Random and DR.

Owen poured this amazing cup of Keifer and didn't even spill!

So cute! At their 7 year old well check visit.

Dr. McHugh was awesome, letting each boy look in each other's ears.

The whole team!  We had 2 neighbors, Will (second from the left) and Sully (right), as well as their dads as coaches.

Time with Friends

Chase and Owen just love their friends and love to spend every waking minute with them.  It's crazy how they go from just wanting to be home with us to wanting a friend over all the time.  This summer we had lots of friend time.  They went to the Brown's for swimming fun.

Had "Owen Across the Street" over to play

Potty Trained!

She did it!  Hattie is potty trained!  On September 30th I decided it was time and took Hattie to daycare in undies.  Prior to that she had been going in a diaper but has been using the potty to do her business.  It was time!

She did great!  She had no accidents that day or that week!  She did great at her other daycare when Amber was on vacation and had no accidents there, even though it was a new environment.  She has done great at home, too.  Rarely having an accident.  I'm so proud of my big girl!  She's very proud too and tells me every day that she went "pee pee" on the potty.  Love you Hattie!

Hattie's Undies and Just Hattie

These are Hattie's new undies and one of the first days she wore them in July. She was so proud and excited!

Cute little buns

Outside on a beautiful July day after church.

Little sweetie

Hattie loves to walk around the tree in the front yard and mostly she has been successful.

She likes to pull the non skid rug pads out from under our bathroom rugs.  Stinker.

Random July

I think these pictures of the boys and I were taken when Jeff was on his work trip this summer. They got to have a sleep over with Mommy.

Hattie hangs out while watching TV.  She loves to have a huge blanket spread out to play on.

Hattie loves to pull these rug non slip mats out and play with them
