Little Piece of Heaven

We went to our favorite place yesterday. The Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. The sun was setting so I didn't get as many good pictures I hoped but I got a few. The kids love finding different stuff on the ground. Ethan found a huge nut or seed pod thing and had to see if it would float. Zoe spent most of her time finding leaves of all sizes.

Tooth News.

Ethans new tooth is growing in. Yeah.
I will continue to update the growth.

Potty Trained!!!

Zoe is POTTY TRAINED!!!
NO MORE DIAPERS!!
If you can't tell I am a little more than excited about this.
She hasn't worn a diaper in over a week...even at night time.
We thought it would be funny to take a picture with all of her underwear on at the same time.
Now we have to start worrying about her having boyfriends. Just kidding.

New Ride.

We traded in our Camry for a mini van. It is almost time for me to be a soccer mom. Ethan loves announcing that he will be in kindergarten soon. We got a Nissan Quest. We love it.

The Nut Cracker.

We went to a park near our house and the kids discovered that nuts come from trees. I discovered what it is like to have a 3 and 4 year old with a never ending supply of nuts. Hilarious. They also learned how to roll down hills. Ethan rolled down and cracked a nut open with his back. Not so funny. I convinced him that it was funny for a second and then he insisted on moving every nut out of his roll path from then on. Throwing nuts is also the funnest thing for a kid to do.

Natalies house

Today the kids and I went to Natalie's house for a visit. Leila is 4 1/2 months old now and cuter than ever. She wants to be running already. The kids were really good while we were there. It is always good to spend time with family.

Uncle Nick's house

We visited Nick, Lori, and Josie over the holiday weekend just before school started. The kids had a great time playing with Josie, and we got some good grown up time. I learned a card game called 31 ( I won). Nick learned to play golf on the Wii. As you can see by the pictures the kids got alot of trampoline time in as well.
