Potty Training update

Potty training has been going so well I almost forgot to write about it!! Tori is wearing big girl pants almost all the time, and though we still have some accidents, she is staying dry 80% of the time!!!! I am so proud of her!! We have even made quite a few outings in big girl pants and have not had an accident out of the house yet!! It's only at home when she gets to playing and forgets until almost too late... But she usually makes it with only a little accident. She is so independent, and we no longer have to give rewards, it's becoming a way of life!! Still in diapers at night, but that's to be expected, we are working on staying dry at naptime first, then we will work on all night :) My baby is OFFICIALLY a big girl!! So bittersweet! :(

Dress up with Say-Say

Lindsay will be leaving Friday to tour in Japan. We are doing our best to enjoy our last week with her, before another long time away. I got some sweet pictures of her playing with Tori tonight! Hope you enjoy!

Tori and her Daddy...

Adam and I took Tori to the park, and I captured these precious shots of this wonderful father/daughter love. It really makes my heart happy to watch what a wonderful father Adam is to our sweet baby girl...

Pest Problem- eliminated

So the other night Adam and I had some friends over, and the boys decided it was time to kill the carpenter bees. wasp and hornet killer, a little fire, and some boys having fun acting like 15 year olds for a good 20 minutes...Sorry to my neighbors who were possibly woken up at 10 pm by axes, hammers, laughter, and us girls screaming every time a bee buzzed it's way out of the shelf.... We made a memory, tore the shelf to shreds, and killed all the bees! Success!!

When it was all said and done...

This is what the inside of the tunnels looked like... each compartment was filled with some sort of "bee's wax"(haha) and I'm assuming the eggs were also inside

The pile of wood

So if anyone wants to know how to kill carpenter bees, maybe you shouldn't ask us haha... This shelf was an un-important storage area in our garage that needed to be cleaned up anyways and came with the house when we moved in, so we just demolished it, and the bees with it.

And another thing, if you are going to stand and watch, please control yourself. Keep the squeels to a minimum, and don't hit yourself in the face with a mag-light like I did. I'm usually pretty fearless, but bees give me the willies!! I was holding a large mag-light for Adam so he could see, and some little fly or gnat got in my face, I screamed and nailed myself in the cheek with the mag-light.... ouch! No bruise thankfully haha... all I'm saying is if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen... I had to let someone else take over the flashlight responsibility, I obviously can't take the heat.

First swim of the year!

We had a blast swimming with the Kennedy girls today! We swam, colored with chalk, blew bubbles, played with blocks, had lunch, swam some more, and even got a little tan!! Thanks girls for a fun day!!

Playdate at Muse Park

Had so much fun today with a bunch of the Mommy's from Moms and More!! And came home with a boo-boo and the dirtiest feet ever!! What did you expect from a 2 year old??
