Sunday Fun

Tug and Sammy K have been coming home with us after church on most Sundays. The kids all get to have lunch and play. Today they got to play outside since the weather was so nice. Below are two videos of what they moved on to doing later in the day. The first video is from my perspective. The second is from Sammy K's perspective. Yes, I did let him hold my phone the entire time as Max pushed him. I know the video quality isn't the best. I don't have the iphone 4 yet......

Happy Birthday

Today is my brothers birthday! I know how you are with birthdays Thomas, so I will keep this short. We just wanted to wish you a happy happy birthday! I am so blessed to have you as my brother. We hope you enjoy your upcoming move and pray it is a prosperous one. We miss you and we all can not wait to see you again!

Potty Update

Max is continuing do great on the potty. He has not had an accident in over a week. I can't explain how big of a difference it makes in only having to change 2 diapers instead of 3. Charley you are next.....

Signing Day

On Sunday I signed Max up for his first season of blast ball. It is kind of like tee ball, but for littler kids. Essentially you place the ball on the tee and the slugger will swing at it and run to first base. There is a little horn in the base, so it honks whenever they jump on it. The team in the field is all huddled together and chase the ball wherever it goes. It can be rather amusing to watch. Several friends from church, including cousin Sammy K, signed up for blast ball as well. I was told I will probably be the coach. Good thing Tammy agreed to help me out. I think it should be a fun time. Max can hardly wait.

Potty Time

The last month or so we have been trying to get Max interested in peeing in the big boy potty and not his diapers. He said he wasn't big enough yet, but he would be someday. Well, apparently someday was a couple days ago. Kate was changing Max and he says, "Mom, I don't think I am going to wear diapers anymore". So we ran with that idea and have been working on potty training the last 3 days. It actually has gone fairly well. He tells us when he needs to go and sometimes he just goes to the bathroom by himself and takes care of business. There have been a couple little accidents when he couldn't get his pants down quick enough, but for the most part he is catching on well. We are hoping he continues on the path he is. Charley is getting close to being ready. However, I think we will just try one at a time.

Betty Crocker Wannabe

My wife has recently become a little Betty Crocker. With in the last couple of days she has made homemade bread, homemade apple pie, and homemade cupcakes. The kids preferred when she made cupcakes because they were able to lick the icing off the mixing beaters. Even Zena snuck in there and stole a couple licks. Poor Myles missed out because he was in bed.
