whip it, whip it good! and other AWESOMENESS!

These two whipped each other around for a good ten minuets.



We had a really fun cousin sleepover on Friday night. Six kiddos under seven. Two of those under one. And one potty training. Would we do it again? Heck ya! Pizza, Monkey Ball, Movies… Does life get any better?


Hard as it is to imagine? Yes, it gets way better! We were so blessed to not only attended Cassie Joan’s baptism, but be part of it by way of giving the prayers. I gave the opening and Jon the closing. Cassie was the only baptism in her steak this month so it really was a day all about her. So much fun!


Then we were super duper blessed to be able to go to the Temple with Barry. It’s such an AWESOME feeling being in such a holey place with your family. My Aunt Maggie and cousin Kelly watched our sweet babies so we could both go through for Barry’s first time. We thought one of us would have to stay behind, and are so grateful for Maggie and Kelly watching the kids. Sam had to rush to work, and Jamie off to home. So those two missed the photo op.


I appliqued this tie onto a onesi for Regan. I wanted him to have a church outfit, but also wanted the outfit to be comfy. Plus being strapped for cash = get creative. I’m making him a few more. We got lots of compliments on his cute outfit. I loved not having to mess with collars, ties, or vests. Regan was comfy, cute, and happy. I was happy too.

Capt. Commando

She sat on her camode all by herself during pre-potty training! Then later lost her grip (tushie in toilet) and now refuses to sit unless we help her hold on. 🙁 So I may give in and buy her a little seat. She has been running around commando style in homemade dresses and legwarmers.

She has in the last couple of days started to hold herself while doing the potty dance so I know we are making progress. I just keep reminding myself that we only went diaper free on Monday. Slow and steady people. Slow and steady. Meanwhile she really loves teaching her pee pee baby how to use the potty. I am doing LOTS of laundry and have my Bisseil Little Green ready for use at all times! So for now I am sewing some more dresses and legwarmers for little miss. Wish us luck, ’cause we totally need it.

Pee in the potty: Zero, Accidents: LOTS
UPDATE: Still no pee, but she pooped in the potty at 6ish! We are VERY excited!

Sometimes

my house looks like this…
because of this…

She’s doing great at battling her very first cold. Jon and I agree, kids are gross, sick kids are extra gross. This past weekend Barry witnessed Kaylee’s very first snot bubble. And Jon got puked on (she gagged on some meds). EWWWwwwww!

Things I’m grateful for: That this is her first cold. (Amazed that it took almost 2yrs for her to get a cold) An awesome hubby who’s good at dealing with puke. A healthy baby boy (fingers crossed). But today I am mostly grateful for all our EXTRA Lambys.
