Saturday we went to the KC Pumpkin patch in Gardner. We took our niece Kynleah and met up with my dad and Rachel and her boys Noah, Eli and Lucas. The kids had a great time mining, riding the train and tractors and going through the haunted barn, which David was scared of but kept wanting to go in over and over again. Finally we took a tractor ride over to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins. David picked this small, pathetic pumpkin that he had to have! Justin and I helped pick out a few more that we can carve.
This pumpkin patch is a must for those that have kids. There are so many activities for kids of all ages to enjoy.

I wanted to dedicate a post to my nephew Kolbey Wayne who received his wings 4 years ago to be in the arms of God. Two days ago be would have had his 7th birthday!
Kolbey though 4 years have passed since you left us, it seems only yesterday we were having party cake and watching Barney and Blues Clues! We miss you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you! Love you lots!

Went took the boys to Zonkers and all David could talk about was riding the train and rollercoaster! So of course the train was the first thing we did. The place was dead, maybe 6 kids in the place. When David got on the train he was the only kid riding. Typically each ride is a couple times around the track, but the "conductor" let David ride like 20 times, no joke! Afterwards David wanted to ride rollercoater, but by the time we got up to the gate he had changed his mind.

David: It's too scary.

Yesterday I made pancakes for everyone. I think Jake enjoy them the most!

Success!! After Three days of intense, regimented potty training David went Potty in the toliet! Last night after I had gone to work, Justin calls me to let me know that David had finally done it! Today he has had one accident and was really upset about it. He wants to wear big boy underwear, not pull-ups! He has yet to poop in the toliet, but will get there. Baby steps!

David: Mommy, you proud of me?!

Me: Yes David, I'm very proud of you!

David: Mommy, Daddy proud of me?!

Me: Yes, Daddy is proud of you!

So it's day two in potty training, second go round. So far we have only accomplished one drop of urine in the potty! He was so excited about it and we made a big deal about it! So I know that he knows what to do. The biggest thing is David will hold his urine for ever! As soon as the pull-up goes on he pees, it never falls! I have done bribes, used M&Ms had him blow through a straw to put pressure on his bladder to pee. He clinches to hold it in. As you can see I have his potty chair in front of the TV to see if it will distract him, but he's to smart! I don't know if I should stop pushing the issue and let him go when he's ready. So, my kid will be the only 10th grader wearing diapers! If anyone has any insight or just wants to potty train my kid for me just let me know!
