Abby's Dance Recital 6/21/08

These are pictures of Abby in her costumes, ( the professional pictures are not in yet ) The girls were so cute. The rehearsal, I thought was long enough but boy That was nothing compared to the actual rehearsal.

since I saw the whole performance for rehearsal, I spent the whole night in the back with Abby and Grace. I came out into the audience when Abby preformed then would run back after. It was so so long That we were all really tired and thankful when it was over but wow, what a memory for David and I. ( Abby Loved every minute of it. )

Avery's Blue Mohawk

Well it's that time again, Avery's Summer Mohawk. Normally I let him have it till Bible school starts but this year I let him keep it longer since there were so many other kids at church with one. This picture is right before his Game and It just happens to be blue to match his team colors.

All that team spirit paid off because he played awesome that night and got the winning game ball.

Potty Trained 6/01/08

Well, Potty training was so easy the first two times I thought for sure Grace would be a nightmare.

This is how it went, I bought Grace new Dora panties and I very casually said to her, When you are ready to wear big girl panties let Mommy know and I will take you to the potty. I Showed her the attachment I hooked to the big Potty and she said ok Mommy. That whole day she did not say a word. The next morning I woke up to use the restroom and to my very happy surprise, Grace is sitting on the potty. That was it, from that point on she has been going in the potty everytime. It has been so easy all three times and I have really heard horrible stories of potty training from other parents but I think what has worked for us is that I wait till they are ready and most important is not to use pull ups ( They are really just expensive Diapers ). We are so proud of her and she is just so grown up about it, She say's the diapers are for Baby Bean when he comes out of momma's Belly.

Above is a picture of Grace helping Daddy. We are remodeling all of our bathrooms floor to ceiling. The kid's wanted to help with everything.
