Potty Training

On Sunday we officially started potty training. I watch a little girl who is the same age as Bradley. She is potty trained, so when she came over last Friday Bradley said he didn't want to wear a diaper and wanted to wear under wear like Ainsley. But that afternoon we were leaving to go camping so we decided to wait till we got back on Sunday. Bradley was ok with that. We went to wal- mart and let him pick out underwear. He liked the cars ones the best. So as of today no accidents. I hope it sticks. Here is a picture of what he does all day. Plays with is monster trucks and has candy in his mouth for going potty on the toilet. I am sure is going to be more then ready to see a dentist after he is done potty training.

Emmalee's First Day of School

Today was Emmalee's First day of school. We went out to the bus stop at 8:30 and waited for the bus. Emmmalee's uncle Mark and cousin Caleb came with us to say good bye. When the bus came the number on the bus wasn't the number that the school gave me. So I went up to the bus driver and made sure it was the right bus. Emmalee got on the bus and just stood there and was staring at me. At first I thought she was going to freak out but then I realized I was holding her back pack.Once I gave her her bag she went and sat down next to a little girl and they were off. She is getting so big. So the the first 15 min. I was nervous that she was going to get lost once she got off the bus, so I text Brian at work and he assured me that I didn't need to call the school to make sure she got to her class with out getting lost. I hope she has a good day and has tons of fun. I am excited to see how her day went and what she did. She was most excited to go because her class has a pet genie pig , and if you know Emmalee, you know she loves all animals. So now Bradley and I are going to try to keep busy entertaining each other. Wish us luck. Here are some photos of her first day of school outfit and her back pack.

She wanted this Tinkerbell

back pack so bad

Bradley had to be in a

picture with his sissy.

When we got back from the bus stop Bradley asked me where sissy was. I told him she was at school and he started to cry, he sure is going to miss her while she is at school. He loves her so much.

Monster Jam

On Saturday we had a blast at Monster Jam. The kids loved every minute of it. Here are pictures of our awesome family night out.


Here we are waiting for it to start

watching with her lovely ear protection

And Bradley with his ear protection

When Bradley got sick of wearing

his ear protection he looked

like this. Funny Kid.

At the end 5 of the trucks were

broken and could no longer run.

Here they all are in the corner waiting to be taken out.

4th of July

We had a pretty relaxing day on Saturday. We spent the night at my parent's Friday night and woke up and spent most of the day in their pool. At around 6 pm we went out to dinner and then right after we watched the fireworks in Surprise. Then we decided to get some ice cream at Cold Stone. When we got there the parking lot was packed and the fireworks at Peoria Sports Complex was starting so we pulled over to let the kids watch. After we still had time to get ice cream. The kids had so much fun. Here are a few pictures I took of the kids with my phone so they area little dark and blurry. Sorry.

       trough the window she was afraid

           she was going to get burnt by the 

  fireworks. So paranoid just like her mother.

Sleepy Heads

Emmalee is starting Kindergarten this year and so I decided that it was time to get her on a good schedule so she can be ready for when the day comes. Brian put the kids to bead at 8:30 and when I came home from mutual I went in and they were asleep on the floor. They were so exhausted but still wanted to play. Here are the cute pictures I took of them asleep on the floor.

        

Fathers Day 2009

For Fathers Day  this year i was gone at YW Camp. So before I left, I helped the kids make Brian a gift he could put on his desk at work. I decided since the kids love to paint their hands we would frame a hand print of each of them.   They loved ever minute of it. Here is a picture of their lovely art work.
