A Day in the MUD!

The house behind us just got built. They have had dirt landscaping for quite a while and the boys have loved it. Well, they just put in the yard. You would think that it would have eliminated the problem of dirty boys. WRONG! They put in sod and the sprinkler system. There is a patch of dirt left that will be filled in with rock, but in the meantime it is dirt. Combine spinklers watering the sod on a regular basis and dirt and you have a WONDERLAND for my boys. As you can see they really enjoyed themselves and it was pretty cute. Pretty cute the first time. but every night they want to go out and play in the mud. The shower is filthy after they are done, but we enjoy watching them get down and dirty!

Bella Really Does Exist

Everyone always comments that Bella is never in any photos with our family. Well, she is usally sleeping or not holding still so here are a few pictures of our Princess Bella! The joke has always been that I only married Bubba for his very attractive legs and curly hair (so my kids would have the curly locks as well). Unfortunately, my boys are blessed with my straight hair--but do not fear Bella has soft curls that just makes her pretty cute! She is truly the best baby girl! Look out world she is almost walking!

Ethan's Transformer Birthday Party!

THE NEW BIKE

For Ethan's birthday he got his first "BIG BOY" bike. Bubba has been so patient with him and every night when he gets home from work they go out and ride around the neighborhood! Noah thinks he is big enough to ride it too, but gets on and realizes he can't go anywhere. He just wants to be like his big brother!

THE UNDERWEAR

Potty Training Noah

It has been quite the process to try and get Noah (our genius child) to learn the importance of going potty in the potty! You would think that as smart as he is--he would have taught himself by now. I think he is too smart! Well, he told me that he needed big boy underwear with letters and numbers on them and then he would go to the potty. I searched everywhere for big boy underwear with letters and numbers on them. There were none to be found! Bubba made a desperate call to his mom and asked her to use her amazing sewing skills to make these underwear. She agreed and brought them out over the 4th of July! They were a hit and Noah LOVED them. However, he still refuses to use the potty. I guess he got some amazing underwear out of the whole thing! There are some that have his name, some with M&M's, and one pair that has the word DOG on them that he won't wear because he says "I am not a dog!)Thanks to Grammy for the underwear, you did such a great job. I wish I would have had her make some for Ethan, but I hope some princess ones are coming for Bella in a few years!
