Raegan's new Farah Fassett look

We attempted potty training for Logan the other day. I told him he could have chips every time he at least tried to sit on the toilet. He has been very adamant about not wanting to go to the bathroom. He cries and gets upset so I haven't pushed him. I thought the chip idea would be great since that kid could eat chips breakfast, lunch and dinner. It worked for about a day and then when he had his chip fill, he was done. He turns 3 in 2 weeks and I have decided that the week after we are hibernating and this kid is going to be trained, which just might kill me, but at least he will be wearing underwear at my funeral. Wish me luck! Plus, those little tighty whities are so dang cute on him!

Raegan's T-ball

Raegan had her first t-ball game last week. It is an interesting league she is playing in. The coach pitches the first 4 balls and if she doesn't hit them, they bring out the tee and she hits off that. No one ever gets out (even if they do catch a ball or tag a person, which doesn't happen very often), they don't keep score. It is one of those leagues where everyone is a winner. I like it and I don't. She needs to learn that she doesn't win all the time, but it is good right now since she is just learning the basics. She has a lot of fun and dances all over the outfield which is what I did when I was little. It is great Saturday afternoon entertainment! Go Black Bears!

Easter

Bye Grandmas...we miss you already!

Happy Easter! Today was a beautiful day in Central Florida. Just what Easter mornings should be. I have lots of pictures to post...we have had way too many egg hunts in the last week. My kids love it but I am tired of the candy and all those darn eggs around the house. Brielle likes to rip them apart so I find miss matches everywhere with empty wrappers strewn across the floor. I am not sure who is the culprit for those.

Today we had some friends over to celebrate Easter with us. It is getting easier to be away from our family celebrations when we can celebrate with our "Florida Family" Thanks so much to the Lins and Barsons for spending Easter eating way too much and playing ESPN Scene it with Jake (He has had that for 2 years and today was the first time he opened it. I have to say Ryan gave him a run for his money on sports knowledge. He (Jake) is a sports nerd!) Anyways it was very nice to spend time relaxing and gorging myself.

A few pictures from this morning. Raegan wanted the whole gloves and purse. She is definitely a girl! A very pretty girl. Logan was just happy to be here and Brielle doesn't like dresses because she kneels on them when trying to crawl, which makes movement very difficult. I guess it will be shorts until she learns to walk. (Which better not be anytime soon, I still need her to be my baby)

Key West Getaway

Since my mom and grandma were here this weekend, Jake and I decided to take a little getaway and go explore Key West. We have wanted to go there for a while, but not conducive when you have little ones. We had a great time. We went snorkeling, parasailing, jet skiing and kayaking. It was beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and great company. Went way to fast, but we were happy to be away and happy to be home.

She's ONE!!!

Brielle turned ONE! I can't believe it! She has started to say ONE when you ask her how old she is. Very cute! We went to the bounce house and ate cupcakes to celebrate. She was spoiled by all the grandma's and loved every minute of it!

Disney, grandma's and birthdays

Busy busy fun week. My mom and grandma are here for all the birthdays. We have had fun celebrating and spending time with them. We did Disney for my mom and Raegan's birthdays. They loved it! We ate at Cinderella's castle and Raegan thought that was the greatest thing ever. She also got her face painted as a kitty princess and looked in every mirror she found.

Raegan's birthday party

Yesterday we celebrated Raegan's birthday with her friends. We played out in the water, had cake, ice cream, water balloons, just fun. She had a great time with her friends and my mom and grandma were here to celebrate with her. She loved opening her presents. Thanks to everyone that helped make her party fun. Her actual birthday is Tuesday and my mom's birthday is Monday so we are spending the next two days making our dreams come true at Disney!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Jake!!! He is 32 today and has the flu. What a way to spend your birthday! He did get to miss church and sleep all day, so that is hopefully helping. Plus the present I ordered him didn't come and he is also getting a new grill because our other one fell apart and we didn't have time this week to get one, so not really any presents either.... He has just had bad luck in the birthday department the last year or so. His last birthday also wasn’t great because he had to lay tile in our bathroom and broke the toilet so instead of a nice dinner with his wife, he spent it getting a new toilet put together. I was no help because I was 2 weeks from delivering Brielle and couldn’t lift anything.

There is always next year right?

At least he got Upside down German chocolate cake and PB Chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins---both are straight from heaven!
