Big Girl in the House!!!!!!!!

Make that two big girls! Ha!
We definitely have a big girl in our house! We have been potty trained for about 2 months now! Potty training was a wonderful experience for us. We did it cold turkey.......no potty chair and no pull-ups. We spent the weekend at home with no bottoms on! About every 15 minutes I would take her and put her on the big potty and let her try. If she would try we would give her 1 M&M and when Travis or I would use the bathroom we would eat 1 M&M so she could see the reward. The next week we wore panties and the rest is history!

The past 10 weeks...............

have been filled with many happenings for us! The last time I posted we had just gotten moved into our new house. It took forever to get internet at our house so I have not been able to post. I was able to check in on the blogs that I love to read before school started each morning but I didnt want to post while I was at work. We are well into our summer break and I must say I am loving being home with me little girl! I am not big on writing tons so I am just going to fill this post with many pictures of what has been going on!

We moved in Easter weekend so we got to hunt eggs in our own yard this year. It was forecasted to rain so I hid the eggs in the house just in case! Once we got up Easter morning and I saw it was not raining I put eggs out in the backyard as well!


We had Brook's 2nd birthday at our new house and it was filled with many family members and friends! We didnt have a theme but just a few different things Brook likes! Memaw Bear made a farm cake which was soooo cute! Brook picked out her own birthday outfit with cupcakes on it. We had good ole barbque with all the trimmings and homemade ice cream. The kids had fun blowing bubbles and loving on Hunter. Brook was still getting over her ear ache so she was not into opening gifts, but thank goodness we had Emma there to help out!
My mom, dad, Nana and Papa went in with us to get this swingset for her! Her Nana and Pawpaw got her a yellow bucket swing to go with it!
Here is a pic from Mother's Day with my Mom, sis, and Nana!

Here is a pic with Brook and Papa! This shirt has since been retired! Ha!

Then we had Father's Day......I must say that I married a wonderful daddy! We had lunch with my dad, aka "Grumpy" and this is what he did after he got his belly full!

Here is Brook enjoying some beef jerky and swimming with her Daddy and Pawpaw.

Now I feel so much better to be all caught up and can continue to post more of our sweet angel!
