Potty Training Day 1

So we are going to potty train bree again! LOL She has her moments where she is really good and loves it, other times she just hates it. I went out and got her cute tinkerbell undies, which she was soo excited to wear this morning along with the plastic covers to go over the undies in case of an accident. She does really well through out the day. Alot of cuing but its worth it. The times we have to work on is afternap time, before bed, and in the morning when she wakes up. She sometimes doesnt want to go when she is playing hard, but we are going to do it. Please pray for me. :)

Random Pictures of my little man

Here are some randoms of my little man! He is getting so big I just cant believe it! Almost one! Tate and Papa playing around. Tate loves papa darrell!

Hanging at Grandma Lisa & Papa Jack's, crusing with the tractor. He would just go everywhere with it! Now if he would walk on his own!

Getting his sun tan on! He is a white boy!! Having a nice little lazy afternoon at the pond!

Uncle Jeff and Tate! Its so hard to get Jeff in pictures with his niece and nephew. But they love him!

Here is my little hoodlem! He is sporting papa's company hat! Gotta help papa out!

Marcus Fair!

We took bree to the Marcus Fair this year. As she is not tall enough to ride all the rides,she jumped right in on everything! She even did some rides that Dustin and I thought she would scream once it started to go, but she was a champ and didnt want to leave! She also won a shark blow up and a hat! I can not wait to take her again next year and maybe Tatem will be up for it! Dustin and Bree went on the dizzy dragon! I thought she would just die on this ride, but she did it. Dustin said that she didn't want him to spin it fast but she just sat back and enjoyed it!

The bouce house was a HIT! I so need to invest in one for her and Tatem. I almost had to go in and get her, she didnt want to leave!

She thought that the Pooh Playhouse was just to fun! She went through it twice! She had some troubles, but she made it through and just loved going down the slide!

Going up the stairs into the ball pit! I thought she would never make it out over to the other side, but with alittle help from daddy and mommy she got it! She was such a big girl!

She loved drive her own car! Although I think she realized that she wasnt really driving and then stopped holding on to the wheel. Next time we will try the motorcycle!

All in all she had an awsome time! She got to see some family from outta state. She enjoyed playing with all her cousins as they enjoyed playing with her and Tate! We hope to see them soon!

Chuck E Chesse!

So on the way home from visiting grandma and papa we stopped to visit Auntie Trish! The zoo was the plan, but it rained so chuck E cheese it was. The kids had a blast, Bree was alittle nervous but caught on pretty fast! They also enjoyed seeing Auntie Trish! Althought, poor Trish kept being called Ashley. Can't help you look alike.

Visitng Grandma Lisa & Papa Jack!

August 8th, we ventured over to Washington, IA to visit Grandma Lisa & Papa Jack! the kids just loved it. My dad's work had a family picnic for the company. Bree loved the bounce house!! She didnt want to get out. She also got her first tattoo! She thought it was soo cool to be like her mommy and daddy. Tatem enjoyed them as well, mostly the dogs loved him. He likes to feed him his apple jacks. As they sit there and wait for some to fall or for his arm to go over the chair and drop them! Braelyn loved getting up on Papa's bike! She just climbed right up there and thought she was so cute! Papa named this bike after her! You think that she might be a biker girl? To bad papa took off the side car or she could have had a ride.

We all took a dip in their pond. Bree was ok alittle scared, but she got to enjoy it. Tatem wasn't so sure about it. So mama and Tate hung out on a blanket, got alittle sun, and watched everyone else play in the water. It was nice to just lay back and relax!

Keeping it updated!

Ok, So the other family site that I had has decided to go out! Lovely! I loved that site. So easy to use and the family could check in on it to see new pictures of the kids and new things that we are up to, but all good things come to an end!
So I am hoping that I can keep this one updated for everyone! I will post pictures on my blog from time to time so you can look at them! I even made my page look cute! Only took me an hour to figure it all out! LOL
So heres to trying to keep it up to date for everyone! BTW my little man will be one in 3 weeks! I cant believe it.. Makes me alittle sad! He also took 4 steps on friday by himself. He tried it twice and hasnt done it since, I call him my part-time walker. :)

Their new pictures!

And these pictures were for daddy and Auntie Ashley. She got them these outfits. Both Daddy and Ashley are big Dallas fans! Couldn't pass this up! Although you can tell that they were about ready to be done with the pictures at this point but they did come out cute!

These are my beautiful kids. I know that Braelyn is already 2, but I wanted to have a session with both of them instead of going twice. I can't believe how big they are and how time surely flys! But they are the light of my life!

So yesterday I took the kids to Sears to get their pictures taken. Its been Sept since they got them done. I have been slacking alittle. They did so great! I got the cutest pictures. My favorite of the kids is this one. Usually Tate screams when Bree puts her arms around him. But he was just loving all the attention and getting his pictures.
During the photos. I noticed how much they DO look alike. And alot like me! I cant believe it, poor Dustin.
