A Whole New World

We decided (a long time ago really)
that it was time to start potty training.
Seriously this time!!!
We have sort of started before...but for whatever
reason something always seemed to come up.
We have been at it for a few days now and she is doing
pretty well! We have of course had a few hurtles...
but I am so proud of her! And hopefully things will just click soon!

She has been running around in her pull ups...
sans pants! (easier that way!)























So she found a box last week...the day she got her new Buzz & Woody dolls...
and it was their home! She pushed it up to the edge of the couch
and had a slide down the edge! Kept her busy for quite a while!

Never A Dull Moment!

Now that it is warmer (every once in a while)
There are all sorts of projects going on here...
Even more than before!
Most of you know that my husband always has
something going on all the time anyway.

But we have all been spending time outside.
Trying to get our house looking nice!
There are still lots of things to do inside too!
But the yard really was a disaster!
This weekend Trenton borrowed a bobcat from a guy at work
and he has been having all sorts of fun making a big mess!
Which I can't seem to keep the dog or Aiden out of!

But at least they should be done soon!
And maybe by the end of the summer we'll have grass again!






























Aiden is all sorts of busy too!
We have been trying to get ready for the new baby...
and reading lots of books about new babies coming home...
and being a big sister...
and going thru baby stuff.

I have been having some back pain...so she has too!
so she has been sitting on the heating pad a lot the last couple of days!

So she has become quite the little mommy!
We feed and change and rock her babies several times a day!
We take at least one with us about everywhere!
She is so much fun! And growing up way too fast!
And will be a fabulous big sister!

Family Time

My mom & dad came to visit this last week...
and it was so much fun!!!
I wish we could see them more often!
But we were so glad to see them!
There are a lot of pictures with this one...again!

My sister is moving back to Indiana and getting rid of all the stuff her kids have outgrown
and I am all too happy to take it off her hands!
She gave us this little rocking chair...which is a huge hit!!!
She just wouldn't get out of it!

Easter morning the Easter Bunny had put eggs all over the house!
He brought a basket of stuff too...
but the eggs were the top priority of course!
Most of the eggs were pretty easy to find!

Things went pretty smoothly until she discovered that there was candy in the eggs!


A little purse that was in her basket
Daddy trying to steal some of her candy!
We went up to my sister's house that afternoon and had dinner and a big egg hunt with all the kids!

We went shopping with my parents...and played games...and Aiden got to boss them around!
On Wednesday my sister came down and we went to the park & had lunch.
Then we went to Cabelas...I saw them feed the fish for the first time...it was pretty cool!
On Thursday Trenton was home too...and we took Aiden to HeeHaw Farm's Spring Fling!
It was so cute!
And there was a lot for kids to do!
Kids 3 and under were free and everyone else was $5

These were actually boards for the bean bag throw...but she kept sticking her face thru!

They had a few of these rubber horse swings...she was a big fan!
Only mama Debbie was allowed to push her!

Bopa Steve watching her jump!
This was a trampoline (covered in hay)...it was fun too...as long as there weren't too many kids on it!

She thinks we really need a tractor at our house!

There is a little area where you can pet the animals.
We got to pet goats, pigs, bunnies, chickens & chicks, a donkey...
the baby goats were her favorite though!
She could hold them!

They were so darn cute!

Daddy took Aiden down one of the slides!

there was a tractor pulling this little train...
again Trenton was a good sport...
Aiden said it was too bumpy though!

Our cute little family on the hay ride!

mama and bopa on the hayride!

Aiden & daddy had a sand fight in the sand box!

She rode a pony for the first time...

I guess they are better from a distance!
She did so well though!
We went to the Kangaroo Zoo for the first time...that is a pretty cool place! Aiden is still a little young though! She didn't love most of it!
My parents left early Saturday morning to head back to Indiana.
We were sad to see them go!
Aiden asked for them all day!

This weekend I got out the bins of baby clothes and started sorting!
Aiden found some of the baby gowns and decided she needed to wear one...
I was all too happy to oblige!!!
I thought it was hilarious!
I really couldn't believe we got it on her!

Aunt Mandy sent out a lot of stuff too!
Some clothes and books...but most importantly...
roller skates!

We opened them immediately!
And she can do it herself on the carpet...
but dad, mama and bopa all took turns pushing her thru the house!


Aunt Christy also gave her some purple snow pants that she should fit into in the next year or so. She wants to put them on everyday! Today she watched cartoons in them...I think she looks like grimace...from McDonald's.

She is HILARIOUS! I love it!

20 Week Ultrasound!!!

We went to the dr. yesterday. And we got to have another ultrasound!
The baby was very cooperative and we found out that...

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We are very excited...and now just have to come up with another name!
So now all the fun stuff starts...getting the room ready...shopping!
(although it is nice that we already have so much girl stuff!!!)
And Aiden is going to have a little sister! And everything else looks great!

Just wanted to share the great news!
