CHARLOTTE CAME!

 

They pushed each other around in this little stroller. It was adorable. We loved having Charlotte come visit us. We played. We went to the park. We grocery shopping at Sam's club and got ice cream. We got her mother to all her dental appointments while Grandma and Grandpa helped put our molding in the house. We sure felt blessed by their visit. We will live in our house someday.

UNCLE BRANDON came to VISIT

 My father and brother came out and demo and rebuilt my kitchen in four days. It looks amazing.

Nate is a little frustrated that I pushed our project back a few more weeks by redoing the kitchen.

We always talked like we were going to wait till this summer and then we were going to redo it. However the whole project took us long than it should of, so according to my calculations we are on schedule. I am so grateful we did it. It looks amazing. By amazing I mean A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. My whole house is just phenomenal. Crooked but so cute.

I can't wait to move their in a few more months. Yes, I said a few more month.

 

Nate's sister's husband Brandon came out and brought this guy. Madison loved having her cousin around. I loved having Brandon around. He did a lot of the finish electrical. We are so grateful for his help.

 

We still have a long way to go but we are going to get there. I love how dirty and happy my kids are on our piece of heaven.

MY BABIES

 My sister made my girls darling dresses for Easter.

I love, love, love them.

My girls have worn them every Sunday since she made them.

I love my boys aren't they adorable.

I love having sons.

I love Ashton's massive grins and James's eagerness to please me.

He tries so hard to be good and if gets in trouble, which he often does because he is so darn curious.

His feelings get hurt so easily.

He loves to say, "I good. I good."

When he did something he shouldn't.

I say, "Yes, you are good boy but you shouldn't have done that."

I could eat them up they are my world.

 

James loves church and he brings me his tie randomly through out the week and say, "I church."

I have to tell him it isn't Sunday.

He gets really excited when it is Sunday.

 (Madison smile.)

 (Ashton, James, look at me.)

 (James come on buddy smile. Lean into each other like you like each other.)

(Too far. I give up.)



POTTY TRAINING

 Back to blogging. I am going to stick with it again. Promise.

James has been potty training for a while. I think these pictures are from a month ago.

He has been awful to potty train, nothing my like my girls.

They were a hundred percent potty trained by this age.

He still has good days and really bad days.

Well, until he discovered peeing on the rocks.

He saw his daddy doing it and that was that.

He will now only go potty the boy way. He is pretty good at it.

If he misses I have wipes next to the toilet for him to clean off the seat.

Now he is accident free ninety percent of time and he actually wants to go potty.

Yeah! for the boy way of going potty.

He insists, "Boy way."

My sister said not to count on him being dry through the night till he is three. He wakes up with a soaked pull up every morning. When I try to wake him to go on the potty in the night he is so out of it he just screams. We will tackle that another day.

When I need someone to run James to the potty I have to ask Madison. Sierra is just a little pushy about it so he screams when she helps him. Madison is so gentle he always lets her help him.

I am grateful for her. When you are nursing and potty training at the same time things can get a bit tricky.
