A Day at the Track

Today was a nice day to ride around the track at the farm where my parents graciously allowed us to put one up last summer, so we meet my sister in law, her husband and their two kids and let them play around. There was a toy there for everyone to ride, so they had lots of fun!

Riley jumping the tabletop. He says he is ready to race so we may try one of the fair races at the end of the summer.

Logan let Levi ride his toy quad around and Levi loved every minute of it. He went up and down the jumps and all over the field. He got to act like one of the big boys!

Levi and Logan. I see these two being up to no good together in the future :)

Logan and Lexi

finally got Carter to ride his bike this summer

cousins : Carter, Riley, Levi, Logan, and Lexi ( we are just missing Conner)

Potty Training Success

Potty training is my least favorite thing to get accomplished. The older two were 3( even a little after) before they trained, Riley probally b/c he was my first and I didn't really push the issue till later and Carter was just stubborn! So I was pleasantly suprised that Levi showed an interest in it so young, ( maybe the others did to I just didn't tune in to the clues they were giving me) and I think its safe to say that after only a month he is pretty much potty trained except for naps and bedtime( which he has been dry alot after those too. Once I even forgot a diaper during the night and he was dry in the morning!) He just turned 2 a few weeks ago! I usually let him be naked in the house which makes it easier than taking the pants and diaper of constantly and when we go out he wore a pull up, but now he even asks to go when we are out and about. He also thinks its fun to go outside.We skipped the small potty altogether and went right to the big potty, no potty ring/seat either and he did fine with it. When he went #1 he got a small candy( remember sixlets candy? just little balls of coated chocolate? he got one of those) and if he went #2 he got a bigger candy. This task was a little harder, he seemed afraid of the process at first but now I think he is good. So glad to be done potty training my children( hopefully he does not regress) and most important, I don't have to buy another pack of diapers again( except for pull-ups but they last alot longer, so less money spent!)


such a big boy!

checking out his "deposit" :)
