potty training!!



I wanted to write and see if I can get some advice from the rest of you that have experienced this already. Ben has given us the signal now that he is ready for potty training. A couple of weeks ago, it went smooth, he was sitting on the potty all the time. I didn't have to even ask him if he wanted to go, he would tell me. He had a whole poster filled with stickers, he even got a few toys for going number two. This last couple of days or even week it has been accident after accident. I know they have pull ups, here is my problem though. Anytime that he has anything covering his bottom, he pees in them. It doesn't matter if it is a pull up or underwear, he will just pee in them. Being naked hasn't helped lately though. Ive heard that the kids go through a set back. If this is the case, how do I get him out of it? Sorry to complain, just wanting some advice from you pros!! I thought this picture was perfect, he loves grabbing something to look at.

Visit to Georgia






We got to go visit my niece Danielle in Georgia and just had a blast. I the hardest time leaving her and the area as well. We were in a small town right near the border of Georgia and Florida near Ochlocknee. We had a rough night of flying there overnight but we all survived and had a blast. When we landed we went to check out the ocean view...it was beautiful. I did the mistake of wanting a picture of Matthew on the sand...he didn't like it too much. The boys had fun though and collected some shells. We then went to Danielle and Davids.


I was instantly jealous of the area and Ben

was jealous that they had chickens. He spent everyday outside chasing the chickens and playing with the dogs. As you can see it was hard to part from them. Ben also hooked a fish while fishing and Justice was a great big brother and reeled it in for him. I think Justice's favorite part was when we saw the armadillo. It was very cute. I was glad to see Danielle and to see her so happy as Danielle and David Jones.





They had the reception at the golf club there that was just beautiful. Heather, Danielle's aunt, did a great job on the reception, cake, well everything. It turned out beautiful and I think they both

enjoyed themselves. We were honored and really grateful to be able to be there and share with them that moment.




We had so much fun though out there in the Georgia and can't wait to go back to visit again.

Happy Halloween




We had a wonderful Halloween and I wanted to share our moments and pictures with everyone. Justice was a Jester, Benjamin was a Dragon and Matthew was a Dog. The boys got all dressed up and started the afternoon with Grandma Jacque, Papa and Anna. They came by to see our cute and scary kiddos. We then were off to Great Grandma's house for our first house on Halloween.




We then were off to Grandpa and Grandma Terry's house where it was Dragon against Superman, if I must say is the BEST costume ever worn by Christian. We then set off to Estrella Mountain to go trick or treating with Kristen, Nathan and Julia who was so cute as a lady bug. The kids had so much fun and didn't want to stop at all. No one got too scared by the costumes and no one passed out either, not even Matty. They all brought Bill and I lots of candy home to eat...he...he.
Matthew had his four month appointment on Monday and he is getting big. He weighed 15 lbs and 2 oz and was 25 inches tall. He is grabbing his toes and eating them now. Bill did take his oral board and feels confident, we are crossing our fingers though because they are only promoting a few people. Justice and Ben are also doing good, getting bigger everday as well. I don't know where the year has gone, so if anyone has any idea where it all went please let me know.
