There's a party in our potty!

Dylann has started the potty training business and it happened purely by surprise. We have been working with her by setting her on the potty only a couple of times a week just to get her over her fear of the potty. So she would at least sit on the potty for half a second before jumping off and running around naked for a while. Then, all of a sudden, while we were at Grandma and Grandpa Sanden's house on Saturday something clicked and she went on the potty and then went again, and again. The next thing we new she was dry all day! So she has decided that she wants to be a big girl and use the potty. She has been using the potty pretty good since and loves wearing her new BIG GIRL underwear! YEAH DYLANN!!

Here she is going potty at Grandma and Grandpa's house! Of course she needs to have her sippy cup every where she goes and that includes the bathroom!

I did it!!!
Dylann looking awfully cute in her new big girl underwear. When we took her shopping for the underwear she first wanted to have the boy's spiderman underwear. We did settle on Hello Kitty underwear instead. Silly girl!!

2nd Annual Neighborhood Party!

Right now all of us are recovering from another exciting and fun neighborhood party. We started this tradition last year with our neighbors and it was a huge success and so we had to do it again this year! The only problem we encountered this year was the yucky weather. The clouds were threatening rain all week and so we were all on the edge of out seats trying to come up with a plan if it did rain. Thankfully the rains stayed away for the most part for the party. It was cloudy as could be and drizzly at times, but we were still able to have a great time and lots of people still showed up. The kids were running around on sugar highs all night from the cotton candy and bouncing like crazy in the bounce house that we had rented. The kids really had a blast and so did the adults. It sure is fun to meet some of the new people in the neighborhood and to catch with some of the neighbors we don't see to often.

Gage is sporting a great cotton candy face:)

Aaron is considering become a professional carnie after this party!
