Potty Training

Tuesday morning Bugs woke up with her last diaper on. Thus began potty training. That first day was the hardest, but she's doing great! We're so proud of her! What a big girl! And she knows it too, as she proudly lifted up her dress yesterday at Wal-Mart and showed the cashier that she was wearing "big girl panties." Which was actually a pull-up. We were at the store getting one of those fold-up potty seats to use when out and about, so I digressed to a pull-up. But from now on we have the fold-able potty seat and a change of clothes...just in case!

Ode to Bubba

Well, this meant to be a 6-month thing, but instead it's a 7.5 month thing! :) We just got Bubba's pictures taken. Not that I'm biased or anything, but he could seriously be a little model! What a handsome boy. Here are some shots, along some things about him.

You finally found your toes yesterday - I think your belly was always in the way.

I love how you make yourself laugh. Not just giggle, but force a laugh out. It's so funny.

I love how your face lights up when you see someone you love.

I love those bright blue eyes!

You sit up like a pro and have for about month now.

You love to eat! Not just food, but everything.

If there is something in your arm's reach...you'll grab for it, and it usually get it!

You roll all over the place in your crib, but don't really like to lay down when you're awake - youd rather sit, stand, or jump.

I love how you flap your little arms like a birdie when you want or need someone or something.

I love you!

NHS Class of 1999

Well, it's almost been 10 years since we graduated! Plans for our 10-year reunion in 2009 are coming together. Check out the new BLOG for updates and pass the word along in whatever way possible so we can get as many people at the reunion as possible. Thanks!

Swiper No Swiping

At lunch today Ella was kind of scratching the table with her fork. I asked her to stop and she replied, "You'll never find it now, Ah ha ha ha ha." It was hilarious. She even did the little laugh with an evil tone. I asked her where she heard that and she said, "Swiper!" (From Dora the Explorer)

A Grandma Like That

So today we were getting in the car after leaving the store. Bugs was in her chair and I was on the other side of the car strapping in Bubba. Bugs pointed out her window to a beautiful lady with white hair and she said,
"Look! We have a grandma like that!"

I smiled and said "Your right, we do!" How cute is that!?!? She's really into matching lately. She saw someone the other day that had the same dress as her and she says loudly, "Hey, we have that!" What a smartie.

Bubba loves to JuMp! He squeals and screams with delight.

Bugs loved her Elmo kite. It was a very windy day, however, the wind kept changing directions, so the kite took many nose dives. She loved it anyway!

We went swimming with Grandma (my mom) recently.
It was Bubba's first time in a pool.
He wasn't quite sure what to think.

Bugs was kind of scared until she put on her life jacket and the inner tube - she just floated around the pool the whole time.

Bubba will smile and laugh often for us...but he always has a smile and laugh for Bugs. We just love to watch them interact.

Here's our little guy. He's growing up so fast! I love it when he wakes up and I go to get him - he has the most genuine smile for me. He is my sweet chunker lunker! He's totally a solid guy and we love it!

Night at the Roxbury

I don't know how many of you remember the movie, "Night at the Roxbury." It was big my Sr. Year of High school. Anyway, when I saw this recent Super Bowl commercial, it totally cracked me up. Just wanted to share.
