I'm a big boy now!

It took a while until he was showing that he was ready to potty train, but G is officially potty trained. With only one accident in the last 4 days and having a dry pull up this morning. I think we can now say Good Bye diapers!

Pictures of C

although he's just 7 weeks old he is growing quick and showing personality already!







Laying on the quilt great grandma F made for him. the doors to the tents open to reveal animals.








He has the cutest smile! He loves to talk now too!

Counting down the days...

A starts school next month. We made a fun chain to count down the days till school starts!

We are starting to wake up earlier in the morning to prepare for school. A is getting really excited to go to kindergarten.

Stress... not good for my waistline.

I have an outlet for when I get really stressed out...

Baking....

look what I made.

Chocolate cake and frosting from scratch. It sure did taste good, but not good when I am trying to loose weight.

G's turns 3!

G turned 3! Its hard to believe that he has been part of our family for so long. He makes each and every day an adventure. Blogger isn't working great for pictures today so I appolgize for it looking sloppy.


The day after he was born.













One year old.











two years old












Our big 3 year old!












The birthday cake!











Eating cake and Ice cream!

Opening presents, he was spoiled this year with all the family in town now!









Waiting for the big present from Cousin P.








I think he likes it! A bike and helmet, not pictured, he was also given a scooter.

4th of July 2011

Our 4th started out with a patriotic breakfast. Red, White and Blue pancakes, bacon, eggs, and orange juice.




We ate a yummy dinner made by friend M.

We went to the local High school to watch fireworks. The kids, R, and Friends A and M had boffer sword fights. They got some of the kids there at the ball field to play too.


















I stayed with C while he slept.











We sat down for dessert just before it got dark for the fireworks.









Being up almost 3 hours after bedtime makes for a very sleepy boy.


I am so thankful for those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy in this nation. I am also grateful for the families who sacrifice while their family member(s) are away fighting for our freedoms.

Visit from family

So blogger land, its been a while since I posted. I'm finding its a bit difficult to get on the computer, let alone blog :)

A few weeks after C's birth Mom H and R's sister J came out to help out and visit. R's sister K and her husband M moved out here a few days later. We really enjoyed spending time with Mom and J, and have continued to enjoy spending time with K and M.


Here are some pictures of everyone with C. Mom we cant thank you enough for all your help!
