We are gearing up for a fun filled weekend with our friends! We are going down to the lake, Our friends parents just bought a farm house down there and we are going to camp out on their land and go out on the boat! I am so excited! I went shopping with Paula yesterday to get our food for our trip. We kept the cost of the food down to around $50 per family. Not bad for 4 days! We leave tomorrow morning!
In two weeks we are headed out of town again. This time it is for a family reunion, in Oklahoma. We are also excited for that trip. Jory Jeremy, and Dad #2 are riding motorcycles down there and Jen and I are going to take turns driving the car and riding on the back of the bike with our hubby's!! What fun. Hope it doesn't rain....Jory said he won't ride if is supposed to rain. Grandpa Swim has been really sick with his cancer, so it will be really good to see him and Grandma. Not to mention, it will be really nice to see everyone else too! They have not seen Christian since he could barely sit up. They will be in shock to see how much he has grown up.
We are really trying to keep Christian's paci away from him during the day....OH BOY it is hard. He walks around saying paci, paci, paci.... Then he throws a fit until I can distract him with something else. AHHH!!! It is really testing me. I can't give into him every time he asks for it! Oh yeah to top the stress card, I am going to really start potty training him next week! That will take a BUNCH of time! We will see how that goes! The doctor says that I should not push him, but I have backed off of the whole big boy potty thing, and I want to get him excited about it again! We will see.
Paci...Paci...Paci....I planted my flower pots last week, they are so pretty here are a few pictures of them.
I love my back yard...Christian and I spend a lot of time outside now that it is warm. He plays and I read. Usally until Jory gets home then I start dinner! I love Summer! The lake the warm and the tan!!! LOL
That is all I have for now!

What pretty pictures! I love my backyard too.... it's so very peaceful. I need peace in my life, and I find it in my back yard.
So, what are your plans for Jory's birthday? There is a home game that night with fireworks afterwards.... you guys interested in going?
Have a great time this weekend. I'm just slightly jealous.... I'd love to go to the lake sometime.
Love you~ Mom
Glad to see you are joining us again. :-) Have fun this weekend!!
16 months is WAY to young to attempt to potty train a child, especially a boy. They usually don't have the physical awareness of their bodies and they for sure don't have the language skills to communicate. Anyone who claims to have potty trained such a young child has really only trained the parent to know the child's schedule and stick them on the potty at mostly the 'right' times. Wait a year until the child gives the signals of readiness. Sure, keep the potty out and talk about it and talk about what big people do, but don't force the issue. When the time is right, it will go very quickly with no fuss.
Who is Anonymous???? Please tell me who you are!!! I am just going to show him the potty, and introduce him to it. I am not going push it on him though! Thanks for the advice!
