(i know your lovin the picture of the toilet)......

anyway, our little misses went potty like a big girl yesterday for the first time! After her bath she didn't want her diaper....so we tried the toilet instead! She had quite the applause as mom and two brothers cheered for her...and she cheered for herself of course too! She kept saying..."yeah, I'm big!" I think were off to a good start!

I am loving these......

boys and trees......

My boys can't stay out of the trees! So little man #2 was jumping out of the tree and his sweatshirt got caught......he's so light and little that he just got stuck...dangling! They were both laughing so hard. His feet were about 3 feet off the ground....lets just hope they don't try it again from a higher branch!

Look who's 4........

We took all the kids to the Fire station! Uncle Shane taught the kids about fire safety and gave a tour! They loved it!!
