Pottytrained!!!

I have potty trained all my kids early and for some reason I did not want to do it to Aubrey. She is by far my hardest toddler, but a little encouragement from a friend, I set a date and decided to do it. Much to my surprise, she has been my easiest potty trainer. We have been doing it for 2 1/2 weeks now and she is doing great. She needs a little reminder here and there but we have had several days of no accidents. I am hoping that she will be a pro by the time the baby joins us and will have no set backs! I don't know what it is about having them potty trained, but they all of a sudden decide they are ready to be big. She has attempted a to talk a lot more and show me the things she needs rather than just throwing a fit and expecting for me to figure it out. The other picture of her is of last night...we had ice cream cones after Family Home Evening and she made a disaster, it was quickly followed up by a nice warm bath!

Carson!

Carson has turned a new chapter in life and is off to school twice a week! He has done surprisingly well. Not that I thought he would do bad, I just thought maybe he would have a hard time being away from me, but the fact that Addi and Jackson go everyday makes him crazy that he only gets to go twice a week. Carson is my emotional child. He is so sweet and is always giving me kisses and telling me that he loves me more. He is awesome with Aubrey and can't wait to for the new baby, always coming up with new names for it. The other pics with this blog are just of him climbing into the bathtub after he had gotton out and gotten his jammies on. He is a really fun kid always surprising us with the things that he does. We sure do love our Carson.

The Perfect Evening

I really am not complaining...I feel like the luckiest girl alive, but after a long day of managing a household and trying to be a good mom and wife, I look forward to the evenings when everything and everybody is in relax mode. Before school started we were really being relaxed about the kids bedtimes :) (something I already miss) A few weeks ago when Jack got home from mutual, he made some popcorn and cuddled up to them on the couch and was telling them a story of when he was little. I was in the kitchen giving Carson a little bedtime snack (bowl of cereal) and Aubrey was already in bed. It just seemed to me to be the perfect evening.
