family and to have the positive relationship that we all have. It is so fun to get together and be able to look forward to the times we share. Hanging out at the lake was a great idea and a lot of fun. Life is great. Happy Birthday Em!!
