Our House!

Here is our house. It has gone thru some pretty
big changes in the last couple months...
it still isn't done yet...but it looks so much better now!!!

I will get more on here...of all the inside projects too!

My BIG Girl!

I love being a mom!!! It is so much fun to watch your kids grow,
and learn and change! (and sad...but I am trying to focus on the good)
Aiden is now potty trained! We still have an accident every once
in a while...but after the first 2 weeks she decided it was ok after all.
She is in big girl panties and everything!!! This was the last big hurdle we
wanted to cross over before the new baby comes! Exciting and
scary at the same time! Now we just have to start getting ready for the baby!

A few weeks ago our neighbors cleaned out their attic & garage...
they have 2 girls that are 5 & 7. So they gave us another car
seat and a tricycle! We do already have a trike...
that I prefer that has a handle I can push & steer with! But this little red
one is her favorite...cause she can reach the peddles all the way around. And last week something clicked...and she can peddle all by herself! If only she could steer
at the same time!!! I just thought I would share with all of you!

Indoor Fun!

The last few days we have needed to find things to do inside...
because of the cold/wet weather...or the fact that our back yard
is now mostly a big pile of DIRT!!!
And she helped me make a cake for Mother's Day and my birthday!
She really likes chocolate! And the cake is delicious!







I have been working on a blanket for Aiden for a while now...
it is to go on her big girl bed...so it is large!
And she decided she wanted to curl up in it to watch cartoons...
crochett hook and all! I thought it was funny!

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!
