80-40= 40.00 Dollars!

Yay! She did it! Caroline goes potty "alls the times" just like Papa. :) So now my diaper cost is cut in half! She tells me every time she needs to go. We have gone on two 8 hour drives... and yes she stays dry! She has also had the flu and she stays dry! She has never had an accident when we are on the go running errands. She has woken up at 3 am and has come in and told us she needs to go. She sometimes goes by herself.. which I have issues because she hasn't mastered the wiping, but she is amazing. I look at her and wonder where my little girl has gone.
What did it? I got cloth diapers, made cloth wipes, and made my spray solution to spray on her bum. And just as I hoped.. she hated it. She despised being sprayed. We went to panties aka: underwear and every time she had an accident I put her back in a diaper (cloth or disposable) for about a half an hour and she then proved to me she could use the potty and it was back into underwear! We have an occasional accident, but no more cash out in the trash. Hooray! I have put Henry in cloth diapers, and to my surprise. I like them. I see your disgusted look through the computer screen and it's okay, I was there too. I don't use them all the time. Just at home and when they are convenient for me. But for now.. one kid in diapers and one kid potty trained!

I can't get enough!

Smashed avocado, thick sliced cheddar cheese, sliced perfect tomatoes, torn lettuce/spinach, sprinkle it with salt lay it all on pumpernickel bread. I like to call it fantabulous!

Disneyland

Caroline took her second trip to Disneyland on Memorial Day weekend. We went on a Friday and it wasn't too crowded. This is excited Caroline on the tram with Grandmama. I know she didn't quite understand what she was getting into. I think she enjoyed it while she was there and still talks about it, but maybe the magic will come later. We had a great time. She love "it's a small world" and wanted to go on it a third time, but we vetoed that one.
We did a fabulous thing at the Bippidi bobbidi Boutique. Caroline's Fairy Godmother took her shopping, did her hair and dressed her up as a princess.
This is Princess Caroline

Aunt Sarah's Wedding!

Yipee! Beautiful Sarah, Aaron's Sister, got married last Friday. We LOVE Christian, and are so excited that he is apart of the family. He is SO good to her. And she is happier than I've ever seen her! Congratulations!

This is all of Aaron's family... to date. And I know, not the best picture, but sweet Alicia took great pictures until my camera died. :(
Oh and the little girls skirts were made by Aaron's amazing Aunt, http://beetsnparsnips.com/

Boise Trip


The other weekend, Caroline, Henry and I went to my sister's, who lives in Boise, for her son's baptism. We took this darling picture of my mom and all of the grandkids. Aren't they darling? (Christopher was mad, because Logan pulled his hair.)

Dinosaur Towel

I saw a navy towel on sale at the store and thought, hey it would be fun to make a dinosaur towel for Henry. I bought it and took on the project. It became a longer project than I anticipated. And I turned it into a stegosauraus towel that he will not wear until he is 6, but I love it.

Bad Hair Day


I do recognize that if your little boy's hair has to be tucked behind the ears, or tucked under the collar of the shirt it is time for a haircut... I just hate to cut his hair.
