Snow Fun, The Babies, and Love Day

We got more snow around the first of February and the kids just couldn't stay out of it. I took them out to play for a while, but I got cold so they just played on the front porch until they were completely frozen. I was watching them from the front door and this is what I found when they thought I wasn't looking.

Just a little update on Kamrie and her "kids" as she calls them now... She has gone from carrying just two babies around to all kinds of "kids."

Here is a picture of what I loving refer to as "Kamrie's orphanage"

And finally "Love Day." We didn't do a romantic date this year due to crazy school schedules and the like, but we had a very exciting pink breakfast and an entertaining trip to the outlets. Thanks for the flowers Dad (mom), Brady, and Kids. I had plenty of beautiful aromatic reminders of how much I was loved this year.

We also made and decorated cupcakes just like always. The kids got messy and had a ball.

Big Belly Update

So things have been crazy lately and I haven't been updating again like I should. Bla, bla, bla! But I have had more than a few requests for some belly pictures so... We took the first picture sometime in December so that I could keep everyone updated on my growing belly but here we are in February and it is still just sitting on my computer so now you get to see the comparison....Crazy what a a couple months will do to a girl in my situation!!!


Still Growing!!!

Sweet Success

As many of you may remember, we started this little process called potty training about 3 months ago. We thought we had it about licked (she'd gone about 2 weeks without an accident, but with lots of persuasion) when our little sweetie decided that she didn't really want to use the potty anymore!!! I fought it for a few days because I thought we were so close, but gave up because I got tired of fighting it and cleaning up pee pee messes. Fast forward to sometime in January when the little princess herself woke up one morning and said she wanted to wear panties again. Of course I let her not knowing just how long it would be until she pulled the "just kidding" card once again. I wasn't a big fan of the joke the first time and probably wouldn't like just as much the second time around. However, this time seems to be the real thing. She goes everywhere in panties now and we really don't have to worry about accidents except the occasional tinkle as she's running to the potty or trying to pull her pants down. I couldn't be more excited. Right now I can say that it really wasn't that bad...although I think potty training is very similar to things like childbirth in that you forget all the pain when it's over and just think of the blessings.
Oh and did I mention, I love this little girl, attitude and all!!!
