First time William and Elsie had popsicles!!!









Potty Bootcamp

Well....the time has come!  After reading a bit about potty training, we decided on the 3 day Potty bootcamp method.  Basically put them in panties, throw away diapers and let them have accidents until they learn to go in the potty!  Elsie did great.  She went poo poo right away (think that was luck) then had 3 pee pee accidents and didn't have another all weekend!  She had an accident this morning....but the potty was occupied by someone else so she decided her tent was the best place to pee pee!  We got her a bunch a rewards for going potty and followed up with M&M's every time she used the potty!  We haven't left the house yet.....but overall I think she learned the concept and is doing great!!!

Mama Dot and Gigi's visit....

My grandmother and mom came to visit while Scott was in Hati on a mission trip!  Mama Dot hasnt been here since Scott and I were married so it was so fun to have her here!  Elsie has been to visit her so she remembers her visits there but was excited too about her visit!  Here are some pictures of our special time together!

 Elsie refused to smile......

 4 generations.....William was so intrigued with Uncle Matt's beard!

 Mama Dot played all sorts of things with Elsie....they made towers, necklaces, played dollhouse and puzzles!  I asked her today what Mama Dot called her and she said "Darling".......so sweet!


Sweet, sweet memories with their great-grandmother!

Photo Shoot for Daddy....

Scott "tolerates" the cute collared and smocked things on William.....so I thought he might like a "tough guy" photo shoot!!!

Super Moon

Last night was a big deal because the moon was so close to the earth....a Super Moon!  We decided to wake Elsie up about 10:30 for milk and cookies under the moon.  She was a bit confused at first but once we got outside and she saw the milk and cookies she was sold.  We laid under the stars and MOON and had a "moon-nic"!  She went right back to sleep without a peep and was jabbering on and on this morning about the moon!  Precious memory.....
The flash was "too bright Mommy"!

Gigi's visit

Gigi was here last week for William's dedication!  The kids (especially Elsie) loved having Gigi here to play.....all day long!  I got to run errands, do some things for myself and enjoy spending time with my mom!  We all had a great time :)


William's Dedication

I am quite behind on blogging.....our hard drive crashed and the computer was out of commission for a week!  We had done a back up in Feb so we only lost a couple months of pictures.  A couple weeks ago we had William dedicated at church.  The family was able to join us for this special occasion!












We are so thankful for this precious guy!  We are so excited for what God has in store for his life!!
