Potty

I had been putting off potty training Natalie for many different reasons.  I have  school twice a week and I didn't want to put off the potty training duty on anyone else, Natalie just didn't seem ready and I will admit, potty training is hard and I was being LAZY!  Flash forward to this past week.  We all had a few days off school so Tuesday I decided that we would stay home a start training Natalie.  Extra motivation was I was down to just a few diapers and didn't feel like going to the store. 

So today is Friday and she is pretty much trained.  We have not had one accident except for when she was having the runs a little on Wed. and tooted a little mess.  Other than that she has gone on the potty and has even been dry over night.  We have gone out of the house several times and even did pee-pee on the church toilet.  I am blown away by how easy this child has been.  I keep waiting for her to have an accident but I am crossing my fingers that it won't happen. 

Maybe this is her way of apologizing for her terrible sleep habits and thanking me for laying with her every night.  I would way rather do that than have to clean up potty messes!

My Girls

 

Time is moving too fast.  I love my cute girls, I love who they are growing into, I just wish it would slow down!

A Vegas Winter

One of the best things about Las Vegas is the mild winter.  I love that we usually have weeks in January and February that are downright beautiful. 

We eat these days up. 

They are not to be wasted because before we know it,  we will be boiling again. 

Here are some pictures from our park adventures last week.

 

The Friday before last I took Natalie to the park during the day.  We had a snack picnic, gazed at the clouds, shooed bee's out of my bag and took a nice stroll.  We also stopped to see some horses and of course the Pee cocks that like to roam nearby one of our favorite parks. 

That afternoon since we really didn't have any plans we went back to the park when the girls got out of school.  It was drizzling a tiny bit and the girls were so happy I let them stay to play in the rain.  Natalie loved having Becca ride her on the back of her trike.

Tuesday and Thursday we met up with the Grubb boys for some fun park play.  It is so funny to see 6 crazy kids whiz by on their scooters.   We also played a little duck duck goose, relay races, soccer and freeze tag.  Laura is one amazing mother, three boys the same age is no walk in the park.  They are some seriously good boys btw, please don't get the wrong idea, I am just comparing the girl/boy difference! 

When Alexis and Rebecca were smaller I used to put them back to back in the baby swings.  They are too old for that now but we were still a swing short.  Now they can just ride face to face.  They loved this, and I loved how much fun they were having together!

Finally this past Saturday we stopped by a fun Henderson park before we went to Urijah's birthday bash.  This is such a neat park, just so different from the usual thing.
