Samantha Turns four!

Saturday was a Very Special Little girls Birthday. Samantha Turned 4. Saturday was kind of a mellow day we just hung out together, Sammie had soccer in the morning and then we just played our day away. Sunday Samantha was very excited for Church because she knew they would sing to her and she would get to pick out of the Birthday Basket. Sunday Afternoon was the Big event. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!! We rented a big bouncer and a little Climbing structure and Fun was had by all. So nice to do it outside this year!

Fred outdid himself again this year and made not one but two Amazing Cakes!! This year it was a Tinkerbell cake. I can't believe I don't have more pictures- I guess I was too busy having fun!

Where's the Poo?

So we have been working on Potty training Nate. It has been going really well except he won't poop in the potty. He is getting to where he will pee pretty consistently just won't attempt to poo. He is actually waiting until nap or bed,when he is wearing a diaper and unsupervised to do the deed. So Last night after the kids went to bed I went for a swim. When I come home and before I go to bed I always go in the kids rooms to check on them. So lastnight as soon as I open Nate's door I smell it. Very strongly but as I look at my boy I realize he is not wearing pants or a diaper. Uh Oh Not good. I look under all his covers no poop or diaper, under the bed, nope, under the dresser..Nope....In the closet...Nope. I call up Fred he looks in the same places, where could it be. Fred then notices that his Jammie s are on top of his dresser and he grabs them and sure enough the diaper is in them. He had taken it off post poo and put it up and went back to bed. Miraculously there was no remnant poo anywhere and he hadn't even wet the bed while he'd been sleeping without a diaper. It was a really entertaining event.

9 Years!

This week Fred and I celebrated 9 years of Wedded bliss. Fred took the day off and we took the kids to go check out the new Gasoline Alley of Heritage Park. Followed by Lunch at Montana's then home for the kiddo's to Nap. That night we had care group and that was about that. Not too much in the way of celebrations but there is no better day then a day spent with our family just enjoying each other. There is talk of perhaps taking a little overnight trip to West ED at the end of the month. Time is flying by and it is hard to believe it has been 9 years. The years each get better and better!
