"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss

I absolutely love watching Jobe turn into a little boy. Developing personality, learning to love, communicating what he wants and doesn't want, discovering what it means to be a big brother, creating an imagination of his own... I could go on forever! It's such a unique privilege to be able to watch children grow and learn!

Today Jobe tried to potty train his horse.. I hope Jobe found it just as difficult as it was for me to potty train him!

We are loving watching Jayla start to interact with us by smiling, looking at us and cooing!

Finally day 3...

Dont want to brag or anything buuut.... Jobe only had 4 accidents today and is loving using his potty!!! YAY!

Day 2 of potty training...

Well i do have to say that day 2 is WAY better then the first day! I need a couple sets of fingers and toes tho to count all the accidents..but thats ok! I would hate to let the washer and dryer have a day or more like an hour of rest! I cant wait to look back on these days and laugh but till then we will keep on trying!

Potty training...

So here is my update on day 1 of the 3 day potty training method! At this point its hard for me to beleive everyone when they say it works and is the easiest way to go about this! Im pretty sure i have spent 90% of the day staring at jobes rear end and the other 10% nursing jayla .... And this is only day 1! Haha but over all its a draining and exciting experience! The book stresses over and over to be positive and give lots of praise... Easier said then done! I find this to be more of a learning experience for me in that department! I think at supper time tonight it finally "clicked" in and we made it to the potty on time!!! HUGE accomplishment for day 1! I look at it like this... In order to be good at something it takes practice...so we will keep on trying!

Cookies...

I found possibly the yummiest cookie recipe ever the other day and finally got a chance to make them today!! There so good that you cant stop at one... You have to eat 2! If u want the recipe search lemon crinkle cookies on pinterest. They are really easy to make.

My goal....

My goal for this year is to not worry about the unimportant things and spend more time doing what matters!

Saturday fun...

We love painting!!

Just another day in paradise....

Cant complain about my day today!! How bout you!?

The drive home....

After 6 hours of driving and When your hard up for entertainment... Ear plugs work great haha! Love the beautiful sunset tonight!

Happy 1 month!!

Happy birthday jayla!! One month old today and weighing 9 pounds!
