Rylee's 3

Here are some pictures from Rylee's 3rd birthday. I can't believe that she is already 3. We had a Dora Fiesta theme. Complete with a Big Pinata. (if you know Dora then you have heard of the Big Pinata). She had a blast and is already talking about her next birthday.




 

1st Haircut

Ok so I now I have fallen of the face of the blogging world. But I just haven't felt like doing it lately. We have had a lot of things going on. But this milestone was too big not to post. Jacob got his first haircut. Yes before his sister has even had one. (we will be getting one next week)
I was trying to hold out to take him to a little barber shop but I couldn't stand it any longer and had to cut it myself. I think I did an ok job seeing as how the only hair I ever cut was a barbie doll and she got a buzz cut.


Before

After

I got it a little short in the front. But he looks cute. You can see his face better. 

More Pictures From Shannon

Here are some more pictures. It wouldn't let me put them all on one post.

This one is so funny. We are thinking about using it as a Christmas card.

If only Jacob was crying!

Shannon Stanfield

We had some pictures made with Shannon Stanfield. The kids did great. Jacob had the same face in all the shots. We had 300 pictures taken, so here are a few of them.

Pictures Of Jacob

Ok so it has been forever since my last post. I realize that this blog is kind of one sided toward Rylee, so here are some recent pictures of Jacob.

Public Potty Trip

We have been working on Potty Training so on our way into Target today Rylee said "I need to go Potty Mommy"
Which on one hand was great that she was telling me but on the other hand she takes forever to go and she is very narrative. Here is how our 30 min long adventure went.

I will try to set the scene. Rylee Jacob and I are crammed into a small stall. Rylee only knows one volume LOUD! Many people are coming in and out. Our conversation went something like this. I wish I could have recorded it. Warning it is not for the squeamish!

Rylee:Loudly " Me whispering:


I am going to go Poo Poo and Pee"
Great go ahead"
Mommy go outside and wait.
No I am going to stay here.
You gonna watch me go Poo Poo
yes
and Jacob watch me too?
yes
I beeped excuse me! (beeped is what Rylee calls toots)
I am gonna beep again
Lots of loud grunts
I going poo poo!
Here it comes! Its coming!
good job
Look I got one! Look mommy!
yes great honey
It's a big one.
is it big or little mommy?
looks big to me.
Here comes another one.
Its a little one.
More grunts
and another little one
yes finish up.
Pointing into the toilet. It's a daddy, sister and brother ones!
great rylee keep going.
Someone walks into the stall next to us.
Look there's a mommy, She is peeing! Looking under the stall I can see her!
Look another one! Another big one! Looking into the toilet. I got 1..2..3..4..5..
Ok rylee are you done?
No I got some more. A Little baby one! Can you pray for my belly?
Lord please heal rylee's belly and make it all better.
Ok I got some more poo poos
I all done you wipe my bottom?
I wish I could remember it all. The whole potty trip seemed to last forever. But we finally arrived victorious!

Family Portrait

Here is a family Portrait that Rylee drew of us. I added the names.

The only thing that would have made it better is if it wasn't on the dining room wall!

Florida Trip Week 1

Here are pictures from the beach trip with my mom. We had a great time. And it went as well (or at least as well as it could with 6 kids six and under and no husbands)
