Day 2 of potty training!

OK so I am in total disbief. Ty went all day with no accidents. He even took a nap in big boy underwear and woke up dry. Through the night last night Aubrey woke up around 2am so I took Ty to the bathroom and he went pee in his sleep and went back to bed and still woke up dry. I am so excited you have no idea. Today has been great no accidents....we even left the house went to Target and he told me he needed to go to the potty and so we ran and he went with no problem. I must say he loves the candy and even though it is temporary it is very perfect. He picked out new candy today to add to the mix. I still feel like this is a dream but I will take it anyday over big man poop.

Potty Training!

So I decided today,after many failed attempts, that today was going to be THE day to potty train. Yes, I know you think I am crazy. We are leaving to go on vacation for a week to Colorado to visit the in-laws and I am trying to change the world 3 days before we leave. I, being the crazy woman that I am, did this same thing when we were getting rid of the passy. We were going away for the weekend and I decided that it would be a great time to get rid of his favorite thing THE PASSY! So I did and we all made it and the passy was gone for good. I woke up today with the same mentality of I am done changing his stinky human poop! So I held up the bag of Halloween candy, that I have been hiding, and told Ty he could have a piece of candy EVERYTIME he went on the potty. To this very moment he was gone # 1 (9) times and #2 (1) time. I think he will have a tummy ache and my mom is convinced he will weigh 500 pounds but it is temporary and is working. Who would of thought. To top it off the little pipp can even get on the big boy potty all by himself. I am so shocked at his big boy self. I will keep you posted as things progress.

This is what I am talking about!

So I finnally got a hold of the manager at this picture place and told her about all the issues with our first shoot and she rescheduled us with no problem and gave us more pictures for free than we ordered to begin with! I was very pleased and we had a private photo shooting and we taken care of like we were royalty. I LOVE THESE! I can't believe how big they are!

Sisters

The bond of sisters is amazing. I love my sisters so much! Growing up was very interesting someone was always missing a piece of clothing or perfume or jewelry. We definetly had our times and fought like cats and dogs but as we are older we miss each other so much. We all live in different states from Arizona to Texas to Arkansas to North Carolina and Florida. We don't get to see each other as much as we would like to and as the holidays approach we miss each other more and more. My baby sister who is to the right of me who is in the middle is turning 24 on the 18th of this month. What happened to my baby sister? How did she continue to get older to? Mandy(the baby sister) in visiting me right now and I am thinking about holding her hostage because I don't want her to leave. I miss all of you gals and wish for Christmas we could be together laughing and crying. Know that there is not a day that goes by that I don't wake up thinking about you from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. My friend Jennifer in Colorado has all 3 of her sisters living in the same city as her and I tell her all the time how lucky she is but I don't think she really understands. Sisters get each other and love each other and hate each other all the the same time. One day when we all don't have teeth we will live in the same retirement community and play canasta all day long. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Christmas Cuties!

It is hard believe that Christmas is already here. I am no a real fan of this picture for the story behind it is hard to imagine. I am in the process of trying to get some new photos taken. I know you must think I am crazy because they are cute they are just not what I wanted. I will tell you the story brace yourselves..... First I made an appointment and that is an act of God in itself. We went to the picture studio and were taken right back. We got the room set-up and the kids positioned and the camera caught on fire. No lie the camera caught on fire and started smoking the room up. We quickly exited and went outside waiting for them to prepare the next room. After about 30 minutes of waiting we got in the room and and started taking pictures and the camera starting acting up and it started deleting itself. NO lie! We left that room with a promise of 4 sheets of free pictures but that didn't sit to well. We waited about another 30 minutes and then got the next room set-up and by this time as you can imagine Ty and Aubrey were DONE! The lady taking the pictures was a little annoyed with Ty because his attention span was very little. I took the pictures with haste and it took 1 hour to get the order processed. I know the picture is cute but I wanted their Christmas outfits that my mom and dad got them to show and for you to be able to see the full cuteness. I have a call into this home office and wait patiently for a reply. I will give you an update as one unfolds.
