Guess Who Is Potty Trained???

I decided 2 weeks ago it was time to potty train Raleigh....She would always go #2 on the potty so why not let her do both. 2 weeks ago while going to the bathroom she didn't want to put a diaper back on so I got out some panties for her and she hasn't worn a diaper since. She has only had 1 accident since (my fault for not helping her get her jeans down in time). It's nice not to have to change diapers. My princess is growing up!! I thought it would be awhile longer since Sandon didn't potty train till right after his 3rd Birthday, but I will take 2 1/2 anyday over 6 more months of diapers.

Christmas Morning

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and hope that every one else did as well. I love the Christmas holiday and all the family traditions that go along with it, plus my first born shares the same birthday as our savior. It doesn't get better than that.

Family Fun in the Snow

So it snowed another 8 inches or so today!!! I had to go to work today so it kind of sucked to drive in it. 15mph the whole way home...better safe than sorry I say. Doug, the kids and I made a snowman together and we had a few snowball fights. We built forts like the Spongebob snowball episode...you know what I mean if you've seen that one....We had so much fun, it makes you feel like a kid again :)

Treats for Sandon's Preschool

Sandon's class celebrated his Birthday on the last day of school before Christmas break (18th). Here are some of the treats that I made for his class......So easy and so much fun!!

Christmas Sugar Cookies

So I had to take a picture of the kids decorating Christmas cookies. Sandon helped roll the dough and use the cookie cutters this year cause he is such a big boy now!! 10 days left and he will be 5 years old....WOW....I think more of the sprinkles and frosting ended up in the kids mouths rather than on the sugar cookies. Good times :)

Christmas Ornaments

It's our family tradition to paint ceramic ornaments each year for the kids tree. The kids love it!! Can you guess who painted which ornament??

Sandon's 5th Birthday Party

We had Sandon's 5th Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese this year. Since his Birthday is on Christmas Day we always try to do his party some time at the beginning of December. This year he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese so we invited 4 of his friends and their families and one of the kids favorite sitters and had dinner and partied all evening. Sandon is really into WALL-E right now so he picked a WALL-E Birthday cake and funny enough most of his gifts had to do with WALL-E. The kids had a blast. Sandon asked me this morning when I picked him up from preschool if we could go to Chuck E Cheese for dinner tonight. I had to explain to him that we only go there every once in awhile.
