My Favorite Day!

Normally, I am really negative about Wednesdays, but today I won't be. I guess I am excited about Awana's tonight, since it is our last night!!! Woo Hoo! I know my mom and I are chearing about it. Not that we don't enjoy Awana's, we just dread going, but end up having a good time. I know, we just need to suck it up! So yeah, it's our last night tonight.

This weekend is my cousin Daniel's wedding in Dallas. I am excited. I will get to see my favorite cousin David for the first time in almost two years, since I got married actually. So, that will be fun. Also it will be good to see the rest of the fam. We always have a a good time. Plus, it will be the first time for them to see Colton. Only my aunt and cousin Daniel have seen him. So, I will have a lot of showing off to do!!! Since I am soooooo proud of my son!

Caleb is in Louisianna for training this week. He left Monday and will come back really early Saturday morning. He sure is making a name for himself in the Army. For some reason he has really made an impression on them, and they are sending him to all kinds of trainings that only higher rank soldiers go to. So, he's excited about it.

Susanna is doing a school play called "Cinderina". It's a spinoff from Cinderella and Susanna has the lead role. Well, they had a matinee performance yesterday that had lots of bumps in it, but went ok. And she had another matinee today. My dad said it was great. She has one more matinee tomorrow and then the night performance tomorrow night. We are all going tomorrow night. It's going to be great! I can't wait. She is such a cute gal. I know she will be the star!

Well, back to work I go. Talk to you guys later.

Weekend Fun!

Talk about a busy weekend. Well, yesterday we had a Bridal Kitchen Shower for Leah, our Youth Pastor's fiance. It was a blast! But, we spent all weekend preparing for it in one way or another. Friday night, Mom & Colton & I went to Target to get a gift. That is always fun. We just got her trashcan and filled it with all kinds of kitchen goodies! It was great. Then Saturday, my mom had to get the paper goods and all that fun stuff. I spent about 1 1/2 hours cleaning out the inside of my car and detailing it. Man does it look good now. I would've washed the outside, but it was just way to chilly! So, that's on my To-Do-List! Ha Ha! Along with a million other things. So, Saturday was just a day to do stuff around the house. But, Sunday, we went to church, then to lunch. Oh, I almost forgot. Susanna had her prom Friday night. So, Jarrod came over to pick her up and we got tons of pics. They are so cute. She was beautiful! So, that was exciting! Back to Sunday...after lunch,Colton and I went to Walgreen's to print out Susanna's pics from Friday. Then, we went home, I put him down for a nap, and started getting ready for the shower. It was a great shower. She got tons of stuff. I love showers! So, it was a big success. I'm happy for her.

Well, I will try to email pics of Susanna's Prom. She's gorgeous! Have a great week!

Updates on Yesterday!

Well, let me just tell you how smart my son is!!! ;)

He went pee pee in the big boy potty TWO times yesterday at Dianne's house! When she was getting him ready for his nap, and putting a new diaper on him, he started saying "pee pee! pee pee!" So she asked him if he needed to go pee pee and he said "uh huh!" (that is a yes) So, she put him on the potty and he went!!! Then, he went again after his nap. What a smart boy! As you can tell, I am a very proud mother...I am beaming right now!!!

Friday, Caleb might be coming in for the weekend, so we can go together to get him some rubber pants, and training pants. Hopefully we won't even have to mess with pull-ups! Basically, I don't know that much about potty training, so whatever Dianne says, that's what I'm going to do! Cause she knows her stuff. Oh, she took a picture of him going potty for the first time!! That one's going in the baby book!!! WAY TO GO COLTON!!!

Well, I better get to work. Oh, my Sea-Star, Rachel, is in town. She came in town for my dad's birthday. He turns 21 today! Isn't it crazy that we are both the same age! How wierd. Well, Happy Birthday, Daddy! He's so sweet! Well, have a great day, everyone!

Today is the BIG DAY!!!

Today Colton will start the process of "Potty Training"!!! I am so excited! Dianne got the splashguard protector in the mail yesterday, so today they will start. So, last night, we went to Walmart and got a "big boy potty" and I put it together, with Colton's help, last night. He sensed my excitement and became excited! It's so cute. My mom is a bit skeptical. She thinks it's a little too early. Well, it can be done, and as long as he seems interested in it, and is showing plenty of signs, I think he is ready. My dad thinks he is ready, and Dianne definitely thinks he is ready! I told my mom, "Mom, I need to take advantage of Dianne's help with this. I want him to be potty trained by the time the summer gets here, because she will be watching two more kids part-time. And I want all of her attention on him during this. Yes, it will be messy, and at times annoying, but oh well. In the long run, it will be much better!" She just smiled and joked "don't take advantage of her!"

So, I can't wait till 5:00 gets here and we find out how the day went. She has a great plan. I never put much thought into it. I am definitely lucky and blessed to have her!

Well, I hope all of you have a great day. Please keep us in your prayers as we start this grand adventure! Oh, and in case you are wondering why I typed in yellow...just put a little more thought into the contents of today's blog. I think you will get it!!!! ;)
