Day 3 of potty training started out great. Jake ran to the bathroom and would pee. Then I thought, I prob. should put underwear on him to get use to clothes! As soon as I did he peed 8 times in 40min. After nap time he refused underwear and was back to peeing in the bathroom! I don't know where to go now!

Day 2 of potty training!

So what I have learned is Jake needs to be naked while potty training. As soon as clothes went on, they were soaked! It is also easier to tell when he needs to "GO" when he has no clothes on. Today we only had 2 accidents. He also held his potty for an hour while we ran an errand. As soon as we got home we took him to the bathroom, success! He is doing a great job, we are sooooo proud of him!

Jakie's Potty Training Day1

Day one of potty training has began! Justin is off today and tomorrow so we can give Jake all our attention. I had Jake throw away his diaper in the trash and told him no more diaper, only big boy underwear. Jake has made it to the bathroom to pee everytime, except for twice when I wasn't paying attention to him. He also pooped on the potty! It took David a year of training to do this. I'm not going to get too excited yet. We will have to see what tomorrow brings!

Partick's b-day pool party!

Patrick's B-day cake!







We had Patrick's 1st b-day party at the Herman's(my step-sis) pool and rented out the cabana. I made the cake which was the first time I have ever decorated such a cake. Surprisingly it was pretty easy to make. You would think that I would attempt this when I had only one child, not after my third! We all had a great time and can't believe that my baby is one years old!

Happy 1st Birthday Patrick!

My baby turns 1!


My baby turned one today! Oh how time has flown!. His dark hair turned into a curly blonde. So far his eyes remain crystal blue. He has been walking now for two weeks and his cubbiness is starting to go away. Everyday he changes and I look forward to seeing him change. His happiness is infectious and the boys are so good and loving with him. What a blessing!

Pool fun!
