Potty training!

I had to share how Parker has been doing, today it day 2 & 1/2ish and he had no accidents went on the toilet every time, even went out in the yard, i know might sound bad but whatever gets him to go. The most shocking part he went POOP on the toilet! Yes so exciting, we couldn't believe it. I went from just bringing it to his attention to him totally doing it all right away i am totally blown away! He is so smart and driven.

WORK?????

I know call me crazy! We were at Wal-Mart yesterday and i thought lets go look at the underwear and show Parker. He was so excited they had Mater and Wall-e he threw them in the cart. So it wouldn't hurt for him to try and kinda get an idea. So we came home had one accident and tried a few times but nothing. He had taken them off and put them back on but both legs were in one hole like a previous post and he couldn't walk, it happened to be bath time so i took them off and threw them into the washer, boy was he upset. So this morning i had the laundry folded on the couch and when he woke up and saw his underwear he riped them out of the pile and wanted them on. Had an accident than i told him he could have a piece of candy if he went pee-pee. Because he would have a couple drops, stop himself and than wouldn't go it the toilet he looked at me shook his head and said "work, work". Than i remembered that we got some gummy frogs at the store so i told him he could have one he ran into the bathroom and went! Just like that, so i learned i cant be in sight. So as i was working on this he had stoped himself again and he ran to the bathroom and i stood in the hall to listen and peek in and he stood their, pushed himself out and went full flow(bottom picture) i couldn't believe it. So we have spent the morning running to the bathroom, calling-sending pictures to daddy on his phone, and calling grandma and close friends.

First time!Second time!

How she's grown

Her love for animals is amazing. She is Max's mama. She cares for him, misses him, sleeps with him, plays with him and she is like this with every animal. She feeds our fish every morning without being asked, we had gotten some apples from my parents and we were washing them and a worm crawled out as i am trying not to loose it, she wants to hold it! The other day a rolly polly bug was on her face she picked her off put her in a case, gave her a name(Pocahontas)a blanket, water and dirt. She has showed me how to be stronger in so many ways. She is a dancer 24/7, shes so proud of her pointy toes and it fills our hearts with joy to watch her.
Her beauty and charm
Knows how to have fun and make the best of itShes has really grown so far this year its crazy to think that our first born is almost 5 and wants it so bad she could taste it. We went to her preschool park day and i asked her if she was so excited she meet all of her classmates and school is going to start soon and her reply was "when am i going to go to kindergarten" i couldn't believe it. Today she reached for something and reached it she was so proud that she is growing she went around the house showing me stuff she can reach. I told her that i didn't want her to grow and she told me "well that means i can't eat anymore" but she informed me that i can live with her when she gets bigger and told me all about her house. Her imagination amazes me i wish i could have a slice of it and she is really showing Parker how to use his. The love that they share for each other leaves me speechless.

Has it started???

I was up doing my morning stuff when i heard Parkers voice"Mama, mama" so i went in to get him out of his crib and he had taken off his diaper and thank you he didn't have poo in it. I have heard those stories and i really hope it doesn't happen to me but hey i have a boy i know its coming sooner or later lol. But wouldn't be a great way to start off the week with husband out of town for the week. So the funny part is he had taken off his diaper for some reason and put his shorts back on but only in one leg lol so it looked like he was wearing a skirt, could barely walk and you could see his bottom in the back.

How he's grown

He is so active and on the go. He got his pacifier and blanket crawled up to daddy and fell asleep. He has only done this one other time in his high chair and i was waiting for that day and i was at the Nutcracker with Bridgitt :( Loves to eat
Loves to give the cheesy smile
Loves to work with daddy
Loves to make a mess with everything he eats
I just wanted to post about him not about what we have been doing but how hes been doing. Since he has turned 2 he has really grown up and is turning into an individual. He is for sure my strong willed child. He knows just how to push his sister buttons well he always has but now that hes talking so good now they are in the cute stage of fighting the uh huh stuff and she really doesn't like it when he calls her a baby but he remembers it from when he was a baby and she called him it so its so funny to watch them now but give it a couple of months and it will be crazy. He is such a flirt and sweet heart when he looks at you he just melts your heart.

Pope's & Grammys House

The kids have so much fun their, well what kids don't have fun at the grandparents house. So out of the blue Bridgitt started calling Popo, Pope and its starting to stick even Parker has been calling him that to. She also started calling grandma, Grammy so its funny that she has changed their names. These are just some cute pictures of the kids wanting to dress up from the wedding like mommy and daddy.

Playing with Grammys stamps started awhile ago, she was an accountant so when she had the office at home Bridgitt would play with mailing address or the paid one. So now she has other ones for her to play with and i think this was Parkers first time playing with them and Bridgitt got a little experimental with them um ya on Parker LOL. As it looks like it on his paper he was stamping and she was stamping him (tattoos she says), and she had finger prints on her paper.

On his fore head, arms
Its even on his neck! LOL

Rafting

We parked at he end of the river where we would get off and a school bus took us where we got our raft and hit the water. So Bridgitt was so excited she got to ride and school bus and go on a boat in the same day. Cause i am sure she will never ride a bus to school which when she sees one that's all she talks about.
The Truckee River in Tahoe City Patricia no feeding the ducks!
So we were no longer than 10-15 minutes on the water and we went right it to a tree and were stuck. Our drivers, paddlers whatever you want to call them didn't have it together lol. With all of Davids sayings and comment to other rafters and singing as if we were in Paris i think we laughed the whole 5 mile ride that took us 2 1/2 hours it was so much fun and memorable. But it didn't end their, just never ask David what time is it? when he doesn't have his glass on and has a soda in his hand LOL!
That's the tree with David getting beat up from the rocks trying to get in

ya he got in!
Pope needs more band-aids!

On Popes birthday Bridgitt made him a card with lines all over him and she told him that those were his band-aids cause he always has boo-boos.

AWWW Pirates!
We asked him if they got him he said "no"
most of the rapids were like this

Hes gonna catch a big one
Pope and Grammy

trying to splash Justin before he gets me

So this was one of the 4-5 bridges we had to go through or duck under because the water was so low. So you look at it and think ok go for the left side but no not us we got up their and their was another raft right their going on the left so we went to the right.
ad this is what we hit and ran into the trees and bushes again, yes that little part between the rock and bushes that's where lol.

My best friend!
doing silly poses
I'm trying to show Parker that he can swim with the life jacket on but it was so cold
It was an amazing day and i can't think of any other time that we spent the whole day with Justin's parents doing something as a family. It has always been short visits when we go to Reno, when they stop by or at family functions. So we have already started planning our next fun thing!

Mr. & Mrs. Varga

Congratulations to Mr. Russell and Mrs. Stacey Varga as they said their vows, "I do's" , and became 1. Stacey did the whole wedding herself and it was beautiful, and she looked amazing. Great location, family and friends, decorations and food. We had so much fun and Bridgitt was so happy when she requested the "cha cha slide" and the DJ played it, it got everyone up and on the dance floor.


Bridgitt and Parker had so much fun and were so good to Evrick (Stacey's son) They ran around and around the pond, shared skittles and this is when i caught them taking a brake and of course Parker has to pose for everyone. At the end of the night the boys were surprised they both had pacifiers and were trying to get each others.

Julie really wanted this lol!


Bridgitt and Parker had so much fun with Julie and her boyfriend Jed. Bridgitt would of danced all night with her if we didn't have to leave and go to bed.
