Bye Bye Diapers!!!

Potty training 101 began the 4th of July weekend. I went and got me all the supplies and Friday after getting home from work, we put on the big boy pants! We got all kinds of Cars and Toys Story and even Thomas the train underoos! They are the smallest size they come in and they are dang cute! For every potty he went or even an attempt, he got a piece of candy.
We had a couple of accidents the first few hours, but nothing major. That night I put a pull up on Jayden and tucked him in. Saturday was hit and miss. Litterally! No accidents Sunday or Monday!
We decided to take down his crib and put his mattress on the floor tell we get him a twin size mattress. I figured it was confusing to say ok don't pee your pants during the day but it's ok to pee them at night. Didn't know if it would work for sure but it did. It's almost been a month and I've only had to change maybe 3 wet beds! Go Jayden! But, since we took his crib down he comes strolling in our room between 3-4am. I can't believe how fast he has caught on to the whole new process. He tells us when he has to go and even goes number 2! Which that only took about a week to get down. The first time he went in the toilet he got a little toy. That was a major hit!
We let him go potty number 1 (lol) outside...but he prefers to go on the toilet and sit down. Now we just have to master standing up to go potty and wipe'n ourselves of course. No rush just glad to say bye bye to diapers! YESSS! Here's a photo from the 4th and our potty trainer on the pot! Yep he's eating while peeing! Hey, whatever makes them happy right!? heehee

One summer afternoon

Last Saturday was pretty nice out. Jayden and I got to hang out just us two. I cleaned out our little pool and filled it up. We blew lots of bubbles, played with Bubba and he got to ride his new truck he loves so much. We drank ice cold lemonade, ate snacks and just relaxed and enjoyed the sun. It's nice to do nothing sometimes ;) Here are some goofing around moments...






Jayden took this one!



This one cracks me up because he was laughing so hard - he had the giggles BAD lol

Alicia this one's for you

Ok, this is maybe over a month ago - I made some cut outs of our favorite people and put them on the fridge. People that he doesn't get to see that often, but that I want him to know and/or remember.
He was walking past the refridgerator and saying Cesar and pointing to him...then of course he acted way to silly and a bit hyper when I decided to get my camera...but anyway, it's still cute - so here ya go Aleesh...

The Beach

Our summer has been so wishy washy. One day rain the next day muggy, sunny, cloudy..etc. Geesh! We've been spending tons of time at my Aunt Dee's property on the beach at Ocean Shores. We love to camp there. It's so close for a quick weekend get-a-way and it's free for us to stay. They have a pool and a play ground plus a walking trail wiht access to the beach. Bubba absolutely loves the beach too - :) Here's a picture of Jayden and Poppa playing wiht the hose - Jayden loves coffee! Cheers! One weekend was the Kite festival. This black cat was larger than a motor-home. Picture doesn't do it justice. It was the biggest kity I'd ever seen! :) My neice Tayrn came with us once and she got to ride a horsey. She loves horses. $20 for an hour - not too bad. Me and my mom cracking up about something....I think this was our 6th attempt to take a photo - it was hot but windy that day... Painting is always fun - Taryn is a really good artist! Our friends parents bought a house in Ocean Shores so they are there all the time. We met them for a beach party and James helped the kids fly kites.. Peek-a-boo I see you! Choo choo! wait..that's McQueen Ok, I did this video sideways and I don't know how to turn it around. Mini cornhole!


Making the best memories. We always have the best time at the beach - can't wait to go agian!
